Lemon's "class" is undefined. He specializes in blaster rifles, so I figured he was more of an Agent type. In all seriousness, Lemon is exactly what Corso Riggs is to the Smuggler in terms of the game, much like how Twilight is Rainbow Dash's Aric Jorgan. Twilight and Lemon both play the role of Companion Characters. The only reason I give Lemon and extra attention is because his backstory and Pinkie's are not only shrouded in mystery, but also intertwined. If they hadn't been partners before The Ord Mantell Deception, I would not have given them the 15,000 words they got.

I'm writing as fast as I can! Finals are driving me up a wall, and of course, my previous mishap with EqD put me in a slump for a time.

Thank you. I'm trying to get the rest of my other story done, because I wanna build off this. My break is kinda enticing me to play nothing but League of Legends.

This brings a wide grin to my face.

I wish I could say something more constructive but yes, that's all I can properly think of typing. I am loving how this story is progressing!

I decided to reread this story again and I am glad I did.

Pinkie and Lemon are both so vulnerable and it is so classic that every time they try to clean up and end things (or start things) the world conspires against them (such as in the end when they are going to go on their first date and of course a jedi stops them). This is so classic Star Wars especially those of Han Solos ilk (which are my favorite types in Star wars Jedi get all the press but the smugglers/bounty hunters/etc are the best).

I know your first story was turned down for being "unoriginal" or some other silly reason like that (as if that site does not have cross overs all the time?) but this I assume is 100% original (outside of the Star Wars theme) and I think this is the sort of story that deserved the accolades. Your other stories were fun and interesting but this one is special. This story is all about characters and you did a great job of making them come alive in this story. Pinkie is playful but also romantic in her own way. Lemon is conflicted and has to make a hard choice. Both are very vulnerable characters and you can't help but cheer and root for them. You have them down to where I could see a series where part of the fun is hoping to see them get together sort of like Buffy?angle or the show Bones for instance.

In particular I like how you made me like a Pinkie pairing with an OC which is normally very hard to do. Lemon is portrayed just right as an OC and he has enough personality that I feel like I know his character and you see him for only two stories. They feel like a good couple and you want to see them succeed.

I really do hope you continue your series, specifically the one with Pinkie and Lemon. I have a feeling the idea would be to cross over some of the jedi with it (perhaps Rarity and AJ?) and if you do I hope you take a lot of care keeping the non-jedi interesting. In other words don't pull an episode 1/2/3 and rather go for more of an episode 4/5/6 feel towards the characters at least that is how I feel.

I love comments like this

I do plan to continue it, but I've taken a bit of a break from MLOR since I can't get it up on EqD, so the viewership isn't as high. But thank you for your words of kindness.

Will you be making more my little old republic? You know cause it's very very interesting and great at the same time just a question though
