Pilot's Lounge
Hello, pilots! This week we will consider the elements of fictional writing:
Introduction: Where you introduce your characters.
i.e. Imperial Pilot #1: I'm an Imperial Pilot.
Imperial Pilot #2: Really? So am I!
Rising Action: When tension and conflict arise.
i.e. The Rebels: We just may have to destroy you.
Imperial Pilots: Goodness, not that.
Climax: The height of tension.
i.e. The Rebels: Chaaarge!
Imperial Pilots: Chaaarge!
Falling Action: The tension calms down.
i.e. The Rebels: Run away, run away!
Imperial Pilots: Victory!
Conclusion: Tying up the story.
i.e. Ronin: Medals for all...!
Letters from the Cardinal...
How to be an Imperial Warlord:
1. Stay hidden and mysterious at the height of the Empire, and then suddenly crop up after Endor.
2. Ally with the other Warlords? Never!
3. You need some sort of superweapon which threatens to destroy the New Republic. The Republic is always suffering some sort of internal turmoil because it is dumb.
4. After destroying a number of ships and planets with the superweapon, the Republic realizes there may be something wrong. At this point, though, they're more concerned about internal politics because they're - that's right - dumb.
5. Your operations are hindered by (pick one or more): Pirates, smugglers, goofy aliens or some indepedent organization that eventually joins up with the Republic.
6. After the above groups escape your grasp, some bozo gets knocked off for letting them escape. You decide to continue attacking the Republic.
7. Your latest attacks have made the Republic realize that they need to stop with their internal bickering until they can defeat you. Luke What's-his-face and Con Man Solo mount some sort of mission to strike at some secret base that is the source of your power.
8. Unaware of the above, you continue on your rampage through the Republic. The people that are causing internal problems in the Republic suddenly go away.
9. You make an attack which you expect will cripple the New Republic. Unfortunately Luke What's-his-face destroys your source of power, and the Rebel fleets suddenly aren't easily swept away. You die ingloriously. Darn, it was fun while it lasted.
10. If your story sells well enough, you also had a clone of yourself in waiting, which will rise to power and also be defeated by some lucky "heroes".

It's been a busy week in Flagland with all of the medals getting re-recommended.
Hopefully they'll all be approved soon.
I'm handling Combat Operations Office awarding for now, and I have put in a number of LoCs and DFCs, especially from the ASF.
