Writing Journals and Reading Bedtime Stories

by Colony9Girlie

It's a requirement for all Padawans to keep a journal of their training. When Obi-Wan introduces this to Anakin, he is not happy about it. But it's not for the reason that Obi-Wan thinks. All the other Padawans know how to read and write, having been trained in the temple from a very young age, but Anakin's past is darker, and there wasn't time for letters or stories. (Anakin can't read and Obi-Wan takes like four chapters to find out) Also there's lots of star wars versions of aesop's fables in here! :)

alphabet wars

by oonaseckar

There are no Hunger Games to funnel and control dissent and disorder, between the Districts and the Capitol. There are the Alphabet Wars -- the nickname for the yearly InterDistrict Spelling Bee that grips the nation. Where each District's chosen 'tribute' fights: fights with words, with letters, with literacy. With the beauty of language, the power of the written word. To the death.
