I've read this story once before on another website, and when I came across it again I thought I should review it. I've read a lot of your SW work, and I think this is a really creative story. But at times there were lapses in characterization, mainly in Leia because you made her more like Scarlett O'Hara. For instance, when Leia slaps Prissy (no offence but I could NOT understand why Prissy was blond in this story) and when she whips the horse to death. I don't think Princess Leia would lose her cool enough to do either of these things like Scarlett did. Scarlett was brought up with a pretty cushy life and was not accustomed to war/death. Leia, although probably having a pretty cushy childhood probably got pretty used to war/death. I thought you had forgone the character of Scarlett entirely, but she appeared suddenly in the end, which was a bit strange. I think perhaps it would have been nice if you had Scarlett with Mara and Leia so you could contrast their characters. I think you're a really good writer, but I think if you've changed what we normally accept as Leia's situation in pro-fic (Chief of State, three kids, not knowing who her mother is) you should introduce those ideas to the readers at the beginning of the story. A lot of people don't follow the pro-fic guidelines - myself included - but they always make sure to tell the readers exactly what they've changed. I was a bit thrown when I read that Leia called her latest child Amidala, because she must have KNOWN who her mother was. I was even MORE thrown when Leia was described as a queen. You could have subtly pointed out that Leia knew who her mother was/took her place as Queen of Naboo. There were other things that threw me, as well. For instance, if Leia was the Chief of State at time why wasn't she leading the New Republic through the war? As the LEADER of the New Republic I thought it was a bit strange that she wasn't actively involved in the government at the time of the war. AND that she had left her five-month-old daughter to wander around in squalor. I also think Leia's speech at the end was, well, not that worthy of applause. It's fine and dandy that she apologises, but, well, she did have the opportunity to go back to Coruscant where she could lead the Republic. Details like that were a bit distracting from the over-all story. But, even though this sounds like a negative review, it isn't. I did enjoy this story, and I really appreciate your creativity AND your writing style. I wrote a GWTW/SW crossover a long time ago, and yours is WAY better than mine. All I can say is " Keep writing and keep up the good work!"

::clasp gently::Bravo. I woudl say more, but, I am watching Casablanca ::grins:: Just watched GWTW for the first time, and your fic was very engaging while at the same time staying relatively true to the SW universe. Again, bravo. R. C. C.

Cool story,

I never thought that Star Wars could be crossed with Gone With the Wind!
