I've been an active Star Wars fan since 1981. While I've enjoyed little bits of other fandoms like Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, I've rarely written anything other than Star Wars, and my main focus will always be Han/Leia. They're the only reason I began writing in the first place and for some reason they remain my obsession. Go figure.

Oh, and it's a fanfiction sin to read and not leave feedback! We're not making money here, folks! Authors live to hear feedback. If you like it, tell me why. If you don't like it, tell my why. Just say something!

Because people have asked, here's a timeline for the Kismet series:

(NOTE: All the above have been updated and tweaked for publishing in the upcoming fanzine mentioned below. They will eventually be updated here as well when I have the time.)

(ADDITIONAL NOTE: While writing Just Rewards and reworking the rest of this series for the print zine, I've reached the conclusion to change an OC character's name to something less "Earthy." However, until I can get around to updating everything on this website, there will be conflict. Kristin Aldritch = Keris Aldric. Sorry for any confusion.)

Everything else here can be considered stand-alones, or were at one time part of the greater story arc but became obsolete because of how the story morphed over the years. For instance, when I wrote Arms Race, I still hadn't made up my mind on what happened on the way to Bespin. Now it doesn't quite mesh with the rest. Them's the hazzards of writing out of sequence!

All artwork that appears here with my stories was created by Liz, Leela Starsky, and Wanda Lybarger. Most pieces were drawn specifically for these pieces; however, a couple of Liz's works were not attached to anything specific when she submitted them to me for use within my fanzines but they complimented stories I had on hand. The piece by Liz that accompanies "Diary of a Wandering Princess" was one of them then ended up inspiring the story itself.

UPDATE: After much consideration, I have decided to produce a new Star Wars printed fanzine. It will be a stand-alone collection of my Kismet series (all stories updated and rewritten for storyline and style consistency), including some new material. Everything will be accompanied by lots of artwork and illustrations, both new and old, from some of the best artists Star Wars fandom has known.

UPDATE 11/6/2017: You Could Use a Good Kiss #3: This Time It's Personal First Edition, 390 pages with laminated color covers and color inserts, is still available! Send email inquiries to useakiss@
