  3. You’ve neglected Nathan P. Butler, @swfanworks

    His website, starwarsfanworks.com hosts some of the best Star Wars fan Audio Dramas

    He also created and maintains the Star Wars Timeline, the TRUE essential chronology.

    He has written in the Star Wars Universe (Star Wars Tales – Equals and Opposites)

    He contributed to the new Star Wars Essential Atlas.

  4. I know who he is, but he’s also not public…

    (Please include new folks as links down here: I won’t have time to update the list until this afternoon, though I will be approving comments.)

  5. As @FETTS I have done Star Wars sketch cards for Topps, custom toys for Suckadellic, and I won the ultimate Fanboys contest to be an extra in the movie. And @HCwST is my blog Hot Chicks with Stormtroopers!

  7. Thank you, Dunc for adding me to the Twitter guide! :D
