Started a #sci-fi story in earnest recently. Progress is slow, but it’s nice to be #writing again.

I haven’t been able to #write because I was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, which was a pretty big existential blow. I’m in remission now and I can be #creative again.

I just saw this on Facebook.
The thing about rightwing Star Wars fans is they are *often* rooting for the Empire.
Many moons ago, I had the pleasure of playing Star Wars Galaxies, before it was murdered by its publisher trying to turn it into a Star Wars themed World of Warcraft clone.
You could be either a rebel or an imperial, and there was PvP between the factions. People flocked to the Empire and really got into it - empire players outnumbered us rebels!
