Anghraine

I finished recording The Adventures of Lucy Skywalker, the first of the main fics in my ongoing f!Luke AU. It’s all uploaded at my other corner of the Internet (thanks to tree) here. The recording matches the AO3 version here, which I slightly cleaned up for this.

I know it’s not most people’s thing, but stuff to know if it does sound relevant to your interests:

• It was first posted in 2011(!), is 29k long, and runs parallel to most of ANH.
• It’s based on the films and (where possible) the scripts, but not expanded universes past or present, official statements, etc.
• On that note (because I get asked about it), Lucy and Leia’s age is based on the ANH script, which states that Luke is 18 and Leia is about 16. I averaged it out to 17.
• It does end on a cliffhanger, which has long been resolved in the AO3 version, but not recorded yet.
• I don’t do accents etc apart from my own, though I try to differentiate the voices slightly.
• The page can take a few seconds longer than most pages to load.

I'm actually coming through with working on the next-update-as-chosen-by-the-people, aka "nearly done with ch 22 of ad astra." I am unironically proud of myself for this!

Normally, I would post an excerpt at Tumblr, but I kind of want to surprise the non-Dreamwidth people tomorrow. So I'm posting it here to encourage myself to power through:

...least of all with a teaching job and two grad classes, but there was no way backstory headcanon TFA fic wasn't going to happen.

title: reyes (1/2 or so)
verse: shares some of my old headcanon, but this part is mostly just tiny Ben and his OT3 parents mother, father, and uncle dealing with canonical stuff. Also fluff, mostly, but with references to (canon) genocide.

I meant to finish this by/for the fourth, but ... yeah, we know how my scheduling goes. Anyway, back to Obi-Wan's nonexistent corpse.

( Summarizing )

So The Phantom Menace is out again, this time in 3-D, with a less bizarre-looking Yoda. I keep telling myself to go and see it, but haven't worked myself up to it. But after having just written nine posts about my multitude of issues with Padmé Amidala, and remembering that hey, I don't like TPM but I do like Padmé in it, it seemed a good time to picspam her.

I had a great time digging the pictures up, too, whether off of tumblr or deviantart or the depths of my hard drive. Padmé Amidala = most fabulously costumed character to exist. And not in Star Wars - in anything, ever.

I will probably doing more audio things in the near future, because, honestly, it's about all I have time for at the moment. Back in ye olde days of 300-level classes, and only three of them, I had plenty of time for my sort of involved, rambly essays, which I just don't at the moment. But I do want to stay involved in my fandoms! So audio stuff that doesn't take as long, with transcripts when I can manage, so sort of like rambles, but more...spontaneous!

In related whatsits, I would like to do a reading of something I didn't write, in accordance with the whole hey-I-have-time-for-talking-if-not-much-else. So if anybody is willing to have me podfic a fic of theirs, drop me a line or a comment or something.

Guys, guys (er, the two of you that are probably reading this), I just got Lucy fanart! Not for the au_bb -- just because! And it's gorgeous and shiny and everything is wonderful and maybe there will be more OMG this is one the most exciting things that has ever happened to me in fandom (any fandom) and my face has been frozen in :D for the last hour. Feel free to shower her with praise! Because art for me and it's good.

Title: The Adventures of Lucy Skywalker (Prologue, 1/10, 2/10)

Fanverse: The Adventures of Lucy Skywalker

Blurb: Luke is a girl. (I tried to polish it up for the au_bigbang, but really, that's it.)

Pairings/warnings/assorted notes: No official pairings; no warnings for anything that isn't in the OT already; as always, I consider the films alone to be canon, so there's little if anything from the EU. I relied a bit on the screenplays for things like ages, but didn't treat those as hard-and-fast canon either.

Length: 28,978 words (prologue + ten chapters; finished)
