Elder Scrolls Spin-off (Accepting Suggestions)

DarknecrosisX · 2013-01-04T22:34:29Z

I am planning to create a Storybook (for good and committed storybookers), that is set in the world of Tamriel in which the Elder Scrolls games are set. I already have a plotline laid out, but it will be lengthy and will require people who'd like to see a great story have an end. Of course, I won't forget about the importance of improving writing skill, developing characters and having a great time, but I'd like to see (for once) an SB actually reach an ending. The plan is to have a maximum of ten participants, one for each playable race within the series (as most other races are non-sentient or aggressive), meaning that it shouldn't rely upon each individual to keep the story going, but it would be appreciated if each member took their fair share of posts. Although not essential, a basic knowledge of the world of Skyrim would be useful, because this is where the story will be set, and for those who like learning about fantasy universes- this SB will be for you. Reading webpages will be required to understand some references made in the story, so be sure to be willing to read a bit when you consider joining this SB. If you're interested and would like to reserve a space or ask a question, leave a comment below.

I'm waiting on the final few profiles, mine's finished too.

Laments of passion
Obstructed by fear.
Under guises of jovial chatter;
Incredulous hopes
Steadily feasting away-
Eating away at my heart.

When we start, are we going have a post list? Like, one person goes, then another, and another in an order that eventually repeats or is it a free-for-all?

I'm having a bit of trouble coming up with a good name for my Nord. Any thoughts?

Sorry about me and TyrantOfWar being a little bit slow at finishing but we've decided on a semi-joint story that intertwines both of our characters. We're just adding the finishing touches now so we should be ready to go soon.

The best part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.

Oh, guys. So sorry for being late - I actually had to read a lot of things before even figuring what are the possibilities to be written in the profile >.< And then I actually have to think about it and make it somewhat original :p
Feel free to start without me, if you wish, I can come up with a reason why my character joins later ^^

We don't want to rush anyone... Take your time (as long as it's okay with everyone else)

Taylor's right, but it would be ideal if I could have the profile by Wednesday, but no hurry.

Yay c:
It is going to be the highlight of my day when we start.
But I have to ask again:
Is there a post list or is it free-for-all?

And I failed to mention in my form that Aoniax is pretty short. He is roughly around 5' 4". Teensy guy.

We'll have a discussion thread to discuss the plot and everything, but I may say that you have to wait for three other people to post before you can, just to avoid spamming. And yes, Taylor is right, I should be starting this tomorrow afternoon.
