okay listen I have never been so distressed reading a fic as to actually throw up before so Cover Your Eyes was an exciting first for me

Couldn't stop reading though. Amazing work. Still shaking with it.

<3<3<3 answering these both here lol. but thank you so much, I absolutely took it as a compliment :) my intention in a fic is always to make someone feel something, whether that be grief or distress or joy or relief, I just want people to read my writing and have an emotional reaction to it, y'know? that's what tells me I have succeeded with a fic, so I'm glad I have succeeded with CYE, that one was definitely tough to write.

your comments are all giving me life, by the way, I APPRECIATE YOU

I used to be on ff.n, have some really good memories from there, but when I tried crossposting my new stuff there after a few years hiatus I just got swarmed with bots, so that's Dead Internet now as far as I'm concerned.

So now I'm on AO3.

I have never done one of these before so this is gonna be a trip but I'm so excited.

Like, from the summary alone I'm hauling in Star Wars sheet music from the library and considering variations on both of their themes as far as I can identify them, maybe mix in some of the bass lines from a band I write all my own Disaster Lineage fic to.

I'm no John Williams but I have access to Star Wars scores and a church organ I know how to use.

Anyway that's one idea.

I LOVE your whump. It's so great. Soliloquy in Red lives in my head rent free. Swan Song fucking slew me. Just... unbelievable.

I do not even a tiny bit know which if either of your Tumblrs you use but I think I just humiliated myself begging the other one to briefly consider if a kind of art that is not strictly drawing would qualify to claim your WIP BB. Because that's a thing.

I use both tumblrs! That one is my writing sideblog :)

but art that isn't strictly drawing is allowed in the WIPBB! I think they allow stuff like fanvids, fanmixes, gifsets, and other art that isn't specifically drawing, like banners or cover art, or even non-digital stuff? (unclear on that one)

if you have other questions about the claims process, their tumblr is here: wipbigbang.tumblr.com

(and oh my gosh its YOU, HI, I love you thank you for all your wonderful comments :D I'm glad you like my whump)

WIP Big Bang Claims (Round 3): Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy

Form and instructions can be found at link below!

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy #144 Title: The Burdens We Carry/The Burdens We Share Pairing/Characters: Gen: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn Rating: Mature | M Warnings/Tags: Graphic Violence, Non-con/Rape Non-graphic rape/non-con, discussions of rape/non-con, minor character death Summary: Part 1 (The Burdens We Carry): Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are sent on a mission to the planet Korthill. But not everything on Korthill is as it seems, and the pair are thrown into a conflict years in the making. When their speeder is bombed, and the two of them are captured by anti-Republic extremists, Obi-Wan is forced to make a choice--between the life of his grievously injured Master and sacrificing himself to the brutality of their captors.

Part 2 (The Burdens We Share): Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon have made it back to Coruscant after the disastrous mission to Korthill, but their hardship isn't over yet. Obi-Wan is afflicted with mysterious seizures, and he doesn't seem to remember everything that happened on Korthill. Both of them are forced to reckon with the decisions made under duress.

Dave Filoni says that Korkie Kryze is the son of Satine’s brother.

It is common opinion that this is bantha-spit.

I propose a harmonious solution.

Qui-Gon, trying to be empathetic: I sense you have come to…care greatly for the Duchess.

Obi-Wan, deflecting (aka lying through his teeth): She is like a sister to me.

Satine, narrating: And I resolved to tease him about that particular comment for the rest of our natural lives.

Trying not to laugh out loud in the office at that mental image because I've already scared my coworker once today by swearing at a paper too vehemently

But unfortunately I tried and I did not :(

It's such a good song for that.

On at least one occasion Qui-Gon Jinn has been blind drunk in a cantina somewhere very far from Coruscant and sent Tahl a message consisting solely of a crackly recording of a terrible covers band of the type that plays in cantinas playing something that sounds suspiciously like The Proclaimers' 500 Miles.

Uh oh one of the codywan week prompts has burrowed in my head get ready for medieval au shenanigans

I'm told my first 'sentence' (age two) was 'sloppy workmanship daddy' because he'd been patiently pointing out the poorly re-caulked screw holes on the kitchen cabinets and saying 'sloppy workmanship, Delta', every time we were in the kitchen, starting from when I was born. Drove Mum bonkers.

Engineers raise weird kids.

I love the Penny the Deals Warlock stories and have come to offer two random "I am the spawn of academics" stories. Specifically, the spawn of a comp sci and sociology prof who is now going into

(pause to build tension)

physics.

Anyway, two funny tidbits.

For a career day thing in pre-school, my comp sci prof dad taught the class to count "like a programmer" aka in hexadecimal or base 16. I still remember how to count in hexadecimal today.

And the next one involved the APUSH exam. My mom was driving me to school the day of the exam and we had a conversation in the car about how I shouldn't get too political, and to basically "assume the grader is a middle aged woman from Kansas named Karen."

For the document based question, where you are given a handful of sources and have to use them to write an essay and argue some point, I was given a restricted covenant, something about the GI bill, stuff about the creation of the highway system in the US (and some of the associated impacts on historically black neighborhoods), and a few other things.

My thesis for that question? The post WWII economic boom created the inner city. I even talked about the effects this has today, you know, the environmental racism and everything. I left that exam, and when my mom picked me up, I basically said "ok, don't be mad, but here's what I got for the documents and here's my thesis."

She agreed that they were setting us up for an argument like that, and I'm pretty sure she was proud.

Anyway, that's the funny academic spawn stories. A lot of the more recent ones are basically just me using my cultural capital for good and bemoaning the fact that I'm going into academia (jokingly, but if its about the state of funding, im not)

wait I wanna learn to count in hexadecimal!

Also this is so cute I love when parents have long lasting POSITIVE affects on their kids
