Reasons for recommending: Sansei_55 has just posted a link on M_A through to this journal: dear_mralley, which is fandom's collective response to a gentleman who was kind enough to say,

I find it patently absurd to put straight women's interest in gay sex on a par with the obsession of straight men for girl-on-girl "action." Clearly the majority of women are not seriously aroused by scenes of sex between men. Female sexuality just doesn't work that way.

By odd coincidence, the story I'd already chosen for this evening, written way back in May 2000, pokes gentle fun at just that attitude.

Because it's Emrin, though, it's not just funny: it's also sexy and soppy and scrumptious. This was the story that showed me how erotic fade-to-black could really be, and it's because the emotions in it read so true. The plot, however, might seem a bit opaque if you're coming to it without having read any of Terri Hamill's Riding the Wheel of If, especially Episode 16. Heroes of the Galaxy is a spinoff from an alternate universe Obi-Wan visits in Wheel 16, in which he finds that the counterparts to himself and Qui-Gon are actually a pair of actors, Will and Ian, playing Master Jinn and Padawan Kenobi in a popular daytime soap. Emrin took up where Terri left off, after Obi-Wan has vanished again, leaving a confused Will and Ian behind him. Read the Wheel episode first; they're neither of them very long.

Hello Campers! This week's category is Genfic. I don't usually seek out genfic unless it is recommended, and sometimes even not then. But this story was written by Cori, and everything Cori writes is well worth checking out.

Reasons for recommending: Man this is a three-hanky story. Cori has Anakin *down pat* and does a good job with bewildered, out of his pay grade Obi-Wan. It's short, so I can't say much without ruining it, but I dare you to read it without at least a sniffle or two. And a smile.
