November 2012 Preview

Lex here with this month’s preview. As Tricia discussed last year, the purpose of the previews is as much to set the blog’s monthly goals as to give readers a peek at the weeks ahead. November is National Novel Writing Month, and Tricia has committed all her writing time to finalizing her novel Wynde. The team of FANgirl contributors and I will do our best to keep the blog rolling while she’s away, and we already have a few things in mind for this month.


Disney, Star Wars, and Episode VII – The biggest Star Wars news in fifteen years broke on October 30, so of course we’ll have more reaction to the news of Lucasfilm’s acquisition by The Walt Disney Company, and maybe also some speculation on what the future holds for the Star Wars brand, the Expanded Universe, and the Sequel Trilogy.


Reviews – With more new Season Five episodes on the way in November, Megan continues her weekly The Clone Wars reviews. Linda reviews of Drew Karpyshyn’s newest EU novel, The Old Republic: Annihilation.


Interviews – Linda also had the opportunity to interview Karpyshyn at Celebration VI, so look for that the week before the review. Mary and Kay are running the show on the Fel Roundtable.
