*record scratch* Wait, what?
The above is a work of fiction. Fanfiction.

So is this comic. Technically, this comic is fanfiction of fanfiction of Star Wars. We agree: it’s a stretch. Just go with it.

Did Neil Gaiman actually endorse this project?
No. Liv thought it would be funny to stick a fake quote from him on the back jacket because Neil endorses a lot of excellent fiction. And we’re pretty sure that he’d support our imaginary book if he knew about it.

So who are we really?
Be the Verse is a group effort! All content here is written by Juliet and illustrated by Liv, with notable exceptions, which we will, er, note. For The Knights of Ren, we currently have two collaborators:

Rikke joins us as our colorist and guest artist for the cover. She is an accomplished professional artist who regularly blesses our fandom with incredible illustrations.

And concept for the imaginary graphic novel The Knights of Ren is Bethany’s. Bethany is the author of the modern AU fic “we could plant a house, we could build a tree,” in which Ben Solo is… well, you see the bio above. Bethany has kindly given us permission to make the story our own.

“Be the Verse”?
Be the Verse is a project Liv and Juliet have been dreaming up since they met. We have a lot of stories we are impatient to tell and wanted a place online for all of them to live. The Knights of Ren is the first of what we hope will be many creative works! (We’re ambitious like that.)

Where are we going from here?
Liv and Juliet have five or six installments or chapters of this story plotted out. We will keep you updated on various social media platforms when we figure out our posting schedule. Art is hard, and good art takes a little while. But follow us, keep your eyes peeled and ears tuned, and you won’t be disappointed.

Much love
BTV
