Star Wars Fanon is the Star Wars wiki of fan invention, a free online repository where anyone can share their fan creations and make their mark on the legendary "galaxy far, far away." The wiki has close to 25,000 articles, making it the largest fan fiction wiki and the 18th largest Wikia wiki overall. With new users adding their fan fiction every day, Star Wars Fanon has been at the forefront of fan fiction on Wikia since the wiki was founded in 2005, with contributions from thousands of creative Star Wars fans.

We have many decorated works of fiction; we’ve promoted nearly 100 good articles, over 75 featured articles, and 10 featured works&mdash;the latter is a feature unique to Star Wars Fanon, as it showcases and honors narrative works of fiction as opposed to fanon articles. More of these great works are nominated for these statuses all the time!

In addition to regular article nominations and promotions, we also hold an annual article awards ceremony where users vote on their favorite articles, as well as short story contests every few months. An image contest is also currently being developed for artistic users.

Users often work on their own personal fanon, but many work together; users can come together in FanonProjects&mdash;such as Project Cruentus&mdash;or they work together to develop their own series&mdash;like the authors of the Alternative Star Wars Saga.

Star Wars Fanon continues to grow and evolve all the time. There is no better place for aspiring writers, or creative fans who want to develop their writing skills as a hobby!
