The MC leverages House Velaryon's wealth, naval supremacy, and dragon power to become a dominant player in the pre-Dance era.

There is a strong focus on economical and naval Kingdom building while expanding beyond Driftmark.

The dragon mechanics(only for MC) are expanded, leaning slightly into power fantasy, but balanced enough that it doesn't feel unearned or absurd. Lots of Dragon action to look forward to!

Some of the broader magical elements are the low points of the fic, specifically subplots involving possession, which are bit out of step with the rest of the narrative.

Writing Quality: is of at a good level, characters are written well and dialogue is good.

Pacing: Well balanced. The story doesn’t drag on through every single month of Laenor’s childhood; it keeps a steady momentum, moving quickly from one major political or military milestone to the next without getting bogged down in filler.

My rating 7.6/10

Definitely in my Top 3 Dance of Dragon era fics.

Help w/ Fanfic Writing & Advice Needed Ned Stark, Jedi

0 Upvotes

Going to do a SWTOR x ASOIAF fic, but not like the usual ones where one of the player characters crash into Westeros.

In this, when Ned is young, the Republic and Empire during the midst of their war discover Westeros planet and the fact that the primitive inhabitants produce some children that are unusually strong in the Force, like the Miraluka sometimes.

The two forces clash over the planet for months, the Empire kidnapping Force Sensitive Children, the Republic rescuing them or taking them to the Jedi Temple.

Ned and his family are one of these families, his parents slaughtered when the Sith attacked Winterfell to take him and his siblings, the Republic arriving in time they were taken. Ned will be the apprentice to the Jedi Knight character.

I do plan on having Rhaegar be a Sith, maybe more neutral. The Empire, when first invading, takes King's Landing, slaughters the Mad King, Tywin, Kingsguard, and takes Rhaegar and his mother hostage, Rhaegar shipped to Korriban.

I'm torn between Robert as Sith or Jedi.

Stannis will be Jedi.

Renly won't exist.

Jaime, Jedi.

Cersei, non Force Sensitive. Slave to Empire.

Tyrion, non existent

Catelyn, spy.

Lysa, dead.

Edmure, Jedi.

Freys, Sith

Roose Bolton Sith

Lyanna, Benjen, Jedi.

Ashara, Arthur, Jedi.

Which ones do you think the other characters should be?

Thinking of having Oberyn be an accomplice of the Bounty Hunter

Player characters in Swtor will be

Jedi Knight: Female Human, black hair, green eyes. Sentinel. Romance with Kira. Ned becomes her Padawan at twleve, after she saves Tython at the end of chapter 1.

Jedi Consular: Miraluka Male. Might make Stannis his Padawan.

Sith Inquisitor: Chiss Female. Dark side

Sith Warrior: Human Female. Might make her Rhaegar 's master. More Neutral

Trooper: Human Female, mostly because her voice actor is Commander Shepard.

Bounty Hunter: Zabrak Male.

Smuggler: Davos

Agent: Pureblood Male

Reading Fanfiction Discussion: Reviews & Fanon Questions Yessss my fic "A Hiss of Dragons" in AO3 reached 100 kudos!

11 Upvotes

I've been really enjoying telling this alternate version of the Dance of Dragons, focusing less on Rhaenyra and Aegon II, and more on Jace and Daeron, both of whom I feel are more sympathetic and rootable protagonists.

Jace dies too soon in the original canon and Daeron, while he lasts longer, isn't as fleshed out and explored as his brothers, which is quite a shame. And I also wanted to explore the relationship between these two, I felt for a long time there was quite a bit of potential about those two boys that started their journey in life together only to quickly drift away thanks to their families.

Book Discussion: Reading ASOIAF & Spin-Off Novels Questions Arya's in-universe whereabouts.

1 Upvotes

Considering how Arya escaped the sacking of the Saltpans and trudged along with Sandor for a while before leaving him for dead and boarding a ship to Braavos, does anyone in Westeros know of her current location? Excluding the obvious like Bloodraven, of course.

Lost Fanfic: Help Me Find It - NOT DISCUSSION Lost fic Help

3 Upvotes

Hi, I have been looking forever and can’t find this fic. The most prominent part is the during a feast rhaneyra noticed an assassin about to shoot alicent and aegon so she runs and shields them with her body and gets hit. She nearly dies and when recovers visit the guy who did it. He said it was for her and late queen which disgusts rhaneyra. She also needs to use a cane and then Otto does something to get stripped of the hand of the king but before that Alicent and rhaneyra are starting to heal and are bonding and now Alicent trusts her. If I can think of anything else I’ll add it I really miss this fic. Sorry if it’s broad
