Another generally slow week, but I hope that's because you've all been busy preparing entries

for the Great Jedi War... isn't that so? You better have been.

Entries for the Fiction events are only 1 and 2 pages for Gather and Incursion respectively,

and that's so easy that both can be done within an hour, tops. But as for some tricks to make

them longer... <p> -Double-space your entries

-Right short paragraphs so that they take up more space

-Add words and sentences so that a sentence that initially covered half a line will break into

the next line and take up more space

-If the last line in a paragraph is almost touching the edge of the page, add a few words so

that it'll take up another line<p> Simple, yet effective. If even then you can't meet the minimum requirements, length only

counts for 5% of scoring, so submit what you have so far, even if the story isn't done. The

stories can be completely horrible, whatever, but if you do both, we'll get 12 points!

And, if you want to, you can just switch around a couple of the things in one of the stories

and submit it for the other one. <p> As for graphics, open paint, add a couple of stick figures, put little squares in their hands

with a colored line coming from it (lightsabers) and voila! you've got your entry. Submitting

that and your fiction, you earn the Clan, 18 points!<p> Then there's poetry (Vitriol). Simple, in fact very easily done. Write a few stanzas of

something along the lines of: <p> [Insert Clan other than Arcona here] sucks.

They should die.

Boo [Clan]!<p> Repeat a couple of times with slight variation. That's 3 more points, so if you do all of

these things you have a guaranteed chance of earning the Clan 21 points! If everyone in

House Ektrosis were to do these things, the Clan would earn, ** at least**, **504

points!** Now, we were tied with Arcona last chapter and I imagine that scores will be

similar. Do you want to be the one that doesn't break that tie and put us in first place? Do

you want to be the only one not to submit to all four entries?<p>

So throw away the perfectionism, get writing and drawing, now! The Chapter ends on Friday and

we have work to do, so get out there and submit, submit, submit!<p>

As for myself? I've already composed a few stanzas to my poetry entry, have worked on both of

my fiction entries, am just about to submit my graphic, am fighting two matches in the ACC and

have played several JA matches!<p> NOW I'M DONE SO GO SUBMIT!!!<p> [GJW Standing Orders (aka,

stuff to do right now!)](http://gjw.darkjedibrotherhood.com/chaptertwoOrders.asp)<p> -DS <p> Oh and by the way, I enjoyed my vacation too Belzy. :P<p> One last thing, Ekky Margana is over since no one submitted this week, but I will be giving

the random quartz crescent to someobody. Don't worry, if you enjoy anagrams, Combat Master

Alaric will be running anagram halls soon.</p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>
