Hey, you. Yeah you, dang kids. Sit down and read this. Lazy bums, always poking away at your wise phones with your big screens and your internet pictures. When I was your age, television was called books…

What was I talking about? Oh, right. You, here. Read this. Use your brain, it makes its own pictures. You can read, can't you? Bah. Kids these days. Busy, busy, busy, can't find no time to just stop and read a bit…

HEEEEEEELLO LOVELIES OF ARCONA AND ODAN-URR.

But First, a Message from Our Sponsors

This is friendly reminder that there are not one but two fantastic, club-wide events open for sign-ups. The ACC Coach’s Corner is accepting sign-ups through May 21. The is a great opportunity for new or otherwise inexperienced members to try out the ACC with the loving support of an experienced ACCer.

For those of you who are illiterate or otherwise hate Krathy things, Jedi Academy is returning to the Brotherhood Gaming League. You can read all about Round 2 and sign up here. You’ve got all of May, but maybe don’t procrastinate? Do as I say, children, not as I do.

Is This a Kissing Story?

It's been a long time coming, and we thank you for your patience in this. Life really kicks you in the kidneys sometimes. Good thing we have a Star Wars club to escape to. And speaking of, here it is, the epilogue to our joint event, the cherry on top of the sundae that is our three-year-anniversary quote-along cooperative bash!

You might have stopped caring over the wait, or never cared much in the first place, but give it a skim, if nothing else, folks! We've got some fun fiction here, lots of drama, sass, and us going face to face with a heretofore little-seen branch of the Collective, Capital Enterprises.

Or, for those not fond of Discourse, see the PDF version here.

And, for those of you with little time, here's a TL;DR:

• It's a kissing story. Ew.
• (Not really though).

Pictured: you guys reacting to this summary.

That said, Arch and Atty want to give a last shout-out to our summits for their encouragement in running this and generally being awesome, and our members for more of the same, but with extra awesomeness! A hurrah to those of you who crushed participation here! Grot and Kordath both got full participation, followed closely by Maaz, Rulvak, and Mauro at eleven of twelve, and Qyreia, Tisto, Aura, Celevon, and Janus, who all did a majority of events. Well done, guys! Several of you got featured in the closing fiction, and we did our best to incorporate elements of all the submitted co-op fictions in as well!
