Returning to that Galaxy far, far away
May. 12th, 2008 02:21 pmAhhh, Star Wars, my first fandom love! How I've neglected you the past few years (though really you started it, making people pay for all the goodies in Hyperspace, which I refused to do)! But with the final novel in the Legacy of the Force series set for imminent release (Invincible), as well as the trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars making the internet rounds, I find myself drawn back into your lovingly imperfect embrace.
Specifically, I've revisited the truly excellent fanfiction archive at theforce.net. Seven years young, updated monthly and strictly moderated, theforce.net's archive was my first exposure to fanfiction in any form; that's probably why I'm so able and willing to overlook all the badfic out there and enjoy the stuff all these years later. I only discovered the boils, sores and pimples after the fact! (ffn, I'm looking at you.) Someday I'm going to write some fic of my own (I've been wanting to build on the notion of a Kaiburr crystal for some time now, but my muse just hasn't wanted to kick it into high gear). I can't believe The Clone Wars is going to be a theatrical release this August and I'm only learning about it now.
