Star Wars Fanon:Quote of the Week

The Quote of the Week is a quote that remains on the Star Wars Fanon main page for a total of seven days, from Sunday at 12:00am Eastern Standard Time to Saturday at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time, that has been chosen by the membership as a quote that represents the best that Star Wars Fanon has to offer. A good candidate should be compelling, engaging, well articulated and tell an interesting story by itself to encourage users to read more from where it came, whether that is an article or a fan fiction story.

There is a simple process that quote candidates must go through in order to be selected as a Quote of the Week. That process is as follows:


 * 1) All users may nominate a quote from any article, although only users who meet the requirements of the Voting Policy may vote.
 * 2) Voting will carry on every week and successful nominations will be placed onto the list of upcoming quotes.
 * 3) Winning quotes will be determined by the community. Once a quote reaches five (5) net votes, which is determined after adding the support and opposition votes, it will be added into the queue.
 * 4) Quotes may not contain profanity that exceeds a PG-13 rating.
 * 5) Users may use any reason they desire to oppose a nomination, such as “I don’t like the quote” or “it’s too unbelievable” or “the quote is too long”. All reasons are acceptable so long as civility is kept in check.

When nominating an article, there is a simple form that should be used in order to maintain a sense of order on the nominations track. It is as follows:


 * ===Speaker’s Name===
 * ====Quote====
 * ====Support====
 * ====Oppose====
 * ====Neutral/comments====

Nominations will remain on the nominating track until they become successful, until the author pulls the nomination or until it reaches a consensus of opposition. If it is successful, aside from being added to the list of upcoming quotes it will also be added to the list of successful quotes.

"I've been accused of being many things in my long life, Ichi Go: Both pessimistic and optimistic, turning both dark and light, acting both foolhardy and sage, but being a cryptic Force ghost is not one of those. I'm actually a pretty straightforward guy...once you get past those pesky paradoxes."

Are you just making this stuff up or is it actually in your articles? The only reason I ask is because you're linking to canon articles rather than fanon ones. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 20:53, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
