Greetings

Greetings and let me introduce myself.  I am a political science student currently in my last year in university.  The subject of this blog however, dosen't have the most to do with university, but rather an analysis or reflection on works of fiction that I enjoy and the mentality of various fanbases I've come across.  In particular, how fiction influences discourse and how it's message may be relevant in the real world today and if fanbases choose to ignore or heed these messages.  I write these for myself and no one else, through updates might be sparse.

And as you can already see by the address of the blog, I am a huge Star Wars and Game of Thrones fan.  So for the latter, expect spoilers, analysis of fantheories and speculation, in any entry related to Game of Thrones up to the latest episode.  As for the former however, let's be clear that this blog does not take sides in the debate over the merits of the Prequel trilogy but serves as a way to analyze how the two trilogies bridge into each other and the Clone Wars(2003 and 2008) and the old Expanded Universe, while acknowledging their flaws at the same time.  So if you hate the Expanded Universe and cheered for it's downfall...or just want to strap me onto a chair while shoving RedLetterMedia reviews down my throat against my will for not doing enough to focus on the wrongs of the Prequels or try to justify some of the rather...less reasonable flaws...the Prequels have within the narrative because I don't generate enough "love" to these movies; than pull any of that shit at your own fucking risk.
