Writers needed
As Story Lead I'm currently looking for dedicated writers interested in joining our team. If you would like to lend your talent to our project, please read the requirements below and submit your application as directed.
Step one: Briefly familiarize yourself with the 3 possible backstories located in the Level-Grind Online
Backstory & Lore forums.
Russ' Backstory
Aaron's Backstory
Meg's Backstory
Step two: Develop a piece which includes some ORIGINAL lore for 1 place of interest within in the game world, 1 person of interest who influences the game world, and 1 item of interest located somewhere inside the game world. They do not all need to be related to one another (for example you may write about a small frontier town, a Cleric of note, and an item of power held by the Sorcerers) nor do they need to be epic in nature (feel free to write about a locally famous inventor) but they do need to exhibit your talent and familiarity with the world being developed. By "original" I mean developed entirely by you - please do not write about places, items or people already described in any of the backstories.
Step three: Submit your piece (maximum of 1500 words-- but we're looking for quality over quantity) in the stickied Submissions thread located in the Backstory & Lore forum. Do not reply to this topic with your submission. Do not create a new thread on the LGO forums for your submission.
Step three: please remain active on the LGO forums and/or the #levelgrindonline IRC channel for one week following your submission. We need to be assured that you will be available and willing to dedicate adequate time to the project. We're not expecting 40 hours a week, but an average of 2-3 hours per day will probably be necessary (it's fine if you only want to do weekends). Any availability between the hours of 11am - 11pm EST is preferred -- since this is generally when I am active and able to work with you.
Credit will be given for any contributions used, and your contact information will be made available both here on the website as well as within Jeromy's book, Programming an MMORPG in C# with XNA, as a form of free advertising for your talent.
I realize this may sound like a lot, especially for a volunteer project. I'm doing this for free because I truly love to write, and I'm getting great experience and enjoyment from this project. If you think you will too, please consider coming aboard!
