Emperor Han Solo AU

[beatrice_otter]

So remember that tumblr thread I contributed to a while back about "what if Han Solo accidentally became the Emperor"? (My contribution was "no, actually, Lando would make an excellent Grand Vizier.")

I started writing it and have been noodling away at it when I have some free time and inspiration ever since, and it's now at 23,000+ words and growing. No sign of coming near to an end point, but I do have a couple of plot bunnies for sequels/side stories that are GNAWING AT MY ANKLES and will have to be written someday, too.

Congratulations. You spawned a Plot Herd.

YEah, pretty much ...

I look forward to this like whoa.

[beatrice_otter]

So do I! Alas that it cannot write itself, I have to write it.

That sounds like an absolutely *glorious* fic. My congratulations (or condolenses, lol) on the wordcount!

Well, I'm enjoying it so far. But I don't like posting WIPs, so it's hard to keep up momentum, and there's actually a lot of worldbuilding that is needed for it so that it needs thought and re-working every so often. "Oh, in order to do that, I'll have to add in these other scenes earlier, which means this other thing here will need to be re-written ..."

THis is definitely one of those "somebody should write that thing! ... oh, shit, it's got to be me ..." moments.

I would read the shit out of this. Hope you are enjoying writing it still! I am cheering!

[beatrice_otter]

I love lying in bed at night thinking about it, does that count? :D

[princessofgeeks]

Answer cloudy; ask again later!

:D

It will be wonderful to have written it; I don't like being in the process. Also, it's taken me since like 2020 to get this much written, and I'm only a little ways into it, so I don't know if it will ever get FINISHED.
