My latest One Path chapter has things like: "(unnamed planet) had (unnamed resources) which made High Command feel that the risk of sending Padme was acceptable.
(Transition paragraph)

A few minutes later, Padme returned..."
I despise writing on days like this. I am trying to push through and keep going, but I can tell everyone right now that it is going to be quite a while before I post again. I will have to go back and fill in all the holes.
I'm sick of it, so I'm going to ramble now. About my fic, icons, and Star Wars as a whole. Read if you're bored, otherwise, keep scrolling and I won't be offended because I won't know the difference anyway. ;)
I've been thinking a bit about this story, how it came about, and Star Wars in general. Big surprise, eh? But the latest set of Obidala icons and PT bases has gotten my wheels turning. One might be surprised, when looking at those posts, to hear me say that, although I enjoy the Prequel Trilogy, I prefer the OT. My love affair with the PT really began with One Path. Why? Well, I confess that at one time, I was an Anakin/Padme shipper, but even when I was, I think that the reasons had more to do with the twins than with the couple.
Visually, of course, Hayden and Natalie looked good together, and Naboo is a lovely world. The graphic artist in me was drawn to that aspect. In the same way, the graphic artist was responsible for One Path, since the entire fic was generated out of a couple of icons. As my recent icons illustrate, Obidala also happens to look rather good together. Mwhahahaha.
As a fan of the OT, I was always curious about the twins' mother and naturally drawn to Padme, but elements of the A/P relationship always either made me uncomfortable or felt contrived or both. However, one simply cannot have Star Wars without the twins, so for a while I guess I was able to accept the ship by intellectualizing that without it there could be no Luke and Leia, and anyway, it made nice fanart.

Speaking of which, I recently iconned some more of the One Path vids, which I haven't talked about.
( About the vids icons )
I really have to thank Aruna for these vids, since she allowed me to icon them in part for my claim, which I've been beating my head about for quite some time. The challenge of Obidala icons for me is the lack of footage with the two of them together. The problem is getting them into an icon attractively without godawful cut-and-paste jobs that look like a six year old glued them in. Possibly I am overcritical of icons in general and mine in particular, but oh well. That is how I feel. I was of course aware of these challenges I started the claim, and I thought I was up to 200 icons.
( More rambling )
Hmm...think that's it. Nothing else to ramble about tonight. Hope I haven't put everyone to sleep. *snerk*
