Summary
A routine trip ends in a crash-landing on a planet teeming with dark side energy. The effects reach Anakin, Obi-Wan, Chancellor Palpatine, and Sate Pestage on a soul-shattering level, pulling up in each of them feelings long since buried. Each must find a way to deal with his suppressed trauma before it tears him apart. Between lust, pining, and grief, no one’s getting a good night’s sleep.
But who is the dark side stranger they encounter? And who can trust her? Palpatine–or Obi-Wan Kenobi?

The Midnight Series by FictionGarden
Fandom Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Summary
Is it possible to redeem Palpatine? Yes, it is ... two ways, actually.
This series started out twenty years ago on TFN as the Palpatine redemption story "Midnight in the Garden." Palpatine's appointment as interim senator from Naboo, and the political consultant and campaign manager who's fallen for him and joins hands with him to make his career is called "Architects of the Realm."
Next is "Masters of the Game," in which Palpatine must defend the Senate seat he was appointed to after assassinating Vidar Kim, "What Lies Beneath," and "Murder by Murder," in which Palpatine clears way on the Trade Federation Directorate for his allies. (Of course, some of them end up defying Lord Sidious and he will have all his trouble over again, but that's Cloak of Deception.)
Palpatine must deal with the question that has plagued every Sith Lord since the beginning of the order: Does love exist? And if it doesn't, how does one handle sex and attachment and still remain a Sith?
*I created my Palpatine backstory for "Midnight" years before Luceno was ever hired to write Darth Plagueis. It's actually possible to merge the two. The reason: I have a philosophical bone to pick with Lucas and Luceno.

Summary
[NOTE: THIS WORK IS A PODCAST TRANSCRIPT]
The Fanfic Writers' Craft is a podcast that discusses all things fanfiction with a focus on the art and science of writing for the enjoyment of fan communities. In this first episode, pebblysand and copper-dust sit down to chat about how they come up with new ideas for fanfic, their relationship to plotting and outlines, how they usually try and dig themselves out of plot holes, and the value of getting comments from readers as they go along. They also go on a rather long tangent about a condition pebblysand has, called aphantasia, and how it impacts her writing style.
Hope you enjoy!

Summary
"But if you truly need your pound of flesh, then take it. Take your revenge for Ghorman, for yourself, for whatever misguided altar you worship at this time."
Dedra and Syril return from Ghorman with truth between them at long last. That truth drives them apart, robs Dedra of a purpose she'd clung to desperately for years, and pushes Syril into risks he can't help but take. Justice. Beauty. Order. Truth. For those to be anything but empty words means walking the thin line between sacrifice and selfishness, a line that leads them right into the heart of the war for the future.

The Galactic Empire Reconsidered: Perspectives on the Third Centenary of the Battle of Endor
304 ABYIt is time, and long past time, for a critical reexamination of Palpatine’s rise to power, specifically in regards to some of the most popular and sensationalist beliefs that persist about the Clone Wars and the coup d’etat of 19 BBY. In short, let us ask the following questions: Was Palpatine really a Sith Lord? Were the Clone Wars really the result of a secret Sith plot? Did Darth Sidious, as we must call him, really rule both Republic and Confederacy simultaneously? And what does it mean for our understanding of the Interregnum if none of this is true?
