Fanfic Challenge: ROTJ Rewrite

Nieztchean Uber-Amoeba · Post by **Nieztchean Uber-Amoeba** » 2005-06-15 09:37pm

Well, I have a whole summer without a big vacation, and I've been working on my writing skills, so sure, I'll sign up.

... As the first act begins, Leia and Lando fly to Nar Shaddaa to bargain for Han's life from the crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Meanwhile, Luke, on a desperate quest to find his sister, feels her presence on Coruscant, and so he travels straight into the belly of the beast. But far away, the Rebellion itself is building a Great Weapon that will finally be able to break the evil Empire, while the Emperor himself prepares the greatest fleet in all of History to ambush and annihilate the rebels once and for all...

Damn, this thing is writing itself!

These are the applicants so far. You have the rules, you have the time - August 15th - and the prize will be a custom title (Winner of the ROTJ Rewrite Contest) and/or a Banner declaring the same for your sig. Get workin'.

Could the iffy ones confirm their status?

EDIT: Added Hardy

That implies that application is still open. May I be put on the list, as well?

Yeah sure, I'll give it a shot. No word cap, huh? I'm on it.

I'm definitely going to participate.

Edit: Why wasn't I on the list to begin with? I signed up rather early.

I'm not going to be able to do this, but I am happy to offer my services as a proofreader and SW enthusiast/superfan.

I'll keep that in mind. Seriously.

I like the idea of writing some EU for the victor's rewrite.....

I was considering signing up, however you'd never get anything out of me, because of coming exams. Although, I'm looking forward to seeing the results. There better be good lightsaber combat. And yeah, the EU based off of the rewrite would be fun.

Stickied for obvious reasons

I was considering joining up, but the contest's limitations don't rub me the right way. Sorry. Though I hope you guys have fun.

You know, the original Death Star wasn't made over the Wookiee homeworld (Kashyyyk).

It was built over a prison world (aptly) called Despayre, in the Horuz system. Said planet then became the Death Star's first target.

I'm afraid that I must withdraw from the contest as my work on the fic has been causing me migraines and there are things here in the real world that I have to pay attention to.

Are applications still being taken? This thread is nearly a month old, but I've only joined these boards a few days ago.

Illuminatus Primus · Post by **Illuminatus Primus** » 2005-07-27 03:44am

There are just under three weeks left until the contest is concluded.

Though I am still owrking on this project, due to time constraints I do not believe that I'll be able to finish the script re-write within the allowed time (by August the 15th). However, sometime after, perhaps in early september, I will still post my submission.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2005-07-27 05:21pm

Hmm, I noted a method of determining the victor has never been outlined. Will it be an open vote? Admin's picks? Hippy everybody wins crap?

Darth Fanboy · Post by **Darth Fanboy** » 2005-07-28 03:09pm

I can't get to the RoTJ re-write I have planned until I do RoTS, ANH, and ESB how long is this good for?

Knife · Post by **Knife** » 2005-08-03 05:31pm

I hate to do it, but I must bow out. My re-write has suffered two re-writes and I no longer have the time to do it. My apologies, I hate not being able to do what I say.

Again, sorry.

Well I think judges are in order. I'm thinking myself, RedImp, and I'm looking for a third and maybe a fourth.

Due date less than two weeks off.

Do you guys who were working on it or wanted to submit maybe think about an extension? I'd allow one more month.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2005-08-12 03:00am

A month would be nice, a week would be fine.

Illuminatus Primus · Post by **Illuminatus Primus** » 2005-08-16 03:21pm

Obviously it was supposed to be due yesterday.

Another month has been appended. Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 P.M., Septemeber 15th, 2005.
