The other project I'm working on is the first novel up in the Rescue the Farmboy series. It has reached editing status and I'm almost ready to send it off to my beta reader. I was inspired by a comment on one of Tor.com's Star Wars articles that wanted a fanfic in which Luke actually made it to the Imperial Academy and what kind of hell broke loose then. Then I found the title in the observation that Luke is always getting rescued. And the idea kept going until I have to rewrite the original trilogy.

Now I had shared this scene before on Tumblr but as I pulled it out for Dreamwidth, I realized that my edits had changed things. So you're getting the first glimpse of the new material. To set the scene, Luke has already seen the Academy plans end with detainment and a death sentence, but is going with his hunch that Darth Vader won't kill him and offers to give himself up so Biggs can take Princess Leia down to Tatooine to meet old Ben when the Devastator catches up with Tantive IV.
