Ben Skywalker’s Ascension into Domestic Violence - Why the Fate of the Jedi Hurts So Much is an interesting read. (Warning, though, some discussion of violence & possible rape - ditto under the cut here). Although I'd personally qualify this suggestion:( ... )

I haven't read any FOTJ since about the second book -- mainly because I got busy and was losing interest anyway -- but wow, reading this review of Vortex reminds me just how much I loathe Troy Denning's contributions to the series and makes me so thankful I'm not wasting my money on this bile-filled rubbish anymore.

Let's check the highlights:( Read more... )

I've really not been doing well with the whole journal thing lately. (An update a month, on average? Oh dear.) Work has more or less taken over my life this month, at least. Had the chance to catch up this weekend, and ended up doing... practically nothing useful. Hmm.

Did skim-read through Destiny's Way for a fic, and wow, I'd forgotten (or ( Read more... )

Would not be surprised if the potential FOTJ spoilers referenced on TFN are accurate, given the heavy anvil-dropping starting with the unidentified "she" at the beginning of Outcast through to the mysteriously familiar dark presence that wanted Luke in Abyss. ("A voice cold and familiar and half-remembered inside Luke's mind, a dream-lover's ( Read more... )

Been meaning to post a review of this for a while but have recently read A Slight Trick of the Mind, by Mitch Cullen. It takes on the premise of Sherlock Holmes and who he was, both in the Doyle canon and as a literary figure, through an exploration of the life of a much older Holmes eking out his retirement in the wake of WWII on a rural farm in ( Read more... )

Anakin Solo Resurrected?

( Are you kidding? )

If there's one thing that guaranteed to make me squirm, it's infantisation of adult characters in fic. Luke and Han friendship fics feature this all too often. If I read one more where Luke cries, whimpers, tells Han he's scared, or otherwise behaves with OOC levels of childlike neediness, I will... probably cringe and hit the back button. (Fear my ( Read more... )

So, O wise flist, Trek fanfic. Does anyone have any recs for reboot-fic? Probably gen at the moment, though I wouldn't mind decently written het. I don't think I'm quite prepared for Kirk/everyone under this and every other sun just yet. :p ( Read more... )

I'm so relieved the semester is over, because I thought the final exam would kill me. Four months of foundation psych doesn't easily compress into a week of study. This would teach me to pace my study properly.... except I resolve to do that at the start of ever semester and it lasts about two weeks ( Read more... )

Title: "Detention"
Characters: Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo
Setting: Yavin 4 praxeum
Timeframe: Somewhere around the YJK/JJK era... before NJO, anyway.

Summary: Because the praxeum must have some equivalent to being sent to the headmaster's office.

A/N: I've had a hankering to write Jacen ever since finishing Invincible a few months ago. Starting ( Read more... )
