Ok, flist

Right, I'm in the mood to point and mock, so where is all the Mara Jade death wank?

There has to be some happening somewhere.

Go visit jedifreac's LJ. She's got a cute parody of the book in there somewhere.

where is all the Mara Jade death wank?

You know, I was JUST looking at one of the latest books and wondering why she still appeared to be 30 years old.

*hits Wikipedia to see what happened*

Karen Traviss killed Mara Jade? Damn, and I didn't think it was possible for Karen Traviss to get any more awesome.

so where is all the Mara Jade death wank? I wish I knew - if you find it point me to it! I've seen a couple of folks who were upset about it but nothing like I was expecting.

I say good riddance to her. I gave up on the EU after that crappy Courtshit (not a typo) of Princess Leia but I am tempted to read this just to laugh. LOL

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

Personally I think it's because she's the worlds Biggest Mary Sue but that could just be me.

:)

[owl]

Oh, you don't like her Red-Gold Majesty either? Huzzah!

[ankaret.livejournal.com]

She reminds me terribly of the 'AND EVERYONE IN THE UNIVERSE ADMIRES ME AND IS STUNNED BY MY WIT AND FORCE PROWESS AND I MARRY LUKE' phase I went through when I was about nine. But, well, I was nine. What's Timothy Zahn's excuse?

[owl]

Apparently in SW, 60 is the new 40. Doesn't explain why Mara looks 20, though.

[owl]

Thanks. Is the bit about Ben's shoes really in it? I am so glad I gave up on the EU.

[owl]

I was expecting mega-wank as the bashers gloated and the fen rose up in arms. Possibly the bashers are gloating in SEKRIT, or perhaps fandom is sick to the teeth of the Mara Wars. (There's hope for the Harmoanians yet, perhaps.)

I gave up on the EU long ago as well, but I can't help feeling a little glad a period has been put to her existence. :)

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

Wait, wait ... there are other bashers? LOL

Sorry, I just loathe her and aside from a few people I've never found others who agree with me. LOL If they're gloating in sekrit I am bummed - I want to be a part of it. LOLOL

[owl]

Perhaps he is SEKRITLY nine? Or perhaps it is impossible to write HUMAN WOMANZ for Luke without her turning into a massive Mary Sue.

[ankaret.livejournal.com]

If he's SEKRITLY nine, that would kind of explain why Mara doesn't seem to age either. Maybe they're both Immortal Highlanders, those don't age, and are prone to falling for stupid plot devices, which would fit. Did anyone cut off her head and make sure?

[owl]

Well, I expect Soul of the Jedi must be gloating, but their boards have been locked for years now. And possibly gloatation is happening under flock somewhere.

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

The last time I went to that site the boards were pretty dead - I was logged in so ... I think people left and went elsewhere. :(

[owl]

Not sure, the summary I read was not all that detailed and more inclined to the lolarious. Knowing the EU, the book consisted of unintentionally hilarious sultanas in a matrix of sawdust.

[ladyelaine.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't remember! It was a good book, other than the ongoing someone-get-Jacen's-head-out-of-his-ass thing.

[sreya.livejournal.com]

What? Mara's dead?



*jumping for joy* WOOHOO!!!!! LUKE HAS BEEN FREED FROM THE EVIL CURSE!!!!!!!!!

I never thought it'd happen. Wow. Hope she was moon'd, too. Or Leia finally let her have it. Or her beauty products finally poisoned her. Or.... heck, anything. :~p

[sreya.livejournal.com]

HA!!! That was really funny, so long as I don't think about the fact that's it's based on a real book that people paid money to read. :~p

[owl]

Perhaps we could start a wank ourselves?

Perhaps SW fandom is too diffuse (compared to HP, the wankiest fandom in the world, it doesn't have much of a centre), or perhaps only 18 die-hard Mara-lovers are continuing to read the EU.

[owl]

Yes, she dies in the latest bEUk, Sacrifice.

Jacen kills her in the process of becoming a Sith, unfortunately. Do they never get bored of the revolving door of the Dark Side and the galaxy almost being destroyed at 3-year intervals?

[sreya.livejournal.com]

Heh, I would think the Dark Side would be insulted that Jacen killed her, and kick him back over to the good side. :~p

At least the mutilation of the Solo family finally came in handy!

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

I just got this comment ... Hahaa, start a wank. I'm tempted to make up a sock and register at TFN ... ;)

[owl]

Go for it! :-P

[owl]

Poor deluded book-buyers....
