Hey gang, here's the eagerly awaited topic for the September MTs.

Everyone in the DB has a point in their history where they decided (or were forced) to become a Dark Jedi. But what if that event hadn't happened? This month's MT is called "Alternate Lives", and your goal will be to describe what your character would be doing today if they hadn't become a Dark Jedi.

All three categories will be working on the same topic, so let your minds roam. The categories will be the usual ones: fiction (short story, but a minimum of 1.5 pages at 12-pt Arial or TNR), poetry (freestyle) and graphics (at a maximum size of 640x480). Note that the poetry length is different than the official event description - the one-page limit doesn't apply there.

As usual, all submissions should be sent to dbfictiontribune [at] gmail [dot] com by September 30. Don't send anything to my personal e-mail, or it won't be counted.

Official competition page can be found here.

Good luck to all!
