	I actually have two OC fics up right now. I am not sure if I am doing this correctly by posting the link right here, if I'm not jus say something and I will edit my post. Until then Viva La OC Revolution. Blood of Patriots Title: The Blood of Patriots Author(s): CodyMonKenobi Timeframe: 4 years after ROTS Characters: OC's Genre: Action/Adventure Keywords: Storm Troopers, action, war. Summary: The Empire drafts citizens to replace clones as storm troopers. This story follows one of them from initial training into war with the rebels. This is an epic about a regular joe becoming a Stormie Guardian of the Stone Title: Guardian of the Stone Author(s): CodyMonKenobi Timeframe: 200 years before TPM Characters: Shamira (OC), Jork (OC), Rworshk (OC) Genre: Angst, Action, Drama Keywords: OC, Viggie Summary: Shamira must protect an evil artifact from falling into the wrong hands. She recollects the first time she has to take a life. Notes: This is in response to the GWG December challenge. This one is a lot shorter. Idea for a charecter I wanted to use later on in some other stories I thought I would give her a background. Like I said if I am wrong please just let me know and I will fix myself. -----signature----- We rednecks like to stay with-in the four main food groups.

	I've read them all, and I must say that everyone has done a great job. There are no bad entries-which makes the decision of who to vote for a tough one. -----signature----- Mrs. Lovett: You're barking mad! Killing a man what done no harm to ya! Sweeney Todd: He recognized me from the old days. Tried to blackmail me. Mrs. Lovett: Oh, well that's a different matter then. For a moment there I thought you lost your marbles.

OCDatabaseSock Registered: Dec '04	Date Posted: 12/24/06 8:29am Subject: Weekly Update - Voting almost up!
	Weekly Updates: Hey everyone; I hope you are all enjoying your holidays whatever they may be; just some updates for you. Added to the story index this week are: The Blood of Patriots & Guardian of the Stone both by CodyMonKenobi & Metamorphisis by Raptor517 Over in the OC Writers Anonymous oqidaun has all you OCs making out their list for Santa Clause (it's not too late): Tis the season for giving gifts. Write out your holiday list for your favorite OCs (naughty or nice) and tell us what you'd give them for [insert Winter holiday here]. OC Holiday Wish list Challenge voting ENDS DECEMBER 28th!!!! I know most of you have read the entries, but voting has been extremely low thus far ...so come on, get those votes PMed to me ASAP! The OC Story of the Month will be returning in January 2007, so keep your eye out here next year (it's only a week a way) OC Writing Tip #4 OC Darwin-ism: It's Evolution baby! Characters need to develop, they can't say the same person throughout the whole story. It can be drastic, or it can be subtle, but in the end, OCs need to change, whether it be positively or negatively. After all RL people change based on their life experiences, and so should your fictional characters. You wouldn't have a rebel soldier return home after the war and pick-up right where he left off; his core personality should have been altered from the experiences he received figting the Empire; shouldn't they? What if your special OC just got his/her pilot's license, don't you think they're going to change in some way, especially witha all the new possibilities available to them now? Character change has to be inevitable, but how your Original Character adapts is up to you. Happy Holidays Everybody!!!! -----signature----- Remember: If it's a Mary Sue, then it isn't original...

OCDatabaseSock Registered: Dec '04	Date Posted: 12/29/06 5:54pm Subject: RE: The Essential Guide to O.C.s - Yay! Winner(s)!
	Good Evening! O.k., so the news everyone is waiting for, the winner of the very first "Essential OC Challenge", I'd like to thank everyone who participated; and due to last minute voting; the votes were VERY close. No doubt to the awesome job everyone did! I am very proud to announce that the challenge has presented a TIE: Tainted Outsider by Alley_Skywalker & Fever Dreams by emeraldshadow And to celebrate this monumental event, you two are free to submit you're own challenge; or put your minds together and brianstorm together. Just PM me when you guys when you make a decision (by Monday, no pressure). Everyone big round of applause please! Thank-you to Alley_Skywalker for her latest submission to the index: Peace Under The Mistletoe by Alley_Skywalker Remember to help me bulk up the 2007 sections of the OC index this coming year people!!! OC Writing Tip #5 Honest judge, I'm a product of my environment! OCs gotta' come from somewhere, but do they all come from Coruscant, Corellia, or Csilla? How about an environment that the EU has yet to discover? Is where they come from as much as what they are as what they become? Create a world of OCs! You'll never run out of fun characters to work with! For those of you who have created a micro-verse all unto their own for their OC, or just want some inspiration to do so; check out this thread: JMT000's World Builder Society It's a whole new World of possibilities for your Original Characters. (ugh. ) Happpy New Year everyone! OCs rule in 2007!!! -----signature----- Remember: If it's a Mary Sue, then it isn't original...
