I am not a huge reader of fanfic these days, because I have no time. This whole "getting back into belly dance" thing has stolen a huge chunk of my fanfic reading time, because it's really hard to practice your dancing while reading about fandom adventures.
So is this an anthology you are submitting for a themed Big Bang or something? Because I'm trying to resist the urge to tell you to say "fuck it" and go for the Rey and Leia-themed gold here.
Also, holy shit, if the Force is an eldritch horror, it's almost two dueling Eldritch horrors - or one really fucking psychotic Eldritch horror - on another plane using its most connected descendants to fight a proxy battle wherein each side tries to destroy the other in the most horrifying way, and it thereby tempts people and literally pits friends, relatives, and lovers against each other in its proxy battles. To decide the fate of the Force and therefore the galaxy and/or universe.
That's possibly the most horrific interpretation of the Force ever, even worse than an utterly impersonal mystic field that doesn't care if you're dark or light, and. I utterly love it. (My Hathor icon for this one. Even if it's a Star Wars post. Because it's just. that. terrible.)
(It's not at all weird, but super, super flattering! Thank you! I adore your fic equally in return, and am excited that you're into one of my oldest fandoms. That's one of the biggest compliments anyone could ever pay my writing! I should put you on my original writing filter. Do you mind? I'm overdue for a post on it, though I do need to come up with something better than "were there women in Charlemagne's court that history recorded other than his wives, daughters, and mistresses?" ...I have a vampire original character who started out as the wife of one of the noblemen, but I would love to be able to attach her to a historical figure.)
