Today we have a special announcement addressed to all those of you who would like to join the VS Core Team and work on the Virtual Sequels project. Read on to learn more!

In the past few months, the VS staff has been hard at work to create a dazzling experience for you the fans. Yet, although our past efforts reaching out to the fans for creative help has been good and helpful, we are in need for a few more committed people. Who among you is ready and able to commit time and energy in helping us finish the first chapter of one of the most ambitious projects TF.N has ever attempted?

We are looking for 3 artists and 1 writer. Many of you over the past year have volunteer your services through PMs, posts and the like. While we appriciate your enthusiasm, we cannot accept unsolicited material or ideas. We need to keep this as close to process as we can. So ? now is your chance to be one of us!

To apply, all you need to do is follow this two-step process:

First, write a cover letter (not longer than 250 words) explaining to us your experience in the area you want to help. Tell us your name and your e-mail address where we can contact you. In your cover letter, tell us why you want to be a part of this project, what you can bring to the table, and tell us all about you. Do not forget to inform us of your other primary life-commitments. This project is a time consuming yet a worthwhile commitment. We need to judge if you have the time to assist us.

Second, we need a couple of samples of your work. It shouldn't be more than 5 drawings for artists and 3 short writing submissions for writers.

All entries are to be e-mailed at virtualsequels@theforce.net. The deadline is December 1, 2003. The winners will be announced at the December 15 update.

Good luck, and may the Force be with you!

And now to this week's actual update. ;-) It concerns a creature that the Skywalkers encounter during their adventures on Townowi. It is a (SPOILERS-- HIGHLIGHT TO READ) huge carnivorous bird called Atoq. ( END SPOILERS)
