Hey Everyone,

Two new fiction competitions:

The Tie That Binds

Specifics: This month's fiction competition focuses on your character's relationship with another individual. Does your character have a mentor, a master, or a sly rogue that has helped you along your way? Does your character have a tormentor, antagonist, or most hated enemy? Does your character have ties that bind them to any one particular individual? Is there one particular individual that has driven you towards your destiny? This is your chance to write about the yin to your yang or even the yin to your yin and help fully flesh out your character's history.

Platform: Fiction. Acceptable formats include word, pdf, google doc, or any word document I can read.

Details: Minimum length 1000 words. Maximum length 20,0000. Fiction will be graded using the DJB Fiction Rubric (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkrPsJ1Xn54cdENjTU9uVFU0eGU4VF9XckF0LXZJWFE&usp=sharing). The event runs from 19 July 2014 until 08 August 2014.

Assassins

Specifics: The Dark Crusade has drawn on for over a year and the Clans and Houses are anxious to secure a quick victory. The Dark Council has promised this victory with one final covert operation. You have been assigned to lead a team of Nephilim (http://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/The_Nephilim) and to assassinate the Sith Lord Esoteric. Multi-source intelligence indicates that Esoteric will be conducting a meeting with ship builders on the planet of Kuat and you are to attempt the assassination there.

But....

Once your team has moved into position you sensors identify the target, but you realize it is not the Sith Lord Esoteric, but a member of your Clan/House (You Pick). You utilize your comm and the unknown officer orders you to complete your mission on the identified target. Your hesitation arouses the suspicion of the Nephilim and you sense more than one of their weapons shifting in your direction. You hear a lightsaber ignite behind you (wait, there is a Force user in this group?).

What do you do? The Dark Council has tasked you to kill a member of your Clan/House and your team is expecting you to complete the mission. Will you remain loyal to the Brotherhood or to your Clan/House?
