Here's the story: A friend of mine named Jovian wanted to create a space opera story, that all of his friends could participate in. The narrative was inspired by different science fiction series, but namely by Gundam Wing, and Star Wars. It began as a way to just get our creative juices going and practice our writing skills so that we wouldn't get rusty. But it soon flowered into a conglomeration of slightly greater scale, because we took the time to really develop the characters, and became pretty attached to the story and the people in them. Before it could get very far however, the project sort of fell apart. The forum where we were writing the story was scrapped, and so much of the writing was lost, never to be recovered. We also (I'm ashamed to admit) allowed ourselves to get kind of busy, or just really off-track, and so the Echo Star Universe was pushed to the backs of our crazy sticky-note-covered brains.
However, I always kept an interest in the story, and didn't want it to go away. Occasionally, I would try to stay up-to-date with the characters I hadn't written in, and I wanted to pick up the project again.
So finally I created this group, not only so that we could have a nice collection of the artwork my friends and I have done for the story, but also so that we could collect other people's fanart and put it all in the same place. Most importantly, I wanted to make my friends and I work on Echo Star so that it wouldn't melt into a sad little puddle of non-existence. Our plans for it were so cool, that it felt like a waste to me to just drop everything we've done and not develop it more.
So I'm hoping that maybe this group will generate more interest, and a little more hope for this project's survival!
Please note me if you would like to become a member! Or at least leave a comment here if you have a passing interest.

The story includes such characters as:

Raphael:

Kainen:

Cptn Hardstar:

Sparrow:

More to come I am sure! Interestingly, the main character hasn't been posted anywhere yet. I'll get on that. So please join my group, please?! I'm begging you with all my little heart to help me get this off the ground, and if you don't I will drown myself in a bowl of figgy pudding.

MOVIES I HAVE SEEN RECENTLY:

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG: Absolutely gorgeous work Disney. Do some more? Please? PLEASE?

AVATAR 3D: Didn't need to see it in 3D, it was rather distracting. The writing was extremely poor and the main character very unlikeable. HOEWEVER IT WAS SO PRETTY WHO CARES?!
