The Cult of Janen

An Index and Discussion of all things Jacen/Nen Yim

For those of you who are just discovering Jacen/Nen Yim, I bet you're wondering: What the...? Don't worry. It will all be explained in time. For those of you already familiar with the ship, welcome home - we've been expecting you.

Jacen/Nen Yim is a little 'ship started at nine thirty at night by Vongchild at the prompting of Jedi_bubbles. It is unknown if the ship existed prior to the statement "Well, I can't 'ship Nen Yim with Jacen... Or can I?" but the assumption is "no." Vongy then contacted the fellow founder of J/NY, Dev_Binks, who was at the time finishing up a month-long ban for tax purposes . She then wrote a vig called "Blankets," recruited Dev_binks, and didn't look back.

But she wanted more. She encouraged others to write the little-known 'ship, embracing Interspecies, AU, and all sorts of logistical problems. Their brave journeys into the unknown shall forever be preserved in these hallowed halls.

Granted, shipping a dead Yuuzhan Vong with a Jedi she's never met in canon provides some challenges, but all those willing to step up to the plate, whether they hit singles, doubles, triples, or home runs, will be forever remembered in the index. This thread shall also serve as a repository for information, support, and shall document the progression of the 'ship from grassroots movement to... well... who knows?

Do-ro'ik Vong Pratte!

Due to recent allegations against the 'ship, I'd like to point out we're not here to be better than J/TK, to outnumber J/TK, to be more canon than J/TK, to assert ourselves as canon, or to be mean. Anything relating to this 'ship is in good fun.

And I resent this being refered to as a "McEwok-grade crackship." I will not tolerate the awesomeness known as Thrawn_McEwok being degraded to the status of a sheezy adjective.

Other characters: Lots of cameos.
Summary: The Jedi Knights are involved in a fundraiser for the upkeep of the Temple, and Jacen (for a day, anyway) is a raffle prize that Nen Yim would like to win - but she's too late to buy tickets! One-shot.
Notes: This is for J/NY Challenge #1. It's also intentionally silly, particularly in the first half. Enjoy!

Genre: Angst/Drama
Couples: J/NY
Timeframe: approx 42 years ABY
Other Characters: 2 OCs
Summary: Their son is in the medical center as a doctor attempts to give him sight.

RESERVED - INDEX AUTHORS M-Z

1. Title: "Reminiscence"
Author: Siaynoqsbride
Genre: Angst, Romance
Couples: J/NY
Timeframe: Post-NJO. Split from Canon... somewhere.
Summary: Nen remembers Jacen as she clears their apartment of things.
Notes: No, I have not gone insane, and yes, you read the title right. This is my first writing both Jacen and the 'Vong, so be nice to me. My brain was hurting by the end of this, so sorry if it isn't very coherent. Vig.

2. Title: "Nenny"
Author: TheCrazyRodian
Genre: Humor(?)
Couples: J/NY
Timeframe: Slightly post-NJO.
Summary: Response to the "I Own You" challenge.
Notes: I don't really know why this story exists. Vongy said I could blame Thrawn_McEwok for it, so I will. But it's not fair for him to shoulder all the blame, so he can share it with YodaKenobi--who together have given me enough Jacenfodder to last my entire life--Troy Denning, whose Dark Nest Trilogy confirmed my fear that the New Jedi Order did indeed destroy the character of Jacen Solo, and the evil plot bunny that bit me and coerced me into breaking my vow to have my first posted 'fic be semi-legitimate. Fellas, this one's for you.

3. Title: Before I Lose You
Author: Vongchild
Genre: Angst
Couples: J/NY
Timeframe:Post NJO AU
Summary: A more realistic take on interspecies breeding.
Notes: This is super angsty. If you are easily upset, this isn't the fic for you. The bunny's been bugging me for a while.

4. Title: The Past as Another Land
Author: Vongchild
Genre: Action/romance/suspense/Alternate Universe
Couples: NY/J/TK
Timeframe: Very AU NJO
Summary: In a galaxy ruled by the Hapes cluster, the Yuuzhan Vong have flown below the radar. Until their value as slave labor is realized, that is. A Star Wars Re-write of the broadway show Aida.
Notes: all the songs are property of Tim Rice and Sir Elton John who wrote the score and lyrics of Aida in its modern incarnation (though I think Disney owns the rights to the show itself). The plotline dates back further to an opera by Giuseppi Verde

5. Title: 'Ships
Author: Stormtrooper_TK=421
Genre: Humor
Couples: That would be spoiling! But it's funny.
Timeframe:Post-NJO satire
Summary: all 'shippers - from J/Z to J/NY - the romantic puzzle shall soon be solved.

Notes: Urged into existance by Jedi_bubbles. Includes the original vig "Blankets."

FIRST TOPIC OF DISCUSSION - WHY 'SHIP THIS 'SHIP?

Question one: Well, first off, we know this isn't going to happen. So why are you a shipper?

Question two: Do you have any problem with interspecies?

Question three: If we hold challenges, would you participate?

Question four: Is Vongy's talking like a joiner scaring you?

Question five: How did you find this ship?

Well, I guess I'll be helping dear old Vongy with this. And yes, my banning is finally over! That banning for tax reasons. *shifty look* God bless you, Mr. Adams.

Question one: Well, first off, we know this isn't going to happen. So why are you a shipper?

Question two: Do you have any problem with interspecies?

Question three: If we hold challenges, would you participate?

Question four: Is Vongy's talking like a joiner scaring you?

Question five: How did you find this ship?

1: You threatened me...

2: Nope.

3: Maybe. It matters what Vongy threatens me with...

4: I don't know, how does a joiner talk?

5: You informed me then threatened me...

I think I'll like this.

1. I'm a shipper 'cause Vongy made me read her story, and it hooked me.
2. Not a one.
3. Yes! Most definitely.
4. Not a bit. We are used to Joiner talk.
5. See answer to question 1.

YAY! IT'S HERE!

I already see a pattern in how we're introduced to this ship...

I bet Lusa comes in with a 'threatened' answer.

What?

We are not very good at acting innocent. We can tell when one of us is guilty. It is in our nature. We like talking like we are Joiners.

Vongy, you're horrible at acting innocent, it's like a commie trying to not to speak with a ruskie accent.

Question one: Well, first off, we know this isn't going to happen. So why are you a shipper?

Because Bubbles told me to write everything my sick mind invented

Question two: Do you have any problem with interspecies?

None at all

Question three: If we hold challenges, would you participate?

Yeah.

Question four: Is Vongy's talking like a joiner scaring you?

Only slightly

Question five: How did you find this ship?

.... I invented it, practically.

I'm gonna laugh when all of the stuff we're doing becomes fanon.

It had might as well.

....Are we really that scary??

Yes babe, yes we are...

Darn. More people need to come.

Your wish is my command!

No, I'm not quite a shipper yet, but since I like most ships and don't mind reading whatever... this is quite an interesting ship!

I'm here. I don't think I could ever have just one favorite 'ship - mostly I just categorize as "like" and "don't like," but Janen would definitely fall under "like."

When I first saw the topic, I was stunned for a little bit. Then I burst into hysterical laughter. Then I thought, Hey, why not? And then the plot bunnies started coming.

Does that make me a J/NY 'shipper?

You're getting there. Go ahead and write one of those bunnies. Then post it. I'd love to see some takes besides Dev and I's!

Allison- And I'm a J/TKer in my freetime. No, seriously, I am. And when I read EU, I'm a J/TKer. And sometime's I'm a K/Jer. And occasionally I root for Jag. And sometimes I write T/Jg.

Idrelle- Welcome home!

Don't forget to fill out the survey!

Usually, I don't pay attention to any Jacen threads, but this one is quite unusual. I may have to look at it, just for curiousity sake.

Unusual doesn't even begin to describe it. Welcome - we're glad to have you!

Yeah for new peeps! Someone give me a plot bunny, please. I need to start a collection for this 'ship.
