I do, as a matter of fact, write these stories more for the fans of Star Wars than I do myself.

[edit] Sequel-Trilogy.Net
Sequel-Trilogy.Net started out as a colaboration between Brandon Rhea, Michael Jones and Gregg Tasoulas. Their intention was to pretend as if the Original Star Wars Trilogy (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi) had never happened yet, meaning the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith) had been released first. The dates for the first three films were the same (1999, 2002, 2005), but then they wrote up press releases with George Lucas saying that Episode IV of the Saga would be released in 2008. The idea died a slow and painful death.
Soon, they decided to dedicate the site to an idea called The Alternative Star Wars Saga.
[edit] The Alternative Star Wars Saga
Gregg and Brandon decided to begin writing an Alternative Trilogy, but because of conflicting ideas they began to start writing seperate stories. Gregg stuck with just IV-V-VI, but Brandon decided to update I-II-III as well as write a brand new IV-V-VI, followed by VII-VIII-IX. He has talked about writing a fourth trilogy, but has never given a definitive answer on the matter. There were many bumps in the road, and at one point Gregg and Brandon were fired. While they were gone, a new staff member named Eric Giordmaina, or Dark_Silence, was brought in. Gregg eventually disappeared, but Brandon came back to Sequel-Trilogy.Net after mending his friendship with Michael Jones, decreeing that the entire ordeal was one big mis-understanding. But, when he returned he learned that Michael was planning something...something big.
[edit] Fi-Sci.Net
For months, Michael Jones had dreamed about creating a Science Fiction/Fantasy website. Michael, Eric and Brandon eventually made that dream a reality. They called this reality Fi-Sci.Net
Soon, Eric began to quickly make a name for himself in the film industry. Taking over the role as Chief News Editor, Eric began to make handy contacts within the industry. Under the leadership of Michael, Fi-Sci.Net is becoming the one stop shop for all your Sci-Fi/Fantasy needs. Because there are writers from the United States, Great Britain and Australia, the entire globe is covered 24/7.
[edit] The Star Wars RP
When Brandon was fired from ST.N for a month or so, a man named Steven Alldis, who had already made a name for himself, offered him a job. He would co-operate a site called "The REAL SuperShadow", a site that exposed the lies of Mickey Suttle, aka. SuperShadow. Along with this, Brandon was made a moderator of TheStarWarsRP, a site hosted at ProBoards. Weeks later, Steven decided that regular modship was not a suitable job for Brandon, so he promoted him to the level of Global Moderator. In July 2005, when it was decided a new Administrator was needed, Steven chose Brandon for the position, a position where Brandon has now earned the respect of the entire site.
In November 2005, the members moved from their ProBoards site to an Invision based site called TheStarWarsRP.Com where Brandon continues to serve as an Administrator.
[edit] Other Announced Novels
Brandon has recently announced that he will be writing two novels outside of the Star Wars universe, one of which he may someday attempt to have published. The first is a James Bond Fan Novel called Damsel in Distress. The novel will pick up where the 2006 film Casino Royale left off and will be based on the ending of the aforementioned film and the rough details that have leaked about Bond 22.
The second novel is currently titled An American President, a story about the 50th President of the United States, President Patrick Keylan. More details will be released shortly.
