maythe4th_comm / MayThe4thBeWithYou (DW)
May The 4th Be With You is a low-pressure Star Wars themed fanworks exchange, running from February 1st to May 4th. The exchange is based on the same principle as Parallels and Yuletide. Fanworks may revolve around characters from any of the Star Wars theatrical releases, defined as the Original Trilogy, the Prequel Trilogy, and The Force Awakens. If the exchange is successful, we'd like to bring on more mods who are familiar enough with other properties next time.
Participants who sign up agree to write a story of no less than 500 words, or to create a piece of fan art no smaller than 500 x 500 pixels that can stand as a completed work, in exchange for receiving one story or one piece of fan art.
