It’s been about five months since I last did a set of STAR WARS recs, which I’ve had my ups and downs with the fandom in that time, but one thing that hasn’t wavered is that this fandom has been absolutely amazing at producing fic all this time and I literally started with about 300 fics I wanted to rec and this takes maybe 20% off that list and, of course, I read more this morning, so now it’s back up to like 305 because THIS FANDOM KEEPS BEING REALLY GREAT ABOUT PRODUCING THE AMAZING FIC.
I really do appreciate that, whatever other problems this fandom has, there are a lot of really great people here, too, who are doing some fantastic work and sharing their incredibly talented creations with us. As someone who loves the space fandom created, who finds meaning in the community that pops up around our ridiculous bullshit of a source material (I love it, but it’s such delightful ridiculous bullshit, that’s what endears it to me so much, I LOVE YOU FOR BEING RIDICULOUS, STAR WARS!), it also means a lot that there have been so many incredible people making the world a little better through their writing, through their art, through their good-hearted commentary, especially in a time when a lot of us really need some good cheer. So, here, cry with me about so many amazing fics and cry with me that this is barely putting a dent in all the fic I want to shove at everyone!
