Welcome to the WookieeHut

January 24, 2009
 Things are never really as they seem. Can you trust your eyes or your mind? Do you go to an opera for just the sounds or to suspend belief? Is pain always bad or is no pain worse? Do your friends alway have your best interests in mind or are you simply a pet? Of course not ... or maybe! That's what makes things interesting. And even if you think you know what's going on, is it within your control? Could your loved one end up in your arms ... dying? Will you love something or someone despite yourself ... regardless of how they feel? The 'hut brings some tastiness to a cold, wintry northern hemisphere season — a hot sizzling tale (or a half dozen!) and a delicious apple pie. Mmm ... heat up some cider, it'll go with either ... or maybe you'd rather negotiate with other demons?

 Lately, the Wookiee Hut has been given many multi-part stories, which we have been posting a chapter or two at a time. But this time, author Bethany Handcuff gave us a juicy Jedi tale that begged to be posted, complete! So, here it is, Rated R all the way up (or down in the gutter, heh) to X, with FF slash. An early holiday gift, to get us all in the type of mood that the Hut is notorious for, eh? There are 10 parts, so we thought we'd feature just Bethany's work, the better to appreciate it and to feel gratitude for the dirty and the sublime — especially when they occur in the same story!

 How time flies when things are either fun ... or difficult. The collapsing, mercurial economy even hits the 'hut in its ways. We also had some email problems, and apologize to those of you who wrote but didn't get a response. Please re-send your emails — the issues we've had with spammers should have subsided by now. Yes, it's true that we've talked about closing the 'hut, since the contributors and people who maintain the site are all rushing around to keep breathing as the economic turbulences wash over us. So, our apologies for our many delays. The creativity still flows: read and enjoy! We'll do all we can to keep the site up. You can help with submissions, comments, and your enjoyment of the site. That's easy, right?

American Thanksgiving is on its way, let us give thanks for WookieeHut!

August 31, 2009
 Summer is nearly done in the northern hemisphere, and barring a return to a so-called "Indian Summer" where the heat returns for a final reminder, we are looking forward to the cooling weather. The last few weeks have been brutally hot — over 100°F, so humid that rain sometimes doesn't hit the ground, boiling to steam before it hits the ground. For times like this, where the approach of colder weather provides contrast and relief, we can reflect on the cusp of other sorts — in food, in situations, in passions. Yummy!

Whether at the table or with our favorite heros, contrast is a way to learn to enjoy what you have — just as a cooler snap is a relief, and an Indian summer make you grateful for what was oppressive heat prior. Live, love, eat, as a celebrity chef tried to make us say!

 Even though it's been great weather and we've had great weather for our summers here, and we've been grilling and hunting and fishing ... it turns out that we have stories to tell rather than writing out recipes or reviewing eateries. Not that that's a problem, eh? Though we did realize that we'd forgotten to show you a bunch of really great "New Jedi Order" Japanese novel covers. You'll remember they seem to be more literal than us in the western hemisphere, something many of us love. And they do inspire stories!

 Happy spring! And when spring has sprung, things sprout. Sometimes good things. And sometimes not. Like those sprouts on your onions? That's not as bad as it seems, for onion tops (also called spring onions!) are milder and sweeter in flavor. Don't think of it as a ruined onion — instead, think of it as garnish! Or a kick of flavor that makes any dish taste better! Or maybe not ... Maybe it's nasty and makes you wish it wasn't so spicy, or so indigestion-inciting. Or less ... colorful?

Whatever your feelings on the life-cycle of an onion, be sure to pay respect to the veterans of war. In any galaxy, they get the job done and inspire the rest of us! Be nice and make dinner for them as an alternative to the Memorial Day barbeque — try the wondrous chicken recipe in this posting.

 High on the list of things we hate, but which happen and we know they will, but we don't much about it till it's too late: computer crashes. Not just, "oh, it didn't boot up ..." — more like, "time to rebuild everything, you sure you backed up?" Shadow Chaser pointed out that this is like a valued employee giving you two-week notice of termination, but we were so in denial and ignored the signs ... thus, another (real and valid!) excuse for our tardiness. That, and life. Be sure you back up important stuff, and keep your antivirus programs current ... and take 'em out of the shrinkwrap and use 'em.

Other things we hate — having to lie about pleasure. If not lie, be in denial of pleasure. Why do this? The heart and mind and the Force have their reasons, and we believe this "need" to deny the truth is at the core of being human. Don't believe us? Check out the tales in these 'Hut ... or read reviews of novels of the GFFA, if for no other reason than to be inspired to create and read more tales in the 'Hut!

Sometimes nothing goes right, and sometimes it does. At the 'Hut, we assume knowing the bad will help us recognize the good. Or we get to write and read about it all. It makes the bad seem not to horrible, most of the time?

 Somehow, the colder months seem to ignite passions. It's not just coincidence that Valentine's day for lovers is in the cold, dark month — maybe it's perfect counterpoint for firey passions. Even the lack of light helps to conceal loves forbidden yet hotly desired? And don't we love it? Consider the 'Hut to be that most forbidden of delicacy: voyeurism. It's an old tradition, even epitomized by legitimate artforms like the opera ... and our favorite illegitimate artform: the fanfic! And if love between two is just too much, then the love of self is something that you need to make you whole ...

Whether you are toughing it out, desperately seducing your one true love (forcibly, if necessary), or having hot liquid refreshment with a major deity, love is something that'll never go out of fashion. It's part of our nature — and our right — as humans!


February 2, 2009
 It's cold outside, no matter where you are ... or at least, that's how it feels! We've all felt cold inside, to be sure, whether by discovery, betrayal, hate, disappointment, isolation, and even love ... the chills are something to experience, whether inside or out. And remember that it's not always a bad thing to be cold — tall drinks should remain chilled, too, eh? (And sometimes, the colder they are, the less disappointing they can be, or maybe at least they'll taste less bad.)

 Happy New Year, regardless of where you are. Some of us have not even sent out our holiday cards yet, tsk, tsk ... but at least we have a classic 'Hut offering: a selection of excellent tales, a great recipe with story, and a review of a burgery that isn't much good at what it purports to be. A good, classic way to start off a new year, and may it be better than 2008 for all of us! (Given the current economic climate, we may want the Banking Clan to bail us out, but don't give in ... the dark side, that is!)

December 21, 2008
 Apparently, Christmas started as a Winter Solstice pagan celebration, to celebrate the end of the encroaching darkness and the now-lengthening days. Who wouldn't want to celebrate the end of darkness and the coming of the light? Some Jedi would question the increase of light ... now and always. In the 'Hut, of course, darkness comes with ratings, ranging from G to X. You'd best watch out for the dangerous ratings, okay! We're not responsible for freakiness and freak-outs! Remember, that anything above "R" requires special considerations, and don't click on the NC-17 or X links if you're faint of ... well, anything. Because days are not the only things that can lengthen or abbreviate!!

Darkness isn't necessarily a bad thing; other than being the contrast to show light up so profoundly, it's the vehicle for many thoughts and creations on the 'Hut and everywhere.


November 24, 2008
 One man's lusciousness is another's gag-reflex. Or fun has a "certain point of view" aspect to it. Creativity is spawned from anything from an embarassment of riches, to the leanest of situations. And it's irresistable when some people lose their freedom; in a sense, it can set them free when they find themselves imprisoned. This kind of liberating truth can hurt a lot, at least in a galaxy far, far away! And it's true for things like food, too ... for instance, given an oyster's purported reputation for resembling a certain limited body part, is it sensual, or is it horrible? Well worth thinking about, anyway ...

Freedom for it's own sake can be overrated. After all, what good is a story without an enemy, or at least the stricture of some adversity, eh? And it's Thanksgiving in the USA, so ever more a reason to be grateful for your freedoms, and your constraints!

 It's not everyday that serendipity bites you. Sometimes it's obvcious, hitting you like a jolt of salt, or perhaps that you can stop fighting now. Or maybe it's time to start! Sometimes the fighting is just plain dirty. Other times, the situation is simply iresistable. You know the 'Hut can take what looks like a good idea or recipe and twist it up. Or we just let ourselves stumble on new discoveries and situations, and you get the benefits!

 Ah, autumn! Those cooler, crisper days and nights, punctuated by humid hurricane-laden storms. It's all an excuse to get cozy and feel safe from the elements. Though even the tried and true can throw a curveball that sinks so deep you can't even think of hitting it ... erm, it's baseball post-season in North America, sorry ... some of us are a bit obsessed. But not so obsessed as to not keep collecting and reading and enjoying the bounty of a Wookiee Hut harvest! And that's true in any season.

 Some of us were just hanging out at our local bookstore, and to our delight, there were Star Wars novels there that we wanted to read! In fact, we'd been waiting to read them, but hadn't realized they were out. They glittered at us like jewels from the overcrowded bookshelves. And because we hadn't expected them, it feels like a sort of serendipity. Which, of course, is how we often feel at the 'hut when we get stories and recipes and and and ... We're so grateful and happy for all the tales which come tumbling in. They're all wonderful and remind us of the days before we knew everything about the Skywalker family and eked out wonderful tales from the Rogue Squadron comics. Heck, don't miss 'em, check out these glittering jewels:

 A tidbit of information for those weathering hurricane season in the American southeast: all hurricanes are born in the African Sahara. So the next time you wonder what the growth of the Sahara Desert has to do with you or anyone you know or care about ... well, now you know. The more windstorms in the Sahara, the more potential hurricanes and tropical storms. Which kind of goes to show that chaos theory really does kind of work (you remember, the butterfly flapping its wings in Beijing thing ... did that cause the olympics??)

The Hut's proof that humans enjoy this; they LIKE that small things have rippling effects, whether effecting things through distance or time, and sometimes both.

 Ah, if not for mystery, would there be storytelling? Or even depictions in paint and ink, if not for our imaginations? Posting stuff on the 'Hut answer some of the mysterious questions, and opens yet others. Sometimes the characters in our heads look like the characters on the screen, other times they behave in ways they were never described. (Though we do admit to a certain deliciousness when we see "in the flesh" what had only been previously stuck in our brains, like the X-Wing icon for this posting!)

 We thought the photo of this actress we're using for this week's icon looked like what we could expect Princess Isplourrdacartha Estillo of Eiattu VI to look like when her blood was moderately fired up.

 Time is a funny and very different substance from what we'd like to think it is ... It's the matrix upon which we all must ride, and we have to follow its rules: one way only, and it's constant. We can only perceive that it stretches or shrinks, but that has to do with our wishful thinking and imperfect brains. It also heals wounds and makes us forget stuff, whether good or bad (unless you're Winter Reltac, of course). And no matter what loopholes you find in time, you'll find yourself discovering that time is like the laws of thermodynamics: you can't win, you can't break even, and time will always be time.

 Deep in it's evil, jaded heart, the 'Hut is a raucous, dirty, confusing place to learn and grow, and we like it like that! Even if growing up means we have more responsibilities in life, returning to a first love is satisfying, if not bittersweet at times ... to get stories and reviews and other content to you more regularly, let's try listing them differently:

 Admit it, hearing the rhythmic "dun ... datuhduntun ... dun ... datuhduntun ..." reminds you of Han Solo, playing an earthling archeologist. And we're so looking forward to the upcoming, long awaited Indy4! We also enjoyed reading "Invincible," featuring the "Sword of the Jedi." But it's not all about the Solos or their earthly counterparts. We're still in love with our pilots! How much in love? To old age and death and beyond, duh! Gillian F. Taylor writes suprising — and peaceful — death for our favorite commanding pilot called, Once, He Danced. It's what we'd wish for anyone we loved, and it's a classic Rated PG. In contrast, the Hut is challenged by a WAAS-generated CorSex dare — Annallisa smacks us with her Rated NC-17 gauntlet with her opening salvo, The CorSex Chronicles: Tycho. And remember the original pilot, the guy who didn't get the original girl (Han did instead, of course!). But he did get no less of a high-maintenance girl in Mara Jade, and she comes with a high price. Why does he do it? Because, is all, says Kidan ... it's simply Where You Belong, and it's a classic Rated PG in Stories & Things, all quality "GFFA Fanfic"! But we do get back to Han Solo / Indiana Jones; they're the same guy, after all. They both might be found in a big-city cantina called Hallo Berlin, which is named for one city and located in another. It's a "Noshery Report" in Hut Cuisine, without the goosestepping, other than in your imagination, of course. And if you remember the zeppelin ride, you can imagine the "elegance of travel," and how one can get tossed out for having "No ticket!" Best to make sure you have your ticket, but is this scene New or Old? GFFA or Indy-time? It's a very classic scene, in a variety of worlds. And while you are figuring out where and when, see you at the theater this Wednesday!

 You know the saying: you can pick your friends, but not your family? Or, that friends are the family we can choose?. It's true, especially when you wish someone wasn't your family. Iella writes brilliant tales of the Solo boys. This one begs, Die, Jacen Solo, Die! In her world, he does, in a variety of creative and satisfying ways! This time, The Family Tree is not about a murder, not really. You'll enjoy it, just like you'll enjoy Kidan's alternative universe tales along the same topic lines. This one is like a romantic dance, and has the requisite romantic title: A Final Kiss might make you wonder about the decisions we make out of love. Even if you don't really know why you do things, it's then a requirement to follow your gut. Even outside the good ship Jade's Scion, the Force affects Kidan's young Jedi: Sannah and Jysella both find the Force talking to them in ways familiar and confusing. Featured in "GFFA Fanfic," within Stories & Things, they're the latest Rated PG additions to our library of good reading. Of course, you know that at the 'Hut, we also enjoy good reading, and Hut Cuisine showcases "Recipes" paired with stories, as well as "Noshery Reviews" for those of us who prefer to go out now and again. That doesn't mean we're always flush with cash, of course. A great Italian-style sandwich — either hot or cold — can be had at the inaccurately named Park Italian Gourmet. The shop is just about a hole-in-the-wall, so take your lunch in nice weather to the pocket or city parks for a picnic. Of course, you can also get quality fare in venues without a brick-and-mortar location. Don't let silly names like Kwik Meal & Kwik Gourmet or Mister Softee deter you from trying them out. In fact, with the weather getting nicer up around here, the lines around the street carts can get longer. And sometimes, the weather changes suddenly, a hallmark of spring-time. Get something warming in you then, or at least make it for others you care for. Booster can enjoy the effects of Corellirish Coffee, even if he can no longer imbibe. This version is actually based on a recipe served at a pub in San Francisco — we'll be sure to write more travelogues. What better way to remember trips with friends who are family? Stay tuned!

 We're really really late for Valentine's Day! And Easter ... and ... But really, the Hut is full of love and hope stories — which we hope have inspired your love lives — as well as the "other end" of love. Relationships with others always leave a mark. We're not talking when love simply fades; in a sense, it never goes away, but it warps and mutates. Perhaps that was the point with the Force: when you have love, you also have hate. Kidan delves into the depth of hate following love in The Gallows which also investigates some masked aspects of the Force, too. In Jade's Scion, Valin discovers that manipulating the Force doesn't always end up as you'd expect. Then again, the Horns have hardly proven to be smooth operators when it comes to matters of love or hate. In contrast, some people just have to be accepting of themselves, and their heart's desires will come to them. Perhaps this couple is unexpected, but they'd been alluded to in their canon depictions, but maybe a Rated R with spice is more "real" for some of us? Diana may know a thing or two about how love is manifested only if you Set Her Free, based on the Harry Potter universe — a way to keep the story throbbing and alive! Iella's ongoing Many Happy Returns is still fresh, almost visceral! And viscera ia always important in wondrous tales of classic-style skirmishes and lightsabre battles!!! So we know you'll love Iella's next two chapters: Chapter 43 and Chapter 44. You'll still be on the edge of your seat, maybe even lightly cursing that the 'Hut has not posted these Stories & Thingssooner! Yeah, well ... nothing to say about that except we'd suffered many crises in resources — time, talent, treasure. We've had our embarassment of riches in the past, and are still blessed with angry and disappointed fans who wonder WTF ...? We're sorry. Thus all the yummy stories, and we hope to continue to post and inspire. Other inspirations include excellent food and challenging food — sometimes they can be the same things. Chris Cosentino's Incanto is a bit of an enigma. It's old-fashioned use-of-all-parts-of-the-animal-and-plant style of fare. But given that this is America, it's scary to encounter a pile o' chopped heart and veggies! Yes, adventure is more than just imagination, and romance is more than a steak. And if you think the 'Hut looks different ... we are trying a few new things to make posting less of an endurance thing (as it can sometimes be, as pleasurable as the efforts are at other times). Thank you for hanging with us, and please continue to contact us — it keeps us going on and happy to do what we do! (Serious!)

Pull up a chair, stay a while, and please excuse the mess. Of course, this is a Hut, and is bound to be a bit messy, but we like it that way! While you're here, please check out our LATEST posting(s), above ↑

Browse around! We post everything from Star Wars stories (YAY! CHEER!) to fiction written by children. We at WookieeHut know that there are many children who are much more mature than some adults we know (us included!), so we ask all — adults or children — to use discretion when reading some of this material. Ratings will be posted at the link of each story. Please read them and use your own good judgement. WookieeHut is not a babysitter, and we firmly believe people are generally not dumb.

SO GO TO IT! And if you like what you see (or even if you don't), send some of your stuff in, okay?? You'll feel better, we promise ...
