What really gets me about Disney Star Wars is that they don’t seem to have taken the time to figure out what fans actually wanted. Since The Last Jedi, I’ve heard countless complaints (mostly from defenders of that movie) that “the fanbase” is impossible to please. But were our choices …

Star Wars fans got exactly what they deserved—and wanting. After years of making it cool to rabidly and irrationally hate something different from the original trilogy, to the point of bullying away the creator of the franchise and trying to discredit his impact on his own work, what Disney delivered …

he didn’t mean to experiment on one of his own children. But isn’t Jonathan meant to be the way he is because Valentine fed Jocelyn demon blood? Valentine is now blaming Clary for Jocelyn not coming back to him. Because he is secretly five years old. I see where Jace gets his …

I think I’ve been reading ever since you posted the sporkings of the first three books, and boy, it’s been a wild ride. I love plot holes in the climax of my trilogy. All of these have been such a delight to read, thank you so much for going through …

Doublepost, sorry. I just realized that when you talked about Anakin’s arc and Kylo’s being opposites, you’re probably talking about Anakin’s in the prequels, whereas my reply to that was talking about the saga as a whole, and particularly referring to Vader’s arc in the Original Trilogy. My bad. Feel free to disregard/consider …

But that’s the thing: I have no idea who Quilan Vos is. Is he from the EU? This is like a film adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” sneaking in a character from a P&P variation. For the die-hard fans who read that particular book, it might be neat, but for …

Yeah, they had fanservice with Boba Fett and Quilan Vos But that’s the thing: I have no idea who Quilan Vos is. Is he from the EU? This is like a film adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” sneaking in a character from a P&P variation. For the die-hard fans who read …

Because that’s exactly what happened with the prequels: they also overly relied on books and comics and extraneous material to explain plot points or character motivations. See, I don’t actually think that was a problem with the Prequel Trilogy. Yeah, they had fanservice with Boba Fett and Quilan Vos, but I …

As someone who strongly disliked the prequel films and who had initial misgivings about the sequel trilogy and was ultimately disappointed by it, I’m going to suggest this: The problem with Star Wars is that both the films and the fandom have become an ouroburos ever since “Return of the Jedi” …

I disagree. Even with a solid outline it would have been a terrible idea to have a different director for each movie of a trilogy. This is not just movies sharing the same universe or even some of characters. This is a single story continued from one movie to another, …
- The Smith of Lie Fri Mar 20 07:14:53 2020 ("This map's not complete"--The Sequel Trilogy and Making It Up as You Go)
Anyways, Disney and Lucasfilm should be ashamed of their management of the Sequel Trilogy. A point in favor of that theory – as someone who always liked Star Wars (though not nearly enough to be classified as fan) and even has certain amount of nostalgia for prequels (though that might be …

Just checked the website, and they said they don’t accept fanfictions. Shame. I already have one person checking my work on FF.net, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to get more people to check it out.
- Apep Fri Mar 6 23:37:01 2020 (City of Glass: Chapter 19 - Peniel)
I’m not entirely sure. But if you’re somewhat active in a fanfic community, there’s probably people willing to give you feedback before you post. Try asking about it.

On Critique Circle, do they accept fanfiction?

The issue I have is how poorly done it is here. Yeah, that’s the real problem. For all the claims of how Jace’s behavior has changed, we don’t really see much of it. And while it’s only been maybe a month or so since the first book started, that only excuses …

Blockquote →Hello! Thanks for reading, and don’t hesitate to comment. I can honestly say that reading comments on this stuff really helps. Sometimes it feels like I’m tossing stuff out into the void, so comments prove that at least someone is actually reading this stuff. I’m practicing on being more outspoken …

Oh, and I forgot to mention it in my last post. I enjoyed your sporkings. I think I got more of an understanding on what to do when you’re writing romances.

I’ve been reading this for a long time, but this is the first time I ever commented on here. Hi. I never really understood how people responded so positively to this stuff. I don’t get how people don’t consider Jace to be a total nightmare to deal with in real life. …
