	A long-time Star Wars fan, Ed first became an officially published Star Wars author with his short story, Fists of Ion, published in 2008 - a dream come true for an aspiring author and a diehard fan. This is the place where you get to talk to the fellow. Please welcome Ed! -----signature----- God made man. Man rejected God. God became the man Jesus Christ, died and rose again to life, saving man from himself. The craziest story ever told. The truest.

	Thanks for the welcome, Keralys! I was in the theater in '79 when they re-released A New Hope. I think it was the first or second movie I ever saw with my parents. When WEG's great RPG came out I ran a game for two years with my friends in college. I never did lose the Star Wars bug. I started writing SW fan fics on these boards maybe two years ago. Then the What's The Story feature came around, and that was a godsend. I didn't find out about it until July of '07 and I submitted every month. I managed to concoct three winning entries and I guess that got Pablo's attention. I was included in a kind of mass recruitment email and invited to pitch ideas. Fists Of Ion was one of them... This year's been good to me fiction-wise. I write a lot of horror and had a weird western story (Killer Of The Dead) published in Murky Depths magazine over in the UK. -----signature----- http://www.starwars.com/hyperspace/fiction/feature20081031.html http://www.starwars.com/databank/droid/mhyddroid/index.html http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/yoxgit/index.html http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/banemalar/index.html

	Apart from the abundance of WEG references in your work Mr. Erdelac, there was at least one major tie in to the Marvel comic run. Are you a fan of the Marvel comics, or was the reference brought about by the Aliens in the Empire article? -----signature----- "You were fantastic. We're free!"

	Hey Four Dot, I am a fan, though I don't own too many of them. I've got the original 'Giant Sized' adaptations of A New Hope, plus about six or seven very battered old issues. The reference to S'kar in Abel's work did inspire me to go back and take a look at the Calians, and it was their berserker ability that sold me on making Lobar one of their number. -----signature----- http://www.starwars.com/hyperspace/fiction/feature20081031.html http://www.starwars.com/databank/droid/mhyddroid/index.html http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/yoxgit/index.html http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/banemalar/index.html

	Did you do any research with the old CCG cards and such for your Yoxgit and Bane Malar and other entries? -----signature----- Come visit my MiniCity: <a href=http://rypcordia.myminicity.com/> Rypcordia</a>

As he answered you here: Caledre posted: Panties - I used the CCG's as a starting point when I developed the WTS entries. That was how I had Yoxgit working for Hermi Odle. For Bane Malar I used both his card and the flavor text on the Kessel Operative card on which he appeared. Admirable's correct - wookiepedia has scans of most of the sets, so the ones I didn't have myself I was able to look up. -----signature----- http://churchofbrad.com/jsarek/ Proud recipient of Halagad_Ventor's MOO (Master of Obscurity) Award, Brett_Bass's Spiffy Crown™, and Thrawn McEwok's "Ohh...?

	Hey all, thought I'd drop a few lines about my horror novella 'Dubaku' coming out from Damnation Books on September first in ebook (print later on this month). THE BLURB: In 1760 somewhere near the Bight Of Benin, an African shaman belonging to an obscure interior tribe surrenders himself willingly to an English slaving expedition. This man, Dubaku, has come in search of his wife, abducted and sold to another party of whites. Not knowing one ship from another, Dubaku boards the slaver hoping to find her. The captain, a cruel and careless man named Bryce, mistrusts him immediately, and when a rampant sickness takes its toll on the superstitious crew and their human cargo midway through the voyage to Jamaica, Bryce decides to offer up Dubaku as their Jonah. After a violent squall drowns the entire compliment of would-be slaves, Dubaku calls upon dark and terrible powers to enact a fitting vengeance on Captain Bryce and his men. The Kindle version is already available from amazon.com. It can be downloaded straight from the publisher at www.damnationbooks.com starting tomorrow (and I believe they're offering some kind of deal to the first few orders), as well as various ebook purveyors across the net. The print edition is due out toward the end of September, so I'll put up a note about that as well - I think you'll be able to order that from Barnes and Noble. Before anybody asks, I've never seen an episode of 24, though apparently the not so common African name is shared by a character on the show. I got it off a babyname site somewhere around the summer of 2008. I guess the writers looked up the same site as I did - or else the character are distantly related. Anyway, thanks for looking!
