About the Author
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God"

- Matthew 5:7-9

Atarumaster88 is the author of the award-winning Force Exile series on the Star Wars Fanon wiki. An avowed Star Wars fan from his youth, Atarumaster88 first started his wiki career on Wookieepedia in the summer of 2006 and became an administrator and an established writer there. However, he also began writing the first draft of what is now the Force Exile series during that time. Thankfully, that's deleted and purged from the archives now, except for Ataru's copy. Ataru is 18<x<100 years old. A significant detail about Ataru is his Christian faith and he seeks to have that displayed in his writing and actions even online. However, despite his belief in the inherent superiority and voracity of his faiths, he will respect the beliefs of others, as he seeks to get along with all members of the SWF community. Ataru currently resides on Earth and lives with people.

And for kicks and giggles: Mary Sues and why we hate them.

Name
My name: You can call me Ataru or even AM88.

Star Wars Fanon
Atarumaster88's first and primary wiki is and will remain Wookieepedia, and Star Wars Fanon and its proceedings are of secondary interest to him. He is here to write the Force Exile series and hopes that you enjoy it. Feedback on any and all Force Exile works is appreciated, and Atarumaster88 is certainly willing to read and review other narratives, providing input, opinion, grammar nitpicking, and apostrophe corrections as needed.


 * Caveat: Do NOT ask me to read a crossover unless you want a less-favorable-response. I don't mind some level of borrowed elements, but if you ask me to read about Spider-Man, Master Chief, or Beowulf in Star Wars, I'm going to ask you to go find some creativity lessons.

Force Exile
Force Exile is a series of novels written set in the Star Wars universe, starting circa 19 BBY with Force Exile I: Fugitive and the primary contribution of Atarumaster88 to SWF. So far, two sequels are confirmed in the form of Force Exile II: Smuggler and Force Exile III: Liberator. The cover art for Force Exile works is currently provided by Solus. They are some of the longest combined works on the Star Wars Fanon wiki as of this writing. Despite the previous statement, Force Exile is not so much just a group of books, but an entire project spanning a wide range of topics and subjects. Atarumaster88 will release information about upcoming works as he sees fit.

For any readers, feedback on any Force Exile work is greatly appreciated. Just leave me a comment on my talk page or on one of the talk pages for my articles. It'd be really sweet if Force Exile was canonized, but that'll happen about the time George Lucas gives me Leland Chee's job. I hope you read and enjoy my work- but regardless, I like feedback.

Ataru's writing conventions

 * 1) Nothing is ever perfectly written, but strive for excellence.
 * 2) Never write a Mary Sue. Ever.
 * 3) Uphold the 7 pillars of Details, Dialogue, Development, Description, Decency, Characters, and Believability in all writing.
 * 4) Seek to tell a good story, not a social/political commentary.
 * 5) Let your work flow with existing official canon, not disrupt, rewrite, or violate it.
 * 6) Overt sexuality, extreme violence, foul profanity, and dark hedonism have no place in my work.
 * 7) Evil will never be ultimately rewarded.
 * 8) Never write anything for the sake of popularity or awards. Write what you want because you want to.
 * 9) All full-length novels should start on an Imperial or Republic ship, per the example of George Lucas and Timothy Zahn.
 * 10) Proof-read everything. After that, proof-read it again and have someone else read it if you can manage that.
 * 11) A good Star Wars tale has these elements: action, romance, suspense, comedy, symbolism, and thematic elements, in addition to being a page-turner.
 * 12) A good Star Wars author never gives himself more than a dozen general rules.

Disclaimers

 * Force Exile, nor any work of Atarumaster88, nor Atarumaster88 himself are in no way suggested to be affiliated with Lucasfilm, Ltd. Star Wars and all related terms are copyrighted by Lucasfilm, Ltd. and Atarumaster88 in no way seeks to infringe upon those rights. As far as I'm aware, the term "Force Exile" originated on Wikia with this user, and anyone else using the term as a proper noun or claiming credit for Force Exile works is lying.
 * This author's work contains sci-fi action violence, some of it graphic, mild sexual innuendo, and mild profanity. If you are easily offended or sensitive to such things, you are advised to not read it.
 * This author's work also seeks to not conflict with established canon, however silly it may be.'''
 * This author has a very dedicated and very detailed plan for all of his work, its plot, its subplots, its characters. This author is also going to release his work at his own pace, so don't push him or urge him to change the plot drastically, as it's a waste of time.
