    Hello all,

    A high quality Star Wars RPG is looking for a few new members.

    The RPG is set up with each writer playing one or more characters, with each character taking a turn posting circa 50-300 word posts to further the story. The style is similar to a round robin, but there is no autoing - no skipping ahead in time (a demonstration can be given to any truly interested, if you are confused about this description).

    The time line is that of post-TPM-pre-AotC. The Original Trilogy is also written, as well, though less frequently and with fewer writers and characters.

    All of our writers are high school level and strive to portray their characters and the situations as best as possible. We'd like to find a few more talented people to join us.

    The three and a half hours between 6:30pm and 10pm Central Standard time are used to write, most often, though posts can be added to our private web site's "chat" at any hour for the other writers to pick up and reply to.

    Our writers spare on average 10 hours a week in the task of writing for our stories, and any new players must be able to give such a commitment as well...the story moves only as fast as we can write it... :)

    While original characters are some of the best and most exciting, here is a small list of some characters we would be glad to find good, permanent writers for:
    Palpatine/Darth Sidious
    Mace Windu
    Yoda
    New Jedi/other characters from EP2
    Temple trainees or Padawans
    Dark Jedi
    Padme's handmaidens
    Any members of the senate
    Mara Jade
    Princess Leia

    At our chat, which we refer to most often as just 'T1', we understand that the character and writer often merge, and we allow creative liberties in both the way you feel a character should behave, and in how the plot should run. Cannon does not always dictate our rules, and each writer will have a strong voice over where and how our stories will run.

    If you would like more information about the chat, just post to this thread in reply, email me at Lam1024@aol.com, or AIM me at Lam1024.

    Note: A small (circa 500 word) sample of your writing (in third-person, please) will be asked of you, just so we can see your writing style. -s-

    Thank you very much for your time,
    Wren

    Fluke_Groundwalker,

    We would love to have a Dark Jedi in the chat. If you need further information on the chat, feel free to contact me using the information in the above post or just leave your question on this thread.

    If you would, please, send me a sample of your writing (circa 500 words and in third-person) over any character and any situation that you wish. Once I have this, I can show it to my fellow writers and we can see where you would best fit in.

    If you'd prefer, you may send the sample to Lam1024@aol.com and I'll get back to on it within a day, if not within hours.

    Thank you for your interest. :)

    Mayo_Solo,

    I'm sorry for the confusion-L- When I said "high school level" I was not refering to your age or number of years of school completed. I meant your level of writing. If you can write proficiently; if you are able to compose the thoughts and actions of your character into about 300 words a post, then I would consider that high school level.

    If you're interested in our writing, even if you're unsure about your writing skills, just go ahead and write the sample paragraph mentioned above and send it in to Lam1024@aol.com. Or, if you have questions, feel free to AIM or email me using the info in my above post - or just leave a message on this thread.

    You are most certainly old enough. -s-

    I'll try Yoda or Mace Windu. I could write 300 words easily (and often), especially since I tend to ramble a lot about nothing, or make up a ton of different things to make stuff happen. I could already also play an original character, who I've already thought of, actually I've thought of 3 or so. You get the idea.

    Oooo this sounds cool. :) I have a orignal character I might be able to use if she would work. She is one of the lost twenty , and is half Chiss.

    Dear Council_of_Trent,

    You're interest in Yoda and Mace is of a great personal delight to me. -s- As is you affirmation of being able to write longer posts and your comment about your inventive nature. These are the sort of things I'm looking for in finding new writers. But, as you must know, I can only determine such skills once I have your sample of writing. Please write 500 words in the third person and email it to Lam1024@aol.com at your leisure. You may use old posts you have already written, or you may write something entirely new - so long as you think that is your best.

    I hope to hear about your three original characters, and if you have no futher question, than I look forward to reading your sample soon.

    Thanks for your interest.-s-

    Mayo_Solo,

    I quite understand your confusion-L-. Again, I'm sorry about it. But I'm glad to hear you can write the requirement. Just remember the sample you send me needs to be 500 words, not just 300. It also needs to be in the third-person, of course.

    Keep up with your practicing :) that's all writing really is...I've written for 5 years, and it still is just practice for the better post I hope to write each time. -s-

    Dear Princess1,

    Your character sounds extremely interesting, and your enthusiasm brings a smile to my face. :)

    If you have any questions about the chat, feel free to use the contact information in my first post (email: Lam1024, AIM: Lam1024) or leave a note here. If not, you may as well begin to put that new character of your to work in the sample paragraph I will have to ask of you. While you can do any scene with any character you like, I'd just remind you to make it about 500 words and in the third person.

    But a half-Chiss fallen Jedi sounds very interesting, and I look forward to see what you can do with it in your writing.

    Thank you for your interest -s-

    Alright, sent my sample. My brother wants to be Yoda, so I'll just stick to Master Windu and my original characters. Sorry about the extra length.

    Council_of_Trent,

    Thank you so very much for you sample submission. The extra length of it is well received, I assure you -s-. And if your brother wants to join us and play Yoda, have him send in his own sample and we'll consider him, too.

    Now, I'm off to read your email -g-

    Fluke_Groundwalker,

    No, your sample does not have to include the character you want to use for the RPG. It can if you want it to - but that's not required. I understand only too well how long it can take to 'break in' a character before you can write your best with it-L-

    Yeah, so he really wants to be Yoda. Also, could you tell me when you plan on actually starting, and when you'll know who is who?
