Personal Fanon meme

[owl]

Gakked from everyone, practically:

Name a character and I'll give you three or more "facts" from my personal fanon about that character.

My fandoms: Doctor Who, Star Wars, Harry Potter, BSG, assorted SF and children's books (check my interests), probably some others I've forgotten....

Oh crap, have I failed to review again? Sorry - I loved Rebel Heart when I read it and am planning to have a good long re-read now I've found it again. I really liked the feeling of immersion in the universe of the first three films, and it scratched a fic itch for me that doesn't get gratified much - the 'ordinaryish person's story woven around events I'm already familiar with' fic. I love those terribly, and they're so hard to find, possibly because people think they're going to get accused of Mary Sueing if they do it.

Also I ship Luke/Keitin like a very shippy thing.

I wondered what Keitin would make of a benevolent emperor!

When did you first come across it? Before we friended each other?

Yes, me too. Some day I'm going to get around to a sequel, but that's harder because I've run out of familiar events. I've also been working lately on an expansion and revision of Rebel Heart itself.

Heh heh heh. Whatever gave you that idea? :-P

That should probably be put in the rather backhanded context of me generally really not warming to peoples' OC Luke-partners. I was never that sure even about the one Barbara Hambly wrote, and usually she can persuade me of pretty much anything, and I never had any time for Mara Jade at all, possibly because she just reminded me far too much of the string of ubercompetent, uberfoxy and ubertortured characters one of the players in my Tuesday games had a string of in the early 90s. Keiten just wandered in and was like 'Hi, I'm canon', though.

I definitely found it through your LJ but I can't remember whether we'd friended each other or not - I think I was just on a random 'oooh, people who have Antonia Forest as an interest' trawl.

No, I never bought Luke's wEUmen either; Callista, Hambly's one, seemed like she'd wandered in from a rather differnet SF universe, and she was the best of them. Mara's like something a roleplayer dreamed up in the middle of the night, yes.

Keiten just wandered in and was like 'Hi, I'm canon', though.

You've almost persuaded me to go off and write "Luke and Keiti Live Together in a Nicle Little Temple and Have Ten Jedi Babies" *hnrr hnrrr*

Seriously, I don't know why SW hasn't got a uterine replicator when they're so good with prosthetic hands and stuff. (Doylist answer: It was invented by a man, and then continued by more men to eager to get to the CRASH BANG bits to do any thinking).

Hee! Little Shmi, Little Bayle, Little... uh, did Leia's adoptive mother ever get a name beyohd 'Mrs Organa'?

Maybe they were invented by Darth Plageous before he moved on to 'Violating Medical Ethics By Means Of The Dark Side Of The Force' and therefore got tainted by association?

Breha. Little Ben, Little Anakin, Little Aunt Beru, Little Owen...

Possibly. The clone guys in AotC seem to use them, so yeah. But then there's bound to be a GFFA equivalent of Victoria Beckham who would go for it anyway... Actually if they'd had something like that in the EU, it could have been interesting, instead of Skywalker relative #534 falls to the Dark Side.

[ankaret.livejournal.com]

Are there a lot of Skywalker relatives going bad in the EU? I haven't read much of it at all, mostly books borrowed at random from friends, and I gave up after I started realising how very much I didn't believe in Han having a previous True Love before Leia. In my head she was the One (uh, not in any Matrixy sense) and that's that.

[owl]

Han and Leia's kids seem to be going through a revolving door into the Dark Side, when they aren't being killed off.

In my head she was the One

Yeah, mine too.
