Introducing a Writer's Network for Clone Fics!

Welcome to the 501st Archives! This is a new project for SFW writing about the Star Wars clones, aiming to create a space for writers in the fandom to connect and support one another as well as increase reader engagement! Coming to Tumblr with monthly events and highlight masterlists to promote and inspire creators!

Our FAQ's!

Below you can find a short overview of what this network is, what this space will provide and how to support us!

What is a writer network?

Writer networks exist on Tumblr across a whole bunch of different fandoms and now the Clone Community has one too! Think of them as a mixture of online community, promo page and group project! Ultimately, if a network works well, it will create a space where writers in a fandom can find new mutuals and friends, support each other's works and gain more readers. They also have an assortment of works from different writers on the network blog, so that readers can browse works in one space more easily! Of course every network works a little differently but that's the general aim of them.

So how will this one work?

Basically, as all writer networks, it will have a set list of members. If you've been accepted as a member and you post a work that fits our Post Guidelines, tag it with #the501starchives. Our moderators will regularly reblog the works in the network tag to this blog. We will also post bimonthly Highlight Masterlists to give our writer's works more exposure; as well as run monthly events centered around different themes! Writers and Readers alike who follow this blog or browse it will therefore find a broad selection of works from different blogs!

What inspired this project?

Honestly, compared to other fandoms I've been in, the engagement with written works across the board could be significantly better; but especially SFW works tend to get even less notes on here. I did however do an interest check for clone fluff as well as a SFW writing project and there were plenty of responses, so the audience and creators are there! Maybe we just need to connect them with one another! ^°^

What kinds of works will be part of this network?

Almost anything SFW about any of the Star Wars clones; be it reader-inserts, headcanons, genfic, multi-chapter works, character x character (f.e. Codywan), OC fics, AU's, angst, fluff etc. The only exceptions are cloneshipping, romanticized abuse or minor x adult ships (f.e. Rexsoka). We also accept works that are a little suggestive, as long as they're labeled as such! Works have to be posted on Tumblr though, we will not reblog / feature links to Ao3 or other sites.

I also write NSFW, can I still join this?

If you have at least one SFW work on your blog and are willing to make more, of course! Your NSFW works will not be featured on our blog and you shouldn't tag them with the network tag though!

How will the Events work?

Every month, we will post an Event Theme; usually something broad like "79s" or "On the Beach" that can encompass a broad variety of genres and stories. You can either submit an older work that fits the theme or write something for it. You can submit multiple fics for one theme. At the end of the month, we'll post an Event Masterlist with all the works submitted for the theme :)

What are the Highlight Masterlists?

They're bimonthly masterlists with links to written works that we basically throw in the tags to give our writers some extra exposure. One of them will always be themed around a character and the other one is just a general one where you can submit a work that you wish had gotten some more exposure or one you've especially liked! There'll also be the Featured Works section, which is basically a permanent collection of Highlights from our writers. Upon joining the network, every writer can submit up to 3 of their works for this one. The Featured Works section is essentially our poster example for what can be found on this blog.

Is there a quota I have to meet as a member?

Absolutely not. Write however much you feel comfortable, participate in whatever you want to and take breaks whenever you need!

When does this place launch?

2nd of September if all goes well. Otherwise, expect about a week's delay.

Currently accepting Mod applications for people willing to take turns reblogging stuff onto this blog and making masterlists with me! Preferably someone who already has written quite a few things, has experience running fandom projects or is pretty active as a writer.

We're looking forward to growing as a community with you!
