Continuity guide for EU authors

I was thinking about the EU, and wondered why there hasn't been a site that offers research material for EU authors. At the very least it could make its presence known to the publishers as a way of maintaining the SW universe.

Obviously SD.net is already a great source of information, but perhaps a page specifically designed for authors.

Many authors do research site like tis one for info, and do raid fan groups for ideas. I recall there being something where an author stole a persons online nick for a character name, and in a few authors books there are "thanks to" lists that include fan sites, IE Zahn thanked a Mara Jade group in SoP

And AC Crispin's books and I believe some of Stackpoles books have similar thank yous.

The EU authors have their own "network". They go to each other for help and there is an official Lucas rep who keeps continuity in line. And yeah, some authors do hang out on newsgroups. Aaron Allston and Mike Stackpole have posted in alt.fan.wedge often when they were writing the X-Wing series.

How do you know? I bet his feelings get hurt real bad

Actually ... some of those fuckers over there (I mean the stupid demographic on TFN) probably like his TURDS.

I used to go there(long have since forgotten my password, and hell most the staff and people I used to hang out with have changed so don't really care)

And my god some people would praise his shit as if it were roses.

I swear they are his inspiration of how 'good' he was doing.
