You Eat What You Are

Hi Kyluxers, 

I would like to introduce the Kylux TLJ Fic Challenge! 

This is a fic challenge open to all writers to write a kylux fic or ficlet of any length set after the events of TLJ! Fics and ficlets are due on Thursday, February 1st and should be posted with the hashtag #kylux-tlj-fic-challenge or the mention @kylux-tlj-fic-challenge In addition, fics and ficlets posted to AO3 should be tagged in the Kylux_TLJ_Fic_Challenge collection!

Again, the only rules of this challenge are 

1. Kylux

2. Post-TLJ

3. Post your work on February 1 and tag the blog so I can find you!

I’m so excited for this chance to meet new writers to kylux and to see new work from familiar fandom faces! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Guys, this is really important. Until now, Google collected your data, but did not attach your name to it. Now, they can, and will. This new thing they’re doing will allow them to collect your data across searches, your email, Youtube, Maps, Google+, and all their affiliates, and build a complete profile of YOU.

If that doesn’t bother you, maybe this will: they own and can sell all that data, including anything you create and send (artists and writers, take note).

There is a way you can opt out of this ridiculousness. It’s described in the link, but if you’re still not sure about it, please ask me and I’ll guide you through how to turn all this off.

However it originated, though, the usage of “because-noun” (and of “because-adjective” and “because-gerund”) is one of those distinctly of-the-Internet, by-the-Internet movements of language. It conveys focus (linguist Gretchen McCulloch: “It means something like ‘I’m so busy being totally absorbed by X that I don’t need to explain further, and you should know about this because it’s a completely valid incredibly important thing to be doing’”). It conveys brevity (Carey: “It has a snappy, jocular feel, with a syntactic jolt that allows long explanations to be forgone” “It has a snappy, jocular feel, with a syntactic jolt that allows long explanations to be forgone”).

Dear Vader,

By the time you read this, I’ll be dead. Here’s how I think it will happen: Tarkin will blow me up with the Death Star, then you and he will blow up Alderaan with the Death Star. Then Luke will enter and blow up Tarkin with the Death Star and try to kill you multiple times.

Sincerely,

Director Krennic
