I spent much of my snow day cleaning, and as a result, I found the USB drive I lost several months ago that had all my writing on it! This wasn't as much of a disaster as it could have been, because I have been writing so slowly that there were only a few things that had been changed since my last backup, but one of them was the Force Ghosts story with the Taoism.

And re-reading it on the recovered drive, I realized that I'd actually gotten to a pretty natural stopping point, and the odds of me finishing the entire planned story were fairly low at this point, so I cleaned it up and posted it! Here it is. (There may be more in this universe that gets written someday? I really want to write something with Han and Finn, if nothing else. But there may not be more. At least not before the next movie comes out.)

Summary: "Dying, for a Jedi Master in the line of Yoda, was a gentle thing"; or, "Hi, Not Listening To This Anymore," Han said, appearing suddenly. "I'm dead."

My writing files became a confused mess during the period the drive was lost, so I'm hoping in the next few weeks to go through the WIPS and sort them into "Never going to write any more of this, clean up what you've got and post it as a forever-WIP"; "This was supposed to be the start of a 100000 word epic but you are never going to write the epic so get it to a stopping point, cauterize it, and post it"; "This was meant to be a short thing and you were only a thousand words short when you lost your nerve so just do it already"; and "actual WIPs." So hopefully maybe you'll see some results from that coming through soonish.

On the Star Wars front, I have been reading the Doctor Aphra comics, because lesbian chaotic neutral archaeologist during the Rebellion era written by Kieron Gillen, yes please. And it is very good but now I have run out of her solo series and I am at serious risk of getting sucked into the Darth Vader comics she first appeared in and if I go that far, then who knows how far down in the pit I will end up? If I start posting about Grand Admiral Thrawn or something, somebody throw me a rope.
