SW luvin'

[culuyetille]

I've basked in SW goodness these past few days, thought I ought to share :)

Before getting started, well, there's this adorable bit of answer for feedback I received today: "thank you for loving my fic!" It made me chuckle. It is so endearingly honest and I guess that's what we all mean when we go fancy 'I'm sooo glad you appreciate my work' about icons/fics/art/whatever. It is good to please people, it is brilliant to have people like something you've done and enjoyed doing. *smiles*

...my team has won one match since we were Toyota Cup champions. That was a month ago; we've had defeats and draws gallore. We're shamefully at the bottom of the national championship and that's... damn. Frustrating. *sighs*

I finally gave in to the E/H love. After months of lurking at ewan_hayden reading and gathering information&inspiration, I come about with modest production of my own. I do hope you like it!! First off, icons.

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the eight icons to IJ.

There's also this little ficlet... unbeta-ed.

Title: Random and vile cosmic disorder (love)
Author: lorielen
Pairing: Ewan/Hayden
Rating: PG
Summary: 465 words. and if somebody asks whether he’s trying to quit – because Hayden smokes light crap – he can always tell them to sod off and mind their own effing business and stop prying the fuck into his personal life.
Comments: This was the introduction to a longer piece I’d been entertaining for some time, but since the rest of it seems unwilling to be squeezed out from my mind, I thought I could share this bit ;] If nothing else because I adore ewan_hayden *squishes*

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the E/H ficlet to IJ.

And the infalible recs ;]

Ewan/Hayden

Witchcraft And Wisdom
Author: Tuuli (tuuli1109)
Rating: PG
Summary: In every good story, there is a witch.

This fic is original, I so do love how the author weaves the plot, making it happen in a way that is just.. fantastic.

On Following the Rules As They Are Clearly Indicated, Or Why More People Should Read Freud
Author: phaballa
Rating: Adultish
Summary: So Jude is right, he’s always bloody right about these things, and Ewan is just going to have to face things head on instead of taking out his considerable frustration on innocent if highly insulting reporters. He’s going to have to talk to Hayden. Eventually. For now he’s fully committed to getting utterly smashed and making Jude carry him home.

This is some fantastic thought-streaming style containing narration by self-absorbed, bitchy as fuck Hayden Brat Christensen, Ewan A-hole McGregor, Jude Smug-Bastard Law and the scary Natalie I-have-Harvard-degree-in-psychology. Go, go, read it now!

Ani/Obi

The bonds that tie
Author: dormida
Pairing: Anakin/Obi-Wan
Rating: R/NC-17
Summary: The Council doubts the strength of Anakin and Obi-Wan's bond. Anakin doubts nothing. 4221 words.
Timeline: Shortly after AotC.

This one is just... I adore it. It's beautiful.

The Dark Crucible, brilliant fic by imadra_blue, has just been updated. I do so rec it. It combines some of the best characterisation I've ever had the pleasure of reading - she captures the misunderstanding that is the thorn on Ani/Obi's love; it's really hurtful that they should care about each other so, when their ways of thinking and acting are so different that they tend to misinterpret everything the other says or does. As a refreshing and most welcome surprise, this fic comes with a healthy and gripping plot. I cannot wait for the next chapter to come out. These are long, well-written and simply delicious.

Chapter I
Chapter II
Chapter III
Chapter IV

sore_de_ii_no has created an lj account just for her Ani/Obi art --> obakin, because Jedis are the best lovers.

sith_wench wondered What if our boys got themselves into on-line dating? From there sprung Personal ads for Anakin/Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Non-slashy but just... *rofl*

And of course, I should point you towards iharthdarth. It always etches this very silly grin to my face :D

EDIT: Go check bodeewan's Top ten ways to tell you're a gay jedi. *still having fits of laughter*

That should do it for today. :)

Love the icons :D Where do you get your pics? 06 is my favorite :)

And the fic? Awesome :D Great voice.

because picking up a mate’s cigarette brand is as inconspicuous a sign of heartache as they come

Leaves me wanting more :)

Thanks for sharing all this :D And for the fic recs, too.

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like them! I got the pics from a picspam somebody posted at ewan_hayden a loooooong time ago, featuring pics from the extras, I think. Recently lennongirl has shared a lot of pics as well, you may like to see this entry (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lennongirl/665114.html).

Thank you for the kind words, I'm flattered. :)

Sadie’s bitchiness is leaking on his life

I really like that. Really like the whole thing. Great job. :)

And omgsquee, I made it to your rec list! <33

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

aw, thanks! *humbled*

I *lots of hearts* your writing, I truly do. And sorry about taking soo long to reply to the comment -_-**

[ch-photoshopped.livejournal.com]

:) I love the lightsaber training icons!

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*rofl* your icon: too bloody funny!!

Thanks! I really admire your icon-making style, I've seen a few of your posts over at ewan_hayden.. you combine original ideas with great skills ^__^

[afra_schatz]

Seemingly, leading a glamorous and reckless existence by the name of Ewan McGregor does not excuse one from occasionally being prey to random and vile cosmic disorder ordinarily referred to as One of Those Days, Those being the operative word when grunted in dismay.

I so love this. Really, one only needs to read that one paragraph to a. know who's written it - because no one is as artistic with words as you are, making every phrase and every sentence so... shiny - anb b. to instantly fall in love with the story.

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*totally fancies your icon*

*HUGGLES* I'm soooo sorry it's taken me ages to reply to your comment, honey. I've been terrible of late, sorry, sorry! *crawls*

Your words mean the world to me *squishes* Aww I'm so glad you like this! I know Ewan/Hayden isn't really your thing, but I really, really think you should try ducky_chas's 'Better on Holiday', which I've recced on the most recent post. It's full of angst and romance and omg so much humour. Aaaan, THANKS for reccing me the H/D 'stay'. It's brilliant, I'm in love with it. Made me think about so many things...

*huggles*

Lilith and I are cooking a very crazy idea, is it ok if I bring it over to rp_playground??

[afra_schatz]

Lilith and I are cooking a very crazy idea, is it ok if I bring it over to rp_playground??

Of course it is!!! *rushes off again for workworkwork*

Oh Ewan: Have you visited actors100? Cause tehre were a few very nice posts with Ewan icons if I remember correctly :).

[lori-the-fiend.livejournal.com]

I love your ficlet! You have a way with words that is both unique and classic. I'd throw in a favorite line, but there are simply too many. The whole thing is brilliantly written, but I have to agree that the opening paragraph was very catchy. I only wish it was longer:(

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*squishes* thank you for the very kind words!! I am truly flattered, you've made my day.

...it was the first part of a ficlet, I'll try to have a look at it this week and see if I can revive the debris ^___^

[irrlicht74.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful icons!! And *LOL* at the second one. Subtext indeed! :D

Your ficlet is brilliant. I know that, because I read it. "I" being the important word here, because as you very well know, usually I don't read Ewan/Hayden fics. And I really wish I was as skilled with words like you are. *enviesenviesenvies* I'm so very incapable of writing anything at least "pretty good" at the moment, I'm afraid Caro will either send me a declaration of war anytime soon or just file a petition for "divorce". *sighs*

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*huggles* the films are overflowing with it. Esp. Ep III. I kept squealing in the cinema, ehehehe.

*HUGS* That means SOOOO much to me!! You're too kind, venturing into the E/H realm. Awwwwww. *squishes* I do hope you'll like it there and read more, maybe? I could point you to a bizillion fics ;]

And about 'divorce', oh love, we all have writer's block phases. Bleh. I'm trying to crawl my way out of one, right now. And I think you are an excellent writer, I really do love how you can incorporate characterisation in the narrator's voice.

*hugs and makes you tea* *shows you pics of nekkid Ewan to try and ensnare inspiration*

[irrlicht74.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Thanks. *huggles* I feel much better already. And well, Caro basically told me the same and threatened me with all kinds of evil if I'd dare to make something stupid. Like stopping to write Orlando or such. As if I ever could. ;) But still. I hate it to have a whole bunch of ideas and as soon as you're sitting at the computer they've all vanished into thin air. That sucks. Royally.

And *lol* No, thanks. No E/H for me. I know you can point me to more fics than I'll be ever able to read (like I could point you to a zillion Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan fics ;), but I wouldn't have the time anyway and it's just not "my" pairing. Sorry. Maybe I'll come to them someday.

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*huggles more* She's right, you know. Everyone has phases. And I understand what you mean about being unable to stop writing a character... my own muses are very demanding. =] It's not something controllable, really *winks* And awww, I'm in the same situation right now... only, I'm supposed to deliver a screenplay at the end of the semester and I know there's still time, but the idea was supposed to be ready by now and I should work on the shape only. As it is, I have no idea what I'm going to write about.. *sighs*

=] we all have our OTPs. I guess the keyword here is: EWAN. *giggles*

[irrlicht74.livejournal.com]

*LOL* Yes. I think EWAN is definitely the point here. ;) Speaking of which...I'm hoplessly uncreative (not only now but in general), but I'd like to point out two posts to you, in case you haven't seen them already.

The first one is a great song vid made by rhea_zombi and you can find it here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/ewan_playground/341468.html#cutid1). (Especially the song she chose is hillarious! *g*)

AND a phantastic but NOT WORKSAFE picspam lennongirl made a while ago. "Young Adam" (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lennongirl/667570.html)

Hope you likey. ;)

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*HUGS* thank you so much!!!! :) The vid had expired the number of downloads, but the picspam... alkfhwkjefh ----> how it left me

I saved a ton of pics and intend to make yummy icons, because, well, *DROOLS*

[irrlicht74.livejournal.com]

YAY! And I'm SO looking forward to the icons!! WHEEEEE! :)

And as for the vid, maybe I can ask rhea_zombi to re-post it. I think she said she would...I'd e-mail it to you, but I've tried three times to send it to Jinx and it didn't work. Too big maybe? Sorry, really. :(

[taliosi-x.livejournal.com]

nice job on the icons!

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

thank you :)

[psycho-llama.livejournal.com]

Love for the fic AND the icons! Gosh you're talented babe ♥

I trust you've seen the adorable jedi-training-video where Ewan tips Hayden's hat off? Absolutely hilarious.

Ugh, and my AFL (Australian Football) team will finish on the bottom of the ladder for the second time in three years. UGH.

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

*hugs* thankyouthankyouthankyou, dear.

Hee I've seen a small animation made of it, courtesy of starsouls1013. Why, do you have pretty links??

Awwww *huggles* that sucks. It hurts, doesn't it? I do hope my team will recover soon enough, though, else there'll be no more chance for us at the national championship... >.

[dead-pen.livejournal.com]
