Virtual housekeeping

[winter]

A very happy birthday to both artela and moustachios :)

In other news, my e-mail works again, and I am going to vivisect my hosting company on a medieval examining table if they pull off one more stunt like that.

I also have nearly 5,000 words of a Coldfire fic for some reason. Woe is me.

Meme from dyoklako:

List five (5) books that you have read and liked. List another five (5) that you plan/will to read. Then list five (5) more that you have read and didn't like and another five (5) you do not plan to read at all. cut and paste the instructions and your own list on your lj/blog.


Read and liked, recently:
1) C.S. Friedman, the Coldfire trilogy (Black Sun Rising, When True Night Falls, Crown of Shadows)
2) Elizabeth Kostova, The Historian
3) Anna Kańtoch, The Devil on the Tower
4) Georgette Heyer, Sylvester (shut up!)
5) C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia

Planning to read:
1) Goscinny and Sempé, The New Adventures of Little Nicholas
2) Frances Wilson, The Courtesan's Revenge
3) Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra
4) J. Sheridan LeFanu, Carmilla
5) Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith

3) Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha
4) Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky (second attempt, still blah)
5) Philip K. Dick and Roger Zelazny, Deus Irae

Do not plan to read at all:

2) Any Star Wars Extended Universe book, ever
3) Anything by Hemingway. Read two, enough to tell I hate it
4) Any new Nora Roberts. Plot rehash deja-vu
5) Prince of Tennis, in any shape or form

Makes sense.

Although, if you want, I could e-mail you some of the EU in e-book format.

As a plot idea... what if Yoda DID go after Anakin, and Obi-Wan after the emporer... what would happen next, do you think? If Yoda never faced the Emporer, or did not do so in the Senate, what would have happened next?

Might he have attempted to "Retrain" Anakin? Particularly if he did so BEFORE Anakin choked Padme, thus killing her?

I'm afraid Yoda would have just killed Anakin (probably by tricking him into doing something stupid, always an option with our Ani) and then either get killed by the Emperor or manage to kill him while doing it. Most probable end effect, the Republic/Empire disintegrates. Not the best theme for fiction, at least the character-driven kind I write ;)
