Hiding fandom in the underwear drawer since 1977

So, two VERY important things.

Important thing 1. Can anyone provide links to helpful hints about how to make DW more useful and mobile friendly? I know there was lots last year during the great migration?

Important thing 2. Econopodder, knitress, intrikate and I agreed yesterday that the prospect of an Obi-Wan series starring Ewan McGregor might be the only thing that would get us to buy Disney streaming. Because HELL YES.
Now, in honor of the return of dunc yav14 and hollywdliz to DW (go check them out, they're awesome and I hope other old SW fen join us), I would indeed be remiss if I did not pause a moment to reflect upon the awesomeness of Obi-Wan Dressed As Ewan (ODAE) who was the subject of collective INTENSE interest and devotion upon the release of Phantom Menace. (I don't precisely remember why we hit on ODEA but I suspect that it was because our devotion was so... devotional ... we all felt a little more comfortable adding an extra layer of fiction to maintain separation between the role and the actor. Also I suspect the Sith Academy was responsible. AND OMG IT'S STILL UP) (the immortal line. "He'd slept with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Again.")

Strutting, twirling, angsty, sarcastic ODAE. "No one bitch slaps my Padawan except me!" There was fic, SO MUCH FIC, there were 12 inch action figures dressed in silks and velvets, and there were many mini-cons and movie marathons where we pulled out VHS tapes, bootlegs and a very few things that could be seen on CD rom -- the making of TPM was a 2 disk set. And glitter. More on that below. We knew, INTIMATELY, each and every piece of art in the ODAE oeuvre where he was naked. In those days, ODAE took his clothes off for the sake of art, a lot. Full frontal. We were deeply appreciative.

I rather liked the following from Twitter, source: starwarsunderworld



Now, of course, there is a critical omission, as every Obi-Wanton knows:
Friends, tell me are you not aware of Curt Wild? Let me assure that, in those heady days of the late 90s, early 2000s, Obi-Wan Kenobi doused in body glitter was a VERY IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT.

You're welcome
Just imagine that with a padawan braid.

I've signed up for the Narnia Fic Exchange!  Have you?  Do sign up!  It's fun!
We had a great time getting caught up on the NFFR chat last night too!

And, I had the most wonderful, the most thoughtful email this morning from long time reader Ruan Chun Xian who said she was playing dress up with virtual dolls and ended up creating Lucy and Susan as Disney princesses (Ruan was annoyed because she couldn't find trousers for Lucy!!) and then she went further and DID MORGAN OF LINCH AND ANGLO-CARIBBEAN JILL POLE! 

So you can see Susan, Lucy, Jill and Aravis here on her Tumblr. She pointed out that Susan looks a bit like Snow White except that Susan DOES/WOULD look like Snow White.  And below are all the ladies together plus Morgan.  (I LOVE Morgan's boots and her long braid and her plain green working gown).

   
Yes, I know, dread visuals but they are so lovely and I'm so grateful!!!  Thank you!!
