Just Letting You Know, SW Fandom
Jul. 1st, 2011 08:01 pmStar Wars Fandom, we need to have words.
Look, I've been in fandom for awhile. I know how this is supposed to work. But allow me to break it down for you. Let's say you have two characters, Dude A and Dude B. Let's also say that Dude A and Dude B are the very best of Imperial storm-trooper fighting friends. And that Dude B has demonstrated a willingness to disregard all questions of personal safety and self-avowed jerkitude to save Dude A's life.
When your canon takes those characters and gives them the following conversation?
Dude A: So, what's your excuse for coming after me this time?
Dude B: what do you mean?
Dude A: You can't claim it was the money this time.
Dude B: I'll figure something out.
Dude A: *laughing* I bet you will.
If they have this conversation while they are huddled together for warmth inside an emergency shelter, because Dude B went against direct orders from his commanding officer to run out into a planet-wide blizzard to rescue Dude A? THIS IS YOUR CUE TO WRITE PORN, STAR WARS FANDOM. YOU ARE DOING THIS WRONG.
This has been brought to you by the Department of "Seriously, where is all my Han/Luke blanketfic and h/c? I don't get it!"
(I would also settle for the fic where Luke, on his own for the first time in his life and surrounded by people who think he's the greatest thing since laser guns, is sleeping his way through the greater part of the Hoth Rebel Base. But maybe that's just me.)
