An unusual rec, for me

[emmagrant01]

Rec'ed to me by littlesnitch. I'm passing on the crossover love!

Title: Blame the Hyperdrive
Author: Luminous Marble (luminousmarble)
Rating: R
Fandoms: original trilogy Star Wars and Harry Potter!
Summary: Harry/Luke, with a smidgen of Hermione/Han on the side. Humor.

Link: http://www.luminousmarble.com/blamethehyperdrive.htm

Review: So, I hate crossovers. I really, really hate them. And I only read this one because littlesnitch sent me the link personally. Oh. My. God. If you love OT Star Wars, and you love HP, you just have to read this. The characterizations and the dialogue are simply perfect! As a person who loves both fandoms, I actually found myself continually confused about where the fic was set -- it wove the realities that well! If you're into both fandoms, you should read this. If you've ever pondered how much the stories of Luke and Harry parallel each other, you should read this. Aw, hell, you should just read it, period. It's short, it's funny, and it's great!

Heh. I'm not usually one for crossovers myself and I certainly never would have thought of this one.

That said, I am a fan of both universes so I felt compelled to give it a read.

Very funny. I liked it.

Oh, thanks for letting me know! I'll make that change next time I update.

Just had to drop by and say how great it is that I'm not the only one still into Star Wars fiction. It seemed like there was such a burst of them after TPM, but it all came to a crushing halt. My focus is primarily on other fandoms, but since I started out on Star Wars fiction and slash, it will always be near to my fic-writing-heart.

Over and out.

There's still quite a bit going on over on the Master-Apprentice list, actually. Are you on that list?

Hmmm, I read "Blame the Hyperdrive" months ago, I wasn't terribly fond of it then, and the re-read didn't help. Two reasons, I think. First, I would have liked a bit more "stuff" out of the fic, as though it didn't really show enough. Shallow. Second, I can only take so many lightsaber euphamisms in one short fic. There were some funny lines, but it just didn't hold up for me.

Do you know any better HP/SW crossovers?
