The academic's name is Fred.

This fits well with the 'special edition' sense; that the established story is so gosh-darn well known that any more writings on the subject must delve deeper to be interesting to the cognoscenti who would not only buy the 'special edition'/visit the Skywalker Museum BUT visit the Orun Annex. I liked this part:

" ... Darra Antilles, a lateral descendant of Roan Lands, whose part in the saga is minor, but controversial: he is twice described as Ferus Olin’s “partner,” but the meaning of this designation is not clear; and in Luke Skywalker’s account (but not in most of the oral narratives I have encountered), Olin is romantically linked with Ryn Orun during at least part of the Imperial era. If the connection is granted - and there seems little reason to doubt it, apart from an aesthetic preference for the narrative elegance of an Orun who pines eternally for one man, Anakin Skywalker - then it raises important questions about the Olin-Lands relationship and how significant Orun’s involvement with the Lands family may have been (or

Fred? Or FREUD …?

Cognoscenti? Heh, I like that.

There are threesome possibilities? pronker, whatever can you be saying …

I was trying to construct Orun as sort of the "lost voice" of the saga, not sure how well it worked. Maybe it will play out in further writing.

Yeah, but I think I figured it out … you have to make clicky on the ellipses at the bottom of the email window …

Thank you for commenting! :)

Welllll, there /is/ this comm called 'olinslashlands' that has need of a 3sum story IMHO ...

I just like the name Fred.

Yeah, cognoscenti in that the way people are organized: a/the types that never visit museums because they're full of musty historical things, b/some visit museums only because their schools or families make them and they bring nothing away from the experience, c/those whose tradition is to visit museums as a family, any old museum, and d/those who home in on specialized museums, such as the Museum of MODERN Art, the Gene Autry Museum of the AMERICAN WEST, stuff like that. Can't be just any old museum.

If 'Chorus Line' can have a director, unseen by the playgoing audience, interview hopefuls for the chorus line of a new play, and he's eventually seen as an important part of the group's history, then Orun can be the 'lost' voice of SW. It's just a wacky parallel that seems to fit the storyline or maybe the story's structure, to me.

I haven't been to that comm in ages! Are they still posting new stuff over there?

[wyncatastrophe]

I wonder what types visit the Skywalker Museum and its Orun Annex? Must ponder further. Hmm…

What I got from this was that I need to see "Chorus Line."

The plot bunnies are nibbling my toes …

"still posting new stuff over there?" Nope. Mod pops in to LJ now and again; a flister of mine.

What is memorable from the stage production is the disembodied voice work of Big Fat Important Director; he starts out cold and mean, dismissing one person after the other, and then his voice changes into someone more caring, especially after his Ex auditions; she's been down on her luck after starring roles, and needs to work her way back up the ladder. There are most like movie clips on YouTube; I forget how the director worked in the unseen director.

Museum groups of schoolkids, retired types with way too much time on their hands, artists sitting around sketching the portraits or whatever, the museums' usual bunch, I guess.

It's a shame there aren't more Ferus fics of all varieties floating around on the internet. I try

… to do my part.

I'll have to check it out.

I think it's full of pretentious Galactic Civil War Re-enactors … *snort*
