Ladies and Gentlemen...

Continuing winners of the What's the Story contest...

There continues to be no appropriate words for the feeling I feel each time a new round of scribes is inducted into George Lucas' fantastical kingdom. There is only this modest monument I can maintain in acknowledgment of your greatness. Each time your names and work are revealed, I relive what it was like for me to first fulfill my dream of contributing my ideas and words to the Star Wars universe. And so, I thank you for your remarkable efforts.

With the original tribute to What's the Story authors becoming a bit crowded, a new wing has been added to this writers' hall of fame! Enter and receive thy accolades.

In the latest round of the contest there's the intriguing and continuity savvy story of Corla Metonae, the slick specs of the DC0052, the properly spooky Shadow Troopers, the beautiful simplicity of Silya Shessaun's tale, and the carefully premeditated villainy of Ottegru Grey. My favorite, however, is Tim Veekhoven's "Blam" entry, which really tickled my funny bone.

As always, I extend an invitation to you newly anointed Star Wars authors to drop me a line (abelgpena@star-wars.net) so I can congratulate you personally. If you like, you can also tell me your real name which I'll post beside your StarWars.com moniker so the world can know who... Twi'LekEntertainer is, for instance. You can also submit any blogs explaining your winning entry at the What's the Story Behind the Scenes Index.

Again, congratulations on your success, folks. Keep taking your best shots... they could be one in a million. ~ Abel G. Peņa
