    Welcome to 2016, NSWFF! Mira and I decided to continue our tradition of making yearly announcements and getting everyone's thoughts about the state of the forum. We truly value your opinions, so please feel free to share!


    Looking for Alaska
    Looking for something? Unfortunately, our search function is down. Check out http://boards.theforce.net/threads/elasticsearch-has-been-disabled.50035213/]this[/url] Comms thread for more information on how to find what you're looking for.


    "Your mission, should you choose to accept it ..."
    We've talked about having an index before, but with the search function down, we're very interested in having someone compile our stories and keep the list up-to-date. Interested? Please PM Mira and me to discuss it!


    "I would have waited an eternity for this"
    The ban on LGBTQ relationships has been http://boards.theforce.net/threads/lgbtq-relationships.50030605/]overturned[/url]! You are now free to write stories about relationships where the characters have any sexual orientation (including characters who are straight in canon). The http://boards.theforce.net/threads/nswff-faq-2-0-revised-february-2015.29755150/]FAQ[/url] has been updated with this information.


    "I challenge YOU!"
    We had a great time participating in the http://boards.theforce.net/threads/fanfic-olympics-round-three-results-and-the-winners-of-the-fanfic-olympics-are.50033070/]Fan[/url] Fic Olympics this year! We're not sure what's in store for 2016, but we are definitely interested in another cross-forum challenge, so stay tuned!

    Have a challenge idea yourself? Whether you want to run it yourself or hand it off to the mods, feel free to PM Mira and me or share it in the thread! We might even be willing to hand out colors ... [face_batting]

    In the meantime, check out the http://boards.theforce.net/threads/the-nswff-prompt-thread-new-prompt-up-12-26.50017923/]NSWFF[/url] prompt thread and the NSWFF-friendly http://boards.theforce.net/threads/fan-fiction-resource-challenges.31505901/]Fan[/url] Fiction Resources challenges.


    "I'ma let you finish, but ..."
    With the lack of interest in awards in the past few years, we are going to pass on doing them once again. However, if there is a strong interest in doing some sort of awards or challenge, we are open to your thoughts!


    Chatty Cathys

    We also wanted to bump this thread and draw attention to a particular disallowed fandom: Star Wars. From the FAQ:


    Any stories involving Star Wars should be posted in the Star Wars Fan Fiction forum, including crossovers where the Star Wars universe or characters are involved. If you have a story thread with many fandoms in lots of smaller stories (like drabbles), please separate the Star Wars drabbles into a thread in the other forum.


    We've had some confusion about that lately, but when the forum was created, that was the deal we made so we wouldn't siphon off anything from the existing SWFF forum.

    If anyone has a question, concern, or comment, please feel free to let us know!
