        To be fair, fanfic doesn’t have to be about alternate relationships. It can be just fixing the studio/corporate butchering of a working lore, or going in directions that are legit but aren’t interesting enough for movie/TV writers. And some of the fanfic crowds are VERY particular about consistency.

        Fanfic for Star Wars prequels is pretty incredible. What could have been. And sure, that includes relationships.

            My fanfic ain’t about none o’ dat. Or at least once I wrote it, it won’t be. Not dat it is now, either.

            It’s about dis git wot wants ta get really smart and he comes up with dis proppa klever plan ta get smart. But den, if he’s dat klever ta begin with, does he really need to get smart?

            It’s called Grot and Supergrot. I’ll write it one day. Den yoo’ll see!

          Star Wars extended universe before the disney retcon is awesome. I actually found a book being discarded by the local library that’s about how Leia got the plans and I haven’t read it yet but I think she is pretty badass in it.

    [not really off topic, but kinda]

    “The 7% Solution” by Nicholas Meyer [who also directed the movie]

    Fantastic story. Holmes’ cocaine habit has become a full on addiction. It’s up to Drs. Watson and Freud to cure him.
