Welcome to the Celebration! Please sign the guestbook!

*~*Happy Celebration Weekend!!*~*

Hello everyone!

Fifteen years ago, the same year as the theatrical release of Episode III, this community was founded to provide a safe and welcoming haven for Obidala shippers. It brought together artists, writers, vidders, and web-hosts from around the world to share in their common love of the ship that keeps on sailing! Then, as now, the Star Wars fandom can be a polarized and polarizing place for its fans. From shipping wars to continued disdain for everything Prequel, the OFF has somehow managed to stand the test of internet time!

And now, fifteen years later, with members and friends both old and new, we take this weekend to connect, re-connect, laugh, and gluttonously wallow in a buffet of brand new Obidala pretties!  Whether this is your first time here or your hundredth, please leave a reply down below to sign our virtual guestbook.  Let us know your favorite forum memory or how you found us this weekend!

This is our OTP and the OFF is, and will continue to be, our home away from home!  Welcome to (or welcome back to) the family!


With Love,

NoobianRose, danielle, and Briseis


P.S.,
The new look for the forum was inspired by traditional fifteenth anniversary gifts: red roses and crystal or glass. If you are signed in and having trouble seeing the new layout try going to: profile>>edit profile>>settings and change your forum theme to "15th Anniversary."

Hi guys! I made it finally! Opened the boards last night and then went to sleep! Lol. So excited to start commenting on everything and chatting with you all.

My favorite forum memory is hard to peg. I think one of my favorites is actually the first OVOC?? I wasn't a moderator then and I remember the sheer excitement of getting up early and seeing all the people there and all the submissions for the first time! It was OBIDALAPALLOZA and it was fangirl heaven!

Oh dear, I forgot all about the celebration until I got the email today. I'm too late to make something, but at least I'm in time to take a look at all the pretties! Happy 15th, Obidala fans!

Hello again,

I meant to come back earlier but the day got away from me, so here I am now, unusually with it for an early lockdown morning, ready to immerse myself in vids!
