#me dipping back into Star Wars fic in 2024?

[a-murmur-of-a-prayer]

Snippet Sunday

Satine froze. She knew very well who was standing behind her; because only now did he allow himself to move closer, until she could feel the heat of the body at her back, but not the body itself. 

“Obi-Wan,” she said. “I would have thought you’d be forward enough to announce your presence.” 

“What you're looking at is classified information,” Obi-Wan said, removing his hand. 

Satine turned around, so that they were standing almost nose to nose. 

“Is it,” she said. “I had no idea. Anakin told me I could go wherever I pleased.” 

Obi-Wan closed his eyes for a long moment, looking unbearably exhausted. “Of course Anakin said that. You never knew him…before. And in case you haven’t figured this out, he likes to cause problems.” 

“I did gather that,” Satine said. 

Oh, no. Now there was no more easy conversation. 

The air grew immediately awkward.

Hi, Kass!

OC creators that have helped me through 2023:

You, @themaradwrites @goldheartedchaoticdisaster and @cecexwrites have probably done the most to help me this year. When branching out into the OC Community, I connected to you all, primarily through the OC Creator Bingo. You have all become good friends to me, inspired me, been lovely commenters (both on my fics and in replying to my comments on yours), introduced me to new fandoms, sent me asks, and talked me through elements of my fics.

@shrinkthisviolet helped me dip my toe back into the Star Wars fandom, which was one of my first and treasured fandoms. I never would have watched the Obi-Wan Kenobi series without her. Lucy Kenobi was probably the first Star Wars OC that I read.

@come-along-pond and @the-time-lord-oracle have helped me (whether they knew it or not) by getting back into reading Doctor Who fanfiction, revisiting one of my favorite Doctors, and inspiring me to create my own OC for the fandom, which has made the 60th Anniversary of our show even better.

I have had some amazing fics by you all and still have more that I want to read from you.

OC fics of others that helped make 2023 a little better:

Shatterpoint series by shrinkthisviolet

Prince of Ruin by cecexwrites

The Designated Driver Series by the-time-lord-oracle

The Themii Series by the-time-lord-oracle

Guardians of the Galaxy: Remix by themaradwrites

MEMORIES by come-along-pond

Safe & Sound by arrthurpendragon

bad boy (no more) series by @avatarskywalker78

OCs of others that made 2023 not so crummy:

Lucy Kenobi (shrinkthisviolet)

Coco Selwyn (cecexwrites)

Elaine Barnes (AvatarSkywalker78)

Nicky Connors (AvatarSkywalker78)

Shareen Costello (the-time-lord-oracle)

Gazelle (the-time-lord-oracle)

Riley Black (themaradwrites)

Casey Carlisle (themaradwrites)

Poppy Watcher (come-along-pond)

Project some love into 2024 for another OC creator or fic:

I am hoping in 2024 that @munstysmind gets to revisit her Hawaii Five-0 story and that @millie-55 will have more time to write.

As for myself, I am hoping to get back to neglected OC stories Is This Love? and Never Knew. I had some burnout and writer's block in the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai fandom, but I'm hoping to overcome it in 2024. Julie and Alyssa deserve to have their stories told and finished, though I doubt they'll be finished by this time next year. And I would like to start posting Molly's story and writing Violet's.

for the year in review ask: 1, 6, 12, 19, 20, 25 (but for 2024) :D (you don't have to answer all, whatever you feel comfortable answering)

From the writing year in review asks.

Thank you sooo much for indulging me💕 answers below the cut

1)What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? How did it turn out? Would you do it again?

I’ve been trying a non linear timeline for my obikin serial killer au (Criminal Minds). It’s…going. I like that it’s letting me hilight certain themes and parallels between Obi-Wan’s and Anakin’s experiences that might not come out if read linearly, but it’s tricky to figure out. There’s too many variables of how I can arrange things, when to reveal them. I might do it again if a situation specifically calls for it, but not just for funsies.

6)Did you write for a new fandom or ship this year?

I did both actually! In Star Wars I dipped my toes, very lightly, into some Quin/Obi. Would love to do more. I love them so much. I also recently wrote two smutty one shots for Fellow Travelers! I’ll probably add a few more. This show is still turning over in my mind.

12) What were you go-to writing songs?

None!! I write in silence.

19) What's something that surprised you while you were working on a fic? Did it change the story?

I’m not a very detailed planner so it’s very often that a chapter or story goes in a different way than I first intended.

I was surprised by how much positive feedback Can’t Buy Me Love got. It’s making me try to stick with it because I haven’t had any clear ideas and might otherwise have let this one really fall by the wayside, but I’m trying to find some words and add to it because I feel like a lot of people are waiting for it.

20) What did you use to write? (programs, paper & pen, etc.)

Mostly google docs. BUT I got a kindle scribe for Christmas and I think it’s going to be a great tool for me. It makes me just write it out without constantly going back and rewriting what I currently have. It’s way more efficient for me and then I can send it to google docs for editing

25. What’s something you want to write in 2024?

I have a million ideas at all times but I’ll name 3 y’all probably maybe don’t know about yet

A threesome, even though I have no confidence in my ability to write one. Lol I’m going to put together some kind of threesome challenge for posting around Valentine’s Day - because that’s what I want to read lol - so I figure I should write one to submit myself.

A cheating fic I think. It’s been on my mind a lot and I haven’t been willing to commit to it. Probably because I have a hard time making Obi-Wan make bad choices.

And related to that, hopefully a sith Obi-Wan fic - whether a one shot or a much more lengthy idea remains to be seen.
