Ah-ha! It's letting me post after all!

Omigod, look at all the pretty Ewan pics! *Stares happily and hums* Y'all may not want to let me post here too often if we're really allowed to give away plot bunnies. I've only got dozens of the suckers, and it's all Ewan's fault. He's just too darn irresistable. *Sighs*

Hmmm . . . I'm not good with recs, but _e_w_a_n_
might be interesting to some . . .

*Waves back happily*
Great googlie-mooglie, don't tell me that! I'll never stop posting stray plot bunnies in the hopes that someone will adopt them if I get started! I had to stop trying to read that Riding the Wheel of If story cycle people kept telling me I needed to read when I was first discovering a lot of SW and/or Ewan-ish sites, and I literally had to do so because it kept generating too many Ewan-centric plot bunnies and they were driving me nuts. That's one of the only things I've ever stopped reading part-way through because it was making me think too much - though I doubt I was meant to be thinking in most of those directions! *Lol and shakes head semi-ruefully* Hmm. You know, if you're interested in all kinds of possible Ewan pairings, you might actually go ask that author. I'm not a Qui/Obi person, as you may have very well guessed by now (at which thought she can't quite entirely repress a shudder), so I'm not exactly qualified to truly appreciate the vast majority of her stories, but MrsHamill is . . . inventive, if nothing else. *Snickers at the understatement* Ever heard of Mom's Kitchen? That's the name of her website. It's on the same hawksong.com that several other huge lots of SW AU fics are on that I've never finished reading mostly because my brain refuses to wrap around the notion of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon being together like that. They're all big Master/Apprentice-type writers. Not exactly my personal cup of tea, but there is lots of Obi-Wan, guaranteed, which means lots of potential Ewan-time, if one looks at it from a certain point of view. *Shrugs and grins lopsidedly*

Hehehehe like I said post away.

Haven't heard of any of this but I'll have to check them out. I'm not sure whether I like Qui-Gon and Obi as a pair. I have read one fic that was well written and I liked the pairing as it was written then but I doubt I'll ever write that pairing myself. I like Hayden as much as I like Ewan so that pairing is more comfortable for me and to be honest I'm still shocked I love those two as much as Curt and Brian.

I think the strangest and frankly ewwwww character pairing has to be Tom Lincoln and Lincoln 6 Echo. I can't help but feel it's just sick and wrong (as Ron Stopable would say) on so many levels

Hehehe I had noticed you're only slightly fond of Obi and Ani as a pairing. Just a teensy incy wittle bit *holds hands as far apart as possible*

In that case, I may have to start making actual notes on the little buggers so I can post them properly. I used to keep a log of all my various story ideas but it only encouraged the blasted bunnies and I stopped after I finallly settled in with the WiP because they were driving me nuts. *Grins evilly and rubs hands together* But this would be a way to do something with all of the pesky things and not have any major guilt over neglecting the WiP storylines. *Begins to plot for a major bunny giveaway*

I like to consider myself open-minded, but there are a few SW pairings that make me twitch with the need to run for the hills, and Qui/Obi is one of those pairings. I just can't get past the hidious way Qui-Gon treats Obi-Wan in the canon and EU. That kind of situation lends itself too easily to abuse. I know a lot of people really think or thought that those two are the SW prequel OTP, but I can't stomach the pairing, myself. Even with fic where the pairing is AU as all get out and the story's really written well,
I can't shut up the voice in the back of my head screaming that the whole thing is just wrong. So . . . *Shrugs, a bit helplessly* It really tends to limit my SW potential reading material, since honestly it seems like a vast majority of prequel fic is either Qui/Obi or gen-fic, which means I probably spend less time reading than I should and no doubt miss all kinds of goodies. *Sighs* But what can you do? *Shrugs* I will go for an Ewan or other Ewan-character fic before I will read anything Qui/Obi, most of the time. As many different films as Ewan's been in that have fanbases, it's usually easier to find something else good with him in it than it is to find SW prequel fic with Obi-Wan as a main character that doesn't give me a case of the heebie-jeebies.

*Snickers* I think I read one fic (it wasn't done, last time I checked) that had that pairing that didn't just make me even more pissed off at the character of Tom Lincoln than I had been to begin with, and it was one where his death as it happens in the movie ended up being, well, not exactly staged, but not real, either. And the whole thing still kind of bothered me, because it felt so much like an extended experiment is literal self-narcaccistic love.

*Snickers up sleeve* Gee, and here I thought I was being subtle about it! *Lol!*
