I mean, I have lots of feelings about Star Wars, LOTS OF THEM, and did I read that 23k of reylo? Probably not if it was earlier this year, when I was trying to recover from the hell of last year (and also they blocked ao3 at work, the fuckers), but I would totally read the shit out of that and should look it up on my phone, because I'm sick and don't even know why I'm here at work.
I ignore SW fandom at large and engage with about .001% of it because I curate my fandom experience to be "not a trash fire," since I came out of Usenet and giant e-servers in the 90s (I'm old and jaded and really don't mind admitting that) and therefore feel entirely guilt-free about enjoying only the company of people I like.
Universe-building is AMAZING and my favorite thing to do for a fandom, which is why I AU so much and ended up hacking everything into little bits and rebuilding it. (Also why I ended up taking my vampire SGA AU offline to turn into original fic and expanding from 24k to, uhm-- 45k and counting?)
Uh. You said. Amilyn/Leia/Rey. Excuse me. I will be over here recovering from distraction now. Have you perchance written this? I haven't seen it drop in your ao3 anything, but I may have missed it. I have lots of busy-making hobbies.
You could always write that separately, because the actual concept of Eldritch Force consciously choosing pawns and Rey, Leia, and Ben all making attempts to break free of being pawns of the Force and going about it different ways is an AMAZING concept and. Just yes. How can I encourage this more?
The joy of being a chronic multishipper the way I am is that I can happily shift gears on pairings. At what point did Leia embrace Sith teachings? Because if it's at a specific point in her history, then Rey trailing after her with sad eyes is less realistic, rather than more. (This kind of thing is honest to goodness some of my favorite parts of fic plotting, so if you already have it decided, feel free to just infodump. Otherwise, I enjoy asking questions and working things like this out.)
(I skipped the hell out of dance class last night, which is bad, because we have a really complicated choreography, but fever, congestion, taxes, and I'm skipping the hell out of class tonight too, because same. I don't really feel good at ALL, and I'm already at work because I'm stubborn.)
(Also I added you to the filter! Which I need to make a post on. If I could get my brain together about my darling infatuated vampire and the detective he's obsessed with.)
