I didn't get this challenge up last night like I said I would cause I fell asleep! 
We were going to do the mini challenge that I spoke of this week since we are coming up on a big holiday here in the US. (At least it is big in my family... it is the one time of year when all my siblings and their families can come home! ) But I decided to save that for a better occasion at the beginning of August! 
Round One Challenge Four
Challenge Four: The Blame Game
Use the following quote as inspiration for your fic:
"The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on." - Robert Bloch
You are more than welcome to use the quote, but you are not required to use it, but there has to be some blame going on somewhere!
Deadlines, Reminders and Notes:
~ The maximum word limit is 1,250 words, there is no minimum! (That limit seemed to work well last time, unless people aren't voting... then we may have to drop back down!  )
~ Entries are to be PMed to ForceWriter before 11:59pm on Wed. July 9th *Notice the extended time... two more days than normal due to the holiday!
~Voting will end at 12 noon on Sunday July 13th!
Writers: Please remember to include the following with your PM:
Title:
Characters/Pairings:
Era: (Before, Saga, Beyond)
Spoilers: (if applicable)
Summary: (optional)
Also if there are any mark up codes needed for your fic, please include them in your PM in this manner to make sure they get put in correctly:
{i] This is what you want italicized[/i]
Good Luck!

Just a little bump to make sure everyone sees the new challenge!
I'll be off the net from tomorrow afternoon until Wed the 9th so if you have any questions or anything it might take me a while to get back to you! (My sister and her family are coming in tomorrow and my brother and his wife are coming in Sun. I don't get to see any of them very often! )

My 3rd aniversery of being on the boards is on the September 10th, someone send me a challenge! Just nothing too hard!  If you haven't seen Dr. Horribles Sing Along Blog... what are you waiting for??

Challenge Four Voting now open!
Passes:
LordNyax113
DarthBerryStraw
Disqualifications:
lazykbys_left did not send in an entry and since he has used his pass, he is disqualified.
Voting Ends Sunday July 13th at 12-noon
To quote Jaina_and_Jag... Come on people! Get your vote on!
The usual voting reminders:
1. Please read all entries before voting. You can find links to the other era threads below!
2. Do NOT vote positive or negative because you love/hate those characters or pairing, you should be voting on how well the story follows the prompt, characterization, creativity etc., not for the characters themselves.
3. Send a PM with your votes and a reason, please.
Example: I vote for [story number/name here] as the best story because it used the prompt very creatively.
I vote for [story number/name here] as the writer to become one with the Force because I felt the characterization was not accurate.
4. If you beta for one of the writers, please don't vote in either direction for that writer as you know which story is theirs and that completely defeats the purpose of the anonymity. I have no way of checking so we are on the honor system!
5.No voting more than once by using socks!
Links to the entry threads:

There were no entries in Before the Saga for this challenge.

Yeah! haha. Come on people! I haven't had a chance to read them yet, but it looks like we all had similar ideas. Saw several Solo children ones in Beyond and Palpatine ones in Saga.  I'm sure they're lovely and can't wait to read them.

Things are so close you guys... they have been right from the get go! We had ties for both winners and for the One to become OWTF!
We had five people vote this time, which was much better than last but I would love to have more than that!! You can tell people to vote, just not which one to vote for!
Challenge Four Author Reveal
Entry #1 Babysitting by LASOS
Entry # 2 Indecent Proposal by Ceillean
Entry # 3 That's What They're For! by Jaina_and_Jag
Entry # 4 The Scapegoat by Jedimaster_JainaSolo
Entry # 5 Where it Falls by BaronCoop
Entry # 6 Where it Falls by ZaraValinor
Entry # 7 A Little Revision by Persephone_Kore
Challenge Four Winner(s)
Like I said, we had a tie this time, but with total scores for this challenge of +1 each, BarronCoop wins immunity for the second time in a row and LASOS wins immunity for the first time!
Congratulations to both of you! You both win immunity for challenge five though you must still write a story or use your pass. If you do use your pass, you immunity does not carry over to challenge six.
Challenge Four One With the Force
Again there was a tie and we had to go to total game score.
With a challenge score of -1 and a game total of -2, I'm sorry Jaina_and_Jag, you have become One With the Force.
You are still more than welcome to vote in the upcoming challenges, and I hope you will join us again the next round!
Comments will be sent shortly and the next challenge will be posted tomorrow!

 Woot! Woot!
Thanks for the vote, lone fan o mine! Sorry to see you go Jaina_and_jag. Congrats as well (and also) to you too Lasos! Always love a story with Hobbie, even if it is just him getting in trouble for something he didn't do. I am really enjoying this challenge, and even though I always get my posts in at like 11:55 pm, pressure just makes me perform better! That or the random keyboard pecks seem to make people pity me. Either way, I'm one step closer to that $1,000,000!

Vote Palpatine/Vader '08! Or Else!

Have a Nice Day! Or Else!

I meant to vote, but I got home late from church and the lunch afterwards... my son was baptized this morning, and a group from the congregation had him choose the location (he chose Buffalo Wild Wings).
Congratulations BaronCoop and LAOS.

Sorry I'm so late getting this up, I've been at the hospital all day... my grandfather just got out of an 8 hour emergency surgery. He is alright now, but it kept me away from my computer all day.
I'm glad you are enjoying yourself, BarronCoop and don't worry about sliding in right at the time limit... you certainly aren't the only one and I'd probably be doing that too!
Round One, Challenge Five
An Expert Opinion:
Your character(s) is an expert at something... tell us about it.
What is it? How did they learn it? From whom did they learn it? (You don't have to answer these questions, they are just to get your muse going.) The catch... it can not be something we know they have an expertise in!
Example: We all know that Luke could be considered an Expert on the Force, but what if he also though himself an expert musician?
Deadlines and the standard Reminders and Notes:
~ The maximum word limit is 1,250 words, there is no minimum!
~ Entries are to be PMed to ForceWriter before 11:59pm on Tuesday July 22ed
--Entries will be up later in the evening on Wed July 16, due to my clinicals.
~Voting will end at 12 noon on Sunday July 26th
Writers: Please remember to include the following with your PM:
Title:
Characters/Pairings:
Era: (Before, Saga, Beyond)
Spoilers: (if applicable)
Summary: (optional)
Also if there are any mark up codes needed for your fic, please include them in your PM in this manner to make sure they get put in correctly:
