I know, I know, I'm a day early, but what with the impending pre-Worldcon frenzy, I figured better early than really late.
This is another Sith Academy goodie.
Title: Darth Maul Mows the Lawn

Reasons for recommending: Plaidder is a master of frustration humor. I challenge you to look at garden gnomes the same way again! Plus she seems to instinctively grok the fascination men have with power tools.
Quote from the story:
"Tomorrow I must travel to Coruscant for an emergency meeting," Sidious continued. "After that, the Sith Junior League is coming over for drinks on the patio. I fear that the time I have been devoting to your education has led me to neglect the state of my grounds. Therefore tomorrow morning, you will mow my lawn."
Darth Maul watched speechless as his master handed him a scrap of paper with an address written down on it. "The tools are in the shed. I will return at noon."
"Master," said Maul.
"Yes, my apprentice?"
"I question the pedagogical value of this exercise, my master."
Darth Sidious turned on him. "I find your lack of faith...disturbing."
Memo to Darth Maul, he thought to himself as his windpipe began closing. Never question the pedagogical value of an exercise.

I hope to see folks in Boston! I may wear the SLKA shirt one of the days, which should make me fairly easy to spot.
