An appeal for a writer for an in-game book

Post » Tue Jul 17, 2012 12:59 am

As my first mod nears a point where I feel good about releasing it, I'm finding myself trying to write the book that begins the short fetch quest to acquire my sword.

While trying to write this damn book, I'm finding that any story I write, reads like a 12 year old wrote it, it's bad, really bad. Things that sound cool to me while I'm writing them, read like the previously mentioned writer wrote them.

Short version, I'm bad, really bad at writing stories, not just bad, I don't like doing it, doing it is irritating the snot out of me.

And my question, is there anyone out there who enjoys writing stories and wants to write one for me?
I mean, if there's no one out there, I'll just write a brief drivel story that gets the basic point across. "Yo, there is totally a sword over there."

Some details about the mod would help I imagine:

My mod is sort of a remake I guess, of a weapon added by Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, a two handed katana called "Light of Dawn", in Oblivion it grew with you as you killed vampires, I've attempted to take it a step further and grant more stages of growth for the sword along with some, in my opinion, unique abilities granted to the player by the sword.

Naturally I want the story to revolve around killing vampuuuuurs and the sword itself, my only other requisite is that the sword end up in Bloodlet Throne near Falkreath, the story doesn't need to be long, just a short, interesting story about a neat sword killing vampurs.

I'm probably not going to release until closer to Dawnguard launching so there's a fair bit of time for a story to get written, thanks in advance to anyone who wants to tackle this, naturally full credit will be given for your input. :smile:

Edit: I should mention that there will not be quest markers nor will there be a destination listed in quest objectives, I will force users to read your awesome story, just for helping me out.
