I know we've still got some stragglers who have extensions posting their fic, but I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in the swhetgenathon. I will be reading all the fics very soon, probably by next week, I expect. It was a fine turn-out from what I see so far! I really appreciate it, and thanks again for being part of swhetgenathon. :D

( A Scoundrel's Wisdom )

I have changed the due date for all fics for the swhetgenathon to December 31st. I updated the info and posts and stuff. This is due to the fact that everyone is writing NaNoWriMo this month and that I signed up for too many challenges and need more time to write my own fic. Consider it an abuse of mod powers that benefits everyone. :D

I repeat, folks, you have until December 31st, 2005 to write your fics. That's the end of the year, kids. You can do it. *cheerleads*

Oh, Jesus, I still have to figure out how to write Mace "It's my duty to please that Jedi booty" Windu in a het fic. *facedesky*

ETA: Please tag all your fics with either "het fics" or "gen fics", depending what is, yah? (If you've already posted, I already tagged it for you.)

Title: The Quiet Ones
Author: Dee (cupiscent)
Rating: Adult (for themes, language, sex)
Pairing: Mon Mothma/Obi-Wan Kenobi (with Mon/Bail backdrop)
Warning(s): none
Summary: In the last days of the Republic, Mon Mothma's politics will be almost eclipsed by her personal relationships.
Notes: For reasons of creative license, I have shuffled some events of the novelisation a tiny bit. (Copious further notes at the end.)
Written For: swhetgenathon, Character Prompt: Mon Mothma; Story Prompt: unrequited love

Politics makes strange bedfellows.
- Charles Dudley Warner

( "She honesty thought she was smarter than this." )

I realized I made a mistake somewhere, and in any case, I feel that a deadline of November 30th for the swhetgenathon is more appropriate. So there's still lots of time. :D Unless you're like me and signed up for 29873856532 ficathons and challenges. >.>

So, how is everyone coming along? Fics treating you right, the muses being kind? Anyone need new prompts or anything?

If you guys want to bounce ideas off of me or talk fic, feel free. Comment here, or you can contact me on AIM at imadrabloodwater. Comment here first before you ping, so I can tell you if I'm on or not (since I usually hide a lot).

Feedback welcomed, good or bad!

Hello, folks! Hope the muses are treating you right and your fics are going well. Posting begins tomorrow, October 1st, and will carry on until November 30th December 31st.

The rules for the swhetgenathon can still be found on the User Info.

Here is a little posting template. Feel free to alter it to your desire if you choose, just please make sure to mention you're writing for swhetgenathon, and what your character and story prompts are.

Posting Template

Please label your entries' subjects with 'Fic: "Title" (Rating, Gen or Pairing, Number/Of Parts)'.

I know not everyone likes headers, but a small one would be appreciated.

Pairing: (if for het) / Characters: (if for gen)

I have a disclaimer on the comm itself, so whether you post one for your fic or not is up to you.

Hello, everyone! Initial sign-ups for the swhetgenathon are closed. If you still wish to sign-up, feel free to do so. I will be assigning only leftover characters (but cheer up, there's still a great selection). If you're not a member of the community and are writing something, please join! Also, I ask that you watch the community for mod notes and discussions and whatnot.

I posted all the assignments and have made the initial switches. If you guys still need to switch a character or story prompt, then still feel free to email or comment to any of my posts, with a new number (1-25 for characters, 1-10 for stories), and I'll work it out. You can change as many times as necessary. I want fics, not restrictions. I will update this Master List if you change prompts.

The rules can be found on the User Info. Nothing complicated, and don't let my sarcasm scare you. XD

Important Dates

- Sign-ups are allowed until September 15th.
