The Sith Academy by various authors (various ratings, but adult stories are kept separate)

[surexit.livejournal.com]

Fandom: STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE
Pairing: various, major pairing Maul/Obi-Wan

Why this must be read:

Well, I... it.... you....

How do you sum up the Sith Academy? It has single-handedly pulled in a large number of M/O shippers. I know it's where I started with the pairing. It's hysterically funny. It's sweet. It contains 181 stories, not counting the 17 wonderful NC-17 stories, and the 16 stories that are, for one reason or another, non-canon, but still good enough to be hosted at the site. It contains perky!drugged-up!Obi, and lecherous!Qui-Gon, lines like "Let your hate flow through you, wait for a tiny opening in traffic, then pass her illegally and flip her off", and it has something for everyone. Even if you're not feeling the M/O love, a large number of the stories are entirely gen humour.

"All right, my new apprentice, this is my apartment. You are not allowed on the couch."

The porcupine waddled across the floor and took a whiz on the leg of the coffee table.

Maul growled and thwacked the spiny mammal on the head with a rolled-up newspaper. The porcupine puffed up aggressively, spines sticking out in all directions.

"Ah, good my young apprentice. Use your hatred and strike out at me."

The porcupine didn't move.

"Strike out at me."

The porcupine continued to not move.

"Feel your hate! Strike out at me in anger! Use the power of the Dark Side and strike me down!" Maul frothed maniacally.

The porcupine curled up in a ball and started to shiver.

With a sigh, Maul realized that this might take a while.

If you're not up to reading the whole thing, I will probably, when I run out of ideas for other recs later in the month, be reccing a few stories by themselves. I feel guilty about cheating like this, but there is at least one that I think really must be singled out, and a couple of others that I would like to.

That all said:

Welcome to the Sith Academy

I know! There is so much stuff to read. I guess all of Siubhan's original stories would be the fisrst thing I'd rec, but you really have to read them in order to appreciate the whole thing. IMHO only the last few ones got a bit repetitive and boring (those with new authors, anyway), but *dude*, it is all good stuff because the SA was elitist in a *good* way.

Oh, man. Hippie Qui-Gon. Mace being asked if he was straight and replying "as a donut. Sorry." This is one of the best fandoms *ever*.

And the whole plot about Obi being drugged on happy pills. :D Oh, I love the SA. Like I said to someone else, the comm is damn lucky I didn't just type READ IT READ IT READ IT about fifty times.

You really have to read 'em in order. Sure, there's tons of funny, but it's the build-ups that really make the jokes pay off.

Yeah, I agree. But there ain't a hell of a lot of other M/O out there, so I predict I will end up reccing at least one of the stories singularly.

Because I'm a big fat cheat.
