Gah, I remember physics. Happily, my uni considered astronomy to count as a physics lab, so I don't need any more.
Oh, I just stumbled across a link when I was amusing myself by watching the fandom explode over Simon Pegg, and then clicked around the OT forum and somehow ended up with ten tabs open full of people going "lol people actually thought Leia was pretty??" and whining about RLM and insisting that Luke triumphs because he's just ~so pure~ and then arguments over Lucas' original intentions (no, he always meant Luke and Leia to be twins and for their mother to die in childbirth, really!) and the periodic "you're just nostalgic!" and blaming Vader for Alderaan and Luke throwing away his lightsaber is wimpy and basically everything that has ever bugged me in SW fandom, ever, gathered into one place.
(A lot are PT because there's so much more room to play around there, but for the same reason they're the ones I'm least likely to write. I may poke at Luke-and-Leia-on-Tatooine though.)
Splinter is HILARIOUS. Luke and Leia actually get into a mud fight at one point. And it also has interesting characterization - Leia is a ruthless Determinator, hardened by her torture and the destruction of Alderaan, while Luke is a brash, naive, natural liar. They're still basically good people, too.
Heh, I haven't read the Inheritance Cycle, but I understand about Twilight - I don't like it myself, but I do love romance novels generally and ... yeah, the wtfery abounds.

My plotbunnies are always available! In fact, my problem is not that I don't have ideas but that I have so many, so I've started keeping them under a tag for anyone to grab: http://elizabeth-hoot.livejournal.com/tag/genre%3A%20plotbunnies
