Oblivion mod needs a writer

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but figured I'd get a bit of a different response here (more writer based) than if I posted in one of the Oblivion sub-forums. Or at the least, more attention from those who might be able to help out.

 

Anyway, as part of a mod I'm working on, I need a number of books written that both fit within the scope of the mod, as well as some books which just fit (loosly) within the lore of the game. In most cases, these would be stories, poetry, religious documents, personal accounts of some event, or works of fiction. Since I would need them to be fairly well written, and varied (not all written by the same person) I thought it might be a good idea to turn here to see if anyone is willing to contribute. Submissions would be approved by the mod team, and have to be something which would make sense with the world, so taking stuff you've already made may not work very well. I would however be willing to provide you with any details you felt were needed. Your work will be your own, and will be credited within the mod's readme. You do not need to know anything about modding, we will add your writings to a book item within the game. Additionally, anyone who helps out will get their books added to their own standalone, unique mod (seperate from the mod being made by the project, and not publicly distributed or shared with anyone else) as a thank you for your help.

 

*correction* Topic title doesn't seem right, we're basically looking for people who want to write some ingame books... Not someone who wants to write the story of the mod.

Well I can't make any promises on sensational quality, but I would be willing to give it a shot. So what kind of mod are you making(feel free to PM me if you don't want to post details)? Generally I find that the more specific a direction i'm given, the better work I can produce. And one final question...How do you want us to submit our material? Should we simply post it here, PM you with what we've written, or e-mail it to you?

 

:thanks: in advance

Most of the general information about the mod can be found here

Additional information can be supplied based on what you are wanting to write. I'm more interested in seeing what people can come up with their own skills than what they can do with my direction though.

 

For submissions, you can either post it here (using quote tags), on the project forum, or PM it to me.

I'm a bit of a grammar and spelling fanatic, and I have a large vocabulary (when I can remember the words. When I can't, I use dictionary.com) :P So, I'd be happy to proof-read submitted material -- in other words, to act as an editor (like in the newspaper business).

 

Anyway, I don't have a lot of confidence in my creative writing skills at the moment, although I have been very good at it in the past. I can dig around in my old stuff and see if there isn't something that could be useful. If I find something, I'll try to send it to you (via PM? Or email? I'll try PMing, see if that works or not).
