Trust me, I'm just as shocked as anyone else that I've finally started to get my writing bug back - even as I'd all but basically flounced SW fic. Also shocking would be if anyone actually remembers my post-RotS AU ficlet series, which I've since titled Entropy (I still need to update the other entries and the index post with the new title, but whatevs). So even if I'm the only one reading it, that's cool. Heh. I can't believe it's been over a year and a half. Weird.

This is a transitional ~chapter leading up to our main three coming face-to-face again for the first time following Anakin's turn and betrayal. It's super short - not that any of the preceding segments were especially lengthy. Also probably confusing if you don't remember what happened up to this point. (Broad strokes: Padmé gave birth to the twins but instead of dying, she lived, she's in hiding on Tatooine with the twins, Obi-Wan, and the droids, and has just learned that Anakin is still alive in the form of Vader. Anakin's reunited with his old bestie, Kitster Banai, on Tatooine as he investigates the inconsistencies surrounding his wife and unborn child's supposed death after Mustafar. Oh, and he never burned to a crisp, either.)

I wish I could recall where I saw these, but anyway, I found them amusing...

I keep forgetting to share this awesome macro/whatever that ink3 found.

Here are the last five drabbles (yay!). As stated before, all are 100 words in length, canon/AU (I can't write AH), various ratings, and various characters and pairings - both romantic and not. And thanks again to Jenn for her encouragement (and Stephanie for her lovely feedback - I'll finally get back to you on yours soon, sweets). ♥

Here are the first five. I've already posted all 25 over on FFn, but at least here in my journal, I can post them with the pictures for each prompt. All are 100 words in length, canon/AU (I can't write AH), various ratings, and various characters and pairings - both romantic and not.

So I saw Eclipse. I watched one of the cam versions floating around out there - I'm both glad I didn't have to shell out for it and still intrigued enough that I might still want to see it in theatre in a few weeks, after the hoopla's all but completely died down.

And that should give you a pretty big hint about how I felt about the movie.

I hated the book. Like fiery-hated it. Mainly because all three of the main characters (already walking a fine line) are such dicks. So of course I carried some of that disdain into the movie - which to its credit definitely makes me not hate them as much.

Anyway, upshot? Eclipse is a choppy, uneven, tedious at times, yet still bafflingly entertaining mess overall. I mean, say what you will about the first two films, but they were fairly go-with-the-flow-y in a way that Eclipse just... isn't. It's like the director shot a couple dozen short films about the same group of folks and then haphazardly strung it all together. Not that there's a lot of depth to be had, but jfc, if I hadn't read the book, I might not have known the purpose of any of the shit that was going on.

And after everything I'd heard from people who saw the movie before me, I'm sort of disappointed that I clearly didn't think the film was as good as most of them did. No doubt I was expecting too much after all of those glowing assessments. I'd been given the impression that the acting was uniformly better, for one, which it wasn't (Kristen was no better but thankfully no worse, same with Taylor, and Rob was still terrible - though he looked like he was enjoying himself a bit more, at least). With the exception of Charlie and the Cullens, the rest of the characters may as well have not existed; and I'm including Riley and Victoria in the nix-their-existence category, because they seemed more like footnotes than anything. There was no real sense of danger - what 'conflict' there was was pretty much entirely between Bella, Edward, and Jacob. It was definitely nice to see an ease to the Edward/Bella chemistry this time that we really hadn't seen even hints of since maybe the bedroom kiss and prom scenes in Twilight. They were more affectionate and couple-y, and I'm not just talking about the kissing and fooling around stuff. So that was nice. The cinematography was as nicely done as the previews had lead me to believe, but the editing. Oh man, what a fucking hack job. And the direction was all over the place, very uneven. Don't even get me started on the sheer lunacy of the script.

So... yeah.

I've tired myself out now. Heh. I'm going to take a nap before work. Ugggggghhh.
