Hi

It's been brought to my attention that there are people out there who are sadly plagiarising my work again.

This is not okay.

To clarify, while I'm very happy for people to take inspiration from my stories (in the same way you might any book you read from a bookshop), I don't want my work reposted and certainly not without credit.

I'm not going to go into lengths on why it is wrong to plagiarise someone else's writing. I don't think my tumblr post is magically going to change anyone's mind, especially as if you've followed me long enough you know we've done this rodeo before.

So.

2. How to tell when writing is plagiarised

It can be very difficult to tell when something is plagiarised, especially if we have never come across the original work before and have no reason to recognise it.

I don't think it's realistic for everyone to vet everything they come across online for plagiarism, but it's also something I don't see talked about a lot for fiction.

These questions to ask yourself are not foolproof and not applicable to everything. But I think they can be a start.

If the writer has posted more than one story, is there a similarity across them? While writing style can change across an author's different pieces, there is still usually going to be a similar feel across stories if they came from the same person. Writers have voices and quirks and little things that are specific to them. If every piece feels wildly different then it might be coming from different places. This is probably going to come down to gut reaction and instinct in the first instance. But that's okay. Because that gut reaction is just there to make you think twice and maybe investigate more thoroughly.

How much are they posting? Can people churn an extraordinary amount of words out? Yes, sometimes. But...as a general ballpark, no. Writing takes time and effort. If someone is coming out with enormous amounts of writing every day or week or month or whatever, then this can be a hint to look a little closer.

Do you ever see hints of their writing process? Can the writer talk about their characters or what they want out of the story or anything like that? Do they ever post a story organically in response to a request or whatever? Not all writers know in-depth everything about their story or characters or plot, but the main point here is that the finished product is the tip of the iceberg. If someone is a writer than there is more going on beneath the surface of the posted stories.

I hope this helps!

Most likely Chiss do not age as Humans do (as he doesn’t seem to age much / at all). Perhaps they live longer? Or their age doesn’t show the way our’s does? Or the Chiss measure time differently? In the end, nobody really knows how old Thrawn is. I’m not saying this here is correct. It’s only a try. None of the pictures belong to me - it’s all owned by Disney and I’m not making money with this.

PS: I updated this after reading “Chaos Rising”. On p. 27 Cheri said she was thirteen when she met Thrawn for the first time (that was when he entered the Academy as a Cadet). On p. 37 she said that that encounter had been two decades ago. That makes her 33 in 20 BBY (“Chaos Rising” takes please at the same time as “Alliances”), which also means that Thrawn should be around 40 in 20 BBY. We don’t know for sure how old he was when he entered the Academy, but he was definitely a lot more mature than she was and she considered him a “grown-up” (cf. p. 28). And on p. 298 it is also said that “Skywalker sounded a lot younger than Thrawn.”

His age might shock many people (especially when you look at the pictures), but then again having a 20-something year old commanding a fleet would be equally shocking. ;)

Thrawn-related Wookieepedia pages need editing. Anyone up for that?

+++++

I think I’ve found my new trashship - There was something going on between these two:

Tarkin and Pryce.

He even invited her to Eriadu! And the one year or so when she stationed on Coruscant? Yeah, definitely. And I guess the rumor mills ran like crazy too - I heard in the old canon they all thought Dalaa slept with Tarkin bc the latter helped her in her ascent to power. Since new canon has a habit of molding several old characters into a new one, I think Pryce’s not totally original too…

                Old Canon                New Canon

   Parck + Car’das + Pellaeon = Eli Vanto

             Thrawn + Karrde = Thrawn

Per a convo with @laszlovarient, I did a manip of Michael Easton to look like our dear Professor Sharp

[eilistriel]

Started a collection of screenshots showing random students talking about Professor Sharp!

These are simply amazing, and afaik, unused in game. I am living. So well fed.

“And how do you plan to deal with this delay, Lord Vader?”

tbh I really don’t know how to headcanon obi-wan’s position in the empire if he was a sith. He would have more power over Vader (not necessarily by rank), that’s for sure.

Get rekt, Anakin!
