Eeep.

This was going to be a post where I did that wish-list whatsit for the Christmas exchanges that everyone is setting up now, before wandering around my flist and finding people to swap cards/pressies with, but The Sick thing has made me grumpy and less focused. Instead of doing actual sensible things, all I want to do is wrap myself in blankets, have something hot to eat, and read Star Wars fanfic. Particularly with the weather going mental lately - hail and all, WTF?

So, that's been put off a little longer, alas. The computer seems to be being a bit slow to update to the next lot of broadband, too. Odd, that.

In any case, my Awesome Awesome thing arrived. More about this later on, perhaps.

Oh, and mina_de_malfois has been updated, so more reading goodness. Definitely check out the newest footnotes, m'kay?

On the subject of reading matter: Anyone up to rec me some more Star Wars fic? I haven't the faintest idea why, but I am drifting in that fandomly direction again.

I just find it a little exasperating that it was a fucking huge deal that Vader came back from the Dark Side, and the fact that half the Jedi Order in later times seems to be goin through the revolving door in the Force with little or no consequences.

In the end, the EU is just another set of fic to me, really, and not my favourite - though it does have it's moments.

You do have a point there.

This would be the point (if I shouldn't have mentioned it sooner) to mention that I discovered fanfic (in general) much later than I discovered the EU. I only really got onto the internet in a major way when I got to Uni. At which point I'd been reading these books for four years already. Up 'till then, I had no idea really that this 'fan fiction' thing existed, and I'd bought into this 'official' fic.

It does have its moments, and at the very least it's always properly spelled, formatted and with correct grammar. :-)
