Old school Hello.

Tommi Jyurro Padawan Joined: 17 Oct 2011 Posts: 6 Location: New Mexico I am a fan of Sci-Fi as a genre, and Star Wars tends to be a prolific part. Besides the movies, my first interaction with Star Wars came from West End Games, before they sold out to WoTC. Yes, that means I played Star Wars back when the ability to write was required. I am rather unfamiliar with the EU of Star Wars, my knowledge of planets extending to what I was able to read in SW: EAW and the innumerable mods I downloaded. That being said, I am trying to write a piece of fan fiction, and I will ask many questions. Be ready. It is a New Universe for me. I tend to play EVE Online, so I have a lot of learning to do about Star Wars. -Tommi Jyurro _________________ You can upgrade your computer. You can upgrade your phone.

Life Is The Path Master Joined: 10 Sep 2010 Posts: 3407 Location: In a galaxy far, far - No, I'm behind you! Got you! Boo! Morning! And welcome to you! I've never played the board games, though if I recall correctly, there are a few here who are familiar with them. Feel free to ask questions. Wookieepedia.com is a great site, if sometimes incorrect, but if there are any questions it fails to answer I'm sure I and the others will be happy to answer. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it. These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

Tommi Jyurro Padawan Joined: 17 Oct 2011 Posts: 6 Location: New Mexico I have read the Bounty Hunter Wars series by K.W. Jeter, about Boba Fett. Jeter is one of my favorite authors. Also, Timothy Zahn's story about Grand Admiral Thrawn was a favorite. I also read a book about Thrawn's origin, can't remember the name to save my life. Vector Prime by R.A. Salvatore. A few others, but it's been years. I want to write a short story, as I love the SW universe, and I have an idea, but don't know where to find the resources so I don't step on too many toes when it comes to the timeline. Any suggestions? _________________ You can upgrade your computer. You can upgrade your phone. You can even upgrade your music service. When the time comes to upgrade yourself, will you?

Any suggestions? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page - Wookiepedia is a good place to start but its a wiki so some of the things you see on there may not be accurate. In general its reliable. And of course the one and only Nathan Butler who shows up on some of the podcasts around here - he authored a pretty comprehensive Star Wars timeline.

And Wookieepedia is a very good resource. Welcome to the forums!
