Three prompts, one looooong fill. I'd like to write more fills but RL is a butt.

Sometimes I get that feeling as soon as I hit the Post Comment button. I've ended up filling a lot of my prompts at other kink memes. Haven't on this one yet, though.

Re: Fic kudos on AO3

Out of curiosity, I went to see what TFA fic had the most kudos and it was a 12 word fic bashing Rey/Kylo. Over 4,000 kudos.

So, yeah, I take kudos with a big grain of salt.

Whoever is running it is going a bit overboard with the rules imo.

The second is that if you read the rules, your story can contain abusive material, it just needs to be acknowledged for what it is, come with a warning and not be romanticized (which means that if there is abuse between two people in a romantic relationship, it needs to be shown as a negative thing inside that relationship, not a display of strength/passion/etc).

So, essentially, it comes down to context. Are you writing [Rey/Kylo; Poe/Kylo, etc] into a relationship immediately after the interrogation scene? Definitely go over that with me because right off the bat it raises some flags.


I appreciate saying writers need to put warnings on their fics, but......idk, as much as I'm against people romanticizing abuse, this sounds like the mod trying to control what people write because it's not what they'd like to see.

Agreed. I don't expect to still be writing TFA fic by October. I'll probably have moved on to something else by that time.

3-4 prompts per fill.

They got a lot of wank because of those rules and while I can partially understand the intention behind the rule, it does come off as very sanctimonious and SJW.

Finn/Poe Big Bang?

[personal profile] blackruzsa 2016-01-26 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
I figure there's a good number of people who ship stormpilot or finn/poe and it seems like there's already a Star Wars Big Bang and a Reylo Big Bang being put together, so would y'all be interested in having a Stormpilot Big Bang?

I put this idea forward on tumblr as well since I'm not sure if others are planning this already.

But since I haven't seen any I think it'd be a good idea to do it now!

details in fics

(Anonymous) 2016-01-26 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Are there any resources for researching certain small details in the star wars universe? Things like swear words, religions, medicines, food, holopads/vids/messages verses physical photographs, books, paper?

Also, out of curiosity, are there any details like these you've seen in fics that you find out of place or annoying?

Poe's Rank

(Anonymous) 2016-01-26 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I've heard that someone posted info & pics from the visual dictionary about Poe's rank-including him in his Commander uniform, but I can not for the life of me find them. Could anyone possibly link me?

There's wookiepedia, it's got a lot of stuff from the expanded universe.

Re: details in fics

(Anonymous) 2016-01-26 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I use Wookieepedia for research purposes.

It doesn't necessarily draw me out of the fic, but I do dislike when people use any variation of god/gods/goddess/maker/etc. if no religion or religious preferences have been discussed in canon.

Pet names

(Anonymous) 2016-01-26 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm interested in what pet names/terms of endearment everyone sees characters using for one another

Re: Pet names

It's hard to think of a name more endearing than Poe.

Re: Star Wars Big Bang

Honestly, I think that rule is intended more to fend off wank about Reylo. The hate for that pairing is already incredibly OTT (villain/hero is not new, even incest - I'm guessing none of these people wank so hard over Thor/Loki) so something needs to be put in place to acknowledge both the people who ship Reylo and the people who don't. Even with rules stating that abuse is allowed as long as it isn't romanticized they still instantly got a "Reylo is abusive by default so it should be banned" comment. It doesn't mean hate sex and non-con aren't allowed, just that "non-con that immediately leads to a happy ending" isn't allowed. I agree the rule isn't ideal (it should be something more to do with mandatory warnings, rather than an outright ban) but I also get why the mod felt they had to put something like that in place to deal with potential pairing wank.

I just really love Poe calling people "buddy." I don't know if that counts as a pet name, but it's cute.

Can I say how much I hate Poe calling Finn "sweetheart"? Where did that even come from? I've seen it in multiple fics and hate it more each time.
