Jasati - JK. My main girl. Theron x Jas OTP forever and ever. The reluctant Commander who went through a real depressive out of her mind phase during the whole losing five years and getting possessed (again) by the Emperor time period. Probably retired and living somewhere on Odessen, or at least trying to.
Stuff I've written about Jas, in vaguely chronological order:
Something Awful in Common - Jas and Kira bond over being possessed
It's an evil cult, not art history - Halloween prompt
The Edge of Devastation - WIP - Ziost and afterward
Last Life Day + All I Want for Life Day is You - Life Day prompts and ficlets spanning pre-carbonite through Jas' disappearance and after.
Boycott Love (E) - The first fic I wrote about Theron and Jas, smutty angst exploring the early days of Jas' return and pieces of their relationship.
The Spaces Between - The in-between scenes spanning Forged Alliances through KotFE/KotET.
A Miscarriage of Destiny - A retelling of chapter 12 of KotFE where the Outlander meets Satele Shan and Darth Marr on Odessen.
Hunt You Down (E) - Some traitor arc smut
Sao'la - My sweet little Sith. Precious mouse. She exists in her own universe because she's just occupies too much space in my brain right now to share it with anyone. She's not the Commander. She did her thing in the sith warrior story and then kind of fucked off until Arcann showed up. She never made Darth. She's this sweet kid tasked with the impossible. She's a fucking badass and fights for the Empire and her family is super rich so whatever she's the main character. She loved Quinn fiercely, but I dunno, I don't things ever really recovered after The Incident and then after Another Incident. She found Theron (or Theron found her) and they had a thing that wasn't supposed to be serious, but then it kind of was? I am marinating SO MUCH SHIT for this girl. (baby girl you need some art that isn't picrew fr fr)
An Ill Omen - Sao'la's arrival on Balmorra, from Quinn's POV
Hidden Inferno - just a wee nightmare
Literary Device - some smut
The Marriage Contract - WIP - Sao'la and Quinn get married without ever really working through what happened which weirdly wasn't all sunshine and roses.
Ruest - Baby boy Ru-Ru, my love. Poor, sad, little Cipher Nine. He loves Watcher 2, like, probably was a little out of pocket, workplace harassment, slightly stalker in love with Watcher 2. He lives in the same universe as Jas and was recruited into the Alliance by Lana. I think eventually he found Watcher 2 and they got married and had babies, at least that's how he thinks it's going to go.
Retirement - This was a Halloween prompt that turned into some angst and Lana trying to recruit him into the Alliance.
Te'Jal - TJ is Ruest's sister. She's Pirate Queen of Port Nowhere. She'll help out the Alliance, for a price, though she's quite content to sit on her mountains of credits. TJ and Jas are buddies! Don't know how they met or why they're so close, but they're lovely together. (Her in game appearance does not match what's in my head... too young, too thin, not colorful enough.)
Te'Jal shows up once in The Spaces Between and several times in All I Want for Life Day is You!
Aqilah - Barsen'thor; I go back and forth if she exists in the same universe as Jas. She romanced Arcann, but I really miss Felix. She's a bookish nerd who, if she were Commander, would take the throne because no one else can be trusted to just chill the fuck out and be peaceful. She's got those healy hands so when Arcann wanted to spar with swords for their date she was kind of weirded out tbh.
Pekk - Ok so Pekk is still in the molding phase. She started out as a Cathar named after my cat to romance Jorgen, but then I got so many amazing flirts and conversations with Jonas that now I have this whole Cadet on temporary duty with the SIS and a little summer love affair with Jonas and then they meet again after she's in Havoc story rotating in my brain. I also really love how every conversation with Jorgan about the Deadeyes is "oh, we could ask Jonas!" and he's just like "UUGGGGHHH You and your stupid spy boyfriend." Pekk literally only exists in this very small time frame.
Characters I made for conquest and got too attached to:
Hat Yai - He's a Chiss bounty hunter named after food. There wasn't a whole lot going on but then I bought him a cool Mando outfit and he and Mako are just so adorable together. He tries really hard to be a good guy for her, but man the bounty hunting thing is a rough business. He's still chugging through the main story, but I don't think he's Commander material. Probably like TJ, he just sits on his piles of credits and does jobs for whoever pays.
Jebamee - Darth Noxxxxx the wretched. Cruel squid head. She's just there to pick the absolute worst option. I skipped as far as I could with her after the main inquisitor story was over so she's not the Commander. She was probably hanging out on DK and Nar Shaddaaa subjugating people and running her little cult. She had the romance with the pirate, but Darth Rivix has piqued her interest now! (Sao'la HATES Rivix. She's so annoyed by him just being around.)
Oscasito - Man slut smuggler. He will always pick the easy way out, especially if it ends up with more dollary doos. Does he love Risha? Maybe? He REALLY loves that she's a Princess. Really doesn't understand why she just doesn't marry the guy that wants to make her Queen, they can still be fuck buddies. Hell, King guy can join in! My man is not picky.

there's this goofy 1920s sao'la/quinn only somewhat star wars-esque, low force au that floats around in my head sometimes that's basically just me listening to taylor swift songs
okay, gonna word vomit all the things about my weird af AU
low Force, like real low
low tech, but still some tech things. we have cars! but also datapads, but no cell phones. only landlines. oh and blasters.
no space, everything is on a single planet. planets like Dromund Kaas, Korriban, etc are like provinces in The Empire. Alderaan is a country with its noble houses. the Republic is probably Some Other Continent. a loosely aligned collection of nations. are they at war? who knows, not me!
the Sith are a culture/religion within the Empire. being Sith, being able to claim lineage to great Sith conquerors of the past can dictate much of a person's social status.
but everyone's human cuz all my dollies are human so everyone gets to be human
the Empire is ruled by the Council of Lords. I gueeessss all the Lords are Sith? I mean there's Marr, Baras, Kallig.... others
I do not want to be making so much lore for this tbh D:

11 12 and 14 for Jas and one other OC of your choice!
Thank youuuuuuu for the ask! :B
11: What were they scared of as a child?
Jas - I don't know if she was really ever scared of anything as a little, little kid. She was a certified Little Shit who filled this role of "everyone is telling me how great I am, so it must be true!" She was 11 when the Sacking happened so I think after that she realized that the Jedi weren't invincible. That there were things out there that could really hurt the people she cared about.
Sao'la - Other than the obvious after her family was murdered and her house burned down, growing up with this idea that she was so very different than the people around her. She knew that she was Sith, but it wasn't like... Sith as the Force using soldier for the Empire. It was Sith as a culture, as the ruling class of the Empire. So she has this idea in her head of who she thinks she's supposed to be, of what she thinks is going to be expected of her, and she knows she can't live up to all that.
12: Do they have religion/faith?
Jas - It's kind of a weird thing with the Force because each sect has their idea of how it works, what they gain from it, rules they're supposed to follow. Jas generally believes what the Jedi teach, until she's older and has to make all these Big Decisions in the class story and she starts to question it. But she never loses faith in the Force, and that things happen for a reason and we all have a part to play.
Sao'la - I think that she has faith in the like... dynastic principles she was brought up in. That the Sith are the pinnacle of culture and power in the galaxy. And she's so far outside of it, there is a lot of faith put into these systems that she hasn't experienced. As for the Force... she comes to view it more as a tool rather than something more divinely guided the way the Jedi might view it.
14: Who was their first love?
Ooooooh this is a good one.
Jas - As a certified Little Shit who knew she was The Best, there were definitely times that Jas flouted the rules, like relationships. There was probably some teenage romance, but not really love. I think on some level she did love Doc, but not in the way that leads to building a life together. He was Mr. Right Now. Theron... she fell head over heels for Theron, and she knew it. She realized this could be A Problem, but she really was ready to throw it all away so they could be together if that's what it came to. There's actually a bit in the next chapter of Edge where she really starts to think about this a little bit.
As she looked at him, she realized she would sacrifice this—her connection to Theron, her deep feelings—if it meant stopping Vitiate. What she wasn’t sure she could sacrifice though, was him. Her life she would give freely, but his? How wretchedly she had begged Vitiate to stop hurting him.
Sao'la - Sao'la is very unlucky with men. I think that she also had a teenage romance, probably on Alderaan, and she thinks she loved that boy whoever he was. Maybe a page in House Rist. Idk if he did something or it was just poor timing, but she had to leave him behind. There's a point in her late teens where she runs away. A bit of teen angst, and a bit of "you really shouldn't have hidden things from me." She falls in with the wrong crowd, probably cartel of smugglers. Falls in love with some roguish chap. He's not a good guy. Probably realizes she's rich, a Sith, tries to use that to his advantage. Doesn't work out so well. And then there's Quinn... and I think she got over all the other heartbreaks, but this one I don't think she'll ever move past.

This informal survey aims to gather statistics on the length and completion status readers on AO3 prefer for fanfic.
The survey is not aff
I put together a relatively short survey (about two dozen questions, mostly multiple choice, all optional) to get some data on what fic lengths and completion statuses readers on AO3 prefer or avoid. If I get enough answers to have a good sample size, it should give us some insight into how people search and read on the archive.
If you find this interesting, feel free to share it with AO3 users elsewhere or post it to other platforms. I'd like to get a good crossection of readers that isn't biased by platform, if at all possible.
The survey is just for fun/curiosity, and isn't associated with any university, company, or other entity. It's just me asking you this stuff here :)
I'm not putting a deadline on this, I'll just let it run until I've got some good numbers, but whenever I do have enough I'll post the results here. You can track this post to watch for that update.
It'd be interesting to see the demographics breakdown of which age groups cares about something being complete or getting regular updates or length. As an older fan, I don't care if it's complete or abandoned. I will read it if it looks interesting and fits the fandom/ship/tags I'm interested in. Some of my favorite works never finished, and I don't lament that or feel slighted by the author for not finishing. It exists and is beautiful for what it is and I am thankful that the author shared what they had. But I also wonder if this has more to do with being a writer, understanding an author's mindset that sometimes you lose steam, but still what to share this thing you made. Or you fall away from that fandom, or are consumed by your life outside of the internet, but your writing is still a labor of your love and deserves to be read and enjoyed.
I also wonder if its the younger folks with more time and fewer responsibilities who prefer 100k+ epics where as I with two kids and a full schedule and all my own writing I would like to do, look at something that long and start to sweat. Something I can consume in a 15-30 minute sitting is my preferred length, but again, I will read just about anything that fits my fandom/ship/favorite tags! It'll just take me way longer to finish that epic.
ok at first I used a VPN to connect through Mexico, BUT I found deer.social works because apparently bluesky is an AT Protocol Client, and a bluesky account is an AT Protocol account. Use the same name and password in a different client.
