I still can't upload anything to the server, so no updates still :( I'm really sorry, guys, for this break. I know it's annoying and trust me, I don't like it anymore than you do! I've emailed my host again to see what's up so hopefully I'll know something soon! In the meantime, please be patient. I'm thinking up something fun that doesn't require uploading files, so check back in a few days.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

Stephanie! Her gorgeous winter-themed banner received the most votes and will be added to the top of the site for winter (once my computer issues are fixed, that is!) Congratulations, Stephanie! Your banner is just wonderful and I'm very excited to use it!

The second place winner was the fabulous Clone Wars banner by Marie Claude. And there was a tie for third place! Marie Therese with her Picnic banner and Mabe with her stunning blue and white banner share third place honors! Congratulations to you three for your wonderful achievements!!

And of course, a huge thank to EVERYONE who submitted an entry. The entries were all very high-quality and you should all be proud of you work. I hope you all had fun with the contest; I really appreciate everyone's support, comments, votes, etc.

In case anyone is wondering, here's how the winners were determined. You all had the opportunity to choose a first, second, and third place entry. A first place vote was worth 5 points, second place was 3 points, and third place was 1 point. I then calculated the totals, and the banner with the most points was Stephanie's and received first, Marie Claude's got the second most, and Mabe and Marie Therese's tied for third. It's the way they determine awards like MVP and such in sports. And with my love of baseball, that's how I decided to do it.

So that brings to conclusion Fit for a Queen's first contest. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations, Stephanie! I will get your banner up as soon as possible!

Well hello again. Apologies for no updates this past week - I had an insanely busy week at work. I'm sure you all understand! And actually, I can't update right now. I'm having problems with my hosting company and I can't upload files. This is a recurring problem and has happened a few times before you might remember. I'm talking to my host about it and it should be resolved shortly. So hang tight - I have an update all ready to go once I am able to upload it!

In the meantime, today is the last day of voting for the contest! So get your votes in if you haven't done so. I will be announcing the winner on Tuesday (and hopefully I'll be able to upload the winning banner to the site then too).

I'm chipping away at the remaining pictures for the Han and Anakin pages I added the other day. For tonight, I've added the behind the scenes pictures for Anakin. There are about a million or so, so here are some of the best:

Staring, Fighting with Obi, Staring again, with Obi again, Ewan being cute, Crispy!

There are tons more too, so go check them out!

And just as a reminder, next Sunday voting for the Banner Contest closes, so vote now if you haven't yet! More Han and more fan costumes coming soon!

This is a new section to the site and one I've been meaning to add for a while now: Fan Costumes! The movies have inspired so many beautiful fan-made costumes and I think a site based on costumes is a great place to showcase the talent of Star Wars fans! It's kind of empty right now, so email me pictures of your Star Wars costume! A huge thanks to Shannon for letting me use her beautiful costume to kick start the section!

All right, kids, here is the character I did especially for all you crazy fangirls out there:

Ep. III Anakin Skywalker

I only have promotional photos, concept art, and detail shots up right now - screenshots, behind the scenes, and costume information will follow soon. But there are about a million promotional photos, so enjoy! I think I did quite a nice job, if I do say so myself. Try not to drool too much, girls! (Bonus gift: scroll down)

And while I know tons of you guys love Hayden Christensen, I've always been more of an old-school girl myself. Therefore, here is the character I did for myself:

Ep. IV Han Solo

That's where it's at, girls. Much better than Hayden ;) Again, I only had time for promotional photos and concept art, but the rest will be coming soon.

Also, thanks so much to everyone who has already voted in the Banner Contest!

The time has come to vote for the banner that will be Star Wars: Fit for a Queen's winter header! Thanks to all the talented artists out there, we had 42 wonderful entries, and it's going to be hard for you all to vote I'm sure! I wanted to sincerely thank everyone who submitted an entry - the contest has turned out better than I could have hoped, so THANK YOU! Now, go vote!

And here are the last few entries that I hadn't posted before:
Colorless.Imagination (Paxnea), Colorless.Imagination (Paxnea) 2
Tenae
The King of Naboo

Thanks, you three! And I hadn't even realized it was November really, but thankfully the wonderful Annarwaya and Marie Therese both did and sent in their gorgeous November calendars: Annarwaya, Marie Therese. Many thanks to them! And I am working on two new characters as I mentioned before, but they are taking FOREVER. But what I'm going to do is post what I have done so far on Tuesday. I think you guys will be excited! Okay, now go vote!
