Here's something a bit odd that I thought I'd share with everyone.

Smoothly written, excellent pacing, and well-edited. Reminds me a bit of Xen's work, but there's a playfullness with the characters and the dialog that is very endearing. Clever idea fleshing out Smithers, and fun.

My only question is, "What the **** is it doing on a Boba Fett fan page?" Maybe we could talk Ms. Kowols into posting it in The Rough and the Smooth where it could garner the appreciation and commentary it deserves.

Annoyingly answering my own question. The great beacon of enlightenment has graced me: Jeremy Bulloch who played Smithers is the same gentlemen that originally played Boba Fett.

Small world. Still a good story.

That is some good writing! I do love the playfulness of it, and I also love it when characters in the shadows get their chance to have the spotlight.

Very interesting Tanger. I was unaware of all of these very intriguing fan fics. Very good dialogue indeed.
