One of the greatest assets we have in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood is our membership. Within our membership we have people whose skill range across the entire spectrum, from fiction writing to website coding and even if rumours are to believed: game design. Part of my job as Recruitment Tribune is to find out ways to harness our abilities and skills, and use them to show off our club to the rest of the internet... but in the areas of Fiction, that has been decidedly hard.

You see, there's a bit of a problem at times... people who aren't in the Brotherhood don't know who our characters are. Much of what we do, thanks to our vast resources of Character Sheets and Wikipedia Articles, even our Dossiers, allows us to jump into a story with characters that are predefined, already a known factor.

This makes sharing our excellent works a bit harder with the internet at large, because frankly... they don't know why a grumpy old man from a weird place called Taldryan is an ace pilot who thinks he's a panda. They don't know why those brave warriors from Scholae Palatinae call their leader Emperor... our standard fictions exist in a universe we've created, and it's not a universe everyone shares in... yet.

To those ends, I will be running a series of fiction competitions in conjunction with the Voice, designed to showcase our membership's fantastic abilities, and share with the internet.

You can find the first competition here, and please make note of the details section. This competition is to make use of established canon only, and is not to make use of any members of the Brotherhood. If you have any questions, feel free to [Log in to view e-mail addresses] and ask.

Good luck, and I'm looking forward to seeing what our writers can do!
