Behind the scenes

Failure at Cerea was written by Josh Bender from December 21 to December 22, 2007. The story was written to introduce the character of Aurea Hali to Josh and friend's Star Wars Roleplaying Game, Death Watch Revival. In March 2009, Josh attempted to remake the story but stopped after writing two pages. On October 8, while on #swfanon on IRC, Josh uncovered the original story and decided to rewrite it for the Fall 2009 short story contest that was going on. A week before release, Josh sought help from friends and family and finished on November 14, 2009.

On April 7, 2011, Josh cut the story from his fanon.
