(Long before we'd read any fan fiction, and just before TPM came out, Best Beloved and I sketched out exactly how we'd do episodes one through three. I still dream that those movies were made, some nights. Those are happy nights. Basically, our fantasy movies remain my own personal canon, and I just pretend the real movies were something I found on fanfiction.net.) we all have our own personal episodes 1-3, don't we? in all that glorious negative space george lucas gave us then came back to *rape*. mine is from a high-angst intense tabletop campaign set we played one summer, with two parties running in parallel with some crossover, "rebel" jedi who were the sources of the clones of the clone wars and loyalist jedi, and in the end it all... it all fell apart and left us heading to a new hope, but in such a more satisfying way. that will be my canon for the rest of my life, i think. oh, i'll use my lj icon from back then, my poor angsty twi'lek

Yes. Yes, we do. Because a) the alternative is accepting the utter hash Lucas made of them and b) we're fans, and when we see something has gone wrong, we FIX IT, even if that means rewriting three whole movies.
Just to add: the LJ version (with headers and synecdochic's gorgeous cover art) is here. So people can check warnings if they want or need to.
Ooo, good point. I bookmarked the one I used (I will always choose the one page version, always always always, and that was before I started converting all the fan fiction I read to Kindle format), but I should probably go and change the link to the LJ page in the rec.
I had a moment of pure, pure joy when I saw that someone had tagged "Machinery" on Delicious with "soulbond".
Machinery is a glorious story!_minxy_February 4 2009, 19:40:56 UTC
I'll just poke my head in here to address this query:
I realize this is AU from a specific point in the canon, but I, of course, don't know the canon, and I can't figure out what that point is. (Possibly some kind soul will tell us all in the comments. Kind souls? Are you out there?) You don't need to know that to read this, though. In fact, as long as you know the basic tenets of the SG1 universe (Egyptian gods, American military, snakes-why'd-it'd-have-to-be-snakes, Ascension, and there you go), you could read this without any canon knowledge at all.The short version is: Machinery goes AU from season 6's episode Abyss

You're not alone in the universe, we agree on those books. Speaking of books - I cannot get them, don't even get a dl link for those free ones, not being in the US or something, so while I'm not sure I'll read them, would you have a direct dl-link perhaps?
So Harlequin decided to give away some crap, but only to Americans? Can't let those durn furriners get a hand on our crap!
Um. Do any particularly interest you? I could download and upload them for you in .pdf format. (No direct link is available, unfortunately.) And I've already grabbed and saved the summaries, because they are AWESOME, so if you can't even see those - well, have I got some treats for you.

*SMOOCHES YOU SMOOCHILY*
If you try to tell me that is not perfect, I will openly laugh at you.
I simply cannot believe that it hasn't already been written. No, it has and I just haven't read it yet.

If you believe that, you will not be able to join the coalition of Fannish Forces I am assembling to get someone to WRITE THIS STORY.
