fic(-ish): Personal Canon (a.k.a. really, Canon Now That I've Thought Of It)
How this started is, penny_lane_42 wrote an entry full of points of "personal canon" for certain characters in her fandoms (five per character), and it was all generally awesome, and yanked me out of my new story dithering and gave me something to do at work when it was slow (receipt paper ftw). However, this is me, the girl who wanted to write a short story,

Hmm, if these points are form you, wouldn't they be 'Always' canon? And lovely points, too. :) I love Jaina and Zekk's ones.

Lera
that part of her she once shared with Devnos freezes up and reminds her of all the nearby escape routes and defensive weapons. Brilliant.
I am in love with #5. Like, I cannot even tell you.
6) There is no word, in Basic or in Na’Lein, that hurts her quite like khalan. *blushes* Obviously, I'm not a good fan because I totally don't remember what that word means.
#9 broke my heart. And I'm totally not forgiving Clayra for being so horrible to Lera!
Isra
She never saw her father again, but she has kept every one of his secrets, and remembers all of his enemies. That is soooo Isra. Wow.
#2 is mindblowing for real.
She didn’t love Gaffil. After, she compares every man she meets to her once lover, only equal. No one will measure up. (She refuses to miss him). Oh, I love that.
#6!!!!!
Jaina
Love the Jaceness in Jaina's. Oh, Jacen. *is very glad she stopped reading after the ( ... )

#3) thankee :D Although 777 would have changed Gantik, at the same time I always thought he'd still have a bit of that creepiness, because he's always been a borderline character, and it fits with the world--deep-seated prejudices/misogyny don't just disappear, after all. To me, it was more that he...let Sanar go (sort of, as much as he ever will), and put a leash on himself. That said, I'm pretty sure Devnos picked up on the Gantik/Sanar element, and he'd be trying to protect Lera, even if it's just by creating a reflex.
6) Sorry! I get so used to these words, and then forget that not everyone lives with Na'Lein in their head after the trilogy has finished :P Khalen refers to the Na'Lein word for "foreigner, stranger," and given the culture's distaste of outsiders, it almost has an undercurrent of "enemy." The Na'Lein xenophobic attitude would have caused a *lot* of trouble for Lera, especially once Nichyn went into politics, as a khalen connection (let alone bride) would be a liability, and some of that resentment would have ( ... )

I saw the last book in the new series, couldn't help myself, and read the ending that blew my mind. Jacen canon ends somewhere in NJO, if not YJK, methinks :O :p *tries not to think about it* For me, Jacen canon ends after Traitor (*loves that book far more than is reasonable*). It's weird--I've almost completely turned my back on SW fandom (years and years burnt me out, and it was time to move on), but I will always, always hold an unreasonable amount of love for both Kyp and Jacen. I swear that Kyp is the reason that I got involved in fandom in the first place.
You're welcome!

Haha, I totally understand about SW burnout. I haven't read any of the new SW books since, oh, about half-way through NJO? I just had this habit of skimming all the books for Jaina, Zekk, Kyp, etc, scenes, and drifted on the other parts, and fanfiction ended up replacing the books for me, and then I was just finishing off Always :p Hey, you have Kyp, and I have Jaina and the YJK match-ups.
