Limits :
Please, no intentional Mary-Sues, Cannon-character slash, or stories revolving around Jar Jar (or Gungans in general). I've also gotten a little sick of Ani/Ami marriage proposals.
Comments :
I've been reading and writing Star Wars fanfic since I could read and write. I can offer general help with grammar, plot, characterization, and Cannon info. I try to tell people as many good things as I do bad about their stories, but I'm very honest. If you're looking for a general ego-boosting "That was good," don't look here; but if you're really loking to improve your story, I'll do everything I can. I own all but the first four Jedi Apprentice books (working on it...), and have access to endless amounts of resource material, so if you need research, I'd be more than happy to help.

Wouldn't it be cool if TheForce.Net in conjunction with LucasBooks ran a competition where the best fan fictions made it into an official "Star Wars Tales" novel...
Limits :
Please no love stories between Ani/Ami or Luke/Mara. I would like to see original stories...They do not neccesarily have to use original chars.
Limits :
I don't like to read romance stories usually, unless it's intertwined into a more action packed type story, and I won't beta lemon/lime, slash, or any of those types.
Comments :
I myself have written stories, and understand the difficulty of it all. I will tell you how to better your story, so don't expect me to go easy on you, but I'll still be nice in how I tell you. lol =P
Preferred Genres :
Adventure; Angst; Drama; Humour; Jedi Philosophy; Jedi Quest; Missing Scene; Political Intrigue; Sith Philosophy; Star Wars Historical

I am very unfamiliar with a lot of the EU material, especially from the vong invasion on. My primary focus and knowledge deals with the eras of the films, and much of the EU history prior to the films.
