slow down my love; you're confusing me.

( Voice loss. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan gen, meta about species diversity/what it means to look human in the SW-verse. Written mostly to get me writing again. No ending whatsoever, undirected, and in desperate need of focusing. )

This was so different! guh! It doesnt even need slash - Id just keep reading and reading because its so interesting.

"Shortness, Obi-Wan. I believe it explains why you are so short."

Qui-Gon would occaisionally attempt to imitate the way that Obi-Wan squeaked in outrage, but by his own admission, he never did a particularly good job of it.

Ah, I loved this.

Ahahah. *__________* The notion of how different Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are, man. It's really motherfucking interesting, I think.

Stop crying, woobie Jedi Master. *nudges your icon*

Glad you liked, man. This fic just flopped straight from brain to the page even more so than the regular fic, and yeah. I'm incapable of writing a straight narrative story. It was supposed to be one of my goals for this summer, but I just don't know how to cram everything I want in the story if I write it from beginning to end. *___________*

Oh, I'm definitely weirder. It's pretty much well-established that I'm a big freakface sloppy idiot; Dilly's spent the better part of the past year or so trying to teach me how to get a little more structure/craft in my writing, but yeah. You'd think that putting things in the order that they happen would come naturally, but no, I can't do it to save my life ( ... )

dlkfjg AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA omg an Obi-Qui mule. *wipes tears from eyes* quigonejinn October 8 2005, 14:44:38 UTC

ladkjfadfhahah. "Excuse me, sir. I'm going to step away for a moment because I believe that my robe is fusing to the raw surface of my back. Don't mind the screaming; that'll just be my Padawan forcibly separating the two. :> Please continue neogotiation ( ... )

This is a very intriguing subject for me. Over at sith_chicks yahoogrouplist, I got into a bit of debate with an author of "furry" fic who had written a huge epic set in GFFA, but adding all sorts of extra species that are apparently well known in that other fandom, and not to be substituted for Lucas-friendly existing ones. I have seen Qui-Obi fics where Qui-Gon's being another type of humanoid was a big deal, (especially when it came to how he got an erection wouldncha know)so it's a natural fit to the Q/O tradition, you could say.

My own fave species atm is Lepi, but I am not above Obi-Dex, or Bothan-human, not at all. Think, too, of the poor Jedi in the New Jedi order who are the last of their species, like Saba...where will they take comfort, and how?

This? Fabulous. How do you do these two so that I love them? Me, who never had a fond thought about Qui-Gon in her life. It's one of those mysteries of life, obviously.

I love the comparative anatomy. I love the relationship between them, and the way you show it in snatches of physical damage. I love the working-Jedi. Just grand.

quigonejinn October 12 2005, 14:38:04 UTC

You know, I tell people that I would have gotten into Star Wars much, much earlier instead of my present belated age if only Lucas had made the prequels first. As grand and redemptive as IV-VI are, my God, old school Jedi and the Old Republic are the BEST THINGS EVER. EVER.

And ahah. I suspect I've fluffed up their relationship unneessarily to recover from the trauma of TPM. Poor Obi-Wan. Poor, poor Obi-Wan.
