star wars rec

oh. um, have i rec'd this before?

(a winter's tale, by kass. nc-17.)

on star wars slash:

i think i have a weakness for that teacher/student kink which, not surprisingly, runs rampant at the master/apprentice archive.

but oh, i think a really adult obi-wan is so much more romantic. equality is romantic as inequality never can be. i have this one facial expression in mind from aotc--with the beard, and the hair, both ridiculous, but neither without charm. adult, confident, self-contained, self-sufficient and capable in his own right.

i don't think the 'unable to function without you' thing is all that romantic, although to be sure it's real enough. apparently many people disagree with me.

mirabellawotr, i'm about to update my recs page with about fifty qui-gon/obi-wan. if you're, y'know, still interested... ::sly look::

doujinshi outlet!

aeslis is in japan.

she is setting up a wee business selling doujinshi.

i mean, she is performing a public service in providing to the hungry public doujinshi. so if you like or might like those anime-looking drawings of your favorite boys having sex, um... look!

fandom research, philosphical cimbabble

froda_baggins is collecting data about how people feel about fandom and fandoms for an emergency school project here. i encourage everyone's participation. questions like 'where did you start to hear your muses?' and 'why do you think fandom is important to you?' really sparked my interest and i wrote a wee essay-like thing. my answers only came to me as i started to write them, but they're things i want to think about more so i'm recording them here. and, uh, you can all think about them too, or you can skim over, just as you wish.

>Why do you think fandom is so important to you?

i love the concept of a SHARED universe, with SHARED characters. everyone's views of them may be different, but they overlap, and they overlap with canon and diverge from it, and then there's fanon, and there's a FEELING to the body of work in a fandom that's a nebulous collective of the work and the prescence of all the people in that fandom. within all those interwoven, overlapping ideas there are an infinite number of truths, and every idea in a shared universe becomes a dialogue, a discussion, with the fandom and everyone in it.

( oops, my soapbox is showing.... )

email not working again, apparently

this is just notice to everyone. no comment e-mails are going through and just now i couldn't get into the program.

bugger.

(no subject)

motherfucking republicans.

(no subject)

no responses from k'sal. i hope she's all right.

(no subject)

item the first: i can't help but suspect that there are people out there who don't know that a nameday and a birthday are not the same thing.
item the second: i hold grudges. for a long time.

...heh.

recs page update of huge hugeness

i've just updated my recs page as promised. there are two due south; a couple of lotr and lotr rps; 6 harry potter; 10 pirates of the caribbean; some potc and harry potter rps and 8 smallville in other; and, most significantly, an amazing fifty star wars (all but three of those are qui-gon/obi-wan. the three are han/luke.)

FIC CRAVINGS

i want some scotty/uhura so bad i can TASTE it.

more sex for minor characters, dammit!

fandom is like whoa

i find it absolutely fascinating to be wandering about other fandoms and discover what appear to be the very early efforts of very talented and accomplished writers--their talents unburnished, rough-hewn, sometimes clumsy, over- or underdone.

hey, fandom (the larger fandom i mean) is so cool.

star wars not-rec

someone's got a caveman kink. don't read if you don't like cluelesschild!obi-wan. he's like the heroine in a particularly bad romance novel.

also: use the force, nitwit. he's been drugged. he doesn't even notice?!

half-rec

hahah! aggressive and whimsically seductive obi-wan takes on a wholly unprepared innocent!qui-gon.

a substitute for another guy

whoa.

random bitchiness, you know, in unexpected places and from strangers, always astonishes me. are they trolls or troll-wannabes, deriving enjoyment from unprovoked rudeness to random people they don't know from adam? or were they just born without the gene that notifies normal humans that they should bite their tongues on pointless venom directed at strangers?

como eres entonces, cuando aún no existías

dammit. am i supposed to respond to my feedback? ...d'oh.

sw anti-rec

::baffled snort:: whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

@.<

er.

star wars sorta rec

ahahahhahaha. crazy delusional semi-evil obi! i got the point halfway through and stopped reading, but it's hilarious. hilarious.
