Snapshots: Obi-Wan Kenobi, This Is Your Life is a Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan series by Pumpkin. The snapshots written in 1999 were republished as a zine, Snapshots 1999.
Snapshots: Obi-Wan Kenobi, this is your life [...] Each piece is a segment within the same universe, but they are not in any sort of order. Each piece stands alone and they may be read in any order. The snapshots will run the gamut from G to NC17. Some may be several pages long, some only a couple of paragraphs; some will contain smut, many will not; they will be different styles with different voices.[1]
Recs and Reviews
Give me a reason for NOT recommending these. This outstanding series took possession of my heart from the very first, and I greeted each tiny piece with happy anticipation. By turns angsty, hot, romantic, hilarious, poignant, hot, solemn, joyful, did I mention hot? - the Snapshots formed a beautifully whole finished portrait of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, often capturing their personalities in a single sentence. Pumpkin's characterizations, to me, were the very embodiment of what it means to be Jedi, in every shade and nuance. I can't tell you the number of times a Snapshot has left me in tears, or fanning myself frantically, or grinning ear to ear. Of all the fine, fine stories and series in TPM fandom - and there are so many - this is the body of work I would give to a beginner, to say: Read these, and fall in love.[2]
Pumpkin's Slash Patch... An amazing collection of authors including Pumpkin herself, whose Snapshots drives readers to laughter, tears and most often long drawn out toughtful 'aawwwwww...'s with its complete spectrum of experiences.[3]
Otherwise entitled "Obi Wan Kenobi, This Is Your Life" these daily snippets of Q/O Jedi life as told from various POV's are filled with passion, wry observances and sometimes heartbreaking angst. Wonderful stuff![4]
