Cheeseburger Brown (aka Matthew Frederick Davis Hemming) has just posted the fully browseable Darth Vader Livejournal, in chronological order—including entries backfilled to cover the A New Hope events.
In other words, he's written his own prequels.
And it's hard, keeping the texture consistent. Lengths of entries, terminology, names, events that are unexplained at first but then fully elaborated upon in the new entries appearing before their antecedents—even for something done in a matter of a month rather than twenty years, there are some things that can't be totally ironed out, even with a Special Edition treatment.
Nonetheless, it's great fun... and nothing much compares to the visual of Darth Vader sitting at the end of a conference room table as middle managers present PowerPoint slides, dozing behind his masque as the rest don't notice (or pretend not to)...
