Summary:Luke’s in a funk and Mara needs a co-pilot for a trading mission with a search for a missing New Republic agent on the side. What could go wrong?
Luke and Mara: take a trip; play drinking games; blow stuff up; break some laws, go shopping; watch holovids; go out for dinner and dancing; break some more laws, run into old friends; hang out in dive bars and trash dumpsters; place prank calls to 900 numbers; navigate an asteroid field (duh); and exchange tens of thousands of words of innuendo-filled, sexy banter. Also, the adventures of Duke and Tara.
“Mara, you were on Wayland, too. Do you remember this much sex?”
“Being a Jedi Master must count for something besides the ability to levitate really big rocks.”
The Luke/Mara fanfic classic (circa 1995/96) that had far more influence on Club Jade than Club Jade would maybe like to admit.
Basically, you should probably be more familiar with it. I mean, if you choose to.

Rebel at Heart: The Jedi Council Forum I love the discussions, the fandom, the Expanded Universe. But I recently learned something that has me rethinking my participation on the site. I recently went to post by BtVS/Glee crossover in their Non-Star Wars fanfic section and was told that I couldn’t have my chosen pairings because the owner has set a rule against homosexual relationships in fics. This person is adamant about this rule, and I find myself extremely disappointed in the internet in general that a rule like that can still exist in 2013. I’m not asking anyone to boycott or quit the boards. I just felt that this should be put out there.
This is - or used to be, anyway - common knowledge in Star Wars fanfic fandom, as TFN’s fanfic forum is a pretty major venue. (Except for the slashers, obviously. Not being one myself, I can’t tell you where they congregate.)
For what it’s worth, every time I’ve seen it come up on the boards, posters have generally been against the ban.

fanfic psa
I’ve been writing fanfic for awhile, if not quite as long as original fic, and I’ve gotten a few comments over the years. People, I’ve noticed, don’t always seem to be aware of the distinction between appropriate and inappropriate comments on them. So, inspired by some recent commentary I’ve gotten, here are some helpful examples:
-
Random House wants to read your fanfic (out loud) P.S. I am not a crackpot. This is actually a thing that is happening.
-
“All worthy work is open to interpretations the author did not intend. Art isn’t your pet — it’s your kid. It grows up and talks back to you.” -
“Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don’t do it for money. That’s not what it’s about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They’re fans, but they’re not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.” —The Boy Who Lived Forever | Time Magazine (via gypsy-sunday)
This is probably the best, non-judgmental description of fan fiction I’ve ever heard of in main stream media.
