Gather round, for stories both intriguing and laughable, for this is the thread of those who take their fandom to literary heights.

Let us start with one from our friend Reegar, published before his mysterious disappearance.

Well, I got these fics to look at (barring some of my own horrible fics I wrote).

One's Star Wars: Awakening by Dave Gremillion. This is a rewrite of Episode 1, which surprisingly matches with the pre-99 EU and has one thing that most prequel rewrites don't usually have which I can't say because of spoilers. 

Another's Project JS by P99. This is also a prequel rewrite, but there's an interesting twist to it: Obi-Wan's a clone of a Jedi Master. I think that's all I need to say. Not really a spoiler because they establish it in the first chapter.

Finally, there's Balance by Xander867, a fanfiction of The Clone Wars cartoon. Here, Ahsoka teams up with a Pureblooded Sith named Adas and they try to deal with the Clone Wars. This is an edited version Xander867's earlier fic Secrets Inside of Me, which is just as interesting, but I feel Balance is better written, the story flows better, and the characterization is more believable.

Screw lightsabers, I’ll stick with regular swords. At least they won’t blow up in my face like this franchise has.

I've already posted a link to a certain author's fanfiction of which I like in the General Star Wars Random Thoughts Thread, so I'll just post a link to that post.

Beyond that, I haven't read much Star Wars fanfiction. I read some Star Wars/Stargate SG-1 crossovers years ago by an author whose name I can't recall, and they were okay for what they were, but the two universes just don't mesh well together (in hindsight, that is).

On that note, I also wrote a Star Wars/Stargate SG-1 crossover back when I was in Grade 9. Looking back on it (mentally, that is; I no longer have the physical copy of the story), there were some interesting ideas in it, but overall it was stupid and the sequels -- which I planned but never wrote -- would have been even stupider.

And, of course, there are the PT rewrites I've written/am in the process of writing; two of those can be found in the rewrite subforum.

Actually, I think you can mesh Star Wars and SG-1 together. You just have to make sure how you do it without having one franchise overshadow the other (which can be said for any crossover, really).

As for the author of those crossovers, I think you mean Dark Jedi Princess (who wrote the "Powerlust" series) or was it DarthMarrs (who wrote "Of Gods Light and Dark" and its sequel The Heavens Fall: A Jedi On Earth). Do either of them sound familiar?

It wasn't either of those two. I read the stories on the writer's own website, and that was way back in 2003/2004, so I doubt I'd be able to find them again.

Looking back, methinks this thread perhaps should have been posted in off-topic so as to incorporate non-SW fanfiction into the discussion.
