Fan Fiction

- National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) takes place during the month of November. If you are thinking of taking part, come join the discussion and get your name on the list here in SW Fan Fiction Resource. Icons for the event will be loaded during October.

Live Action, Clone Wars and Cartoon

- LACWAC has finally moved into full swing with the premiere of The Clone Wars 2nd Season - Rise of the Bounty Hunters! Be sure to watch both Holocron Heist and Cargo of Doom (which are now available in the Official Site for U.S. viewers) and comment in the discussion threads. While the new episodes have sparked all manner of discussion, from the properties of Force Sense to Canon discussions, we're already looking forward the this weeks episode: Children of the Force.

 

Also, this just in: there's a new Banner Open Call thread in Fan Design, and SFF: Books and Comics is first up with a great, desperate need for a banner for the new Wheel of Time book. We'd be forever grateful if someone wanted to make it

Oh, and we're offering colors

 

Nothing about the ten year NJO celebrations in Lit?
