Whoops, sorry this is a day late. Here's the specifics on the new competition from the Fiction Tribune's office.

Many members of the Brotherhood participate in real-life holiday celebrations at this time of year. It seems only fitting that Dark Jedi

would also have some kind of seasonal affair. The goal of this competition is to describe that holiday.

The format is open writing - it can be as long or as short as you like, and may be in point form, poetry or prose. Give a short description of how the holday started, how long it lasts (a day, a week, two weeks, a month, whatever) where it's celebrated (one world in particular, one star system, among all Dark Jedi), and at least two "rituals" that are observed during that holiday. By "rituals", I don't mean Krathy-type stuff (necessarily), but things that happen for that holiday - people give gifts at Christmas, light the menorah during Hanukah, give candy on Halloween, etc. Pick out or design a couple of "rituals" that fit your holiday.

All submissions should be send to [Log in to view e-mail addresses] with the subject Season's Greetings Competition, and include your ID line and DB PIN. Any submission that is not sent to that address or does not include both the ID line and DB PIN will not be counted in the results. All submissions are due by New Year's Eve, December 31.
