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?

I agree with everything you have said here. In light of recent discussions on the MA list, I'm thinking that it might be interesting here to reverse the typical gender roles. I see Siri as a strong personality, very dominant, and someone who doesn't take shit from anybody. I can see Obi bowing down to that, and being kind of bewildered by her. I think that she's a female version of a young impulsive Qui-Gon, and so of course, that appeals to my Obi!muse...


Then, of course, she spent all that time undercover with the pirates. It makes her a very unorthodox Jedi, indeed! Lots o' fun!

I liked FernWithy's take on Siri's "straying" from the Jedi path during her undercover work. She's probably got a lot to teach Obi about life outside the Order. *grin*

In fact, I have rather a hard time seeing her as Ferus' master. Ferus seems more like an Obi-Wan type of padawan, and Anakin more like a Siri padawan.

I agree with that completely! I've already started to exploit that idea, in fact. Thanks for your comments, Rita!
