DISCUSSION/OFF-TOPIC POST

Use this post for things that are neither prompts nor questions for the mod.

Why do you ship (pairing)?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-04 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
As in, what draws you to them? What is it about them that makes you feel tingly inside?

Personally, I'm a Finn/Rey shipper. I loved their dynamic in the movie -- it's funny and charming and I think the film did a stellar job in portraying them as equals. They help each other out, and they wouldn't have made it out of Jakku without each other. They're an amazing team and their friendship growth seemed pretty organic to me. I also can't deny that Ridley and Boyega's chemistry is pretty damn good. I can't wait to see what happens with them next film.

I find it frustrating that the mods here arbitrarily freeze certain things

without clearly stating why or what to do next time. "Be nice" is the vaguest rule, and I feel like its application in the off topic post (where we're discussing and open to debate) should be different from its application in the prompt post (where we should be much more tightly policed to keep people from feeling like they're scared to write).

Name for Space Spanish?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-05 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I know that Galactic Basic/Standard = English for all intents and purposes, but as far as I can tell from Wookiepedia there doesn't seem to be a Star Wars-universe name for Spanish.

Am I just missing something? Or, failing that, what do you think would be a good way to Star Wars-ify other real-world languages?

SW Human Lifespans

(Anonymous) 2016-02-05 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
How long are average human lifespans in the SW universe? I've tried researching it online, but I can't really find any details.

Speaking of the rules

(Anonymous) 2016-02-06 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel a bit bad, but I admit I am glad for the "NO PROMPTS FEATURING CHARACTERS UNDER 18 IN SEXUAL SITUATIONS" rule because so many of my other fandoms tend to be overrun by underage stories. So part of me is ashamed to be glad is not something I have to worry about while scrolling through the meme.

Star Wars: The Battle of the Bands Edition

(Anonymous) 2016-02-07 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen some lovely turns of phrase prompt/fill/and fandom-wise.
What are your favorite that would also serve as band names?
I find myself partial to "Angry Space Gingers". You?

Why Puffin?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-08 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Why is Puffin a smushname for Finn/Poe? Poe's name doesn't make a Puh sound, it makes a Poh sound. It doesn't make any audible sense.

Unexpected

(Anonymous) 2016-02-09 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What fics/fills have you found yourself unexpectedly enjoying? Previous notps, kinks you didn't think you'd like, surprise aus, ect?

Can fic writers specify who tops or bottoms?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-11 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I've hesitated to read Kylux fic lately since a new fic writer has appeared and always writers Hux as a bottom. A stereotypical bottom no less. I'd like to avoid that.

The dance move names! Lando! How can this be made into a prompt!!?

Hoarding Prompts

(Anonymous) 2016-02-11 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Does anyone else ever want to ~be the change you want to see~ re: posting prompts with pairings and kinks that you like, but then you can't quite bring yourself to post them because you feel weirdly possessive about them? Like 'but no I can't post that, what if I want to write that?'

It's somewhat unproductive because I'd love to add more prompts for my less common pairing, but then I'm too much of a prompt hoarder to actually do it.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-12 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Finn/Poe dominate AO3, yet Kylux is probably the favourite on the kink meme. That seems strange to me. Why is this?

Pics?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-12 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Anyone have any of those combination face manips of what Finn and Poe's lovechild would look like? Or anyone else's? I swear I saw one once bit google is failing me.

why am I making this choice? why???

(Anonymous) 2016-02-12 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
I have four or five fills for prompts started in Notepad. Some of them are Kylux, some of them aren't, some of them are modern AUs, some of them aren't...

...every single one of them is from Hux's perspective. Every. Single. One.

I didn't even think about this, it just seems like it makes sense every time I start a prompt???

Does anyone remember these interviews?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-12 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Either this one (http://poedamnerons.tumblr.com/post/138877450191/who-is-captain-phasma) or this one (http://poey.tumblr.com/post/138611094650/so-daisy-how-would-you-describe-your-character)? I've been scouring youtube and google for the last couple days and can't find anything. I've never seen them!

Some cool resource stuff for eventual fills

Stumbled upon this while doing my research, maybe it will help others not familiar with the Star Wars Universe

Pulled pork side dishes

(Anonymous) 2016-02-12 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
So a hungry anon on the meme accidentally posted "side dishes for pulled pork." It got some cute misfires, but I was fascinated by the variety of suggested side dishes for pulled pork!

To me, traditional side dishes for pulled pork (which I have always called barbecue) are collard greens, hush puppies, and cornbread.

Meme, how do you eat your pulled pork?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-12 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
What is up with this trend of people writing "the X fic that no one wanted/no one asked for?"

I've seen this so many times on AO3 in the tags or summaries and it's driving me insane. Is it supposed to make me more likely to read a fic or is it some cutesy fandom trend I missed the origin of?

Misfires

(Anonymous) 2016-02-12 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
So.. am I the only one who suspects that at least some of the recent comment misfires are deliberate? I mean, they are more likely to get a (mini) fill than the average prompt...

Like, there's nothing necessarily wrong with doing that deliberately, I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to cause wank. It's just the sudden uptick, and the randomness of the misfires in the last week seems a little too unlikely. I have no proof though, obviously.

I guess if people are doing it deliberately, all it signifies is that prompts consisting of only a sentence, or a vague reference to something, are more appealing to fillers. Maybe the lack of pressure helps encourage fillers, too.

okay. who is the weenie?

Other SW Kinkmemes?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-13 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I've heard tell of non-TFA specific Star Wars kinkmemes, but I don't think I've seen any links to them. Anyone know any relatively active ones?

I've just finished Clone Wars and I NEED fics about my favorite minor villain being awful, but there are only two fics with her on Ao3 and she isn't even searchable on FF.

Millicent?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-13 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel completely clueless. Who is Millicent the cat? I googled it and I'm finding conflicting information about how she's Hux's cat via fan fiction, but also canon?

As far as I am concerned, this is the best thing the Jimmy Fallon Show has ever enabled.
