how many works do you have on AO3?

22 fics

what’s your total A03 word count?

104024 total

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

In the Seashell - Ahsoka gets in trouble at the Temple for fighting and worries what Anakin will say when he finds out. (He’s more understanding than she thinks, given his own history.)

Lightsaber Lesson - Another Anakin & Ahsoka. In this one, Anakin tries to force Ahsoka to flip her lightsaber grip and it doesn’t go over well. Ahsoka gets snippy and Anakin takes her lightsaber as punishment. Meanwhile, the whole situation amuses Obi-Wan, who is separately approached by both of them.

Aurebesh Soup - A very fluffy sickfic. Obi-Wan makes Aurebesh soup for his sick little Padawan as comfort food and uses it to help Anakin learn his letters.

Secrets of the Temple - Youngling Ahsoka escapes from a meditation time-out and has an adventure in the lower levels of the Temple, where she meets Grogu.

The Bacta Tank - Another fluffy baby Padawan Anakin. Anakin breaks his arm and needs a bacta treatment but is terrified to get in the tank because he’s never seen that much liquid. Obi-Wan ends up having to strip down to his underwear (!!) and go in with his Padawan.

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I always respond to comments. I appreciate them so much, whether they are paragraphs long or just a simple heart. i want readers to know how much I love that they took the time to take that extra step.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Most of my fics end happily, but I particularly love the endings of the Rebels ones because they usually involve a fun space-family moment. I also like the end of “In the Seashell” where Anakin and Ahsoka are laughing together.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Definitely Analyzing Anakin. Both chapters end very badly. (Sorry! Order 66 - what are you gonna do??)

Do you write crossovers?

Nope. (But I guess never say never!)

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not really. I’ve had some nitpicking and maybe a little misunderstanding of intent, but no hate.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nope. I like reading it though!!

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not really. Once someone wrote something very similar to one of my fics but it’s hard to totally avoid the same stories in the Star Wars universe. And when you read a lot of fics, things stick in your head and you start to forget where you got them - is it canon, headcanon, or someone else’s headcanon? - so I think similarities are inevitable.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of!

Have you ever co-written a fic?

Many times! With my fanfic BFF, @peachybitters! She is a joy to write with. We have a very similar thought process and similar writing styles so I feel like the things we write together are seamless. Sometimes I can’t even remember who wrote which parts.

What is your all time favorite ship?

I’m actually not sure. I guess I ship Anakin & Obi-Wan as soulmates so I like reading about them in any configuration even though I don’t write any Obikin myself. I also really, really love Kanan & Hera - they have such a healthy, lovely relationship.

What is a WIP that you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?

Hmm... I have an Obi-Wan and Anakin one that I started a long time ago that I’ve kind of cannibalized bits and pieces of for other fics, so I probably will never actually finish it.

What are your writing strengths?

I write good dialogue and I think I’m pretty good with dynamic beginnings and endings to stories (it’s usually the middle where I get lost - lol)

What are your writing weaknesses?

Trying to think of a million different ways to say “he said” - haha! Also fics that are very plot-heavy are hard for me. I tend to want to skip over the action and get to the meaty conversations.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Kudos to you if you can do it! I don’t think I’ve ever tried (other than some random food words.)

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Star Wars is my one and only, baby!!

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Probably “Lightsaber Lesson” - I just love the disaster trio so much and that fic has all of them in their various permutations. But I’d give a second place to A Day of Reflection which is another disaster trio one and is loosely based on the movie “The Breakfast Club.” Also @thenegoteator made me some amazing fanart for it!

Now I want my fanfic friends to answer these same questions so I’m tagging @peachybitters @rexismycopilot @believe-in-alderaan @theagentnerd and @kckenobi - no pressure of course because this was very time consuming and I also want all of you to work on your WIPs that I am dying to read!!

I'm just gonna copy paste a reddit post that highlights how weird some of these criticisms are concerning The Last Jedi.

*CREDIT TO u/jmarFTL *

So I just got back from the Original Trilogy and hoo boy, what a big piece of shit. I can't express how disappointed I am in these films that are full of plot holes.

First of all, there is just a ridiculous amount of cringy humor all over these movies, and they undercut serious moments. I mean, Han Solo saying "boring conversation anyways" when he shoots the intercom? They're in mortal danger, they have the entire base after them! And huge moments like the first time they finally rescue the princess they've been trying to rescue the whole movie and the first words out of her mouth is "aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" Not to mention in every single scene where they're supposed to be in danger, C-3PO is piping up with jokes as the stupid "comic relief."

Then Luke is supposed to be finding this great Jedi master, right, and it turns out it's a fucking puppet in a swamp who sounds like a goddamn Muppet and who just makes jokes all the time! He seems more interested in his food then teaching him the ways of the Force! These are supposed to be serious scenes in a serious film and instead they just want to joke, joke, joke. Ugh, just cringe everywhere.

Secondly, do they plan on explaining anything? I mean, OK, we've got the Rebels and the Empire. The Rebels are good because they say they're good and the Empire is bad because they say they're bad. That's great. How about explaining how the Empire came to be? Why the Rebels started fighting? None of this is ever explained over literally three movies. And the main villain, the guy who is obviously a big fucking deal, they never even tell you where he came from? He's just Emperor Palpatine and he's the Emperor because he's the Emperor. Uh, how about explaining how he became Emperor and how he became so powerful in the dark side of the Force? I mean, hello? He's the main bad guy! Seriously, they kill him and never explain who he is or where he came from. I guess now we'll never know.

I mean seriously, it feels like these could use three more films explaining all the shit that they didn't explain in these. I'd watch those, there's no way they could be bad.

Third, these films have no respect for canon. OK, so at the beginning of Empire Strikes Back, Luke is hanging upside down in a wampa cave. And he just reaches out and conveniently the lightsaber just flies into his hand? WTF? It hadn't been established that the Force can do this! Even Obi-Wan didn't do that, and Luke, who hasn't had a lick of actual training, is able to do it first try? Give me a fucking break with this bullshit.

Oh, speaking of Obi-Wan, they build him up in the entire first movie to be this badass, hell he even trained Luke's father supposedly. You know that he's one of the greatest Jedi (whatever a Jedi is, they don't even really explain that, LOL), and you're all ready for him to fuck some shit up. And he - get this - he turns his fucking lightsaber off rather than just fuck this dude up. He lets himself die. They seriously make Obi-Wan into a bitch, dude. I wanted to see him be a badass.

They just throw in twists for the sake of twists. It's like, Vader is Luke's dad, even though Obi-Wan explicitly said Vader killed his dad. Also Leia is Luke's sister? So like, Darth Vader was arresting his own daugher in ANH? They don't even have the same last name! I thought when Yoda said there was another it was gonna be Han Solo, they just shit all over the fan theories.

Then, get this, they destroy the Death Star, you know, the big goddamn base, at the end of the first one, and in the second one the Empire is just conveniently back with no explanation whatsoever? Again, how the hell did they get so powerful? You destroyed their main base and they just show up again like nothing happened!

And that doesn't even get into the ridiculous plot holes throughout the movies. The Empire apparently actually leaked the plans to the second Death Star to the Rebels on purpose so that the Rebels would show up and be slaughtered. But the Rebels end up destroying the Death Star anyways. So why would you give them the actual plans? Why not give them fake plans so even if they survived the trap somehow, they couldn't blow up the Death Star. Also, if the key to the Death Star is the shields, why would you leave like just a couple guys at the base down on Endor? That's the key to the whole thing!

Jabba, just push them off the skiff into the sarlaac! Better yet, just tie them up and shoot them and then there's no chance for them to escape! Tarkin, stop delaying and just fire the Death Star! It took Alderaan out in like two seconds, why does it take a damn year to power up now? It's just awful, everyone acts illogically the whole time.

Christ. You know, I just want to go to the movies to have fun. It's never happened once in my life, but I am sure someone out there will be able to do it. But it's not these movies, that's for damn sure. Avoid these big steaming turds at all costs.

Sincerely,

Modern Star Wars fans

“Twin Suns“ Liveblog

Am I prepared? Not remotely.

Whew boy, this is gonna be a roller-coaster.

...Have I got tissues?

Hang on, I might need tissues.

Okay, ready.

Go.

Oh okay good, we start right with the preview clip that I didn’t watch.

‘cause I was deliberately trying to avoid spoiling myself for anything.

And Maul is just a little unhinged.

Side note:

Maul fans unironically (repeatedly!) compared this scene of Maul screaming obscenities into the desert to Stitch going out into the woods looking for his family.

If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about them, I don’t know what does.

Anyway...

Maul plotting to draw Obi-Wan out by...??? Wrecking shit? Endangering people? I guess?

Whatever he’s planning I don’t like it. Holy toledo Maul is batshit.

He is just... not taking things very well is he?

I think Ezra’s rejection cracked him, guys.

Pulling out the holocron shard...

Hang on... hang on hang on HANG ON IS MAUL DELIBERATELY GONNA SEND THE VISION TO EZRA?

Like he did back in “Visions and Voices?” When he wanted to let Ezra know he was coming by freaking him out?

Is he gonna lure Ezra into the desert to deliberately endanger him and flush Obi-Wan from hiding?!

THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE’S GONNA DO, ISN’T IT?

Oh stars, dear genre-savvy please be wrong please be wrong please be wrong.

aNYWAY here’s the titlecard.

With no fanfare oh wonderful.

I hate this.

Cue nighttime on Atollon.

Awww, sleeping Ezra!

Nice to see that he and Zeb are still sharing a room.

This scene has some great direction and atmosphere going on, A+ animators.

Oooooh and the MUSIC!

Uh-oh, the Sith holocron is glowing. Bad sign.

Oh shit.

“Senator Organa confirmed his death.” Ha ha ha yeah, Senator Organa lied through his teeth, Rex.

Lied. Through his. Teeth.

“You’ve heard it before and it was just a trick.” Except it was actually Maul dicking around with Ezra before dropping in to pay him a visit but okay, sure, whatever you say Kanan.

“I wanna go to Tatooine to check things out!”

Oh Ezra.

My precious son.

My sweet little “I will SAVE everyone!” blueberry.

Worried Spacemom is worried and no-nonsense.

This conversation is so sweet.

And it almost looks like Hera will hug Ezra?

Hug please?

Hug?

No?

Awww, no hug. Drat.

Heh, Ezra being sneaky and tryna grab an A-wing.

And Chopper’s coming along too, natch.

“Hey! What are you doing?”

HE’S ESCAPING, RANDOM PILOT. HE’S ESCAPING.

s’how Ezra rolls yo.

AH HA HA HA THE LITTLE SHIT IS PRETENDING LIKE HE CAN’T HEAR.

So precious.

Awww, and apologizing to Hera before he goes.

Spacemom is gonna be so mad when he gets back.

“YOU ENDANGERED YOURSELF AND THE MISSION AND YOU LOST AN A-WING YOU ARE GROUNDED YOUNG MAN GROUNDED!”

Hi Chopper.

Nice touch with Ezra’s startled jump making the A-wing swerve.

Once again, I just love how this scene is staged and directed.

So quiet.

So nice.

And pretty music.

Aaaaaaaand this is where Ezra loses the A-wing.

Only question now is who crunched it.

Oh oh oh oh ominous shadow, not good not good WHO IS THAT IS IT MAUL?

Uh-oh, there’s Sith holocron pieces it’s a trap MAUL TOTALLY LURED HIM THERE.

Tusken Raiders oh joy. That’s... that’s great.

WHY AM I ALWAYS RIGHT?!

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEEEEEEEWWWWW IIIIIIIT!

Maul deliberately gave Ezra the vision to lure him there to put him in danger to get to Obi-Wan I HATE BEING RIGHT.

OH CRIPES.

OH JEEZ.

DO NOT HURT EZRA.

Oh shit hi Maul.

Just summarily disposed of the raiders once they were no longer of use to him.

No big.

See, this is why I don’t understand the people who cry about Maul having so much character development.

He’s still a muderdick who uses people like tools to get what he wants.

He only marginally cared about Ezra because he thought Ezra was gonna be swayed over to his side and now that Ezra’s proven he ain’t gonna do that Maul has no compunctions siccing Tusken Raiders on him to bait Obi-Wan.

So like a Sith.

Anyway, Ezra and Chopper are now stranded in the Tatooine desert, how fun.

Uhhh gughhg ghgg DON’T DO THAT MAUL, DON’T BE CREEPY.

Shades of “Visions and Voices”. Nice.

HA HA HA HA HA THAT SIGH OF EXASPERATION FROM CHOPPER.

“DAMMIT ORGANIC UNIT EZRA BRIDGER YOU ARE GONNA BE THE DEATH OF ME.”

*le follows*

And cue sandstorm of course.

I hate you Maul. I hate you so much. Why u do this to my blueberry?

Just... just no hesitation. He didn’t think twice about stranding Ezra in the desert and putting his life in danger to take advantage of Obi-Wan’s compassion.

No, I’m not over it. Even with everything I thought was gonna happen this episode I DID NOT FORESEE THIS.

WHAT AN ASS.

Ohhhhh oh Ezra no baby no.

Ezra! D:

Chopper!

Ow my heart, Taylor’s acting in this scene is so good.

Side note: holy COW the sand dusting! I love how it coats everything.

Also:

OW MY HEART.

Ezra “I screwed up again” Bridger everyone.

*sobs quietly*

MAUL, LEAVE EZRA THE HELL ALONE, STOP MAKING HIM HATE HIMSELF. OH FORCE.

*sobbing not so quietly now*

Ezra...

...

OBI-WAN!

i’M SORRY I NEED A MINUTE IJUSTLAFKSNL--

*GROSS SOBBING*

*blows nose*

I NEED A MINUTE.

...

Okay, back.

AAHHHHHHHF HHHAAAAA OF COURSE OBI-WAN KNOWS HIM.

Many talks with Yoda I presume.

Watch all the fanboys whine about how this messes with canon. Ha ha no.

Obi-Wan is on record for lying to Luke about Vader. I think it’s quite within the realm of possibility that he conveniently failed to mention Ezra.

Him and Yoda.

Sorry y’all can’t deal with the fact that the old wise mentor figures lied to their trainee.

The voice they got for Obi-Wan is SO GOOD.

“Where you should never have been.” HAAAAAAAA.

Small little jab at the canon purists there.

Also, let it be known that Obi-Wan is also on record for stretching the truth to Ezra.

You know damn well that Luke is the key to destroying the Sith, Kenobi.

But he’s gonna go and make it out like Maul was manipulating the answer the whole time.

Which... isn’t exactly wrong, just not the whole truth.

SO like Obi-Wan.

Oh HI HIIIIIII.

HELLO.

YOU’RE STILL CREEPY MAUL.

PLEASE GO AWAY.

Obi-Wan making Ezra leave, aww.

Go blueberry! Go home!

“See you soon, apprentice.” UUGGGHGGHHHGG GUHHHHG NO.

DON’T YOU DARE, MAUL.

Ohhhhhh, this is good stuff.

Such great dialogue.

Ooooooooh, Maul threatened Luke.

Bad idea. Baaaaaad idea.

He’s going down.

oh hO HO HO HO HO HO!

This is it guys!

...Wow, that was quick.

Woooooooow okay.

Was kinda hoping for more lightsaber flurries.

Obi-Wan just smacked him down like nothing.

The fanboys and fangirls are gonna be piiiiiiiiised lol.

Actually I kinda like this.

Was hoping Maul would go down like a pussy.

...Almost feel bad for him too, well done show.

Not a lot of fandoms can make me sorry for the villain like that.

Okay, let’s go back to Ezra.

AWWWWWW spacefamily feels!

I love it.

LUKE CAMEO! :D

Aaaaand gorgeous sad music to close us out.

I... I actually really loved it! Maybe a smidge disappointed we didn’t get a longer lightsaber battle but then, this was never really about that was it? The time for revenge and grudge matches is past, it’s time for hope and new beginnings.

Think they told a much more meaningful story this way.

...”Zero Hour” is gonna hurt.
