Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Selling your fanfic on Amazon.com? Bad idea.
The above item was linked on the VIP thread on starwars.com, and a google searched turned up thenaberriegirls.com and this defense. Apocryphal’s a nice word, but so is copyright; Somebody’s getting a letter (at least!) from LFL’s lawyers.

I know a few CJers who’ll get a big kick out of this: Ice dancers Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat have a Star Wars-themed exhibition program. They have the music, lightsabers, costumes, everything you’d expect in the one of the last places you’d expect to see it.
Dan Wallace asks how spacey should Star Wars get? Or, hot chocolate: exotic?

Pabawan gets us in the holiday mood with a three–part (so far) series on bringing a gaint bunny into Star Wars continuty.

Fan Club races are for amateurs, so The Dark Moose declares himself Emperor. As the Emperor’s Hoof, it is my duty to beat you all until you accept his Divine Grace. Or, you know, not.
Sarnjasra looks at A New Hope with You’re All Clear, Kid.
Rynne has some thoughts on angst.

Kenobi-fan is annoyed by clones (and cilantro) and wonders why.
I don’t generally post non-humorous fan art, but there’s a fresh face in Darth Artsy, Jackieocean, and she’s posted three fantastic pieces – portraits of young Obi-Wan, Han, and Luke. See more (including some familiar faces from Lost and Serenity) at her deviantART gallery and sketch blog.
Atom films is pimping the ten most downloaded Fan Film Award winners. Looks like the submission deadline for the 2006 contest is approaching fast…
Surrounded by idiots? Irrational fanpersons? Internet lawyers? People who use terms like ‘true fan’ seriously? Don’t despair: try playing internet argument losing bingo! (via Karen Traviss)
