Time to dig deep into the darkest and most twisted corners of your minds people :D
 This month's topic is of the Dark Side!!!
 
 
 
 Essence of the Dark Side:
 
 What exactly is the dark side?
 
 How can you truly sum up what it means to be evil?
 
 How does a person fall to the dark side and why?...
 
 
 
 ... Just a couple of things to help you see what I mean :) ... 
 
 Looking forward to reading how dark the writers of Lucasforums can be :evil2: .... :xp:
 
 Have fun and good luck!!!!
  
 
  
  
    @Mods: Is art still accepted as an entry?
  
 
  
  
    Well then I just might have time to make a good dark picture. :)
  
 
  
  
    There was an idea I had once that I think can loosely relate to the topic. I'll see if I can work on it, it can be great.
  
 
  
  
    Would it be acceptable for my entry to be a continuation, or possibly a revision/rewrite, of an entry from my never-finished Diaries of a Jedi series? As I recall I never reached the point in that fic that I hope to use for this month's contest, and if it's acceptable I'd love to do so.
  
 
  
  
    Oooh, this subject looks very very promising....fine choice...Master BFA.....:D
  
 
  
  
    In answer to your question Doc: 
 
 As long as the entry has not been published before on LF or any other fanfic site then you are in the clear.
 
 Reminder to everyone:
 Check out the rule thread for the list of rules that make an acceptable entry for Javyars.
  
 
  
  
    I would have to say a revision of a story would not be allowed, but if it's a previously unpublished chapter in a continuing story, that would be fine.
  
 
  
  
    Excellent. Thank you, Jae. ^_^ I shall be participating in this month's contest, then.
  
 
  
  
    Errr...what's the deadline? :p
  
 
  
  
    I'll enter this, it sounds interesting ^-^.
 
 now i wonder what kind of evil is a good enough evil -goes off thinking-
  
 
  
  
    You'll definitely see me here...( Insert EVIL laugh here)
  
 
  
  
    We will be accepting entries until the end of next week February 21.
  
 
  
  
    Does it have to be a force sensitive individual, or can they simply be dark and evil in nature?
  
 
  
  
    ^ I'll defer to Mr_BFA on this, but I think that being Force-sensitive is not a requirement.
  
 
  
  
    Force-sensitive is not a requirement :)
  
 
  
  
    Mmmk, so basically, we just have to epitomise/embody/exemplify evil and darkness in some way. I'm ready to go. :P
  
 
  
  
    Whatever you get out of the prompt Addy. Heck you can go as deep as you want to with darkness.
  
 
  
  
    Well, I guess this'll be my first time entering. Those of you in my RP series will recognise the character.
  
 
  
  
    I'm just glad that it's not force-sensitive required...hehe....I submitted my post the day the topic came out, and the yay/nay on foce-sensitive requirements came down almost a week later...teehee.
  
 
  
  
    Okay, so yesterday I submitted my first ever fan-fic. In all honesty it wasn't really connected to Star Wars, nor was it much of a story. But yeh, it embodies my view of the darkside. :) Would that count or does it have to be a story, with a character and such?
  
 
  
  
    It has to have some kind of connection to Star Wars. It doesn't have to be a major connection, but it has to be related somehow.
  
 
  
  
    Oh god . . . I already submitted it. Geez, I sure hope I did include a connection somewhere . . . damn thats a stupid mistake of me to make. I think I included one . . . I think . . .
  
 
  
  
    Maybe it's a stupid question, but I just want to be sure before I submit anything - are there any specific instructions/rules when it comes to submitting an art entry, or should I just make a normal thread here and put an "Other" prefix?
  
 
  
  
    I'm going to try and whip something up tonight to enter. It probably wont be very good though :D
  
 
  
  
    Admiral_Thrawn, no worries :) Just take it as it comes! 
 
 igyman, that looks fine :)
 
 LordOfTheFish, it'll be fine ;o Practice makes perfect anyway!
  
 
  
  
    yo, can i just point out that the last javyar's contest was a draw between my and mr_bfa and i simply abdicated responsiblity for the topic-choosing (with conditions... :xp: ). so can i have one of those neat little badges aswell? :D
 
 Put any badge requests in the badge thread in the forum feedback section of the main forum board, or PM one of us staffers, instead of posting here. I didn't see this at all (since it's off-topic for this thread) until I checked and saw there were what I thought were questions about this month's contest. --Jae
  
 
  
  
    Jae's working her way through the list, so just be patient k? ;)
  
 
  
  
    My submission isn't so much a fic in itself, as much as a retelling of my alternate star Wars future from the point of view of a prominent Sith Lord. Does that still work?
