(no subject)

So, I have a new ship. *headdesk* Never in my life have I shipped Obidala. I always thought, "Ewww..." but [livejournal.com profile] aruna7 and I were talking and one thing led to another. I was wanting to "improve" the plot of the prequels today anyway, and...well...Anakin is an idiot. My main problem with Obidala has always been the fact that I can't see a dark, broody, secretive Obi Wan who would like secretly lust after a woman, or even secretly love a woman, and certainly not try to take Anakin's wife, but someone said, "I think Obi Wan would rather leave the Jedi Order. He's too honorable." And someone wondered how that would affect things and plot ideas started, and then SOMEONE said, "Who's the father?" and bang. We have ourselves a new project. Which we both need like a hole in the head. However. Iconage.

Thanks. Was I like not supposed to tell??

[identity profile] aruna7.livejournal.com 2007-02-25 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
They just saw me running all around the SW board squeeeeing about super secret plotting by the two of us.... So my fappy must have made the connexion... *grin*

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-25 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. *needs to fix userpics still* I'll make a zip and upload so you can get it after you eat. Heh.

Aruna was telling me you two were plotting but she didn't tell me what. Now, I know. ;)

*evil grin*

[identity profile] aruna7.livejournal.com 2007-02-25 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! *thud* I was hoping you would have iconned them last night, but this is beyond my expectations!!!! *hugs Obidala and Dar* Those are fantastic, sweetie!!!!!!!!! I think I'll have to spam my userpics list once again!!!!! Those are beautiful!!!!!! :D

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-25 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
*needs to fix own userpics* I was on the phone for like 2.5 hours, so I had plenty of time. *hugs back and hugs Obidala* New ships are so fun because like you suddenly go, "OMG, it makes sense! YAY!"

Good luck working today, sweetie. Hope I can see you later cause I ran into a small problem with the outline. I can see one of two things happening, but not sure which (won't say in a comment in case anyone happens to read...)

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-25 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the perfect song for between TPM to AtoC!!!!!!!!!! *DIES!!!*

I had a whole scene in mind where Obi Wan says something, and the words are IN the lyrics!!!!!!!! *dies!!!!!!!!*

Okay, I'll stop using exclamation points now because people will really think we've lost our minds even more.

(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[identity profile] aruna7.livejournal.com 2007-02-25 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I just read both your comments, and I'm like "Why do I have to go to eat???????" Please upload icons+songs+ anything you want about our new ship!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes, we've lost our minds!!!! squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[identity profile] janetlin.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa. That's not a ship I ever thought would float, but you've got me intrigued. I hope there's some fic to follow up these shiny icons...

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Definately. We just finished the outline for how it plays out across all six movies and Aruna's started the vid trailer. Stay tuned.

Like I said in my post, the main problem for me was how would work and keep Obi true to character. But I think we did it. Of course I am biased, because it's my new plot baby.

[identity profile] janetlin.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, awesome. Can't wait to see it!

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. It'll be long. The outline alone is 6-7 pages in small font. So, I hope you don't mind fic in installments.

[identity profile] janetlin.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. It forces one to pace the reading, draw it out like a multi-course meal.

Plus I get a little intimidated by single posts that are just _huge_, 'cause I seldom have the time to sit down and read it all in one go, anyway.

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Some of my fic posts are actually pretty huge anyway, even for chapters. But I try to write for [livejournal.com profile] scifi_five where the max word limit is 5000. Usually I run about 1000-2000 per chapter though, unless I really get into something.

I love your icon, btw.

[identity profile] janetlin.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. He's just too cute.

2000 is a good size for a chapter; that's about the length mine tend to be. I don't like them _too_ short, either, because then it just feels like a teaser.

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

I don't have a set limit, but that's what I aim for. I will say I don't always post to comms immediately, so I do sometimes end up with more than one chapter in a post. I have no idea where I'd even post this particular fic anyway, since most of the comms I belong to are Stargate related.

[identity profile] janetlin.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
There's got to be some Star Wars ones out there, though. And if you just post in your journal, maybe someone on your f-list will know where to link it.

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure there are, just never had a reason to join any because my main interest as far as fic writing has been Stargate SG-1. *shrugs* We'll look around when the time comes.

[identity profile] janetlin.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, I love badass!Yoda in the prequel movies.

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Me too. And I love that episode.

[identity profile] janetlin.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmm, and Danny is just yummy.

I found you through the list of icon posts in [livejournal.com profile] sg1_debrief and I think I'll stick around to read your fic. Mind if I friend you?

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Feel free. Plenty of Danny-centric fic floating around this place too. Just follow the tags.

[identity profile] janetlin.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Sweet. Thanks.

[identity profile] polgarawolf.livejournal.com 2007-08-28 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, more pretties!

*Giggles* I think I recognize some of those from outtake. (I always wondered if Ewan said something to her that made her laugh.)

Ahh, so that's how One Path started. Well, I think I can guess who the SOMEONE is. *Snickers* But now I'm wondering how the conversation came about in the first place, if you didn't like the idea of Obi-Wan with Padme at all . . .

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-08-28 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I think somebody tripped or something and they both laughed.

There was this icon in my RotS batch and we both went "Ooooooooooooh...." and then we were both like, "You know, I really don't like Obidala, but that looks..." and then we started talking about WHY we didn't like Obidala, and SOMEONE mentioned the idea of him leaving the order and...yeah.

[identity profile] polgarawolf.livejournal.com 2007-08-28 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds entirely possible, given how overlong Jedi robes are and how awkward those heavy gowns must've been . . .

Ahhhh. You should enshrine the icon or something. It's a piece of One Path history in the making. *Lol!*
