Sorry, Liz, I should have gotten back to you earlier on this.
since the fic will take place mostly during prequel times, but starts at 4 years after ROTJ, it would still be posted in Saga, right?
Yes, that's right.  Always post the story where the majority of the action takes place. For example, my own time travel story is posted in Saga because most of the action takes place around ROTS, even though the two main characters are from Beyond and it starts 5 years post-NJO.

However, it may be useful to mention the era-spanning aspects in an author's note, since otherwise even with "time travel" in your subject line people may read the first few paragraphs and think you're in the wrong place.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings." ~ Lewis Carrol, The Walrus and the Carpenter
Okay, ignore that. That was Idrelle having her fun. 
Friends, it is sad to announce that we, Idrelle_Miocovani and CrazyAni are stepping down from managing the Time Travel Index. Neither of us really have the time anymore to manage this index and, to be honest, both of us are out of ideas for discussions.
This leaves us with a slight problem: we need someone to take over. If you would like to manage the time travel index, send us a note and we'll give you the password for the sock.
Thanks, all! Let's hope that someone takes over so this index doesn't die!

Eeek!
I like time travel stories and would hate for the thread to die... but I don't know if I have time to adopt it, having just acquired the infant Poetry Thread. I hope you get somebody!

Thanks, Persephone_Kore. I hope we get someone soon, too! I'll try to keep it floating until we do, but I really do hope we get someone soon.

Thanks so much everyone! Thanks especially to the old managers! 
I'm looking into discussion topics and maybe a challenge in the future if enough people are interested.

Sweet! A challenge! Yay! And new discussion topics! That's what CrazyAni and I ran out of.
You're going to do a fabulous job, Jturtle! I just know it!
And, of course, I'll be popping into the thread fairly regularly just to see how things are going.

Upping this in the hopes of a challenge given soon. Or at least some discussion activity.

I've decided to possibly add another few words to my time travel story's title. Instead of just being "Shadows of the Past" its now going to be (possibly) "Shadows of the Past, Hope of the Future". Is that too wordy? I'm trying to write out my story write now (very slowly, first in a little notebook, then typing it out) because I don't want to mess anything up. Its very slow going at the moment, though.

I personally prefer "Shadows of the Past" instead of "Shadows of the Past, Hope of the Future." The latter does seem a bit wordy. But it's your fic, so you can name it whatever you want!
And once you set about typing it up, if you ever need a beta, feel free to PM me -- after all, time travel is my thing.

I'm new here so is it okay if I reply to the *first* discussion instead of the last one? 
Which characters are used most frequently in time travel? Why?
I've only been reading SW fanfic for a few weeks now, and time travel fic just a few days, so it's hard to say! From reading through this thread, I'm guessing Luke & Leia
Which characters are your favourites for time travel? Why?
Jaina, definately. She's my favourite character, and there's lots about her that's interesting for time travel fics... her family, her history with the dark side, being the "sword of the jedi" etc.
Which characters would you like to see time travel, to which era, and visit which characters? Why?
Jag! Possibly with Kyp. That could be fun.
I'd also like to see some old-Republic Jedi come forward in time... maybe to the NJO era. I'd love to see them pop up around the time of "Rebel Stand".
Hmm... there could be a fic where someone goes forward in time and sees a bad future. For instance, Dark Journey-era Jaina (maybe with Kyp) could be thrust forward in time to an era where Jaina's all dark-side-y.
Above all I'd like to read more fics where people are purposefully sent back in time, rather than accidentally. I've just read "Sanctuary of Time" and I absolutely loved it.

Which characters are used most frequently in time travel? Why?
Luke, Leia, Han, Obi-Wan, and Anakin. I'm not quite sure but if I had to guess, I'd say it's because these characters have the most potential to change the events of the time line. Specifically, Anakin.
Which characters are your favourites for time travel? Why?
My favorite to see time travel are Anakin and Obi-Wan. These two seem to make the most trouble when they time travel.
Which characters would you like to see time travel, to which era, and visit which characters? Why?
I would love to see any of the Beyond characters travel to the Before. I have a feeling an author would have a lot of fun with this.  Plot bunnies sprouting.
Thought I might copy the example.
Hopefully, discussion to come soon!

Discussion!
Yay! Its finally here.
So, how do we get our time travelers into the past/future?
Of course in Star Wars we have the convenient use of space and space ships but what do we really do to send our characters hurtling through space and time? A worm hole? An anomaly in the weather? Or just gloss over that minor detail?
If we send them through space in their ships, how do we do it?
Have you sent them through time while they're on planet?
What do you think is the best way to send our travelers through time?
