| abstract | - As it wasn’t really official, the newsletter was named the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Fanon Newsletter, abbreviated to CUSWFN, a newsletter that would be led by Darth tader with community involvement. Darth tader, who had known another Supreme Chancellor, C3PO the Dragon Slayer, for some time, decided that the newsletter would remain unofficial so that it didn’t violate the clan policy, something Darth tader seemed to have misunderstood the full meaning of, as official organizations weren’t affected by such things. Originally, the layout was based upon that of the Oracle Newsletter, with minor changes in name and such being made, although the color and general layout remained the same. A test template was designed, and sent to people such as Wayne “CurrentBigThing” Lipman III and Victor “Squishy Vic” Dorantes, to ask them their opinion on the layout, appearance, writing style and general presentation of the newsletter. After the feedback was positive, Tader set about making the newsletter proper, making a page for CUSWFN, a user subpage of his own userpage. A was created for users to place on their talk pages, although Tader originally spelt it as ‘Recipitants’, and the first edition was ‘mailed’ to many users, such as NKSCF and General Grham, the former being one of the few users to have been a recipient from the very beginning of CUSWFN’s existence. The CUSWFN logo, designed by Shadowphobia was designed early on in CUSWFN’s existence, a simple, yet considered effective by many, design that featured the Star Wars Fanon logo emblazoned with the words ‘Completely Unofficial Star Wars Fanon Newsletter’. A ‘staff team’ consisting of the head editor, of ‘Head’ of CUSWFN, Intern writers and such, was created by Tader, although this was later abolished by Darth tom when it was deemed to be a breach of the clan policy, and a deterrent from the general user creating an article. After articles began to be submitted by these ‘writers’, who consisted of users such as Xepeyon and Pinky49, they were published in the newsletter. The newsletter at this time often published many articles in one edition, and had no set layout, the layout being predominantly decided by how many articles were submitted. The Editions were released on a weekly basis, the first being released on June 11, 2007, although that was the test version. The first official version was released on June 18, 2007, but the newsletter only continued until July 15, 2007, three editions on (there had been sporadic releases during that time), when Tader took his leave from Star Wars Fanon, leaving CUSWFN to die. CUSWFN wasn’t resurrected by anyone else, as Tader had stated that he fully intended to return, but the newsletter became inactive for some time. When Tader returned after three months, he picked up CUSWFN and his other projects, such as his Mandalorians: Path to Glory game, and the edition of the new CUSWFN, which featured a new layout, designed by Shadowphobia again, that was unlike anything the Oracle Newsletter of Halopedia had ever featured, the Oracle Newsletter never progressing from the basic, original layout. When the fourth, revived edition of CUSWFN was released on November 4, 2007, it was fully expected to carry on as it had previously, however Tader only released one more edition, on the 21st of November, 2007, before abandoning CUSWFN finally.
