| Description: | A forum for discussion of a New Star Wars Expanded Universe, because the existing one sucks |
AboutThis community is a forum for discussion of a new Star Wars Expanded Universe, and for posting related fanworks.
Dissatisfied with the existing EU, particularly with its mistreatment of minority characters and women and its often nonsensical storylines, we (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
rizny and fialleril) had the urge to come up with background stories for various minor and/or minority characters and post-ROTJ storylines that actually made sense. Then we thought, why not make a comm?
Our aim is to sift through the EU and decide what to take from it and what to discard or transform, in order to create a fully fleshed-out NEU, or New Expanded Universe. Needless to say, we don't all have to agree on what will grow out of this - the NEU is by no means official. It's just fanon that hopefully will provide a starting point for creative fanworks.
And that means that fanart, graphics, fanfiction, and discussion are all welcome here! All we ask is that you follow these rules when you post:
Rules
[x] Please keep it focused on minor characters, and major characters in missing scenes from the movies. Material taking place between movies/after ROTJ is also welcome. But if you want to discuss Luke's characterization in ANH, there are other comms for that.
[x] For the purposes of this comm, canon is Star Wars Episodes I-VI. The Clone Wars may be interpreted as canon or not, as there is some dissension in the ranks. ;)
[x] This is not the place for AUs of the films. We love reading them as much as anyone, but this comm is for rewriting the EU, not the Star Wars films.
[x] No character-bashing. Not even EU characters. ;) If you don't like the way someone is characterized in the EU, create your own version! That's why we're here.
[x] No flaming. Treat your fellow posters with respect!
[x] No spamming the community.
[x] Enjoy your stay! :D
Disclaimer: Star Wars belongs to Lucasfilm and associated enterprises. This community is for fanworks and discussion, and no one is making any money!
