Due to the apparent lack of interest and submissions the Holiday Funfest is being cancelled. Furthermore there will be no more Funfests until the new site design is up and everything is well again in Staff Land. That is all. |

Well, there's a bunch of my aught-four crap in that filthy box over there... Or, you can take a look at these instead! Gotta make room for the aught-five Auctions! I would suggest looking at these and not the aught-four crap in the filthy box. If you give anything in that box to anyone, you'll be gettin' a kick in the skull with a ribbon on it. |

Hey gang. Our good friends at Nintendojo have reported an update from Nintendo Dream, clarifying (again) that the new EarthBound game is slated for the GBA, putting a damper on speculation that it will be a DS title. Of course, as hardcore fans, we shouldn't worry. There's a good chance we'll be touching, coddling, and smooching our EarthBound bearing screens whether they're functional or not. Keep it here for more updates as they unfold. |

 ROCK CANDY MUSIC - A new site subsection that is an archive of the fan-made EarthBound music done exhibiting quality musical skill. The section contains new fan made EB music creations that will be posted week to week. This section also contains The RC Monthly, an update that occurs, monthly (hence the name) containing a music theme and EB tunes along with it. The previous RCM updates have been archived as well for you now to explore! The last part of this subsection is the archive of the Rock Candy Albums, their contents, info, flavors, background and how to obtain them if interested. Check all these new surprises and have a great new year's ever coming up! If you want to find the RC Music section again, you can always check the left side bar of the fanart main page.

 The Funfest Continues! Many may wonder what is up with te funfest? Well, due to some access problems we are having a difficulty getting the submissions up. Let me assure you that we are getting submissions so this is an active funfest!! Until the Funfest is fixed, just send the entries to to the HOLIDAY FUNFEST FORUM. JP007 is being a most excellent trooper through all this mess! He will most likely post an update on the submission location if there is a change. Keep posted!  Talking about the funfest, I am hoping to get more people to be in the mood to be part of the fun. Here are some links to the past Holiday/Winter funfests. These events exploded and sparkled with talent and a love for EB! Check out the past entries if you are looking for inspiration and ideas! Holiday Funfest 2002 / Holiday Funfest 2003  RC Monthly - For this holiday season, as usual, is the appropriate EB music to go along with the times.

 If you have not already, read the story on EB no Matsuri! If you've been a good little boy or girl, you get a copy of Earthbound! If you've been a bad little boy or girl, you get a flesh-eating virus! If you're a staffer, you get nothing until you recreate your section! Kudos to Skulryk for getting the Mother 3 section finished! |

 CALLING ALL ARTISTS => DUE DEC 30th - Remember people, the annual Calling All Artists is going on, meaning that you need to turn your entries in for CAA for them to be in the Official Starmen.net Calendar. The art that you turn in will actualy become part of people's wall and for everyone to remember your talent! Several people have already turned stuff in and if you dont turn stuff in, I always have substitues, but I prefer fresh work and I want to give people this opportunity to show their stuff!  Ness 200X - A comic with a twisted nature on the events of EarthBound and some untold off-the-wall occurances that you will wish you never heard. Illustrated by the talented Illustrated Sailor (Check out his gallery HERE), he brings his vivid colorful artist mark and expression-full comic series here to Starmen.net joining the SPEC team! |

 It has been some time since something new has been added to Merchandise, so why not make it something big. You see before you a Prototype of EarthBound. This is the real deal, and possibly only 1 exists. A big thanks goes out to Predatorxs for providing all the info and pics. And another big thanks to SNES Central for their help as well! If you want to talk about this little discovery, do so here. |

 MANGATANG! - The translations keep coming from those comics that you keep hearing about or see in auctions, ShadowX posts. The comics this time around are pretty sweet (Original comics 12 & 13). Mr. Saturn in NOT making love to Ness's head and you will see where the term, "Believe in the Monkey," comes from. Enjoy! |

Check out his gallery, but most of all check out his work which is the FOTW of this week!

| Yessir, the Winter Solstice is nearly upon us, and I've updated the Mailbag specifically for this reason and not just because it's my job to do it on the weekend. I work for the people, y'know! Go check it out, it's all about time travel and stalkers this week. Then write me a new letter about - what else? - the new Mother 3 rumours that have been floating around. Click this link if you missed the other one! Yar! | ||||||

The illustrious Mr. Choate writes in today to tell us that the folks over at IGN have posted a blurb. But, uhh...huh? This smacks of cluelessness, similar to the way Nintendo's own reps used to tout the sequel. And I quote: "Our sassy band of heroes reunites once again to save the Earth from cosmic peril...When faced with an unlikely foe called Clumsy Robot, you realize that victory will demand building up your mighty Starstorm Spell to the highest level..." |
