Plot of Confusion

To the tune of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis
Filked by HLynn


I must've read a thousand fics,
Been haunted by a million nitpicks,
I can remember the times we had,
When Star Wars books weren't this bad.

Now did you read the posts today,
They say the danger's gone our way,
But I can see KJA's still alight.
Dictating into the night.

Too many plots,
Too many authors,
Making too many problems,
And not much continuity goin' 'round.
Can't you see,
These are the plots of confusion.

CHORUS:
Well these are the stories written,
And these are the plots we're given
Trash them and let's start trying,
To make it a place worth writing for.

Skywalker, where are you now,
Everything's gone wrong somehow,
Zahn and Stackpole, men of power,
Are spackling holes by the hour.

What is the time,
Where is the place,
We're looking for a Vision of the Future,
But there's not much continuity goin' 'round.
Tell me why, this is a plot of confusion.

CHORUS:
Well these are the stories written,
And these are the plots we're given
Trash them and let's start trying,
To make it a place worth writing for.

I remember long ago,
When these stories would make sense.
Mara wasn't contrite,
Her jumpsuits weren't so tight,
And the color of her lightsaber,
By Zahn, it was right
So long ago---

I won't be reading crap tonight,
Zahn and Stackpole will put it right.
They're not just making promises
That we know, they'll never keep.

This is a place that we know,
And these are the characters that should grow,
Stand up and let's start showing,
Just where our money's going to.
