Hello Lakehousers!
Crazy to think, but we’re approaching our 5 year anniversary. It’s been an awesome, wild ride, and to celebrate we are going to put together a newsletter! There are a number of things you can do to contribute- you can do any and all of the following, and if you have any questions or ideas let me know!
Contact Me:
koolkula98@rocketmail.com Share to my google drive:
blackpearlletters@gmail.com If you want to send things to me through TLF or Facebook feel free to do so!
Then and Now-A picture of you from the year yourself joined (or 2010- the year TLF started) and a picture of yourself now
-A description of yourself/your life from the year you joined (or 2010- the year TLF started) and a description of yourself/your life now
You can submit pictures, writing, or both! Please use clear pictures (any size) and keep writing to minimum (you decide what that is)
How You Found TLF-There will be a poll for this (both on the site and on the FB page)
-If you want to write about how you became a member, you’re welcome to do that, too!
-Keep the explanation short and sweet- limit 50 words
How TLF has been a part of your life/ Specific TLF Memory-I know many of us can say that TLF has had an impact on our lives. Maybe it was a big part of our growing up, or a constant in a time of change, or the friends you made back at the beginning are now some of your closest friends.
-This can be as long or as short as you want (well, not novel length, please! xD ). If you have some pictures to include, that’s fine, too!
-Here are some prompts that you can write about
*Joining
*Meeting another Lakehouser
*CVI/CVII
*How TLF impacted you as a person/ helped you grow
-Sometimes a good way to write is to just ramble with no boundaries, and then edit to make it cohesive
Heck you can even write poetry for this I don’t care (if anyone does that would be cool haha)
Conventions and Cosplay-Showcase your costumes, Star Wars or not! Limit 2 cosplays per person
-Was there an experience at a convention that stood out to you? Meeting a favorite actor? Meeting internet friends? A really cool run in with another fan? A spectacular cupcake that changed your life (personal experience from CVII lol)

Star Wars: TFA-How could we do this without talking about The Force Awakens? Excited for it or disappointed in it, this needs to be kept SPOILER FREE, Also, this IS NOT a place to hate on the EU or to hate on TFA
-Write reviews, your general opinion, or just about your excitement of the fact that “OMG there’s a new Star Wars movie!!”
-Limit 3 pictures/1 submission per person, 100 word limit
-I have already seen it, so It’s ok if you accidentally spoil it- i’ll be proofreading it to make sure nothing slips through
