STAR WARS WRITING RESOURCES

Consider donating ( if you can! ) to help keep the site up and running! Also check out W.R. van Hage’s map and the Star Wars Atlas Online Companion. TIMELINE. While hosted on Wookieepedia, this is nevertheless deserving of its own bullet point. This page provides an approximate timeline with dates of all canon material. You can also filter items, so that it displays only TV episodes, for example, or only books, or only movies! Find the Legends timeline here. STAR WARS SLANG AND PHRASES. A collection I’ve been keeping of phases, slang, idioms, insults, and more from the Star Wars universe. This also contains a glossary of frequently used terms, such as “refresher” in place of “restroom”. Please feel free to use/share!
STAR WARS NAME GENERATOR. This is a fun one AND a life saver. You can generate up to 100 Star Wars-sounding names ( first and last! ) with a click.

tips for writing Star Wars fanfic/Star Wars roleplay things
it’s not concrete; it’s duracrete
viewports are the windows on ships
not a plane; ship or speeder
it’s not steel; it’s durasteel
books are rare; holorecords or datapads
it’s not a glass pane it’s transparisteel
caf is the equivalent of coffee
it’s not paper it’s a flimsi
medcenter is a hospital
Star Wars can be very similar to things we’re already used to, but getting familiar with some of these terms can make your writing really fit in with the universe
spam
i am tired of being followed by bots. if you happen to see a bunch of bots following me, it’s because i haven’t reported them yet. my apologies

my best discovery this year: the wayback machine!
amazing. it’s the place where you can save a webpage or a book so that copies can be found online securely, even if the original has been damaged, lost or hidden:
Internet Archive: https://archive.org/
Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org
Save Page Now: https://web.archive.org/save
if you make a free account, you can save all outgoing links on a webpage while saving the original page, plus use the Internet Archive’s library.
observation: emoji
today i watched a fan/meme edit with a dabbing emoji.
a. how have i never seen this before
b. it is glorious
c. i have no other proper way to express my happiness
So, what if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.
Rainbow Rowell (via resqectable)
Love didn’t hurt you. Someone who doesn’t know how to love you hurt you. Don’t confuse the two.
Unknown (via surqrised)
random statement: ads
insurance ads are strange, but they’re also comical.
i don’t laugh when i hear them. i cringe.
random question: SANDWICHES
how many people out there have tried or tried and liked sandwiches with cream cheese and jelly?
is it just me?
EXACTLY
Write for yourself. No, this approach is not selfish. Write for yourself because you need to fall in love with your story. You will have to edit this thing, you will have to rewrite some parts, you will have to work on it. If you don’t like it, you won’t find enough motivation to finish it. Don’t write for the market, write for yourself.
RESULT:
steph on me brown
<333
let's see... you sleep in a bunch. a lot of people like you, but your true friends are few and far between. you tend to assume the worst of others, and second-guess yourself constantly. you can be a little shit sometimes, and your true friends know you're a gremlin at heart.
have a little quiz. get roasted by a stranger on the internet.
