Arrrgh!

Okay, I have this thing about Obi/Siri -- and there are surprisingly few of those kinds of fics out there. So, of course, I've decided to write a few for myself. I had something all mapped out, and was ready to start writing it, when I picked up a copy of JQ 5 -- and there is my story, sans naughty bits and sexual tension -- but the same friggin' story! Am I channeling Jude Watson? Or are there only like 8 plotlines out there?

Sigh...

Well, after extensive searching on the web, I have found very little Obi/Siri stuff. Most of it isn't that great. Of course, there's the wonderful A Family Portrait by FernWithy. (If you haven't read it, oh, please do!) There was a little thread of discussion on a Jedi Council forum about the lack of O/S out there, and I contributed to it, but haven't heard anything yet. I'm thinking that I'm going to put together a little Obi/Siri web page, and try to collect decent fic to post there. When I get a little more organized, I'll send out a note to a few of the lists I'm on to see if anyone else is interested.

I'm thinking of tweaking my story and posting it here as a WIP. I know that most of the people who might possibly read this are slash fans, but is there any interest in reading this? Is there anyone else who'd like to read/write O/S?

Siri/Obi

Siri/Obi has been growing on me because of the JQ books. I didn't like her as a padawan but the adult Siri agrees with me and she is a good match for Obi. I would certainly love to see an archive or mailing list centered on them.

Siri/Obi has been growing on me because of the JQ books. I didn't like her as a padawan but the adult Siri agrees with me and she is a good match for Obi.

I think that from her very first appearance, I starting waiting for the two of them to get together. They just got on each other's nerves in so many ways -- it was almost a cliche, you know? When Tahl and Qui did that platonic thing right before she died (sorry if that's a spoiler for anyone!), I really got my hopes up. When JW brought her back in JQ, I nearly flipped out. Of course, I have to keep reminding myself that love is not likely in Jude's Obi's future. After all, he has to be a contrast to both Qui-Gon and Anakin. But, in my little universe, well *evil grin*

I would certainly love to see an archive or mailing list centered on them.

I'm glad to hear that! I'm going to put an O/S page on the QAJ page -- as soon as I can figure out how to get in that account...

*grins sheepishly at Helens*
