Brought to you by the Seswennan Social Club, we have another Imperial-themed creative event in honor of May the Fourth, the unofficial Star Wars holiday.

For the May the Fourth week (4 May - 10 May), we will be accepting submissions in the curated AO3 May the Fourth collection for fics or art related to our three prompts:

Please choose at least one prompt as inspiration for your work, and please make sure it focuses on the Imperial officers (Thrawn, Veers, Piett, Motti, Jerjerrod, Needa, Krennic, Pellaeon, etc.) and related Imperial OCs. Remember, we're here for the Imps who serve the Empire, not the Sith.

Any Imp ships are allowed, and all ratings (from G to E) are encouraged.

If you have any questions on content, feel free to shoot me a DM.

Good luck and May the Fourth be with you

"Um, I'm trying to be a burrito here..." 🌯 Follow me for more corgis trying to sleep!

You tagged a lot of my peeps so I am re-tagging @zeldurz @shakespeareaddict @alex-dax @pianopadawan and also flinging this at @retro-hussy and @whenfireanddarknesscollide

Thank you madel for bringing me into this thread! This was so fun to come up with, and had me thinking more than I really have about my own writing. This is by no means an exhaustive list! Just 5 things that popped into my head.

5 Things I Like Writing About

Echoing madel's tags because her mutuals are my mutuals :D @pianopadawan @alex-dax

Thank you for the tags @klarionthewizard, @madelgard and @whenfireanddarknesscollide. I love doing these!

5 Things I Like Writing About

Gently tagging @gamebird, @tsukuyomi42, @shakespeareaddict

i think the reason why the assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the funniest political assassinations is for this very simple reason:

1 guy stabs 1 guy: not funny. that's murder.

2 guys stab 1 guy: even less funny. that's two against one.

60 guys stab 1 guy: uproariously funny. why do you need so many guys.

I am once again drawing shit from my fics

I adore the detail with the wiring and the anatomy of the prosthetic leg!

Yularen's eternal headache: the ISB

The ISB has been quite a handful since its creation, Yularen has to put up with a lot of bs from their agents, specially if it involves Dedra Meero and Clio.

This is my entry for Week 1 of Imperial March 2024, I chose the ISB as my obscure branch of Imperial Military. Thank you everyone on the server for the amazing ideas regarding the ISB's worldbuilding!

Always love to see more ISB content!

Rest in Peace, Michael Culver. Thank you for giving us Captain Needa.

You are forcefully removed from the Executor.

If liked pls reblog, they help loads, thank you!

Love the style you have for Piett!

Here is the info on my OCs from this post:

Very neat! Love some good medical OCs and the variety of fields is really good too!

IMPERIAL MARCH 2024

Brought to you by the Seswenna Social Club, we have a new Imperial March writing challenge for March 2024! Thanks to @zeldurz @klarionthewizard @alex-dax @pianopadawan and @shakespeareaddict for brainstorming these.

Each week of March has an Imperial-themed writing prompt, with fics (or art) due on the first Saturday of that week. Be sure to add your creations to the Imperial March 2024 collection on ao3. The prompts and due dates are:

All characters and ships welcome as long as the focus is on the Star Wars Imperial characters (Thrawn, Pellaeon, Veers, Motti, Jerjerrod, Piett, Needa, etc.). Good luck and happy writing!

Thanks @gracehosborn for the tag!

Rules: post the last seven lines you wrote! Then tag others!

From The Secret Portal Part Two:

Hehehe this makes more sense in context but some may be able to figure it out

From my WIP "Níl Gaelige Agam"

“Happy to help,” I said “Is it okay if I park in your driveway for a few minutes while I do some paperwork?”

“Sure,” said Mr. Andrews.

“Thanks,” I said and headed back to the van before they started asking questions. I fed Meatball and sat down at the table to look at the tracker. He was heading towards Indianapolis. I got in the driver’s seat and made my way to the road out of town. I glanced at the clock on my dashboard I was barely a day in.

no pressure tagging: @cyraniadebergerac @wisteria-whump @anisel44 and anyone else that wants to.

From my WIP "The Bloodhound Detective":

"Then of course with Worldshaper, Kingfisher, or Fendy..."

"I'll again point out that they are our main frontline in any major villain attack and do a lot of heavy lifting. I couldn't take them away from where they are needed most."

"But surely there's somebody that could work out. I know the League isn't that big yet, but still! We have more than a handful of members."

"All of which already play a role. I am not allowing this, trifle, to affect the smooth operation of the League."

"I don't see how you being kidnapped and forcibly brainwashed by Harlequin would not also affect 'the smooth operation of the League." He groaned. "You, my Lady, are the founder and leader of this merry band."

One that can operate perfectly well without me." The Lady looked over the battle below to rise up more grass vines against the Doctor's mech. "I've been making sure Rescuer learns how to use his powers and Raziel can take over being the head of the League while Fendy and Swordswoman can become our full time PR personnel. My role is replaceable."

"Stephanie..." Veritan turned towards her, started to reach a hand to her shoulder, then withdrew it away, joining her in looking over the battlefield.

This tag game is a new one to me! Fun!

Well, the last seven sentences I wrote won't be seeing the light of day for QUITE a while, seeing as there are two whole stories in front of them in the line-up, but I'll post them here anyway. Anyone who cares to will probably be able to figure out some interesting things about the future of A Far, Far Better Thing from this:

No-pressure tags for @musewrangler, @lady-merian, @saxifrage-wreath, @kraytwriter, @hollers-and-holmes, @kanerallels, and @ghosts-and-blue-sweaters.

This isn't quite the last 7 sentences I wrote because of spoilers, but I did write them today.

Gently tagging @lady-merian, @rainintheevening, @hollers-and-holmes (if you have any time, my dear), @musewrangler, and @shannon-foraker

Ok I have been tagged multiple times by @kraytwriter (you menace-affectionate—) and @winterinhimring (I see the cackle) so I’m finally getting around to firing a chunk out at you all.

Ooh this is fun! Thanks @musewrangler! Have some more of the winged!Veers au:

“The lights are horrid,” Thrawn grumbles, massaging at his temples. Veers passes him a hypo of painkillers which he takes with a grateful expression. “Must they be so bright?”

Veers sticks his head further out over the balcony’s edge. He inhales the clean air of Naboo. “What I want to know is why they wear so much karking perfume. And strong. I thought I was going to pass out, I got so dizzy.”

gently tagging @zeldurz, @pianopadawan, @shakespeareaddict, and @chaosgoblinhours

Thank you for the tag @klarionthewizard!

From my Panem AU:

“Yes, you’ve always treated us so well,” Firmus interjected. “Ever since my first time in the Capitol. I would have starved in that arena if not for you.”

For the first time that morning, Tiaan was silent. He looked down at his plate where he’d been slicing an apple tart into tiny slivers.

“You needn’t keep thanking me for that,” Tiaan said after a long pause.

“I know.”

Gently tagging @madelgard and @alex-dax.

More attention for Pershing!

The first experience of drawing chibi in my life, which I was pleased with. This art was drawn while writing my diplom and literally saved my psyche, lol. I was really scared and nervous, and just take a break for a while and drawing something (and loving it!) made me feel better.
