Anakin is such a dumbass I can’t believe Obi Wan literally told him he knew that Anakin called Padmé and in rots Anakin STILL was all oh no I can’t tell him I can’t ask for his advice guess I’ll just go talk to the Chancellor and be really vague with Yoda!!!

This is 10000% funnier if Padme had overheard Obi-Wan just BLATANTLY saying something at some point, like “Anakin I know you two are sexually and romantically intimate with each other”. So there’s Padme in ROTS being like “...maybe you should just ask Obi-Wan for help? He loves you, and plus I kinda feel like he was maybe angling for an invite into the action anyways if you catch my drift...” and Anakin, Noted Non-Drift-Catcher, was just like “nah only a wicked old Sith Lord who’s trying to take over the universe, and Yoda, whom I do not plan to actually be entirely forthright about my problems to, can help me.”

Just wanted to say I started watching stargate thanks to you!! Saw the movie and the first season of sg1 and a couple eps of season two. The recasts between movie and show are funny but especially that the actor for Daniel is less geeky in the show. And consequently seems to have a woman from nearly every planet in love with him lmaooo

Look. Look. Michael Shanks is a very handsome man so I can’t fault the galaxy’s taste. (Required disclaimer that I am a very subjective source on Stargate). But yes, there tends to be a character in sci-fi who always gets flirted with. In SG-1, it’s Daniel.

I hope you’re enjoying the show!

I don't know! When I look on AO3, it seems like there are certain fans who tend to only read there and aren't on tumblr. I also know there's a big contingent of fans on Twitter and a few other places, but post-revival I think activity is just scattershot. There's a WIP I'm reading on AO3 from someone who is not on tumblr, to my knowledge, and they get tons of comments daily (again, from names I do not recognize on tumblr). But I'm not sure why your older stuff doesn't get new commentary on AO3--maybe because you ARE such a known quantity that people tend to overlook the need to give feedback? Just riffing here.

Interesting!  I can’t imagine getting tons of AO3 comments on an XF fic at this point. Visitor got some, but not a huge number in the scheme of things considering it was kind of one of the few longer fics I knew of being written during the pre-revival drought.  Maybe the people who read my fic on AO3 and the people who read my fic on tumblr are a perfect circle when it comes to AO3 and they’ve said what they needed to say in the tags?  I don’t know!  Like I said, this post is just to think about things, not to ask for feedback or to criticize anybody for not commenting.

I've noticed this too in writing for new fandoms. Part of it might be less of a reputation built in different fandoms, but it's a lot harder to get fic circulating on tumblr outside of the x files fandom. Meanwhile the same fic usually takes off on ao3. It's interesting, and a little weird to get used to lol

Yeah, I’ve been in and out of a lot of fandoms.  What I’m surprised by is that my new fandom, where I’m not well-known, comments a lot more than my twenty-year fandom.  Different dynamics, I think.  If given a preference, I’d kind of rather have an AO3 comment than a tumblr tag.  Although I adore tumblr tags in all their delicious literal-subtext glory and the things that people say in them are incredible, they’re also a lot harder to find and re-read if you’re lazy like I am.  Also, AO3 comments show up directly in my email inbox, which is nice - half the time the tumblr activity page fritzes out and won’t show me any tags and I have to go look at the post directly.  They’re also easier for other people to see and agree with or evaluate whether they want to read the story (although please, for the love of little green apples, be kind in your bookmark tags, because authors can read them).

I think it keeps changing! I joined the fandom in 2015 and it still felt like a good mix of tumblr-ao3 at the time. But now it feels very tumblr heavy - I think because the newer fans do actually skew a lot younger. Gen Z has entered the chat, as it were!

Hmm!  Welcome to Gen Z.  I hope you love angst.

I totally agree with you on the ST in general! I just have trouble with the fact that there’s a whole story group now and still the movies have no pre planned arc and are disjointed from each other but are expected to function as a trilogy. TLJ might have been written before and released after a lot of the supplementary stuff, but bc story group exists, I can’t help but feeling like things have to be more cohesive :/ still though, I do have to say I enjoyed both TFA and TLJ!

I 100% agree with the feeling of how it’s really showing that there’s a lack of a story arc here and I do think that’s a lot of what caused contentious reactions with TLJ.  When I look at the pieces of TLJ, I like most of what’s there!  But when I look at it within the context of TFA and the rest of the supplementary material, it starts to feel more like it wasn’t nearly as much of an organic continuation as TFA as I would have liked.  This is why I’m not too fussed about Rian having his own trilogy, because I think then that would lead to having coherency across that story. But I think this is something that’s a bit outside what the Story Group can do--Pablo has said before that they’re not there to be canon cops and I think we, the audience, get the idea that they have this tremendous power over the stories being told and I’m honestly not sure they do.  I think they’re there more to make sure there are no major goofs--like the OT novelizations say Padme was alive on Alderaan for a few years before she died, but then the ROTS showed us that she died just after giving birth on Polis Massa--and to help do little connective things--like Rian said, “Okay, we’re shooting the Ahch-To scene together, if you want us to include some item in Luke’s possessions, get it to us in a couple of days!” and they rush over the compass, or when they ask, “Okay, what do we have for lore on the ancient Jedi?” and they send over that 6-page PDF file. I think they’re there to be consultants if the movie-makers want to use them, rather than that they have the power to actually say no.  Rian talked a bunch about how he thought there was going to be a lot of stuff he’d get told “no” on, but instead they were pretty much, “Sure, let’s see how we can help you with that.” Which I think is more my frustration with LF in general, rather than the Story Group themselves.  They say it’s there to help make things a more coherent storyline and, to be fair, it probably is still a way more coherent galaxy than it was with the EU.  But when I think of a more coherent story, that means NO ROUND ROBIN APPROACH TO BILLION DOLLAR MOVIE FRANCHISE.  On the other hand, I’m not sure LF/Disney cares because they’re just there to make a billion dollars with each movie and so far that’s been working out great, why should they change anything, just because some nerds on the internet what it to be more coherent?  XD
