Fandom meme: F, A, N, S
F - The longest I’ve been in a fandom is probably Doctor Who. I started in 2005 and the last fic I wrote for it was in 2013. :D
A - I don’t really have an OTP at the moment (which is honestly such a relief), although I’m up for any combination of the prequel trio (Star Wars) right now. Although I’m just as likely pull up a gen fic. I’m entertained by all of it. (If I was forced to pick just one, I’d go for an OT3 of Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme because I like them all.)
N - Three things I wish I saw more of in fandom:
1) I wish people would be able to disconnect meta from fanfic a bit more. Just because you write or read something doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what you believe about the characters or the show. It really is okay to be entertained by something you don’t think would ever happen in canon (or even would want to happen in canon.)
2) More fics where the third person who isn’t in the pairing doesn’t get bashed. Like I want to read more Anakin/Padme fics where Obi-Wan isn’t the cause of everything wrong ever. And more Anakin/Obi-Wan fics where Padme isn’t the shrew man wrecker who ~just doesn’t understand~. (I’ve not run into any issues in the very few Obi-Wan/Padme fics I’ve read.)
3) MORE FUNNY ANAKIN/PADME CONTENT. (Like ok, endgame strangulation isn’t exactly humor-inspiring, but neither is chopping off someone’s limbs and leaving them on fire, but I have no issues finding funny Obi-Wan and Anakin stuff.) LET PADME BE FUNNY!
S - Personal canon. This is tough because there are a few issues I’m puzzling over at the moment, but I haven’t actually decided on what the hell I think. One I’m currently leaning towards is that Palpatine did something which directly caused Padme’s death. The droids said that they couldn’t find anything wrong with her, which even if Padme was catastrophically depressed, that would have resulted in physical symptoms like heart failure. But canon was like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . And the unexplained in-universe is Force nonsense.
