is the Shiny New Fandom high I'm experiencing at the moment the reason people become such big old fandom whores?
Yup. Plus, never a shortage of anything to read.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I've seen lots of mentions of Ep III fic, but since I still haven't seen the movie like the sad overworked peon that I am, I can offer no recs.
And, because this thread's been slow, is the Shiny New Fandom high I'm experiencing at the moment the reason people become such big old fandom whores?
Uh, possibly. And what Dana said. Plus, I seem to be a multi-tasker by nature, and I also find that it helps to keep obsession to healthy and pleasant level when I spread my interest around.

And if you get frustrated with something, you can just focus your attention on something else.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ailleann, I totally saw it, so either I've got the same prescription goggles as you, or we're not crazy. However, I have not seen any such fic, not that I've been especially looking.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yeah, A/P/O would totally work.
But what I really want to read is the post-Ep III OB/QG fic.

Yeah, I had a feeling some of the slashers from TPM days would go nuts over that.
I might have gone a little nuts myself.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Fay, that's exactly what I thought. I haven't read a lot of Qui-gon/Obi-Wan, but now we understand how Obi-Wan survived all those years in seclusion on Tattooine.
Ways to know you have crossed The Fandom Line: You consider attending a movie for the third time... for the purposes of fanfic research.
Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing, of course.

Fully 2/3 or more of my Netflix queue was selected for research purposes.
