Get your choobies in gear.

Starwars.com recently posted a feature asking Hyperspace members to help shape the Star Wars mythos.

"Each week, members of Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club will have the opportunity to leave their mark on the Star Wars expanded universe. Fans can develop an original backstory for characters, creatures, locations, vehicles, and more seen in the Star Wars films. If your backstory is selected, it will become part of Star Wars continuity and be included in the starwars.com databank."

Remember those seemingly insurmountable hurdles that Lucasfilm Licensees always bring up when aspiring fans ask what it takes to write for Star Wars? 1) You must be "invited," and 2) You must be previously published. Well folks, "What's the Story?" is the invitation, and I don't see anywhere the caveat that you need to be previously published.

Don't hesitate. Give it your very best shot. Do not give up. Make your mark.

Go! Go!

How about this for an added bonus. I'll not only congratulate the authors in a future blog, but I'll also do my best to make reference to some of the winning entries in my future official Star Wars projects. A gift from one fanboy to another.

Good luck. ~ Abel G. Peņa
