The collected stories of Guns of Icarus. Worthy of publishing

[Arturo Sanchez]

I really need an exercise to get off this procrastination cycle.
I've been writing this novel for quite a while now but I'm so desperate for it to be really good that the thought of touching it terrifies me.


So I'm proposing the following. Write an anthology of stories in guns of Icarus. It can be meta, RP, it can even be a writing challenge for me, it can be in the perspective of a player, or even as a character in the guns universe (what is the world of Icarus called anyway? Sky world? Gaia? Earth? Icarii? Icaria?)


And if muse is ok. Upload the collected works to this site.

and see where it goes for shizzles and giggles. Hell all proceeds could even go towards muse's development in the game IF it gets published.

I now want somebody to write something to the title "The Spire That Survived"

[Tanya Phenole]

It could be really great. Wish I could write in english.

[Arturo Sanchez]

Just write in duck.

hmmm dementio which of the 7 plots do you want it in? Word limit? Must have themes? Ship name?

[Dementio]

I am Daniel.

I was thinking about a silly and short story related to skirmish mode, because, you know, Spires tend to die a lot, but this story is about The Spire That Survived, with that as it's "name". Perhaps told from the pilot point of view.
Completely default, no theme, no figurehead, maybe the color red, but that's as far as it goes. Because it survived it appears to be rather neutral, unless you want to add a conflict in, then you might want to have it be different from whoever is trying to get it with usage of different colors/themes, if there is somebody like that.
Since I wanted it to be a rather short story, maybe a 1000 to 5000 words? Whatever suits your needs best, I suppose.

I don't know the lore all too well, less the factions and their attributes, so I am not able to give you a particular setting other than a silly (possibly over-emotionalised) version of skirmish mode :l
You know, just for fun


Now that I am thinking about it, somebody may want to write down the story of the Burning Skies Saloon

[Arturo Sanchez]

hmmm... Need to standardise how to submit these things.

Screw it I'll just use my rather unused fanfiction.net account.
*will be edited with the link to the story. Oh wait their UI is awful.

I'll find a way. I'll just get on it right now and work out sharing later.

[Arturo Sanchez]

well it seems editing posts has a timer so there we go double post

I do find much promise in this thread but i'm a bit confused as to what you exactly want here. Is it that you want submissions of some sort or ideas for you to write about? If you are looking for ideas i have some. If you are looking for submissions of stories then i have things i can write about. There are a lot of stories here in the cantina so another option would be to contact the author and get their permission to use their work. Getting people to submit work may be harder than you expect. The cantina is dry nowadays due to things like being to busy with things outside the forum or just not having an idea to write about. Though with the holidays coming up things should pick up a bit but who knows.

I'm willing to help and contribute as much as i can i just need to know a little more about what you're asking. Whether that be giving ideas for something to write about or actually writing something from my own mind.

I'd much rather get  stories from people that are actively working towards writing specifically for this. Keeps things fresh

Impy and I have been working on scripts for a GoI fancomic in our spare time (when I'm not dying from all this goddamn work, fuck college prep). As for writing specifically for your anthology? I might when this semester is over and I'm out of animation class, I'll watch the thread and see where this goes.

P.S. You're writing a novel too?! Get out of town, that's /my/ territory. >u>

There may or may not be Bard fanfiction, but you didn't hear it from me

You want a novel duel?
I'll smack you so hard with my very thick e-book.... jk... I have no idea how to get it published... but finishing it is a good start. Guess I'll just smack you with a manuscript.


Well logic... I can always write a story about the bards. I just need a few parameters, because people always have a specific expectation but tend to do say "do whatever", when they really want is do this thing I want.

Maybe.

All I got is 2 main characters. 1 that can talk her way out of a raging gunfight and another that uses old fashioned guns like the ww2 mauser and flintlock pistol.
