I finished reading Imperial Commando: 501st tonight and, call me crazy but there are lots of things in there I recognized in my own work.

Maybe I wouldn't go as far as believing they also read fan fiction or there really aren't that many ways you can write a bad ass Mandalorian tale.

That makes sense. I thought she said somewhere that she wouldn't read fanfiction for that reason, but I guess that doesn't stop other people. Badass Mandos must have bandannas. To match their skirts Kamas.

Totally off topic, but your dog is the cutest thing ever. I love Akitas.
