Story Contest! (Sep 25 to Oct 25)
The Lyceum Archive would like to introduce it’s second contest. This time the focus will be on fiction.
- Who: Any current or former Star Sonata Player.
- Where: The contest results will be hosted at http://www.lyceumarchives.com/wiki in a new “Fan Fiction” section.
- When: From 09/25/06 to 10/25/06
- Why: Err... why not?
Rules
- The story must be in or about the Star Sonata universe.
- Nothing higher then rated "R" (i.e., any content that you might see at a mainstream movie theater... I have a website TOS to abide by.)
- Illustrations are fine, but won’t figure into the judging.
- No longer then 2000 words (It’s about 3 pages at size 12 font). This rule is more a guideline then a disqualifier… but if you send me something 20 pages long I won’t read it… unless it’s Card/Mccaffrey/Niven quality.
- All entries will be considered to be released under the Gnu Free Document License.
Judging Criteria:
- Originality (uniqueness)
- Readability (ease of reading)
- Interest (does it grab ones attention)
Prize:
- Bragging rights
- A “medal” for your signature or website.
(If you’re interested in sponsoring a credit prize let me know… but I can’t personally do it since accounts won’t be active by the end of the contest.)
Contact: All entries should be sent to contest[at]lyceumarchives[d0t]com. Questions or comments can be sent to the above address, a forum PM or a message on my talk page.
Thanks, ArrowHate 10:16, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Outage
As many have noticed, the wiki was down for a day. Not sure why yet, but it was the fault of my host. Looks like they have it sorted out now, so no worries. I do do regular backups so even if data was lost, it wouldn't have been all of it. Cheers,

The register...
Calypso has stepped up to take over the register with his unique style. Along with his creation of dozens of star-system articles, his contribution to this project is amazing. Thanks Caly!

The fate of the Register...
Unfortunately Takuhi has quit Star Sonata and won't likely be updating The Register. In light of that I'd like to request a volunteer to write occasional articles for us. Basically the goal is to recap current events in Star Sonata. Updates and the reactions to those updates and perhaps other news like new teams, wars, team breakups, etc. It would be a great place for those who can't follow the forum to keep up with whats going on. Drop me a message on my talk page or in game if your interested.

Progress...
A huge amount of progress has been made lately. I'm quite proud of what this site is becoming. Over 184 article, 60 images and 1600+ edits! (stats} I'm quite amazed... but were not done yet. Quite a few permanent Star Systems lack articles and were still in need of many item stats. I know everyone is busy with the coming new uni, but I know we can get some good work done in the meantime. Great job everyone!

The Lyceum Editorials
The much awaited Lyceum Editorials has launched! Dislike something about the game? Want to share that new tactic you learned? Want to share your opinion on particular issue? Then we want you! Check out the new editorial section of The Lyceum Register.

The Lyceum Register
I am proud to present the new launch of The Lyceum Register. Takuhi has volunteered to keep us all up to date on the big Star Sonata news with a semi-weekly update. If you've got your own big news, write an article and post it up. Try to keep it in a news worthy tone however... or it will get edited without mercy. :)
In addition, I've also setup the Lyceum Classifieds. Check out The Register to add your buy/sell request. This is kind of a trial run to see if the system needs any tweeks.
Coming soon: Editorial section

New Images
New charchter and Calypso both responded to a recent call for new images in an exemplary fashion! We now have screenshots for almost all of the star systems. The whole gallery of images can be found here. --ArrowHate 11:25, 10 July 2006 (PDT)

The new design is here. Please let me know what you think on talk:Main Page --Admin 14:07, 3 July 2006 (PDT)
