So I'm not sure how inclined y'all are to fanfic, or to Star Wars fic in particular, but Fialleril has some absolutely amazing fic that is very heavily rooted in desert culture and understanding - particularly their Double Agent Vader series.

I hadn't really considered just how much of a role the biome plays in conceptions of morality and worth, though. We all really really appreciate this insight - particularly because some of us are writing desert fiction of our own, and those of us who are writing forest fiction (myself included) can now be more aware of the ways that our chosen setting can be played with.
