A Galaxy of Possibilities

galaxyofpossibilitieslogo2Academic Natacha Guyot has taken on an ambitious project to promote discussion on character writing, diversity and Star Wars fandom that will span across several online platforms. From the opening post for A Galaxy of Possibilities:

Welcome to A Galaxy of Possibilities: Discussing Character Writing, Diversity, Star Wars and Fandom! This series will be posted as a Tuesday weekly feature. It will last thirty six episodes and I hope that many will join the discussion, whether you are an author, a Star Wars fan, and/or someone interested in diversity in cultural and media representations. Storytelling is extremely diversified and belongs to many people, not only the industries but also to the fans and the wide span of authors that range from amateur to professional, or even some hybrid possibilities for one can be a professional in a certain genre and still enjoy fan writing, roleplaying, fan fiction or else, as a hobby.

…

If you are interested in joining the discussion, you will be able to do so via WordPress, Tumblr, Twitter and emails. By making this series a weekly feature, I am leaving room to include follow up posts to a given installment, in case questions or feedback call for them.

Guyot has created a main page for the project. Her first two entries – Satkia Wayne (Jedi) and Lorenza Pyrrin (Jedi) – discuss different elements of character building and the many variables that go into creating compelling characters that are relatable and diverse. The project should be helpful to anyone trying to improve their role playing game or storytelling skills.

I encourage you to check it out.

Up this week Hapan character Lymneira.
