Obvious answer is oh-so-obvious, but indulge me anyway. ;)

It's not exactly a secret that I ship Obi-Wan/Padmé, and that I've done so for several years now. Of course, this is partially the fault of Katie, who rightly calls herself my enabler and who has shipped Obi-Wan/Padmé since way back when Episode I first came out. But I really do see the potential in this pairing, and I love it just as ardently as any canon shipper likes their ship.

Originally, so I've read, George Lucas was actually setting up for a love triangle in Episode III, as a possible contributor to Anakin's fall, and while I'm not favourably disposed towards infidelity on Padmé's part (I think it would have been too out of character for her, not to mention for Obi-Wan), I do believe that a love triangle could have made for a slightly more believable turn to the Dark Side. Matthew Stover actually deals quite brilliantly with this concept in his Revenge of the Sith novelization, suggesting that Palpatine made Anakin believe that Padmé was having an affair with Obi-Wan so as to destroy his trust in his two closest friends. It works great - even though no such adultery is actually going on - and I say this not just as an Obi-Wan/Padmé shipper but as someone who greatly respects canon.

That last point is one that a lot of bashers don't seem to understand, and I really wish they would. Lots of people enjoy non-canon ships while still liking canon. It can be done, trust me! That's why I'm always baffled when bashers accuse me of hating George Lucas or of wanting to destroy what he created. Yes, the movies have faults, and yes, I don't agree with every decision Lucas made. But you know what? I LOVE STAR WARS. Period! I love the lightsaber duels and the action sequences and the moral messages and good triumphing over evil and yes, even Anakin/Padmé (for I'm also a multishipper, another cardinal sin). And even if I don't like bashers and they don't like me, we are nonetheless bound together by our overarching love of what Lucas created.

I wish more people would remember that.

(Also, I'm greatly amused that BSG slipped into the Writer's Block question, hehehe. XD)

Uh, hello? Hemingway is, well, Hemingway. Also, I want to see some proof that the quote and story are actually attributable to Hemingway. Snopes.com is your friend, yo.

Anyway, all cynicism aside, I highly doubt I could accomplish such a feat. Hell, I can barely write a story in a hundred words, which is why I avoid drabble challenge communities like the plague. Even with the drabble request meme, I included a proviso that said, basically, "Fics may not be exactly 100 words long, because I suck at writing short stuff." Short and Liz do not mix, and it has been so ever since I started writing at age eleven. In eighth grade my English teacher complained, multiple times, about my producing ten- and eleven-page stories for weekly writing assignments that were supposed to be at most two or three pages. She finally threatened to dock marks if I didn't tone it down a little. So I did, and I was displeased with every subsequent assignment that I handed in. At least the teacher was happy, though.

( The rest of this is kinda verbose, so snip! )

And now I've realized exactly how long this post is, to answer a simple little question. So, I shall desist, and go play with my new iPhone some more. Whee!

Here lies Liz. She shipped both Obi-Wan/Padmé AND Anakin/Padmé. Yes, it IS possible!

... Okay, I jest. XD And this is more a complaint from when I used to be heavily involved in SW fandom and thus took more flak from militant A/P shippers. But that's the first thing that popped into my mind when I read this question, so yeah. Yay harmless fun.

Real post coming soon, I promise. Also, I will probably be posting fic today. Whee!
