[Star Wars] my favorite kyp/jaina fics in the universe

[tabacoychanel]

So I know this pairing is pretty much dead, and moreover the entire fandom has been experiencing steady attrition since ROTS came out, but I'm going to go ahead and make a monster of a rec post anyway. I was not involved in Star Wars fandom at the time most of these stories were written. Thus, when I went on my Kyp/Jaina kick a few months ago, the

To quote Threepio, "Goodness gracious me!" (At least I think that was him.)

This is Dana, aka Dantanaskywalker, under a different username. Long story.

ANYWAY! Wow. This list is phenomenal, and brings back so many memories of K/J when the fandom was . . . Well. Difficult to put into words. Lots of fantastic ficcage on this list, and for all the reasons you mentioned. I think you managed to do what I've struggled so hard with in the past, and I applaud you for it.

I was, I'll admit, really surprised to see "When The Tide Comes" on this list, 'cause it's been unfinished for a very, very loooooong time, and I'd basically forgotten about it. Now you make me want to pull it back out and sorta poke at it.

Thanks, BTW, for the review of "Deserts". That's one of my fave fics ever, and seeing the "surprisingly not crack" in there made me LOL literally.

Actually existent? Lol I think it's gotten to the point that they're going to combine the fanfiction awards for all three eras next year, because yeah, practically nobody got the requisite three nominations this time around. And as the entire fandom shrinks, K/J is one of the first pairings to go because it's never exactly been the most popular one around. I remember in the very beginning, when everything was posted to the classics board. /iwasthirteen

I'm so impressed with everything you did with KAJSU and the K/J index back in the day, and I'd never have been able to put together this post without it, and you totally deserve to be applauded for all that work.

Haha When the Tide Comes is my favorite story of yours.

[jainadurron]

LOL. Yeah. Existent.

I keep meaning to get the K/J fanfic archive up and running again, but I'm in the middle of moving the database to a new host, so that'll have to wait again. Now, if only I could get authors to post their stuff there, too . . .

I remember "When The Tide Comes", how much I loved writing it, but it was used as a . . . I dunno, some people used it against me a while back, so that kind of killed the fun of it for me. Maybe I'll get back to it someday. Zeth is a lot of fun to write.

I'd love to see an up and running K/J archive :) I have a story I could post there I suppose, if you let me know if & when you get it going.

[clarrisani]

Why the hell did they use it against you? I loved that story.

[jainadurron]

Had to do with how I was an inappropriate person to have as a moderator because I endorsed an inappropriate and abusive relationship between Kyp and Jaina, where he was clearly taking advantage of an underaged girl.

Yeah, didn't make sense to me, either, but TKL and Lex took it to the admins as "proof" I was a bad mod.

[clarrisani]

Oh they can go and shove it up their backsides. If was canon that there was something between Kyp and Jaina, and where is their proof he was taking advantage? Don't they understand artistic license? But then again, I was flamed for giving Han the Force, going dark side and killing Leia, so I guess some people don't understand.

Just know that most of us think that story was brilliant and if idiots don't understand what you were trying to do, too bad for them. They'll just have to miss out.
