May The Fourth Be With You
On STAR WARS Day: In honor of the iconic space opera, I challenge all Ficleteers to *write an original Sci-fi Adventure Story*. The Star Wars saga not only generated great _sequels_ but also the most notable of _prequels_. Thus, I think it only fitting to make an Episode IV of sorts your starting point. Give us action from the get-go! Let the Ficly community continue it and write the back-story. Let's have fun! Although I do love it so, I’m not looking for Fan Fiction. What I want is a story that will *make George Lucas jealous*! _“May the fourth be with you, always."_ – Or until May thirty-first, cause that’s the deadline. – []o)
