	Dictionary.com. Just type in a word and it gives you the def and sometimes how to use it. Thesaurus. Need a better word or just can't figure out the word you've been thinking of? This site is awesome! Feel free to add your own links. I'll add more of mine as I find them. -----signature----- Hey, is slash still banned?

	I think the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia here at TF.n is invaluable. I don't own many of the resource books, so I do a lot of my research for fics there. -----signature----- ~~Theed Library~~ http://www.geocities.com/theedlibrary More Than Shadows -- The Handmaidens in Episode 2!! -- 6/14/02 http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=5763331 ~~ The Invisible Woman of The Fortress ~~

	Bartlett's book of quotations. Good for fic stuff if you have a quote going throuhg your head and you're not sure if it's a "real" quote, and also good for RL stuff. Links page. Everything linked to on this page is very helpful. I'm not going to copy all the adresses over. The Elements of Style. This cannot be described. Let's just say that I used it to "study" for my SAT II: Writing test and it helped. How to write marginally readable fan fiction. what the links says. -----signature----- Hey, is slash still banned?

	Definitely link to the Mary Sue article in Liz's last recommendation. It's cool. For those who write non-fanfic as well as fanfic (sf/f), try Critters Workshop, a great place to get help wiht your writing and honest feedback from other writers (she says as she's writing this instead of the critique she owes for this week...) It also has good articles on how to critique, and how to be diplomatic in critiques.

	Unlocking and upping. Take some time and check these links out, folks. Liz wasn't kidding when she said these sites are invaluable. The Mary Sue link in particular is a good kick in the pants. I have a few of my own to add soon. -----signature----- Voted Dork Magazine's "Sexiest Nerd Alive" for 2008 http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb237/Snerdmania/DSCF0113.jpg

	These are all name-related Star Wars Random Name Generator - What it says on the tin. It works - it's not one of those 'insert last 2 letters of your mum's maiden name' ones. It has a database of checks over 2 million possible names. At the very least it gives you ideas. 20,000 Names - the best site for those of you who want OC names with meaning to them. 20 000 names from around the world, with explanations. Behind the Name - Another names site, with explanations. Contains a name generator. Title Generator - A title generator, though it gets a little predictable after a while. -----signature----- BeTS Best Author '08 NEW Bad Dreams - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29893091 Eleven Summers - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29657584 Into The Shining Day - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29224914

	The Fantasy Name Generator <---I use this all the time. The custom generator function takes a few minutes to learn, but it's great if you have a general "sound" that you want a name to have, but can't quite come up with a letter combination that works for you. It now has Japanese and Hawaiian names as part of it's "regular" generator. Edit: There's always this crazy site, too: starwars.com -----signature----- In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps with your mom

	Common Errors in English - It has an extensive list of words and explanations for often confused words. to/too affect/effect YourDictionary.com - A great resource for online language dictionaries.

	nav-computer.com -- maps of the Star Wars galaxy, including of individual sectors and systems. Bloomsbury Reference Library The Bloomsbury Reference library on the internet.It's got some pretty useful stuff on there, and there's alos useful stuff for Original Fic too.

	I just found this site. Seems like it would serve as a good aide to writing fics. Star Wars-Journal of a Whill Edit: If you scroll to the latter third of the page, there are many links to other sites. They are extremely helpful. -----signature----- "Qui tacet consentit"~~ (silence implies consent) NY Yankees!! 2009 World Champs!!!
