Recs and Reviews

I was lucky to have caught this serial when it was first being posted to the Master Apprentice mailing list. Well, besides the agonizing waits between posts. ^_^;; Still very much a Work-In-Progess (currently on hold at part 90). The style of the writing and the serial format make it so that once you read, you won't be able to stop. It's also extremely /fun/ reading it, despite its sometimes angsty themes. Well mix of humor, I say. Summary: "A haughty prince finds that self-sufficiency is overrated. The sweeping saga of an arrogant prince and his monkish bodyguard."[1]

T.O.T.O.

Go read Tales of Two. At 90 parts it's unfinished, and it's not exactly a slave AU, but it's better than any AU I'll ever write. I don't want to be Lilith Sedai when I grow up. I want other people to be Lilith Sedai when they grow up so I'll have more things to read.[2]

The Tales of Two by Pumpkin and Lilith Sedai, two highly-prolific and recommended authors, blows the mind with its tale of Obi-Wan, severely ascetic and monkish, being sent to bodyguard Prince Qui-Gon, a wastrel learning how to be Kingly. The authors' notes tell of the ambition for the story to be excitingly serial-like, with cliffhangers and lots of action. All the action is well-described, with horses' hoofs pounding and many duels. This is the setting that is most Earth-like, sort of late medieval, complete with castles and ducal fealties in question. Qui-Gon's sexually voracious and spoiled, Obi-Wan is earnest in the best, most-repressed fashion one can think of. WIP, lengthiest of all these, sends the reader far into the AR.[3]
