Hail,

For several years, this has been the most advanced course the Shadow Academy offers, and this year we're offering it yet again. This summer, the Writing Course will be ran by yours truly, as Oberst is tied up with real life Obligations. As Headmaster, and one of the 4 who have passed this course, I'm more than qualified to run it.

The skinny: This is a 10 week course, dedicated to the fundamentals, analysis, and development of writing. This year, we're making it a little bit more Star Wars orientated. Applications are now open, and I'm not putting a limit on how many people I'll be accepting into the program. However, surviving the course and not dropping out after 1st week is completely up to you.

Reading list: The full list will be provided to you once the course starts, however I will tell you to go download Lost Tribe of the Sith before hand, and familiarize yourself with it. Every piece of literature you'll be working with will be available for free on the internet.

Applications should include a brief summary of your writing skills, and a sample of your writing. I would prefer this to be something you've written for the DB. Have all applications to myself by Saturday, July 10th. The course begins the following Monday. Good luck to everyone.

_His Excellency,

Taigikori Aybara Dupar

Headmaster of the Brotherhood_
