More SW fic blogging. I’ve been skipping around lately, I haven’t found anything of length to super engross me since I finished Wake the Storm. I’ve started the sequel, but I didn’t want to tear through it too quickly, because I could probably finish that 300k+ fic in a week and then where would I be?? Better to keep moving around! I read some of You Became to Me, which I really want to like because the author has a strong grasp of the world and I like the thought put into the characters, the focus on the worldbuilding was super satisfying for me, but the length of the paragraphs is far too long (I want to split them into thirds constantly) and there’s way too much narrative standing around and telling the reader things while nothing happens. I have trouble tracking the scenes because there’s a constant stream of summing up backstory instead of actually showing it to us. Which is a shame, because there’s a really great fic underneath all of that, I think. I’ve also been reading this author’s fic, well, at least the Obi-Wan & Anakin fic, which is only a small handful. It’s a shame that my interest in Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan petered out because there’s a ton of really quality stuff (between the JA novels and fic like this) but until Anakin shows up, my heart just isn’t in it. I’m halfway through Fallout and really enjoying it, though! Especially Obi-Wan’s complete and utter disregard for stopping to actually heal/say in the medbay when it comes to himself.
