Why are you here?

Mandalorians have two awesome things: A culture were it doesn't matter who you are, what species you are, you just need to accept the Mandalorian code.

And of course, that awesome armors!

Things we can judge you for:

My impatience. Really, I can be very impatient sometimes.

Welcome, Yukub!

We've been a quiet bunch lately, but we hope you find lots of information and maybe a lurker or two who will come out of hiding for a bit and start the ball rolling around here again.

I'm a huge fan of the Mandalorians as well as Jango and Boba Fett. I also enjoy reading up on Mandalorian culture especially their history.

Not sure, I write FanFics but none about Mandalorians yet.

Welcome, Yukub and Meg'ika! Maybe the new year will get the board busy again.

Welcome, MandoMegika!

Like Vio'Fais said, I hope we are able to get the board busy again.

We've really been quiet lately. Most of our "regulars" have been busy with school and life in general, but if you have any questions, I'm certain someone will be able to take a few minutes to pop on and help.

Take care.

Name:
I go by "Rabbit", pretty much anywhere (online OR in real life). Guess I'll stick with that here, too.

Age:
On the down-side of 20...

Location:
Florida

Occupation:
Psychology student. No, I can't read your mind. But, yes, I psychoanalyze for free. For now.

Hobbies:
Writing. Reading. Procrastinating. Pets. Avoiding homework (oh, wait...I guess that falls under "procastinating", huh...)

Why are you here?
I need something to fill the gaps of my life, apparently. LOL I haven't written in years and then I discovered the awesomeness of Karen Traviss and the RepCom books... Aaaaand my plot bunnies returned with a fury and a voracious hunger that must be appeased at all costs (or my husband will clearly suffer). I'm here because...well...it looks fun. And my life is sadly lacking in other Fandalorians, so my need for social interaction has lead me here. Alas. LOL

Things we can judge you for:
My (mostly) clone-centric fanfiction. Though, a literary attempt on the Cuy'val Dar is looming on the horizon...

Hey rabbit.writer!!

Fancy meeting you here. Glad you've come aboard. I hate saying this to every new "face," but we truly have been a quiet bunch lately. I'm hoping this site can get some conversations going soon, but many of the members are overwhelmed with studies and such so patience remains a virtue.

Take care!
Ms.MaraJade

Well...maybe I can help stir things up a bit around here. Maybe. LOL It's a beautifully laid-out site...I'd hate to see it go to waste!

You can thank our "Mand'alor" Daennika for the site and for maintaining it. She's done a fantastic job creating her own Mando community.

If you'd like to stir things up a bit, I doubt anyone would object. We've been trying to get the forums shaking again and maybe a fresh perspective could do that.

Glad to meet you, Rabbit! Breathing some life back into here sounds like a brilliant idea.

Whereabouts in Florida are you from, Rabbit? Just curious as a fellow Floridian. You don't have to be specific or even answer at all if you'd rather not, of course.

I sent ya' a PM. Thanks for askin', actually. Nice to know I'm not the only Floridian - the Star Wars community is rather non-existent from where I'm sitting (that I know of, at least). Most everyone's down south. *grumbles*

I think there are a few others on this board as well, but probably closer to me iirc. Replied to your PM. (:

Name:
Jana, in real life
Elinor, in the internet and between friends


Age
twenty-something


Location
Brno (Czech Republic)


Occupation
- student (foreign trade)
- reviewer and beginning journalist


Hobbies:
- writing and reading
- history, psychology, social sciences
- StarWars
- fence, airsoft
- camping


Why are you here?

Ye, I´m typical example of „never make a pass at a Mando´ad of either sex unless you intend to offer marriage and became a Mando.“ A year ago I started dating with friend – we both have been StarWars fans, he interested in Mandalorians, I was interested in Jedi Order.
Few months after we were berothed and I was extremely interested in mandalorian culture and their point of view of life. xD

So I´m here due to my interest in Mandalorians. And because of I want to spread my knowledge about them.


Things we can judge you for:

First of all: after deeds and words.
But that´s difficult when I´m introducing myself.

So... ye, I´m someone who want to know more about Mandos and meet neew people who are interested in them too.

And I started with creating czech webside about Mandalorians (now in phase „we have a web and the true work can begin“) and czech-mando textbook – both projects are at the beginning but I hope I will have enough time to make progress quickly.
I´m writing fanfics (who doesn´t? ) – but of course in Czech and my English isn´t so good to translate short stories from Czech to English. Maybe it will change.

Greetings from France, Elinor! I'm happy that you joined us and came forward with your love for Star Wars, and especially Mando'ade. Don't worry about your English, I understood everything you said and I'm looking forward to see you post often here

It's a quiet place for now, but we're a handful of regular friends to always check in now and then.

Welcome!

Welcome, Elinor!!

Looking forward to seeing you around the boards. The rest of the regulars will make their appearances when time allows. Most of them are pretty involved with real life.

Take care!

Who is not?
Today begins third week of writing my article about mandalorian religion. Quiet funny, but real life... is real life, with school, part time job and "writing serious things" (e.g. reviews).

3 weeks to write an article about mando religion? Impressive... I personally would pull my hair out because the sources for that specific aspect of the mando culture are really thin. You should probably ask Karen Traviss directly about this, here's her email address: mail@karentraviss.com

Better is "not enough time".
Writing detailed (intimate/in-depth) articles IS commonly long way - but not sooooo long.

Ye, they´re.
And Mandos were not... typical believers, what I know, their religion concept was in their society commonly accepted... relatively short time (I mean "true believe" in war between Arasuum and Kad Ha'rangir - not concept of re-interpretation of Akaanati'kar'oya as parables of real life).
But... religion is not only holy literature and believing in some gods/God.
It´s about seeing world and its rules, too. And... ye, that´s funny, but I understand few important parts of Manda culture during preparation for this article. (e.g. their concept of creativity as a part of rising during conflict)

Wow, thanks!
I´ve many, many questions and many hypothesis...

Right, just make sure to keep it simple. She does check her emails and tries to reply to everyone, so you need to be precise in your questions or she might not give you the answers that you're hoping to get.

Occupation:

Why are you here?
Mandos are freakin awesome! Duh.

Things we can judge you for:
Uhhh I haven't done anything yet worthy of being judged but feel free to judge anything I do.


Also, I don't actually know Mando'a as much or as little as it may appear I do.

Welcome Maxwell!

Things have grown quiet around here due to real life, but we still pop on often enough to not be considered entirely dormant.

Hope you have fun!

Take care.

Name: Renée (my Mando OC's name is Serrah)

Age:
Younger than I look, though I feel older than I am^^

Location:
Southern US (an area where people would call us all rednecks)

Occupation:
...Nothing really, except the occasional baby/petsitting and unpaid stuffs at a warehouse with LOTS of heavy machinery in it.

Hobbies:
Reading, fishing (preferably at night), drawing, watching Hetalia, reading manga, and reading all the Traviss books

Why are you here?
I LOVE all the Traviss books. Plus, I think the Mando'ade culture and language is pretty cool (I use the odd and end word at least once every sentence). Plus, the armor looks totallly kick-butt, and there are some fellow Mando'ade that are really nice and have come to be my friends. Eh....and I'm also not the most social person in the world in real life.

Things we can judge you for:
My art, deviantArt accounts, a Fanfiction.net account (it's empty until I upload one), and my not-yet-finished armor.

Hey Serrah and welcome! I'm very much interested in your deviantart and fanfiction pages. I hope it's okay if we connect through those sites? This board is full of interesting stuff but sadly it doesn't have much activity like in its early days.

Fanfiction: ecanerdygirl

deviantArt: mynameisstarwars

Yeah...not really a stranger to some people on here after this^^
