So, I am a huge fan of the Last Of Us franchise to the point where I wanted to create a spin-off set in the same world that Ellie and Joel inhabits. BUT, it is set at the very start of the outbreak. The story for now will switch between the night of the outbreak and 6-8 months later. I don't believe I'm going to write in any of the TLOU characters but to me, such a cool idea to set this novel within that universe. I have a lot of ideas as to where I want the plot to go so hopefully you readers bare with me. Who knows? Maybe Troy, Neil, or Ashley even reads this?

To be read after The Unchronicled Adventures Of Ahsoka Tano, Book Ten as a sequel story. V O D E A N || A U A A T S T O R Y Rex has never been quite the same since Ahsoka died. And no one else has, either -- at least not toward him. Rebel Command treats him as though he's made of glass, stepping warily around him and only assigning him missions far below his level of skill. And without her to breach the gap, he has become something from another era they no longer fully understand. Something... alien. But it's been six months since Malachor, and he has grown tired of having too much time to grieve and not enough distraction to lessen it -- for, as they often said in the GAR, inaction allows old wounds to fester. When new information on a particular incident during the Great Clone War he long thought resolved comes to light, he jumps on the opportunity to strike out on his own and investigate. With the unexpected help of a few old friends with similar objectives that hide shocking secrets, Rex may just be able to get some much needed answers and take the first steps toward redeeming an old wrong. Set against the backdrop of the surprising story behind the Aargonar conflict, Rex will travel from the prison-planet Ayqor to the spice mines of Kessel following a trail of clues laid down almost twenty years ago, in the name of the one thing a clone soldier of the Republic values above all else: brotherhood. Because captain or sergeant, traitor or loyalist, val cuyir su vode an -- they are still brothers all. -:-:-:-:-:- Art credit: composite picture created by me with art by @RinaCane on DeviantArt (Rex in foreground) and the cover art for Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice by Karen Traviss (woman in background).

Highest: #2 in adventure "My second question is what should my name be?" I raised my brows. "What? You don't have one yet?" He chuckled. "Come on, I'm new to this circuit. Just help me pick an identity, Jamie. A name. Maybe something science-y, cool, and cold." He said, tapping his dark blue mask idly. "Oh, and It must begin with C because it would take me ages to find a trustworthy tailor who is also secretly a scientist to fix this suit." "How about Caitlin Snow? She is a biochemist and she can shoot ice out of her hands." I suggested. "And if anyone says she is not cool, I'm willing to fight them on that." "As much as I'd like that." He crosses his arms, smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "She is Killer Frost already and stealing another super's identity is not cool." I threw my hands in the air. "Catelyn Stark of Winterfell?" --- Jamie Devlin's life is about to flip after learning something quite super about herself. She struggled to cope with her life (saving the day, schoolwork,an insufferable friend, and a self-proclaimed super stalker.)

This is about writing, as I think of it. Subjects covered will range from plot aspects to characterization, writing craft to just surviving as a writer. Mainly, Part 1 is a comprehensive list of things to do in order to create and maintain tension.
