Storyblogging... who needs it?
Via La Shawn Barber's Corner, this introduction to storyblogging by Donald Crankshaw.
Of course, this trope is familiar to those of us on Usenet's rec.arts.sf.starwars.misc, thanks to our sequence of horribly destructive Sith Wars.
These consensual, community-written spectacles of wit, warmth, and learning from each other began innocently enough, as an exchange of insults between two RASSMers. They have (d)evolved into galaxy-shattering epics of raw, intense stupidity. By some counts, there have been as many as twelve of them; personally, I only remember about three, though apparently I've been involved in five. My particular favorite was Sith War XII, aka the "Sith Bore," which ended just under a year ago. Read it in all its brilliance (it has the two Sith War posts of mine that I'm proudest of) at Rainbow Heron's Sith War archive site.
Sith Wars have taken on such a life of their own that one of RASSM's many highly-talented people, Chris Layne, is developing an animated version of them. See what he's got so far at his Sith War Adventures site.
The world trembles in anticipation of the next Sith War... though when it will come, and how our devastated psyches will handle it, no one can know.
