Title: Looking for writers: apply here
Post by: EdTheKet on January 12, 2007, 08:53:04 AM
[FONT="]Greetings,[/FONT]
  [FONT="]We’re looking for people who would be willing to join our Project Writing team.[/FONT]
  [FONT="]As part of this team you will work on writing descriptions of, for example:[/FONT]
  [FONT="]Organizations like the Ineffable Chord, the      Bowmore Trading Company, the Pranzis Army Officer Corps and so on.[/FONT]
[/list]  [FONT="]Legends&Artefacts, like the Bardic      Block, the Lich Skin.[/FONT]
[/list]  [FONT="]Dungeons. Most of our dungeons don’t have a      story (although several do), Histories or rumors on these would add flavor      to them.[/FONT]
  • [FONT="]Locales. If you look at the maps and the      handbook, you will see that not every forest, river, lake, mountain, swamp      or desert has an actual description in the handbook.[/FONT]
  • [FONT="]Cities/towns. If you look at the maps and      the handbook, you will see that not every village, town or city has an actual      description in the handbook.[/FONT]
  • [FONT="]Kingdoms. Several kingdoms will have sprung      up in V3 and they need to be more defined.[/FONT]
  • [FONT="]Planes. We're changing the planes and they need to be fleshed out more. [/FONT]
    [/list]  [FONT="]In addition, you can also work on expanding already existing things, such as cities or organizations. Deities are all but done though.[/FONT]
      [FONT="]What are we looking for:[/FONT]
     
    [FONT="]Creativity[/FONT]
  • [FONT="]Fluency in English[/FONT]
  • [FONT="]‘Feel’ for Layonara (what is meant here is      that what you write should fit in the world)[/FONT]
  • [FONT="]Adherence to deadlines[/FONT]
  • [FONT="]Ability to work well with a team and follow      directions[/FONT]
    [/list]  [FONT="]You can apply by posting here why we should select you and in conjunction send a write-up of something of your choice to heretic@layonara.com (heretic@layonara.com) and I’ll review.[/FONT]
      [FONT="]Please note that all your work will be subject to the Copyright Policy which can be read in the upper right hand corner of these forums.[/FONT]
      [FONT="]I look forward to reading your applications.[/FONT]
      [FONT="]Thank you and happy writing,[/FONT]

    I'm actyually very interested in this. i love writing, and plan on trying to get a book published sometime in the distant future (after college, and i've been teaching a few years). i feel i'm pretty good at writing histories and descriptions. i can also make just about anything longer when needed. just give me a guideline, deadline, and a length line and i'll be able to cook something up for you.

    as for sending in an example of my writing, just look at my bio. i have several histories there. one for each tribe and the island itself. there are typos, but i haven't really gone over and edited them as they have been mostly for me heh.

    Why me? Ummmm, I may not be the best writer but i'm surely the one with the most time on his hands at work! Surely that counts for something?

    Ed, I consider myself a pretty good writer. I sent a small write-up for your review.

    Thanks,
