let's play the "guess the speaker" game

Apparently, when I skip band to go do chemistry, my band director decides to hold elections. GOD DAMN IT.

That said, started screwing around with sweatshirt designs again today. So far, I have one. I like it. It's cute, short, sweet, and to the point.

I really want a new iPod. Not that there's anything wrong with mine, just the fact that every time I add new music on, I have to delete stuff to get it to fit. I've pretty much gotten rid of everything I can let go. (I have a four gig iPod Mini. Yeah, they don't even make the Mini anymore. I totally want an 80GB, you know? I mean, I don't even need video! I just want the space. *grabby hands*)

I'm also in one of those moods where I need a little love, so teeny bits of fic from various pieces in progress (mostly Star Wars, a little bit of HP). Say something, please?



"A Long Time Gone" (second in the "What is Lost" trilogy)

"You weren't this highstrung when you were nineteen."

*

"Don't look so tense. I'm not that bad a pilot."

*

"Are you stupid? They're killing your kind out there!"

*

"What's that your people say? There is no death --"

"-- there is the Force."

*

"You were nine?"

"I was a precocious child."

*

"This is not my day."

"You Jedi are all the same. You selfish bastard."

"They will come anyway. And I will put my lightsaber through my head before I hand myself over to the Empire to get brainwashed or murdered."

"What Is and What Should Never Be" (the Qui-Gon lives! AotC AU)

"You dropped this."

"No speech?"

"Qui-Gon used to give me that speech too. I'm sure you've heard it often enough. Let's go."

*

"An assassin tried to kill Senator Amidala. Skywalker was very helpful."

"He jumped out of a window."

"I expect a full report, then."

"Salvation" (working title, third story in the "What is Lost" trilogy)

"Do you know how to disable a tractor beam?"

"What do you think I am, a mechanic? Of course not. But I don't think the handmaiden here knows either."

*

"I hate this planet."

"Ixtapa's survived this long, so let's not malign her just yet."

*

"We're not with the Empire, if that's what you're wondering."

"I wasn't. If you were, you'd have tried to kill me already."

*

"I'm glad you came. I wasn't sure you were still alive."

"You know me, Padme. Four Sith lords and three wars couldn't kill me; any rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

*

"You can't shoot me. I'll shoot your friend on reflex."

"Man has a point. Try not to piss him off too much, your eminence, he happens to be the guy your mom sent us after."

*

"Artoo?"

"He recognizes the droid?"

*

"That's a completely idiotic plan. The Empire outnumbers you ten to one. All you'll accomplish is total obliteration of your little rebellion."

*

"Your plan is stupid. Come up with a new one."

"All The White Horses" (working title, Star Wars-as-Supernatural AU)

"I would die for you."

*

"You can fly?"

"What part of 'Air Force' didn't you understand? I'm a trained fighter pilot, I can land a plane!"

Untitled (HP AU)

"That eager to be rid of me, Professor? I know the position's jinxed."

"Ah. No longer, I think. I believe that curse died with Lord Voldemort."

"You think? I'll just be your -- how do the Muggles say it? -- your guinea pig, then."

"The Dance Is Where It's At" (working title, Star Wars)

"I don't like this."

"You already said that."

"Bad Moon Rising" (working title, SW Clone Wars rampage fic)

"I must say, I'm less than impressed by your performance. I expected you here much sooner."

"I had to do my part for the war effort."

Why, yes, I did just go through my notebook picking out the interesting bits of dialogue. Why do you ask?

So much Star Wars! I suppose this means I need to watch the movies again, otherwise I'll never be able to read and understand all of these.

Do a marathon and watch all three prequels one after the other! Then, once that's done, only rewatch certain parts. Like the fight scenes. *cough*

I don't know how much SW canon you have to know, since I tend to write AU anyway. (And Clone Wars, strangely enough, but the only one of the Clone Wars comics I've read is Last Stand on Jabiim, which is lovely and tragic and heartbreaking and totally responsible for a large amount of Anakin's trauma.) Most of what I write is my own reasoning and semi-canon, anyway. (And seriously, how many fandoms do you get where you have varying levels of canon? You've got the movies, which are obviously top-tier, followed by the novelizations, followed by the Clone Wars comics and cartoons -- I'm not sure which is more canon, but the comics are prettier, and after that -- I'm not sure how the EU is ranked after that. I tend to pick and choose.)

I have a ton of post-"Snow Day" fic on my comp, but it's not done. I have no CSI:NY inspiration. At all. *weeps*
