A long time ago, in a wank far, far away
Actually, it was about thirty minutes ago. Whatever.

In [info]swrecs, [info]marshmellin pimps her new comm, which is something about making Star Wars fanfiction good. [info]azarias (note the cleverly disguised username) look over the comm and sees stuff that she likes.

Then she sees something that she doesn't.

She wanks, to wit:

[info]azarias: Wank.
[info]marshmellin: Hmm?
[info]azarias: WANK.
[info]marshmellin: Oh. Wank.
[info]azarias: I'll wank more later.
[info]marshmellin: Something. (I've got the notice in my inbox but haven't actually read it yet. I just couldn't let this puddle of splooge pass by, even if I'm the only one splashing in it.)

Has no one told her that George doesn't like fanfiction, period?

Really? I've never kept track of George's announcements from on high, but I thought he was okay with fanfic that didn't have titties or the gay.

Not to mention that all that lawyer-hating stuff is just nonsense if she's running a copyright-busting fanfic community regardless of what one shaggy "author" may say. If George is OK with some fanfic, he might not sicc his lawers onto the marshmellow girl, but that doesn't make fanfic legal.

At least I KNOW I'm a pirate.

And, damn, I know why being bi is relevant to the wank. I'm holding my keyboard down with both hands to keep fro going over there and wanking away for days myself. I hate...I...(choking) Gah! grble! wtf!

(deep breath)

OK, feeling a little better, sorry for the mess. I'll clean up.

He doesn't like it, but tolerates fanfic without teh secks (gay or straight) or massive gore. There was even an attempt a few years back to give SW fan fiction a home on an official site, but it turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. In the 80s, Lucasfilm's policy was that fanzines were permitted, provided they met their ratings guidelines and publishers sent them a copy for their archives. One (pretty innocuous) Han/Leia story called "Slow Boat to Bespin" was rumoured to have earned its publisher a C&D letter.

Star Wars slash has existed for years, but has only been readily available to readers with the advent of the Internet.

The Saga does not have homosexual relationships in it.

An excellent reason to ban slash.

After all, no one wants fan fiction that's different from canon in any way. That would just be wrong.

Also, just because we didn't see any doesn't mean there wasn't any. Unless there was a deleted scene released on the DVD that lists the sexual persuasion of every character in the galaxy FFA.

ISTR that George once said there's no queer characters in the SW universe, actually. I also remember rolling my eyes at that, because dude, you've got canon semi-incest, how is that better than gay relationships?

I'm a diehard Han/Leia fan. More accurately, I'm a diehard Leia fan, and if Han she wants, Han she gets. I just don't like reading Han/Luke stuff, so I don't. Yay for me, yay for people who like Han/Luke, because I'm not on a crusade to stomp it out.

I love how people bring the "I'm FRIENDS with gay people!" statement in when slash is brought up.

Jesus Christ, I don't give a shit about your friends. The POINT is that you're not accepting slash - you're ignoring Lucas's dislike for fanfiction but disallowing slash. And somehow this makes sense to you.

THAT'S the point.

[info]marshmellin caught a bit of hell for the "no slash" rule when she posted the advert over at tpm100 too. They're apparently VERY slash-friendly, and also don't take well to community plugs.

I love that she so gracefully ignored GL's (and that will forever mean Green Lantern for me. And George Lucas in spandex is something I NEVER WANT TO PICTURE AGAIN AUUUGH) opinion on *fanfic* as a whole.

Besides, would any man who hated slash fiction say, "By the way, fangirls, I know you all love you some Master/Padawan action so here's me telling you Obi Wan is going to spend the next twenty years with Qui Gon. Alone. Heeee!" completely unprompted? I DON'T THINK SO.

marshmellin claims George Lucas has requested that it not be...well...written.

I read that without the dots. "not be well written." And really, given what George has written, anything that is "well written"</i> would be far more non-canon than the slashiest of slashy things.

Astromech Tech is a closed community due to the ludicrous amount of argument created by rule number 4. If an Author does not like the rule, the Author is politely reminded that they are not being forced or coerced to join the community. It has been expressed and explained many times that no offence is meant or intended by the rule, but some people can't or won't understand the community's stance on this issue. The moderator of this community has only one thing to say to them: Good luck with your writing, and may the Force be with you.

That's two things, surely?
