I have virtually no memory of who Guy is. Isn't he villainous? If so, are the people writing the G-rated fluff high?
Yeah, I think part of Star Wars fandom's problem is male-to-female ratio among fans. The tie-in novels (which are almost all written by dudes) are great -- I stopped reading new ones about 8 years ago because they were just getting ridiculous, but I re-read my old ones all the time -- but they do not meet my needs in the area of cute boys talking about their feelings and maybe kissing a little. And where there are female fans, most of them are young and way more into the prequels. So I can have all the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan I can eat, but nothing involving Luke at all. (Mostly all I demand is that Luke be involved, but I am especially partial to Luke/Wedge (what I am writing now) and Luke/Biggs (possibly hinted at in what I am writing now).)
I'm writing it in teeny little ff.net-sized "chapters" (maybe I will even post it on ff.net! I only ever posted one thing there and then got ashamed, it was kind of an embarrassing fic, but I did get a couple reviews and that was sort of exciting). So far I am on the fifth one.
(Could I use more parentheses in this comment? YES I COULD ()()()().)
