Sith had a saying for it -- a slip of the saber -- that moment the apprentice turned on the master, beginning and ending the glorious Dark cycle yet again. Not good for morale perhaps, but it had its own perfect symmetrical balance, something the Jedi lacked.

Palpatine wasn't ready for it, then again, no Master ever is. When the saber touched his heart, he tried to laugh through the bubbling blood.

"Well done," he gurgled as he fell, but his apprentice wasn't impressed.

"You always talked too much," Amidala said distastefully, flicking the saber shut. "At least I'll enjoy the silence."

She gave birth without help or drugs, screaming in defiance and rage against the pain that felt like she was being ripped in half.

Wildly, she thought about killing the creature that was causing her so much anguish, but her ambition persevered and pulling the bloody child from between her legs, she held it high in triumph.

But the pain didn't stop. She gasped in agony as yet another child slipped from her body and Amidala couldn't believe her luck.

Twins.

Two, not one, to choose from. Two weapons in hand and oh Darkness, she thought, you are great indeed.

Obi-Wan had taken to calling it, in his own dry way, a new low, even for Sith. Anakin wanted to kill him every time he said it, but Obi-Wan was only speaking the truth.

He had been the Chosen One, hadn't he?

Chosen by her to breed the next generation of Sith. Bitterly, Anakin wondered if Palpatine had approved her plan. He wondered if he and Obi-Wan would survive this hunt, searching star to star, or die.

He wondered if he could endure another minute without knowing the fate of his child.

Hold on, precious one. Your father is coming.

	Very nice! I have some fic of my own I plan to put up within the next few days, after my journals are set up and such. I look forward to this community. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! I'd love for this to become an active asylum, as Star Wars fic has always been the one refuge that never caused me stress, lol. It's such a rich universe, what's not to love? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, Dark Amidala! How long has it been since I read Dark Amidala!? (Been out of the fandom for a few years, it'll wear off eventually.) Interesting explanation of 'Chosen One', and it fits well with the traditional 'prophecy not meaning what you think it means, but being correct anyway' thing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	There are other Dark Amidala fics? AWESOMESAUCE. I've never really been deeply in this fandom -- too overwhelming in size and factions -- but I'd sure love to read more fic. I just don't know where to start. Thanks for reading! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only ones I really remember are FernWithy's two-part series of By the Grace of Lady Vader and The Ascension of the Queen. And yeah, it's overwhelming, particularly since there's so much time-spread involved and so many different media. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, those look like FUN. Bweee. Thanks for the links! Maybe because I'm just on the fringes as a movie viewer, not much else, I can relax here, unlike some other fandoms I've been a part of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I read the after-movies EU stuff up until Dark Nest, which seemed to promptly cease my interest for a bit. So most of the stuff I have written was originally posted before Episode 3 came out.

My involvement with the fandom was the fanfiction pages on boards.theforce.net in the years between Episode 2 and Episode 3, and generally in a small slice of the fandom even there. I can probably remember what was good and what writers were good.

I had a bit of a following with an Alternate Universe series, but since I never finished the long piece everything else was built around, I may or may not be reposting it.

I'm a tad late for this, but here is your link to your

fandomdirectory entry. If there's something that needs editing, or there's a change in community rules in the future, things like that -- just leave a comment. :)

And by the way, I've never been into Star Wars fandom much, but I really like this Dark Queen AU -- such an interesting twist! (And I really like drabbles. When they're well done, they carry quite a punch, absolutely to the point and showing you the core of events or characters. I think I shall bookmark this.)
