    And how about make sure that people say that its a drama, romance, etc......


    that way, when it gets the ratings, the special faces can be used........



    Like for instance, lets say someone's fic has Luke and Mara married right after Jedi Academy trilogy......its only partially canon.....because its AU since it ignores Callista ;)


    That's why Era would be a good idea.




    And advertise about the databank in your stories......I know one of my newest readers says there are so few Luke/Mara stories....and there really are......so that might be a good way to get the word out.... ;)

    Good idea.

    Why not do it similar to the official stories index (you know, those sticky indexes in the fanfic forum)? Sort it by Era; and then say "EU compliant", "partially EU compliant", "completely AU" - something like that.

    And advertise about the databank in your stories......I know one of my newest readers says there are so few Luke/Mara stories....and there really are......so that might be a good way to get the word out....

    Good idea.

    I'm back from the holidays.

    Jedi_Liz: Yeah, I agree that AU and cannon should be seperated.

    I like the idea of doing it similar to the sticky indexes.


    Also,there should be keywords.....like Crossover, etc



    Like one of my upcoming fics is a Star Wars / X-Men crossover. That would be AU and a crossover......well, its AU anyway.....but you get the idea.



    What other services are we providing, Emmi?

    Could you do a recap?

    Lets see, here's what Emmi listed yesterday.

    Trivia Questions
    Mara Quotes-currently being supervised by AngelQueen
    The New Databank-currently being supervised by Jedi_Liz
    Luke pics-currently being supervised by Devi
    Mara pics
    Articles on Mara-currently being supervised by AngelQueen(For the webpage)


    I was thinking. Perhaps we could have someone do some Luke quotes as well. There are a few conversations that Mara and Luke had that are great dialogue when they're put together.

    Any thoughts?

    Emmi gave the okay on using fanfic quotes, as long as we have the author's permission.

    I plan on starting my quote-gathering mission soon. I have another project to do-dealing with Bring on the Rain-and once I've worked on that, I'll get started on the quotes. :)

    Well, as soon as the new databank is up and running, Liz, we're going to start the ratings/reviews. The reviews should probably be separate from ratings.

    Perhaps we should have two people just to do ratings (or even one person if we don't have enough members to spare) and add a catchy name to it. Like at the bottom of every story that is rated, it could say

    ____ and _____ say:

    :):):):):)

    *shrugs* Just an idea...

    Reviews will be a bit different. They should probably be set up like the reviews at the archive.

    Reviews will first appear on the website, and then if they go off well with users then they might be posted here on the WR, with a separate thread and author's permission.

    I like "HI" and "PORTAL"


    I don't like designs with "frames".....

    "Highlife" is my favorite. It doesn't have frames.

    Frames are hard to manage, too. I just thought I'd toss the four best ideas out there.


    EDIT: I changed my mind. I like HI better. It's easier on the eyes, with the lavender color.

    Remember that all of the graphics can be changed.

    If anyone has a good graphics editor and knows how to use it, let me know. I may need someone to design a logo and other things for us.

    HI might be the best. I like the colors on Highlife, but the way the page is laid out isn't the best. Portal is best as far as design, but the color is . . . dark. 8-}

    So I like HI best. :)

    Emi, I might be able to do something with the graphics here are some of my things. Some are better than others. The ones that are bad are earlier ones.

    Well, mistryl, oba has requested an official logo done for us by someone who does archive story covers. I know we'll need some stuff after that, though, so I'll let you know.

    Congratulations to Liz! Her story Lightswords of Fury has been nominated FIVE TIMES for the Fanfic Awards!

    Since Liz has been so blessed, we need to help her out. For each nomination, she has to send in a passage from her story concerning what she was nominated in. She'll be along later to list the categories.

    What WE need to do is run through Liz's story and see which passages we think best. Does everyone agree?

    Emmi
