[edit] Fanfic gone amok?

To quote:" The very name "Anakin Solo" is a perfect example of fan fiction syndrome."

Since Anakin Solo appears in officialy licenced novels, can his name be a result of so called fan fiction syndrome? --Drhaggis 03:53, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Of course not. Good thing that's been removed. --maru 01:12, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh, it's definitely true. A sixteen-year old badass warrior whom everyone in the universe admires and who has a hot blonde wanting to jump his bones? You can't get more Gary Sue than that. However, I agree that there's no real way to say that encyclopedically (unless there's a prominent-enough article talking about fan-fiction syndrome which specifically references him; I highly doubt that).

Fan Fiction syndrome actually refers to the tendancy of fan fiction or any derivative works to be much more likely to propose new characters and situations that are similar to old characters and situations then the original authors would be themselves. For example, if there is going to be another worm character the author calls it "Zorba the Hutt, father of Jaba the Hutt" as opposed to simply doing an entirely unrelated worm character.

[edit] Expanding

I feel like we should expand his Yavin IV section. There're a lot of things that happened during the Junior Jedi Knight series. Jacen and Jaina have their own long childhood section splitting into the different books of the YJK series, why not do the same with Anakin (and Tahiri) as well? —Mirlen 18:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
