Now Voting!
I've placed the entries in their appropriate threads. Initially they were going to be here, but I figured we might get more votes if they are out and about!  Please tell your friends to vote... just don't tell them which one to vote for! 
Writers: Please let me know if any of your markup codes are showing! I double checked, but sometimes they still slip through!
We only had one writer who didn't send in an entry, so RX_Sith has automatically used his pass.
Links to the entry threads:
Beyond the Saga
The Saga
Before the Saga
A few 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!
Voting will end at 12 noon on Monday June 2nd!

We only had one writer who didn't send in an entry, so unfortunatly RX_Sith is now out of this round of competition. 
That counts as the pass, right? (Just checking that I understand.)

Nice to see the entries are up.
A few questions:
Are we allowed to post comments in the challenge entry threads?
Are we allowed to repost our entries in their own threads after the voting is done?
Are you going to reveal who wrote what when the voting is over?
Have you decided what to do if there's a tie?
BTW - I would like to see the voters' comments for my entry, please.

NOTE TO WRITERS: Remember: If you would like to receive the voters comments for your entry, please let me know and I will send them to you! I will continue to send them to you throughout the competition unless you ask me to stop!
We've had some good questions here, so please read!
That counts as the pass, right? (Just checking that I understand.)
No, if you want a pass you have to say that you want to use it. Though I might allow it to work that way this once if that was unclear!
Are we allowed to post comments in the challenge entry threads?
Yep! Just don't say anything that might give away which one is yours, and don't place your votes in the threads!
Are we allowed to repost our entries in their own threads after the voting is done?
After I reviel who won, you may repost them in your own thread!
Are you going to reveal who wrote what when the voting is over?
Yep!
Have you decided what to do if there's a tie?
If there is a tie for the writer to become One with the Force, it will be the writer who has the most total negative votes from all the previous challenges in this round of competition. If it is a tie for immunity, both writers will get immunity.

Um . . . so what if this happens in this opening challenge?

I think it might be fair to count the first absence automatically as a pass, whether in general or just pre-clarification.
I figured it was probably ideal to inform you if possible, but since the idea is partly to cushion the effects of real-life interruptions, it also seemed reasonable not to require notification. A sudden internet outage or some unexpected hectic event could easily cause someone to miss the deadline without having much chance to let you know.
If you want to be stricter, well, it's not like you had to offer a pass at all. *g* But I figured I'd offer my view.

Um . . . so what if this happens in this round?
LOL! I was hoping you wouldn't notice that I didn't address that and then really hoping it wouldn't happen! 
If it does happen, we will have a re-vote between the two stories and only the writers will vote (except for the writers who are part of the tie).
Does that sound fair to everyone?

I think that is a good idea, I wasn't thinking of that! That is the way we will do it!
Thank you for your suggestion!

It was fun to read the entries. It seems most of us had the same ideas for the job descriptions.  Though a couple of them were more gruesome than others.
I would like to see voter's comments on mine... I'm going to assume if mine was mentioned, it was either as best or for me to be one with the force. We aren't supposed to mention others, right?

Right! Unless of course you really want to send comments to the writer anomalously. If you do I would be glad to pass them on!

There is still time to vote, so make sure you send them in before tomorrow at Noon, board time!
Remember writers, you can vote too, just not for yourself!!
