Chat corner 37: The Book of Boba Fett

[annathecrow]

Welcome to the new year! Feels like the old year. Still, may 2022 be a better year for you than 2021 was.

Optional prompt

This week’s topic should be from the non-movie canon content category, so I’ll bite the bullet and make it The Book of Boba Fett. I’d say make it non-spoilery, since the first episode came out on 29th, but it is a first episode, so…??? (Wookieepedia article here.)

Oooh, fic! Thanks, I've already found one fic that made me giggle.

Where is that challenge from? I've googled but can't find any info about it anywhere.

WDLF is an outgrowth of the fic exchange community – think yuletide, except instead of rare fandoms, each exchange has a different focus, from producing unconventional fanworks to rare femslash ships to space fandoms – that started when an exchange participant decided she wanted to push the boundaries of what exchanges were or could do. The first one simply ran on an extremely accelerated timefram (like, a weekend to write the fics, rather than 4-8 weeks), and subsequent rounds have pushed at what an exchange looks like. This round was a double blind exchange, where the requests were anonymized. As a result, this round, people have to go "claim" their gifts – or any gift they think might be for them – by asking for it to be gifted to them. Next round will be something completely different. The other exchanges are not like this at all.

It does sound super interesting!

Sooo, if one was interested in taking part in the next installment of WDLF, where would one go? That's actually why I've been asking about the source, lol.

...unless it's a closed-community kind of thing, in which case I'll just peruse the resulting fic, of course. :D

Link sent! (For those following along at home: while invitations to the Discord server are open to anyone who's 18+, the mods don't want the link to be available on the public internet. PM me if an exchange that is at least 50% social experiment and which is never the same twice sounds interesting!)
