I'm currently working on the next chapter and outline for Promises...but I have to do a bit of research first. I'm not the greatest at understanding politics or war strategies, and I certainly don't understand much about High Command...something that will become a very important part of the story in Promises...but I'm working on it.
Honestly, High Command is a pretty complicated thing, and since we don't know everyone who was on it, it's even worse. It's good for me kind of, because I can create characters that I will use to follow what my storyline will be, but at the same time it's frustrating because those that we do know of I want to keep as close to their characteristics as possible. I'm really putting a lot of time into getting characteristics right this time, because I personally feel I fell a bit short in "40 Days." Granted, this is largely because I had 40 days of things to write and it gets a little worn by the end, but this time I have a whole new set of characters, and I really want to get their backgrounds and characteristics correct so I can match things up.
Of course, I'm not going to be following the storyline of what really happened in between Bespin and the rescue of Han...since then it wouldn't really be fanfiction anymore...but the characters are important to me. Plus, I know some of you would really like to see things like battle and sabacc and technical things I generally left out in the previous story. It will take longer, but in the end it will create for a better storyline.
Now I just have to figure out how I'm suppose to alternate between Leia and Lando/Chewie...and what Lando and Chewie are going to be getting into!
