Hey Brodiew, trust me when I say this, as a Mando newbie (myself included), this is the thread to be. I'm in here all the time, even if I don't post often. 
I've gotta' go with the opinion that I appreciate Traviss' vision of Mandalorian society, as opposed to that of the KotOR. But unlike browwiw, I've never played the game and I'm basing my opinons on that of the KotOR comics version of Mandalorians. I mentally trick myself that it was just a phase of growing pains that Mandalorians were going through.
But come on, what's wrong with BSG?!?!?

Nothing in the least bit. I just like being ambiguous. (I really enjoy BSG, but never was able to keep up with it because of my wonky world schedule).
And to be a bit more on topic. I really enjoyed the Dxun Mando camp parts of KotOR 2, but I still prefer Karen's "fiercely independent yet community oriented militant mountain men". The Dxun Mandos are a culture in decline. They've lost a war, their people scattered to the wind, and yet they prefer to play drum circle in the woods with Canderous. They're not moving on and getting on with things, they're avoiding reality and reliving past glories. It all seems so very self-absorbed. Surely Mandalore could use the resources and manpower they're hording out in the woods.

I'm not upset in the least bit. That was just me being playfully sardonic. I obviously wouldn't pull stakes for a BSG fansite. I mean...really.
Honest? I mean, as far as fansites go, I'd have figured they'd be your natural habitat.

I'm going to try and write a Mando fic. I may use one of the challenges, but if anyone has a relatively simple idea, I'm open for suggestions on how to proceed.

Sounds great!  If you already have a plot idea, that's great, and I'd love to get another entry for the challenges, but if you're still looking for inspiration, tell us where you're at and we'll try to give you the best help we vode can give. 
I'll be glad to get some new life into this thread, so if anyone has discussion topic suggestions or challenge ideas, just post them in the thread or PM me.

Well if another topic is needed one could always take the "Whos your favorite Mando?" route, preferably with a explanation on why..

What about Mando School for Newbies?
1. required reading: wookipedia, not necessailry novels
2. history and cultural discussion
3. written composition (i.e. challenge)
no tests.

 To be honest, questions like these are kinda... newbish for me, but if it gets newcomers to the Index, why not?

Another interesting one. We would need real newbies for that though, people who are still unfamiliar with Mandos, and as of now, nearly everyone in this thread has already written Mandos. But once again, maybe this could get us some newcomers. If you have any specific ideas, please PM them to me, and I'll see if we can get a new topic running.

Do we need to recruit or put out a call for newbies here in the thread?

Nah, unless you know some authors personally that might be interested, I don't think recruiting is liked to be seen around here. Either someone's interested in Mandos and joins the thread, or he's not and never pays it a look. That doesn't mean we can't give it a try, but I need some specifics.

Maybe dropping some links when reviewing the Mando stories of Newbies. 
I seen two around, but one is on restricted time, so he won't come here, I guess. 
I'd like the school. I have no clue about Mandos, all I can do is cobble up poetry in Mando and write them vaguely enough so nobody notices. I'll be in bad trouble soon. (Why was I about to write 'Tribble' there?  )

Welcome!
Injunfett is new here to Fanfic and is trying his hand at writing a Mando fic. I thought it might be a good idea for him (her?) to meet the unofficial Mandalore of the boards.
