Well, Pris you've managed to outline alot of what I myself hate when I read KotOR fic, so for once I can say "I agree" to you ;)
One of the biggest pet peeves I have was when after my DSM Revan KotOR game, I went looking for DS fics and *all* I could find was "OMGEVUL We're like, omnipotent and no matter what the Republic does, we just use our Awesome Evul Powers(TM) to like...beat them up."
And then the way pretty much everyone reduces Bastila to Revan's Evul Wuv Slave-Girl(TM). That just grates on me in so many levels; Love slave? Ok, so even if she's letting her passions totally run her she's still been repressing for twenty-odd years; She is *not* gonna become someone's obidiant little pet, and frankly I imagine Revan would have a helluva time controlling her. She'd be Dominant Bitch of the Universe before she's someone's Wuv Slave-Girl.
She'll be cold, mean and a real Sith to those around her, with the possible exception of Revan *if* something comes from him in turn. DS Bastila projecting her emotions at an aloof and wall-like DS Revan would most likely result in her stabbing him in the heart with her lightsabre.
Dark Side does not mean omnipotent, nor that Revan gets his own private slave-girl out of Bastila.

So anyways, that was my rant. Next?
