Announcement - ‘Star Wars: Inheritance’
Hey there!
Due to the extremely disappointment sequel trilogy I have decided that I’m starting a project called ‘Star Wars: Inheritance’ which is me attempting to answer the question “What if Disney and Lucasfilms actually cared about the fans instead of just milking them for money?” Help is required, artists, fans, beta readers, beta writers, alpha writers (co-authors), illustrators, website managers etc. Scroll down for more. You can leave ‘permanent’ roles whenever you want.
PLOT IDEA:-
The story will be primarily posted on Archive Of Our Own, and will be divided into ‘seasons’, like a web series like The Clone Wars (only written instead of animated). The series will pick up 5 years after Return Of The Jedi, featuring characters from the Original Trilogy (eg: Han, Luke, Leia) and Sequel Trilogy (Ben Solo, Rey, Poe Dameron, Finn etc.) but with context. Cameos by Rebels, The Clone Wars, the Prequel trilogy and the novels will also be made.
The ending will be a happy one with the force being balanced, open threads from all of canon closed, a fitting fairytale ending after a lot of suffering, adventure, angst and character growth. Each character will have its arc although the protagonists remain the same. The story will end sometime around TFA/TROS. Several time jumps will be made.
NOTE:-
This is a story to be written by fans. A personal attempt to heal and a bold statement to poor filmmakers who have destroyed a fairytale started 43 years ago. But, most importantly, this is a story for all of the people who work on it as well as read it to enjoy. It provides us closure that canon couldn’t.
ROLES:-
1. Plot Pitchers:
Requirements: Extensive knowledge of canon and/or Legends (EU). Preferable access to novels.
This role is an attempt to make it as canon as possible. More canon than canon. Mention of sources (Wookiepedia links) would be helpful, but not necessary.
Even if you aren’t very proficient with the above but you feel like you have good ideas, DM me. You will be credited. If you simply have a good idea but don’t want to be involved in the long run, just message it to me.
2. Artists/ Illustrators:
Requirements: to be a digital artist/illustator
Concept art has been selected, digital artists required.
The kind of work includes drawing certain scenes from the story, as well as the headers/ covers for it. You can choose what you want to.
This is not a permanent commitment, unless you want it to be. THERE IS NO MONEY INVOLVED (because the initiator is a broke minor).
If you want to be involved for the long run, dm me.
3. Video Editors/ manip creators:
Requirements: Video editing software, Video editing skills
Things like the opening scrawl of each season, small 10-30 sec (more if you can manage) videos of the characters (in later seasons) etc. Please DM me if you are interested.
4. Beta Reader:
Requirements: basic grammatical skills
Each chapter will be needed to be read and suggestions can be made.
5. Social Media Account managers:
Requirements: Tumblr, Instagram or twitter. (other social media are welcome but not compulsory)
You need to create a new account on the web platforms. These accounts will share/rt/rb/post everything about this project. The Account name is to be ‘Star Wars: Inheritance’. dm if interested.
6. Website creator/manager:
Requirements: knowledge on creating a website. Managing it.
Starwarsinheritance.com? Starwarsinheritance.net?
For more details, please dm me.
7. Co writer(s):
Requirements: Writing skills. Experience with Ao3. Team spirit.
At max, two more people are needed. The work load can get too much for one author to produce quality chapters every week. The contents need to be agreed by all the authors. We’ll try our best to include all points.
Please apply for this role if you are REALLY serious about this. DM me.
8. Beta Writer:
Requirements: Writing skills. Experience with Ao3. Team spirit.
You can add your own two cents to it but it will need to be approved by the main writers before being published.
NOTES #2:-
If you DM me I will provide you with the relevant information, and a link to the discord server where we will discuss this in detail.
If you are in for permanent roles, please be committed to this. This fic needs 20 min to 3 hours or more of your time every week depending on your role, and it could possibly go on for a year or more. If at some point you need to quit, issue a notice so we can find someone else.
As of now, there is no money involved in any way. This could change, but right now all you get is personal gratification, comments, kudos and hits.
This is not an overnight project, it will need at least a month’s work before publishing, after our team has assembled.
The first responders will get the role, as this needed to start 200+ days ago (after TROS).
Lastly, I realise that this is a very demanding project for which you could possibly never get paid. This is an attempt to rekindle a dying fandom which was fanned too fast and hard by corporate gold-diggers a.k.a Disney/lf.
This was a glorious fandom before it was divided and ruined. save your story, save your fandom. Please spread the message.
