    • Writing opportunities abound!


      I am currently working on an EVO plug-in. Despite what my sig says, it's actually now 46% to beta. However, I'm running into a little bit of a slowdown in the work, due to one fact:

      I need some writers!

      It's quite a large (16+MB) plug-in, and I need a number of writers for government's mission lines. The work would probably involve one mission line per writer, hopefully, and anywhere from 10-80 missions, depending on the government. Multiple major storylines within each government, a variety of small repeatable missions, and a bunch of mutually exclusive plot lines from the different govenrments. Everything from evil aliens to greedy merchants to hired mercenaries, pirates, and more. Post or email me if you're interested in taking a part in this endeavor.

      I don't need specific mission resources produced (although that would be wonderful!), but a storyline that fits in with the basic character of the government.

    • I can do some writing (maybe), but don't have time for making the resources themselves. I'd like to hear more about this plug before signing up though.

    • As long as you're able to commit yourself to one full storyline, that's fine. For more info on the plug-in, visit my website.

    • Will you be providing an overall storyline, with what needs to be done etc in it, or is most of the writing up to the writer? It seems like you have a big plan, but I'm not really sure what you need exactly.

    • The general guidlines contained in that document are to guide the writer, but the direction major storylines take is up to them. Obviously, I'm going to need some major conflicts, i.e. Guardians vs. Mavericks in the storyline, but what form exactly that takes is up to the writer. The purpose of this endeavor is to bring in new ideas and insights for the different governments, so it doesn't look like a bunch of the smae missions with slightly different names. This way each writer is resopnsible for the unique "flavor" that each government has in their mission line.
