Are you going to finish this? It looks like it hasn't been updated in so long! I just found it randomly, and... I like it so much! I really like the way you portray Mara in it, with a side that actually wants to be loved (unlike all the other stories) and I love how Luke is so reluctant... chapter 29 made me want to cry! OMG please finish! :)

One of the best stories I have read around here, and one I have read several times. I love it, and I love your writing!

>"You've now got the upper hand. You know both sides of the triangle."
>Mara arched an eyebrow. "I thought a triangle had three sides."

LOL, that made me laugh out loud :D

Oh boy... It took me an AWFUL long time to read through this and I can only say that there had better be more!! This is a Mara-like threat, I promise!
This is an absolutely beautifully crafted story! I love the plot, the tension, the tension and did I mention the tension? Oh yeah, I love the tension... :)
Please continue this ASAP. I know it's been a while since your last update, but I'm begging you... PLEASE? I don't normally beg. You are a gifted writer and you make me feel as if I'm in the novel universe again. Please feed my craving to see more of this! :)

For those of you wondering where the end of this story is, it is under the title 'The Emerald Price II'. The site would not accept any more under this title as it had become too big. So I had to create another fic. There are another half dozen chapter.

Thank you for all the comments - I appreciate you all taking the time. Ash

great story, keep it up, i cant wait till u finish it

dude, just soes ya nose its been TWO MONTHS! since you last updated and i'm gettin pretty ticked off with ya so hurry up!

Lady Winter CELCHU. I adore that little detail, you know! :)

I have chapter 31 ready to upload but for some reason I'm having problems doing this. The problem is at the fanfiction end not mine. The file is ready and waiting in the document manager but all I get is empty yellow spaces when I should be able to upload the file I placed in the document manager earlier. (Like two weeks ago)If you would like 31 please E-mail and I'll send it on to you personally. ashontatooine1@

I didn't want everyone to think that I had stopped writing it. The other solution join Mara and Luke list.

Fantastic chapter as usual! I can't wait until Mara finds out Luke's there, how will you bring it about? Will it be Mara's turn to save Luke?
Keep writing!

Yeah an update. Now when will the next one be. I love this story. I want to read more. I LOVE it I LOVE IT alot. Please update again soon. I want to know if Mara figures out that Luke IS there.

This chapter shows you know how to write more than just a Luke and Mara fic. You are so good at filling out the story, and don't simply avoid the fact our heroes have to work too. Detail is given when others would simply say "a frustrating meeting" or somthing akin to that. Excellent job - I egearly await the next chapters! Especially this next one during her visit with Altra and Adremetis.

Ash, you sure know how to create a cliffhanger! I've been lurking and reading, and I think this is your best work so far. You've captured the feel of the characters well, and you have taken great pains to create a rich background for the story. Just one note, although my search says that chapter 30 is now up, when I attempt to access it from chapter 29 my browser says the chapter doesn't exist. Keep writing! - Zipporahvulcan

[i]If only Skywalker were here then everything would be much better. It was odd how she could almost feel his presence with her.[/i]
heheh. Mara's really good at that... i wonder will she figure out he's there before the end of the talks. speaking of the talks, they don't seem to be going very well, do they... i liked watching Mara figure out Altra and Feen. Kirana Ti also seems to be gaining much from this expedition, but what about Ix Io? Nothing seems to surprise him, really. Can't wait for the next chapter Ash.

;) paige

good chapter but you must remember the jedi are peace keepers they would not involve themselves in government like that by forcing the prime minister to allow some people entry
