A very special update from Star Wars and Beyond and StarWarsFanworks.
The 2007 Fan Audio Awards have been released!
Robbie and Bryan Patrick Stoyle host the awards this year, and just like last year, do a tremendous job. These awards are of course for excellence in the area of Star Wars Fan Audio. Visit
starwarsandbeyond.com for the show
Ever curious what happened to Chris Hanel and Fig Chrystie? Those guys were such heavy hitters in the fanfilm community. Well, PlanetFandom has tracked them down, and they have their own show!
Geekza "generally centers around things that interest us, and those tend to be geeky things related to the world of filmmaking, movie trivia, our own existence in the special effects community and gaming. "
They currently produce the show via a new service called Talkshoe, which allows live chat and call-ins. They've been releasing one audio episode a week, with a video ep each month. They've various fanfilm stars (Trey Stokes, Ryan Weiber and Micheal "Dorkman" Scott) as well as industry luminaries as Brian Finifter, Chris Gore, and Lee Stringer to name but a few. Great talk with old friends at Geekza.com
From the official production blog of Pink Five:
"But the top story this week is that Allegiance, the new Star Wars novel by Timothy Zahn, goes on sale tomorrow.
Way, way back at Celebration III, longtime friend-of-Pink-Five John Hudgens introduced me to Timothy Zahn, because John knew that Timothy was a Pink Five fan.
Which made a kind of sense... EU writers do the same thing fanfilm makers do, after all - we poke around the edges of the established SW universe, hunting for stories that haven't been told before.
It turned out Zahn was indeed a Pink Five fan, and during our conversation he said (in a mock-conspiratorial whisper) "I'm going to put Stacey into my next novel, if I can get away with it."
Timothy Zahn has been a fan to Star Wars fans for quite some time, even making the 501st Stormtrooper Garrison (fan community that dons the armor and cloaks of SW villains for charity) Canon by including them in his novels Survivor's Quest and Fool's Bargain.
