Well guys, as I mentioned in another thread, I've written this short story that makes fun of special effects and George Lucas. I didn't proofread/refine it all that much, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it anyways.

The allure of Special Effects

(P.S. the guy in the tag is me. It's more than a year old and it needs replacing, but I won't get the picture until after Summer's out.)

Ah, very nice work, Paladin. Yes, this is how George Lucas started down the dark path.... it's all coming back to me now. I can still remember the mad gleam in his eye when he saw the crowd's reaction to what had happened.

Also, I love the way you introduced all our characters.

To everyone else, have a look at this. Paladin has done a lot of work on this. It's a very original take on what may be the cause of all the madness that's destroying Star Wars.

If you want an explaination behind the whole 'Chefelf' thing, just ask. There is a story behind it.

[Just your average movie goer]

Hmm... I am curious, now that you've brought it up...

[Paladin]

Well then! Here's the story.

Most Elves in RPG's usually have some kind of wacky backstory behind their creation. Take the 'Bosmer' In TES series. They're the 'wood elves' of the game and Bosmer means 'tree-sap' in their 'langauge'. Since Chefelf used the word 'chef' in the beginning, I formulated a cheesy backstory behind it and wrote it in my story.

People rarely come up with that kind of stuff as to how Elves are made, but when they do, they normally make them 'creatures of somethingthisthatwhatever'. Dark elves are 'dark' The snow elves are 'snowy', you get the idea. So the Chefelves are kitchen elves.

Interesting. But you know, as far as I'm aware, at present, Chefelf is a kitchen elf, making pizzas or something on Rhode Island.

[Paladin]

He'd in New York.

And yes, while the Chefelves do work in Kitchens, they also work in Brewiers, distilliers and winemaking and all things related to making food. But they're not 'Kitchenelves' they're Chefelves. They just work mostly in Kitchens.

I recognise the distinction now. I am now more informed about these curious creatures.

You look like Rob Courdry from the Daily Show.

Who? My Boromir avatar or Paladin? - sorry, I don't know who Rob Courdry is.

[Stongbah]

Yeah, I was talking about Paladin. Sorry for the confusion.

[Paladin]

Who's Rob Courdry?

Also, what did you think of the story?

And where's Chefelf? It's been more than two days and nothing from him. Oh well. I guess moving to New York is taking up too much time. Life's a female dog.

[Just your average movie goer]

Maybe Chefelf doesn't like us, Paladin. He never posts under my threads.... but that's okay. I underwent some group therapy and I'm coping fairly well.

I quite liked the story, my favourite part being the blasse introduction of Movie Goer.
