Original fiction, Luke Skywalker, Han/Luke, feminism, Star Wars.
Original fiction means me writing my own worlds, not someone else's. it means having a booth at SF coventions, and sitting on panels. it means rejection slipps, and contracts to mail, royalty checks that make me squee and sales numbers that make me go "huh?"
Luke Skywalker, guided patricidal missile of the SW'verse. Here is a kid with untapped, untrained power, taken in by an old man with a grudge (after massive trauma) and essentially trained to kill his father for his mentor's revenge. And all he ever really wanted to do was fly.
Han/Luke is something I've been seeing for years and couldn't figure out. The hangar scene in Empire left me all weird-feeling. I came back to it after the slash goggles and went ZOMG! This is so obvious!
feminism...that's a tough one. At base it's the radical notion that women are human beings. We come with minds and dreams and ambitions of our own. That men see us as nothing mroe than appliance that dispense caretyaking ans sex and babies infuriates me.
Star Wars changed my life. It hit at a time when I was in need of myth. I was going to a Methodist church, exploring Norse and ZGreco-Roman myths and then my dad took me to see this. here was every fairy tale I'd ever dreamed of, in big bright living color. Princess, wizard, eveil knights, and all kinds of excitement. As I grew older, it grew too, with the EU and then fanfic. It shaped my ethics, my religious beliefs and even some of my mannerisms. We do not speak of the prequels.
