I've been meaning to do this for awhile, and I guess -- here goes.

Ten Things George Lucas Has Said That Don't Fill My Soul With Rage

I'm not sure if this counts as one step beyond. )


---------------

Title: Revenge of the Jedi (3/17)

Fanverse: Revenge of the Jedi

Blurb: Luke becomes more adept with the Force and starts experimenting. Also, moar backstory!

This has been quite a week, both online and in RL. To summarize:

Back when I started working on Ten Things I Don't Hate About the Prequel Trilogy, I'd actually intended to write about things I do hate about them. But it seemed like I couldn't go anywhere without running across "bashers are gonna bash" or "lol, stupid Plinkett worshippers" or "those haters make me sick" or "why can't they just get a life and stop ruining our fandom" or "eh, they're mindless sheep" or even "don't mind them, they're just fanboys that never grew up" and I was sick and a bit down, so instead I tried to cheer myself up with something that seemed marginally less likely to annoy people.

I'm not doing to do the original plan now, either, because I effectively talk about it plenty of the time (and I expect it will, ah, naturally come up here anyway). However, I still keep coming across variations of the above statements almost everywhere in the fandom. I don't think I've ever gone from dread to relief to gratitude so quickly as when I found this post. Thank you thank you thank you.

So, instead of talking about the prequels themselves, I'm going to talk about the things that led to my original post being my original post.  Warnings: herds of teal deer, pratting on about my life and ISSUES, TV Tropes, Skywalker-worthy complaining, and general hatred of the prequels.

While I've been mulling over this one for awhile, I didn't sit down to write it until last week, when I really needed to cheer myself up. Everything's better now, so here we go:

Ten things I don't hate about the prequel trilogy

(Warnings: don't hate doesn't mean love or even like. I do talk a little about things I hate to explain the things I don't. There's the occasional spasm of fannish glee, plenty of SHRIEKING IN ALL CAPS [or italics], and lots of rambling. I ended up meandering past Red Letter Media, Greek mythology, and my fannish worship of Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. Also, TV Tropes. Okay? Okay.)

Day 19:  What is your favourite era?

OT, of course -- particularly c. ESB, when all my favourite developments are taking place.  And it's a particularly optimal time for AUs.

Aaaaaand ... I was sorting my files, which are numerous, when I ran across this OT meta uh, AU fic.

-----------------------------------

Title: Five Eleven Things Anakin Skywalker Said To His Son

Fanverse: headcanon land, where (among many many other things), Luke and Leia lived with their respective same-sex parents in early childhood

Blurb:  Because I like to go one step beyond!

Pairings/Warnings:  no pairings; allusions to character deaths

Length: one-shot

I'm headed into a month of working on a single long project, so a few days ago I decided to finish my last cheesy!short!lazy!fic in time to begin the NaNoWriMo lulzy disaster: five twists that would have been really shocking if they'd been the Big Reveals, but ... weren't. Total justification for melodrama and cheese and Fun With Italics, even without the perpetual comfort of the Holiday Special.

The second reveal, incidentally, was inspired by this conversation with rugicorrino.

-----------------------------------

Title: Five Reveals That Never Happened

Fanverse: five of them, each an AU of the original trilogy

Blurb: "NooooooOOOOOooooo!"

Pairings/Warnings:  no pairings; um, general mind-screwy-ness, I guess

Length: one-shot
