SPECIAL NOTE:

George Lucas, through his subsidiary corporation LucasFilm, Ltd., has issued a
statement that he tolerates fan fiction based on his Star Wars universe, so long as the
stories are not pornographic, that they promote and preserve the family-oriented nature
of the Star Wars saga, and that the fan fiction author makes no profit from this
secondary creative forum. This web site seeks in all ways to honor Mr. Lucas' desires
and uphold his values, and this author calls upon other fan sites to do the same.

I would like to express my gratitude to authors Kevin J. Anderson, Greg Bear, Shane
Dix, Barbara Hambly, George Lucas, James Luceno, Russ Manning, John Ostrander,
Steve Perry, Michael Reaves, Karen Traviss, Sean Williams, and Timothy Zahn for
laying the foundation of this opportunity to share my ideas with other Star Wars fans,
and particularly to Mr. Lucas and Lucasfilm, Ltd. for allowing fan fiction to coexist with
their copyrights.

I also thank my mother for inspiring me to resume writing Star Wars fan fiction after a dry
spell of more than a decade, and thanks also to my best friend from college, Dave W.,
whose discussions and inspiration helped me to create some of my original characters.
