	NJO and beyond, really. They mess up characterizations from the earlier books a lot. Gets annoying. -----signature----- I agree with RJ Officially Idri's Muse "Hat. We thought of authentic Native American headdress before we thought of hat."

	I'm kinda against the whole NJO idea. Really I thought that in the light of the Pt Luke being as good as he was even in the OT was rather unrealistic. But even given that Luke could be so good with a 'saber still...I don't think he could relly reconstruct the whole Jedi Order when he really didn't know that much about it in the first place. -----signature----- Knight of the Fanfic Order (trained by oqidaun) Master to CodyMonKenobi & mujapple-juicey Proud Obi/Ani shipper!

	Has anyone taken a moment to check out The January Story of the Month: Rogue_Pilot's Blade of Flame ? Or do you guys just like bashing the Greatest EU Idea EVER?!? Seriously, please take a some time to check it out. R_P is one of the most prolific OC writers here and I'd like for everyone to show her some love. In addition, anyone still interested in submitting to the OC Challenge, you have until midnight Thursday boardtime/12 AM Friday morning, (whichever is easier to remember). -----signature----- Remember: If it's a Mary Sue, then it isn't original...

	I think a problem of EU is excately what we have with canon characters. We'd write them more the way we wanted them to be, only that in profic this is suddenly canon. And since very author seems to have a different opinion about how any given character should have been... There's a saying in Germany about too many cooks screwing up any dish. I don't know what everybody has against NJO either. I read a few books and stopped in the middle of, um, well, oops. Anybody want a half completed collection? -----signature----- I give up.

	It seems everything after episode III is dark and depressing, which I ormally like but I do like some nice parts in between........ -----signature----- Without (10,000 ABY)-http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/26293075/p1/?16 Padawan to Correlian_Ale Member Of The GDG Member Of the Anti-Hapan Society [CENTER][IMG http://www.wizards.com/magic/images/whatcolor_isred.jpg [/IMG][URL=http://www.wi

	What gets to me about the EU stuff, particularly NJO (which is as far as I got before I got fed up) and beyond, is the fact every few years, the universe is in big trouble. Seriously, folks. How often can a universe be doomed in 100 yrs? For that matter, how many times can the same family save it? OK. Rant over. Sorry c_a. I'm not getting any bites on the plot bunny bait I set out for those challenges. -----signature----- The Ultimate poetry Challenge: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=26190468&brd=10304&replies=6 Two Halves of the Same Whole: http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=27517831&brd=10476&replies=0 *For the 2nd drabble challenge

	It's time to un-pimp your EU. Everyone head over to the OC Writers Anonymous for some great tunes: Pick out a handful of your OCs (you don't have to put them in the same post, so feel free to post again if you come up with more) and tell us what theme song plays in your head when you write them. _ January OC Challenge: I will extend the deadline until tommorrow for all you late-comers. But that's it, no more extensions! -----signature----- Remember: If it's a Mary Sue, then it isn't original...
