⭐!!! for the director's cut ask game
Thank you @s-c-g-s-c-g 😊 Once more such trust my decision so…
I’ve recently returned to my published work ‘The Clone Fuckability Index’ which contains no actual on-screen fucking. One reviewer said it was the Ace-est thing they ever read. Which I take as a high compliment because I am very ace 😉
Anyway that fic’s first shitty rough draft was spawned years ago in the dawn ages of my Star Wars obsession. I’d read a couple of fics on the premises of ‘all clones attracted to Obi Wan’, who was at the time my one and shining blorbo so I gobbled those fics down like a kid with chocolate cake, wanted more and found myself with the harrowing prospect of having to Write My Own.
Which didn’t get too far beyond a single chapter of ‘Obi Wan shows up on Kamino and all the clones go ‘oh no, he’s hot!’ I didn’t really have anything more so I shoved the story into a document of shitty rough drafts that didn’t yet warrant being a WIP’.
But it was an idea I kept returning to, re-writing and occasionally adding more. As I grew deeper into Star Wars and added Cody, Fox, even Alpha-17 to my blorbos I fleshed out the clone PoV’s. As I got into Ferus I added the blurb about Ferus seeing all the clones and going ‘oh no, they’re ALL hot!’ because it was funny.
And then came upon the concept of Sithspawn clones. The concept ate my brain and spat out an actual reason for clones to collectively have a crush on not just Obi Wan but all Jedi (I had a lot of Jedi blorbos). Also the thought of the Sith foolishly disregarding beta testing and scientific procedures and therefore getting clones who want to fuck Jedi instead of kill Jedi was hilarious! This also led to, dare I say it, a plot for the Clones would need to figure out why they’re all hot for Jedi this can’t be normal right?
Thus I came to the ridiculous yet reasonable conclusion that the clones figure out Palpatine is a Sith because he’s just that unfuckable. It makes sense in story (even if it didn’t I’d have to add it in). The chapters finally flowed, a sub-plot of ‘wtf is gender’ developed to spark yet more joy.
A long and loving review had me coming back to the story and rereading it and realizing how bare it was of scenery details. So I’ve gone back and started filling in those details, fleshing out a few characters and anchoring people in place. I’m hoping to eventually post it again, this time with more detail but either way if I could have one contribution to the Star Wars fandom this would be it 😊
