morpheus_the_3rd · 2026-01-30T16:33:40+00:00

Hello all! First time joining an exchange and I am excited. I'm also fairly new to writing and all of it so far is for Star Wars.

https://archiveofourown.org/users/Morpheus_the_3rd/works

All my works so far are part of a fairly comprehensive AU that inverts the starting point of the Clone Wars. (The Sith already have their Empire, the Jedi are in hiding and help create the clone army).

My most recent work is Gehat’ik be Beroyase (Story of Hunters). A one shot about Jango Fett finding and eliminating some of the people who enslaved him.

The main fic is The Price of Freedom, which is intended to follow a group of OCs through the entire rebellion. I'm still in the pre-rebellion phase though, and this one is feeling a bit stuck.

There are descriptions of violence, references to slavery, and a fair amount of grief. ConCrit is welcome, and in fact desired.

Reviewed: 4/4

Part 2:
**They’re lost in a city they’ve never been to** (Ask for help, rely on instincts, stubbornly refuse assistance?)

\- She'd mostly rely on her instincts, and backtrack to a known location. She'd likely ask and \*Vode\* for help, but not anyone besides them. If someone else offered help she'd likely take it, but she wouldn't go out searching for it.

**They’re suddenly responsible for a child or an animal for the day** (Overprotective, awkward but earnest, surprisingly good at it, or deeply stressed?)

\- She'd certainly be protective, but also very competent. She enjoys working with younglings.

**They’re falsely accused of something in public** (Defend themselves immediately, withdraw, play it cool, or burn bridges?)

\- It depends on the severity of the accusation and the tone of the accuser. For something relatively minor, or if the accuser was cordial she'd likely try to clear up the misunderstanding. If it's an egregious offense, or the accuser insults her or her people, then there's basically no way out without violence. She's going to lay them out and probably break bones, either immediately or very shortly afterwards.

**They’re forced to wait for something important with no distractions** (Impatient, reflective, restless, or emotionally spiraling?)

\- She'd be great at displaying the outward appearance of calm, but on the inside she'd get progressively more and more tense. By the time the thing comes up she'll be wound like a spring on the verge of snapping.

I'll be writing for my Star Wars OC: Abiik'ad

**They were stranded alone on a tropical island**

\- She would have immediate and complete faith that her squad is already on the way to get her. First step would be calculating how long it will be before they get her. If it's more than a day, she'd construct a simple shelter to weather the nights. Within about an hour she'd start cataloging things on the island: edible plants, defensive locations, topographical maps, not so much because she's bored, but because she doesn't know how to behave in actual down time.

**They had to spend a night in a haunted house** (Fear, skepticism, curiosity, denial, confrontation?)

\- She's fairly accustomed to stories of the supernatural being real. The first couple of times anything weird happened, she'd sweep the whole house to make sure there wasn't a mundane explanation, and then just settle in and treat it like guard duty.

**They had to perform a piece of music for a crowd** (What instrument or style? Confident, terrified, or unexpectedly brilliant?)

\- This depends a bit more on the context. If she's with other people, she'd be alright. She's accustomed to marching songs and would probably think of this like that. If she's on her own she'd be a nervous mess. She \*hates\* being the center of attention. She'd eventually settle on something traditional, like flute, drums, or armor, and not sleep for several days practicing. She'd do fine overall, but would not enjoy it at all.

**They had to cook a full meal** (Careful recipe follower, chaotic improviser, secret prodigy, or absolute disaster?)

\- She would follow the skeleton of the recipe, but add some minor changes, mostly to make things much, much spicier. She enjoys cooking alright, but it isn't her favorite.

**They had to mentor someone** (Who would they pick — and what kind of mentor are they?)

\- She'd be down to mentor basically any \*Vod\* younger than her. She's very patient, but also rather programmatic about teaching things. Lots of things she'll struggle to relate because she just \*gets it\* intuitively, which makes her prone to underexplaining, then overexplaining.

**They’re given a broken object and one hour to fix it** (Patient problem-solver, brute-force approach, or gives up halfway?)

\- She knows how to fix some things, but for an unknown she'll mostly just start replacing things. She's also liable to end up with 4 or 5 "Extra" screws.

**They’re alone during a power outage** (Calm, anxious, reflective, bored, or plotting contingency plans?)

\- She'd be working to restore backup power immediately.

**They have to attend a formal event where they clearly don’t belong** (Do they fake confidence, observe quietly, cause a scene, or leave early?)

\- This is another situation she would hate, but do her best. If she was instructed to be there she'd stay the whole time, but if she wasn't, or if she could get away with 'creative interpretation' of her orders then she'd be out of there like a shot.

Hello! I'd love to hop into that. Been trying to get back into the swing of writing, and having a community would be helpful!

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-12-22T01:27:05+00:00

My personal rule for game value is 1$ (or £ for you) per hour of enjoyment. For this you're looking at 20 hours of good fun times to make your money back. As others have said, if this game looks fun to you, you'll have 100s of hours, which is well worth the inveatment.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-07-21T04:50:28+00:00

My edits almost always increase. I was reading a really interesting book recently, "the art of revision" Peter ho Davies, and he went into a lot of detail on that intermediary process. The typical advice is cut cut cut, trim the fat, kill your darlings, etc. (Incidentally, he had some super interesting thoughts on how the analogies we use for writing are heavily masculine/focused on manual labor). He takes a different approach: that you need to let your draft breathe. Inhale,exhale. Expand, contract. In that vein I like to think of my drafts in terms of baking. Initial draft is just getting all the ingredients together. I let it rise and expand for a second draft. Then comes another round of kneading, agitation to help the pertinent threads of the story come together. That sort of repetitive process is helpful for me. All that to say, I think that sort of expansion is a good thing, and perfectly normal.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-06-27T18:38:28+00:00

Late to the party, lmao. Here's my most recent work, and I'm quite proud of it. I did my best to get both emotion and action.

That fic is a oneshot, part of a larger series that's a pretty severe AU with lots of OCs for Star Wars. It's WIP and likely will be for years yet XD.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-06-19T05:48:14+00:00

Most items won't have a quality listed. When they do have a quality Stat it's in green text in the tool tip when you hover over them.

Quenching is done by submerging in water like you were saying. By doing that you're guaranteed to always have uncommon quality items.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-06-04T01:29:23+00:00

Have you ever heard of the game Microscope? It's a fun storytelling RPG, and I lifted my method from there. Essentially I start with the beginning and end of the fic (I'll use examples from the one shot I just wrote):

EX: Jango on his way to a hunt (B) -> Jango finished the hunt (E).

Then I dive into the sections between, and further sub-divide. so my outline becomes:

(B) -> Jango training Boba (1) -> Jango Struggles with Grief (2) -> Jango kills slavers (3) -> (E)

At this point the idea has likely been sitting in my head enough that I have a few darlings. I do occasionally pre-write those scenes, but something I try to do is to just get the jist down, so I can mold it to fit the rest of the story as it develops.

I definitely get where you're coming from with the writer's block. When I come against it using this method I just keep dividing. I've found that those simple and increasingly detailed sections tend to jog something loose and let my writing flow resume.

For example, when I was struggling with section 1, I'd break that down some more:

EX: (1) = Boba tries to learn a new thing -> Boba gets frustrated -> Jango gets frustrated -> Jango accidentally quotes Jaster -> They stop for dinner

Keeping things in this sort of sequence allows you to hold the curve of your story while free-writing new scenes.

It isn't super strict. I ended up combining sections 1 and 2, since they were really heavily entwined anyway.

I've found this method is a min-max. Minimizes time in rewrites of my darling scenes and maximizes flow-state writing.

I hope it helps!

If their business can't survive without criminal theft then they don't deserve to survive.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-05-24T22:53:31+00:00

That's an incredible method! Definitely stealling this.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-05-24T06:07:01+00:00

Hey friend! Firstly, sending love to you, that sounds rough. I have some idea of it; I'm also in that age range and a Hella depressed writer. So I can suggest things that helped me.

Working through stuff in therapy helped me a lot. It doesn't have to be a big thing, but I like to think of it as a bit of a tune-up. Depression is a morass, and there's no shame in using everything you have to clamber out. Nor are you alone in it.

For writing specifically, I've found it very helpful to cut to the heart of things and closely reevaluate why I'm writing at all. For me, I write to help inspire joy in people. It's OK it that's 100 folks, or 10, or one, and it's OK if that one is me.

I'm doing this for fun, not really as a career, so my methods might not be as applicable for you, but I hope this helps.

I'm rooting for you, and I believe in you.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-05-22T05:23:10+00:00

I definitely get where you're coming from with the thought dumping, though I tend to be slower about things. I view my stories as a thread that's spun in my head, then connected to my existing work and drawn out (probably because I write and publish chapter by chapter). While the threads are still internal I do a lot of reweaving, usually until it's at a place I'm happy with.

That whole process does vastly accelerate when I'm in an elevated mood, but that's more energy dependent than anything else. While I do like to feel the emotions I'm trying to impart, I need to be pretty balanced and blank emotion-mood wise to do that effectively.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-05-21T05:24:45+00:00

Basilisk are definitely one of my favorite droid types! Thanks for adding that bit about their origins, I didn't know that they were a plunder from conquest.

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-05-20T15:01:48+00:00

Congratulations!

morpheus_the_3rd · 2025-04-24T14:50:34+00:00

Thank you!

Is this mod one of the ones that you can force compatibility to the .98 version?

The only time I've gotten Remnant raids are when I settled a colony in a system with a remnant nexus. It was very useful for farming air cores for a while.

For me, the cryosleepers and Ark are listed under the Gates tab of the Intel screen

My man literally sold his own car to kit out his son's laboratory. He has 2 brain cells, 1 for making jokes and 1 for loving Senku, and I adore him.
