Happy Star Wars Day! :)
To those of you who've been asking: Yes, I finally have the last sets of screencaptures from season 4 of TCW up! Apologies for the delay. Here they are: Anakin, Padmé, A/P.
Great news for female Star Wars and Her Universe fans... starting today, Her Universe's new products will be available on HotTopic.com! I'm so happy for Ashley - it's her (and our) next step into a larger world, with HU products showing up on a huge chain store website. And be sure to check out Her Universe's website tomorrow and snag that AWESOME new tote bag! If you're not sure what I'm talking about, you will be tomorrow. :) HU is our best shot at getting more gorgeous Padmé and A/P wearables out there, so they definitely deserve our support!
Also, last but not least, I've updated the Spotlight with an AOTC theme in honor of this month's anniversary!
Aeryn @ 6:33 pm CST
May 1, 2012
Ten years this month since Attack of the Clones was first released! I feel... old. ;)
Believe it or not, there was an A/P fandom prior to AOTC: but it was very small, very lonely, and at times very frustrating. Prior to AOTC, I could count on one hand the number of authors out there who wrote A/P (at that time going by A/A for "Anakin/Amidala") without it being part of the dreaded Monster!Anakin/Angel!Padmé/Saint!Obi-Wan triangle - where Obi-Wan and Padmé were the true star-crossed lovers, and Anakin the unwelcome intruder. Love triangle theories and debates were rampant and bloody. It wasn't exactly the most rewarding experience to be an A/P shipper. In fact, TMOI's very origins came out of my early thoughts of having an "anti-triangle" website. I wanted some place I could revel in my pro-A/A nature without Obidala sticking its nose in everywhere. But even back then I realized it was much more fun to spend time SUPPORTING something I like than DWELLING on something I disliked, so I started TMOI.
AOTC's release changed so much. Now that we finally had an on-screen realization of the romance (pretty kisses!), and a gorgeous adult Anakin to drool over, A/P material popped up everywhere. TMOI was bombarded with submissions. Whatever you think of AOTC, 2002 was an exquisitely busy and manic time to be an A/P shipper. There was an upsurge in fan art, fan fiction, and fan sites all devoted to A/P. The utter absence of any triangle hints in the movie laid to rest many of the fandom love triangle debates. Woohoo!
Now, it feels like things have come back full circle in some ways: we're in a prolonged quiet period, and as it was in 1999, we're back down to two regularly updated A/P-related fan sites, TMOI and Anakin And His Angel. At least this time we're not plagued by Obidala debates. ;)
On a separate note, you may notice the new link here on the main page. Fellow A/P Defender and collector Erika has started an online petition for acclaimed collector-doll designer Robert Tonner to produce more Star Wars dolls - especially but not limited to renditions of Padmé's wardrobe for the three prequels! Tonner is known for producing detailed doll versions of dozens of on-screen characters (among others), perhaps most famously Harry Potter, Gone With the Wind, and The Hunger Games soon to come. Years ago Tonner did release a couple of gorgeous, expensive, extremely limited-edition dolls based on two of Amidala's TPM gowns (the parade and the kimono - check some great pics out in the last two rows of the gallery here), but nothing since then. If video games like Tomb Raider warrant the Tonner treatment, an epic film series like Star Wars, and especially Trisha Biggar's amazing costume design work, certainly does! If you are interested in seeing more high-quality SW collectibles like Tonner dolls, or share my dream of one day owning a 16-inch fully-detailed A/P wedding doll set... check the petition out!
Happy AOTC Anniversary, May the Fourth be with you, and enjoy the new calendar! I actually got it up at the BEGINNING of the month this time! :)
Aeryn @ 10:25 pm CST
April 11, 2012
One day better than the previous months: the April calendar! :) I'd been struggling for inspiration, and then the Clone Wars micro-series comments on the tag-board gave me an idea.
I am working on other content to add, I promise. I just don't have near the time that I used to to work on this site; I'm hoping that will change in the next few months.
Aeryn @ 7:55 pm CST
March 12, 2012
And again it's the 12th of the month... here's hoping April will be better! I've been drained the better part of this past month by a super-nasty chest bug, which even now is just barely hanging on. In honor of the season of renewal, here's what is hopefully a bright, springy enough March calendar. :)
Aeryn @ 8:56 pm CST
February 12, 2012
Happy early Valentine's, A/P fans! Just a quickie for now, because I'm on my way out the door to see TPM in 3D (woohoo!) - the February calendar, TPM-themed in honor of this month's re-release! :)
Aeryn @ 1:46 pm CST
January 22, 2012
You know, if I thought petitioning Dave Filoni and company for more A/P TCW episodes would have any impact, I'd totally do it. But the very nature of this series means that episodes are planned and created way, WAY before the air date. You can bet money Season 5 is already in production, and beyond that? Well, I'd love to see it, but it's not a guarantee at this point. Either way... yeah, I'm pretty grumbly when it comes to how much A/P we've gotten in the series. Yes, the show is called "The Clone WARS," which means by its nature - and I wouldn't expect otherwise - there's going to be a hefty focus on battles and lightsaber duels and undercover missions and the like. But TCW is still Star Wars, and the A/P relationship is still extremely crucial to the shape of the Star Wars saga as a whole - not just to Anakin and Padmé's own journeys. Luke and Leia didn't come from the stork! ;) So to neglect the A/P relationship does it and TCW something of a disservice, I think. Of course, watch me rant now and then the last few episodes of this season will be an A/P-palooza...
I was delaying updating because I'd hoped to have the next update include the fanfics I've been coding. And the two main (quite long) fics I'm coding are about 80% coded, I'd say. So next update, I fully intend to have them. In the meantime, I don't see the point in delaying the Clone Wars screencap updates any further, and I'm already several episodes behind on those, so here you go: Anakin, Padmé, A/P.
Aeryn @ 6:36 pm CST
January 2, 2012
Happy New Year! Still catching up on Clone Wars material: added all the A/P moments up through the currently aired episodes, finished the quotes for season 3, and added some behind the scenes quotes for season 4. (Catherine Taber gives a lot of interviews, and she LOVES to talk about our favorite couple. :)) I've still yet to add the episode quotes for season 4 - it's a little tricky, because while our pair does exchange dialogue in the first few episodes, most of it is purely functional, and I don't see any point in transcribing that.
STILL in the process of coding fanfics to add. Somehow those always get pushed to the bottom of my stack - probably because they're the most time consuming, especially the long stories. That will be my goal for this coming weekend, to finally get those cracked out.
You might notice some changes to the Spotlight: in addition to new featured items, I've switched out the all-but-defunct wallpaper challenge for a Monthly Calendar. Each month, I'll be posting a new calendar here at TMOI - I imagine many of them will be made by me, but if you feel inspired to do one of your own you'd like to see posted, please drop me a line!
New Clone Wars this Friday! I've waited long enough, haven't you? ;)
Aeryn @ 2:09 pm CST
December 5, 2011
All caught up on Clone Wars screencaptures, all the way through "Slaves of the Republic" (who's up for photomanipping Padmé into the place of Queen Miraj in some of those shots, right ? ;)): here.
Clone Wars A/P moments and interview quotes to be added next update!
In the meantime, some slightly bumming news on the A/P merchandise front: a friend of mine spoke with Ashley Eckstein at New York Comic Con some weeks ago, and asked when Her Universe would be selling that japor snippet recreation I posted about here a while back. Ashley told my friend that Her Universe was unable to track down the original artist for the snippet - which means they can't get permission to use the design, which means - alas - no HU japor snippet recreation. :( However, a silver lining: there will indeed be some A/P-themed items at Her Universe in the not-too-distant future! I know when that does happen, we'll all be sure to support Ashley and HU in showing that there is indeed a market for A/P items! :) After all, that gorgeous Padmé shirt of theirs was perhaps the most popular shirt I saw at Celebration V...
Aeryn @ 7:30 pm CST
October 4, 2011
Too tired for anything else, so here they are, the image galleries from "Shadow Warrior": Anakin, Padmé, and A/P.
Aeryn @ 10:00 pm CST
September 26, 2011
Good, the tag-board seems to have gotten its act together for now. Since I may not be able to update later this week and I'm a bit overdue anyway, here're the image updates for "Prisoners": Anakin, Padmé, and A/P.
Also, TMoI regular Hannah has a suggestion for a possible future fic challenge - let us know what you think!
Aeryn @ 9:28 p.m. CST
September 24, 2011
Yes, alas, I am aware of the issues with the tag-board. If they don't resolve themselves VERY quickly, I'll be on the hunt for a new tag-board provider. Sorry about the glitch, guys. Also, still in the process of capping this week's CW episode. Feel free to drop any questions or comments on the forums until the tag-board issue is resolved.
The good news... another CW episode with our pair next week! Hopefully this one will have more in the way of affectionate moments than the previous two, though.
In the meantime, the caps from "Water War" and "Gungan Attack" have been added to Anakin's, Padmé's, and A/P's galleries.
Aeryn @ 8:01 p.m. CST
September 10, 2011
The wait is almost over! This time next week, I'll be posting screencaps from season 4 of TCW! :) The saga Blu-rays come out the same day too, but it's going to be a while longer to figure out how I can cap those. Ideally, I'd like to recap the entire A/P-relevant portions of the saga, but we'll see how involved an effort it's going to be.
Also on the screencaps front: you asked for them, you got 'em! Caps and stills from the last three episodes of TCW season 3 are now up in Anakin's galleries, as well as screencaps of the A/P portions of Lego SW III: TCW. I nearly died laughing while capping the Geonosis segment. :)
Still in the process of coding fanfics; I hope to have those next update.
Aeryn @ 4:26 p.m. CST
July 17, 2011
No excuses, no apologies. Straight to the update:
Couple: 12 scans from the "Darth Vader: The Lost Command" comic, where during a mission Vader is plagued by visions of a life he might have had with Padmé if he'd never turned to the Dark Side. Many thanks to izzy_the_hutt for her hard work scanning those in!
Fan fic updates to come next.
Aeryn @ 9:35 p.m. CST
May 29, 2011
Surprise, I'm alive! :) Welcome to the new layout, I hope you all enjoy it!
Content updates to come soon; getting the new layout coded was a lot of work.
Aeryn @ 1:48 p.m. CST
March 6, 2011
Three episodes left of the season! I'm trying to think of ideas of things to do/update the site with during the CW hiatus. Any suggestions? Maybe icon challenges, or flash fic/drabble challenges? Weekly chats? Let me know what you think. :)
Keen-eyed visitors will notice I've put shiny new graphics on the main A/P fic page to designate the specific fic eras, and I've re-added the Clone Wars section, including a few fics that were "lost" in the last big site glitch. Also, anakin_girl: I've still got your fic, just figuring out how I'm going to code it for posting! :) Today's update:
Anakin: Images from "Counterattack."
Padmé: Images from "Ghosts of Mortis."
Couple: Images from "Ghosts of Mortis"; three AOTC fanfics by Leia Naberrie.
Also, this week, I plan on starting putting together the new layout. :) See you soon!
Aeryn @ 8:36 p.m. CST
February 21, 2011
Hard to believe we're almost finished with season three already - all I have to say right now is Season 4 better make it up to us in the A/P department! Today's update:
Anakin: Images from "Ghosts of Mortis" and "The Citadel."
I'll try to have another update soon. :)
Aeryn @ 2:16 p.m. CST
February 9, 2011
Mini-update tonight, because this was just too adorable not to share: the trailer for the upcoming Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars video game. Hilarious and adorable as usual, and there's even a great little A/P moment - which I've screencapped, of course.
Couple: Screencaps from the new Lego trailer.
Have a good week, everyone!
Aeryn @ 8:35 p.m. CST
February 7, 2011
I've reached a point where online life just isn't the priority for me that it used to be - not that I've ever been consistent in how often I update, of course. I still love SW, still love A/P and this site, though, so I plan to keep going, even if it only means updating once a month. Ideally, it'll be more often, but that'll depend on whether this online apathy is just a phase or not.
There've been some great ideas for the new layout - the prevailing sentiment seems to be that there should be a Clone Wars theme, and that's kind of where I'm leaning myself. However, my intense negligence means that I haven't officially started designing the new layout yet, so there's still time to get in your suggestions! Let me know in this thread. Content updates:
Anakin: Images from the last several TCW episodes, plus a couple of new Season 3 promo pics.
Couple: One new fanfic.
Misc. Added five entries for Wallpaper Challenge 14! Also, I've added one more entry to Challenge 13, since it was one I apparently missed a few months ago - so check it out, and don't forget to vote for your favorite entry!
Catch you guys later! Not too much later, though, I hope. ;)
Aeryn @ 8:05 p.m. CST
December 26, 2010
Hope everyone's having a wonderful holiday season! The CW hiatus is almost over, guys. :) A couple of you guys have sent in fics, and I promise I'll get to those in the next update.
I'm thinking of designing a new site layout for TMOI. Do you have ideas for what you'd like TMOI to look like in the future? Here's your chance to influence a future layout! Let me know in this thread.
Voting for Wallpaper Challenge 13 has been opened, and Challenge 14 is now open for submissions! I've also finally updated the "Spotlight" sidebar, including a cute fic perfect for this time of year. :) Content updates:
Padmé: Images from "Pursuit of Peace."
Couple: Two new book images; one lovely wallpaper from Jen at Anakin and his Angel!
Misc. Wallpaper Challenge 14 open!
Catch you guys later!
Aeryn @ 11:28 p.m. CST
December 3, 2010
Sorry about the slowness in getting these images up! I'm exhausted, so the rest of this update will have to wait until tomorrow night or Sunday.
Bad news, guys: tonight's CW episode is the last one for a month! :( Commence CW withdrawal symptoms... NOW.
Anakin: Images from "Heroes on Both Sides."
Padmé: Images from "Heroes on Both Sides."
Couple: Images from "Heroes on Both Sides."
Catch you guys later!

November 14, 2010
Last night's CW was totally bizarre, wasn't it? In a good way, IMO. And we get another Padmé/Ahsoka team-up next week!
Bit of news: On November 21, fellow A/P site Anakin And His Angel will have its 10th anniversary. AAHA started up not too long after TMOI, and has been the only other A/P-related website that's remained strong all this time. Congrats to Jen for 10 great years! Jen has a number of events planned for the month-long celebration, so pop by there and check them out! Don't forget to also take a peek at the November calendar, designed by yours truly. ;) Now, TMOI updates:
Couple: One miscellaneous image - but it's a spectacular one, IMO. This is a piece from the recently-published book Star Wars: Visions, which I plan on picking up as soon as I have the money. The piece is both beautiful and heartbreaking, perfect for our couple.
Miscellaneous: Echoed Moments is back! Just the A/P section for now, with more to come soon!
I know I said something a little while back about the wallpaper challenge, but given the late hour, that'll have to wait until next update. Catch you later!
Aeryn @ 12:27 a.m. CST
November 7, 2010
So, we've officially had more episodes with A/P together in season 3 than all of season 2, though it's only been little spoonfuls so far. Better than nothing, for sure... but I'd die of squee if we just had one little kiss, wouldn't you?
Anakin: Images from "Evil Plans."
Padmé: Images from "Evil Plans."
Couple: Images from "Evil Plans;" and added the episode moments and quotes sections.
Aeryn @ 6:47 p.m. CST
October 24, 2010
More season 3 updates! Lots of pics and quotes:
Anakin: Screencaps from "Assassin."
Padmé: Screencaps from "Assassin."
Couple: Screencaps from "Assassin," lots of new Cat Taber A/P interview quotes, and added the season 3 episode moments and quotes sections.
Aeryn @ 4:27 p.m. CST
October 23, 2010
The wallpaper/art gallery is back up. Unfortunately, some files seem to be missing now, which I'll have to re-upload.
PLEASE do not post Clone Wars episode spoilers on the tag-board until Saturday nights (American time zones), guys! There are a lot of people like me who don't get to see the episode until Saturday morning at the earliest. If you absolutely can't wait to gush about the episode, that's what the message boards are for.
Updates for today: I've begun the process of adding Season 3 images to the galleries. I've added everything but the screencaps from last night's episode and from "ARC Troopers," since that episode was lost on my old computer and I haven't re-downloaded it yet. Images here: Anakin, Padmé, A/P.
Aeryn @ 11:31 a.m. CST
October 20, 2010
You're going to get tired of me apologizing! ;)
I'm working on the wallpaper/fan art gallery issue. I've tried contacting my host on the matter, but so far, no success. Anyone out there an expert in mySQL? ;)
If absolutely nothing else works, then I'll simply rebuild the wallpaper/art gallery in another location. I'm REALLY hoping it doesn't come to that, but I'd much rather spend the weekend rebuilding than let one stupid site glitch wipe out years of effort. Wouldn't you?
Aeryn @ 11:18 p.m. CST
October 13, 2010
SO sorry about the downtime, everyone! I'm hoping to have a content update soon. :)
Several sections, including the P/A fic, are in the process of being rebuilt: somehow, the most recent updates of those sections are gone, which means several of the most recently added fics aren't listed, and the category reorganization I did that I liked so much is gone too. *facepalm* So if your fic was there and isn't now, don't fret; I'm in the process of reconstructing the fic listings. I hope to have that done this weekend. If you guys spot any other errors or anomalies, please let me know!
Aeryn @ 9:16 p.m. CST
September 17, 2010
Put on your party hats everyone, it's CLONE WARS NIGHT!!! If you've got the itch to discuss tonight's two-part premiere, I've set up a thread here on the discussion forums. Keep any spoilers for these episodes there and off the tag-board until tomorrow night!
Anyway, one last bit I forgot to post about Celebration - my autographs! Since I'm sooner likely to conceive by midichlorians than get an Anakin/Padmé photo autographed by both Hayden and Natalie, I'm very happy to have gotten the next best thing: their voice-acting counterparts, and their children. :) Was pretty cool to get Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, too.
Matt Lanter & Catherine Taber (One of Cat's own favorite pictures!) ♥
Matt, Cat, James Arnold Taylor, & Ashley Eckstein (Cat says she loves to sign the gun, heh.)
Ashley Eckstein (Love the way she does her As.)
Mark Hamill & Carrie Fisher
Now, to the updates:
Anakin: 10 stills from TCW 3x02 "ARC Troopers." Slight spoilers.
Couple: Added some new pics of Matt & Cat - some promo shots of the CW cast; some of the gang at the Lucasfilm TCW S3 premiere.
Misc.: Reorganized the "Echoed Moments" section, and completely re-did the A/P part of it. One more entry to the wallpaper challenge! Let me know what you guys want to do for the next challenge - fic or wallpaper - because I intend to close the current challenge and start the new one with the next update.
More - including caps from tonight's episode - to come soon!
Aeryn @ 4:56 p.m. CST
August 29, 2010
First off, if you by chance haven't yet seen the incredible Clone Wars season 3 trailer that aired at Celebration V - do so, now! September 17, guys. Just a few more weeks! This hiatus has been brutal.
Anyway, Celebration was awesome! Lots of prequel/Clone Wars love, lots of wonderful geeking out. Detailed recaps and links to photos (including a few shots of yours truly in her well-received but somewhat uncomfortable Snowbunny Padmé costume) are available at my LiveJournal.
A couple of not earth-shattering, but still good P/A-related bits of news from the convention: First, Dave Filoni (when asked about other possible romantic subplots in TCW) reiterated that the main romance of TCW is really meant to be Anakin and Padmé. ♥ Let's hope this means we have more in store for our couple in season 3! As far as TCW itself, Dave confirmed they would be making TCW for as long as people would watch. (I think I heard in one panel that they're already planning as far ahead as season 5.) Sweet! :D
The second bit of news: I had a chance to briefly meet Ashley Eckstein, who is just as sweet as anyone could hope for. She confirmed to me that the next jewelry item that Her Universe is producing is... a japor snippet! Yes, fellow shippers - at last, we're getting an official replica of that crucial and awesome piece of P/A-dom! (I'm also pleased to report that HU's beautiful Padmé shirt was possibly the most popular shirt at the convention - hopefully the success of this item means we have more Padmé and P/A items coming down the pipe from HU!)
Site updates:
Anakin: Handful of new S3 trailer caps; a couple of new season 3 promo pics.
Padmé: One cap from the new CW season 3 trailer; four lovely new wallpapers.
Couple: Reorganized the main fanfic page, adding categories for the Clone Wars and inter-trilogy (between ROTS/ANH) eras. Also, one miscellaneous image. This was part of the exclusive Celebration V postcard set, and I just cracked up when I saw it. Would have been better with Anakin's robo-arm included, but oh well. ;)
Misc.: Three new entries to the "Favorite Scene" wallpaper challenge! I think I'm going to wrap this one up in the next update, so if you've got an entry, please get that in!
More to come soon!
Aeryn @ 12:35 a.m. CST
August 1, 2010
Ten days to Celebration V! :) Well, to the day I get on my plane, anyway. Perhaps needless to say, there won't be any updates the week I'm in Orlando - so I will try to get at least one more update in before my trip. My A/P-related goals for this con are to get my CW A/P photo autographed by Matt Lanter and Cat Taber (and maybe ask Cat Taber how much Padmé or A/P we can expect in season 3), and hopefully get some pretty pictures of costumed A/P duos like this beautiful one I caught at Celebration IV.
Site updates:
Anakin: Few better-quality caps from the CW Season 3 extended trailer as well as a couple of new season 3 promo pics.
Padmé: One cap from a better-quality CW season 3 trailer.
Misc.: Two new wallpaper entry to the "Favorite Scene" challenge!
Enjoy your week!
Aeryn @ 4:50 p.m. CST
July 13, 2010
Less than a month to Celebration V! I'm so excited! My Padmé costume is nearly ready; closer to convention time I should have pictures of it posted. Hopefully I can find some nice Anakins to pose with so I can have some more site-relevant pics. ;)
In convention related news: two potentially awesome panels! Fellow A/P-er LazyPadawan has broken news of a pro-prequel panel during Celebration V, on Friday, August 13, hosted by Bryan of BigShinyRobot and Star Wars Examiner fame. Sweet! More details to come.
The second potentially cool panel, this one at Comic Con: "Her Universe: Shining the Spotlight on Female Fans - the Past, Present and Future of Science Fiction Through Female Eyes. This unique panel brings together some of today's leading women who are movers and shakers in the various fields of Sci Fi and fantasy. The panel will discuss the influence of women working in the Sci Fi field, what kinds of entertainment female Sci Fi fans want to see more of, how to write fully-realized female Sci Fi characters, what has been missing up to now, and what female fans can do to encourage this growing movement." Hopefully this one will show up at Celebration V too! More info at Her Universe.
For anyone who hasn't seen the Clone Wars Season 3 trailer: Go, do so. Now. Unless you're avoiding spoilers, of course. ;)
Anyhoo, site updates:
Couple: Three 1280x800 wallpapers by me - one TPM, one AOTC, and one photomanip.
Anakin: Few caps from the CW Season 3 extended trailer; finally uploaded the caps from "R2 Come Home."
Padmé: One Padmé and Ahsoka wallpaper by me; few caps from the CW season 3 trailer.
Misc.: One new wallpaper entry to the "Favorite Scene" challenge!
Enjoy your week!
Aeryn @ 9:52 p.m. CST
June 13, 2010
RL's a bitch, you guys. That's all I have in my defense. That, and I have something up my sleeve I'd hoped to have for this update, but is just going to have to wait a little bit longer. :)
Couple: Quotes and moments pages up for CW 2x19, "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back." Also, a few caps up from the Lego SW II game - particularly that hilarious riff on the TESB "I am your father" scene. (Which, if you haven't ever seen, do so NOW. Here.)
Misc.: One new wallpaper entry to the "Favorite Scene" challenge!
In other website news: I've done something I probably shouldn't have - I've started a new website! If you're like me in being a fan of the Master/Padawan relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka (but are tired of coming across mostly romantic/shippy stuff about them), check out Snips & Skyguy, a new A/A fanworks link database. There's not a lot there yet, but I'm hoping things take off soon. :)
More to come soon! I mean that this time. ;)
Aeryn @ 11:16 p.m. CST
April 26, 2010
Two episodes left of this season of CW! I'm starting to feel a preliminary depression, realizing I'll be home from Celebration V before I see the next season of CW. At least there should be a strong CW presence at C5. :)
Anakin: Stills and screencaptures from CW 2x20 "Death Trap".
Misc.: One new wallpaper entry to the "Favorite Scene" challenge!
Also, I don't typically pimp for-profit sites, but I got an email that was interesting to me. Apparently, Ashley Eckstein (the voice of Ahsoka) has gotten approval to start a new line of clothing directed at female SW fans, set to debut in July! I'm very curious to see what comes of it... and who knows, maybe we'll finally get some decent Anakin/Padmé-themed shirts? The fact that I got the official press release sent to me directly at TMOI has me encouraged somewhat on that particular front - someone's watching us, at any rate! The official site for the new line is here. Go show your support for finally getting the female side of SW fandom some decent representation in the apparel arena!
More to come soon! :)
Aeryn @ 7:16 p.m. CST
April 21, 2010
Another update! Feels kind of good to be regular about that. ;)
Anakin: Two fanfics; 2 stills from CW 2x21 "R2 Come Home". Spoilers!
Misc.: One new wallpaper entry to the "Favorite Scene" challenge!
Site: One new affiliate, welcome to Across the Stars!
Enjoy! :)
Aeryn @ 7:07 p.m. CST
April 17, 2010
New CW A/P at last! This evening's update is just new images from last night's great episode - plus a couple of Anakin stills from the first upcoming Boba Fett episode.
Anakin: Screencaps and stills from "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back"; 2 stills from CW 2x20 "Death Trap". Spoilers!
Padmé: Screencaps and stills from "TZBSB".
Couple: Screencaps and stills from "TZBSB".
Enjoy! :)

A reminder, if you've already seen "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back" and want to discuss it in any amount of detail, please do so on the message board, not the tag-board - in fact, I've already set up a thread for the episode.
Just a quickie tonight - wanted to add what is hopefully the first of many beautiful entries to the "Favorite Scene" wallpaper challenge! :)

Just a little morsel to tide the rest of us off until Friday! :)

Just in case I don't update before the 19th, happy birthday to Hayden! :)
So, slow news on the A/P front lately. I have it on semi-good authority that we may get a bit of a reprieve in next week's CW, though. Fingers crossed! In the meantime, check out the great YouTube link lazypadawan just posted on the tag-board - SW artist Randy Martinez performs a song he wrote about our pair! :)
I'm moving on to the next fanworks challenge, and this time I'm going back to wallpaper-themed, since those seem to engage a better turnout. And I think this theme should be pretty easy to find inspiration for. ;) Congrats to our (long-delayed) winners from the "Soothing" fic challenge!
Now, site updates:
More to come soon! :)

I really intended to be able to update more than once a month - but real life got in the way, as it generally does.
Still need more votes for Fic Challenge #2!
We got another dose of Padmé this week, probably the most Padmé-centric episode of the series yet - she was in nearly every scene! Much as I obviously love A/P, it is great to see her outside the context of their relationship, playing to her strengths.
In more TMOI-centric news: the wonderful JD has started a fanlisting for TMOI! It's absolutely beautiful, and I'm very flattered. :) Now, updates:
More to come soon! :)

Belated Happy Valentine's! The Official Site commemorated the occasion by posting romantic sound clips from the saga, of course including our A/P. :)
With this update, I'm officially closing out submissions for Fic Challenge 2 (I know, finally), and have opened it for voting!
So, we finally got to see Padmé in CW again! It was a pleasant surprise to have her turn up and play a crucial role in "Duchess of Mandalore." (The next new episode is Padmé-centric, but it's not until next week.) We even got to see A/P together briefly, if only in a public setting. Who knows what they got up to after that meeting, though? ;)
More to come very soon! :)

Belated Happy New Year! :) My internet access is still spotty, so this is only a partial update of what I have in the hopper:
More to come very soon! :)
