THE DEADLY DOG Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Well it's been stated before, it's been tried before, and if given the right amount of TLC can be done. Welcome to the X360A Fan Fiction Book thread. Ladies and gentlemen of the wacky world of X360A, may I welcome you to the thread devoted to your deepest passions, your greatest desires, and your ultimate dreams for what else... your favorite games. Now I know you may be asking what this is all about? That's the glory of it lies in the idea. Anyone and everyone can take that little slice of gaming ecstasy that they get from playing their favorite game and write a little something on it. Love to play Gears of War? Really wish there was a divergent story line? Why not make one? What about GTA IV? Wish there was a little more back story to your favorite character? Make it. Everyone has the urge to write something down, everyone has that urge to express their emotions/feelings/passions--this is the place to do it. For now will simply collect the stories everyone writes, no matter the formatting, or extra website used to host it until we get everything fleshed out. If you want just post in your game's forum area with a thread for your story. Make sure to name it something to do with lore and this idea so it's not summarily deleted as spam or advertising. For now let's follow these simply guide lines which should be changed and altered as this grows on people: Stories should range from 1,000 words (about 1.75 pages single spaced) to 4,000 words (about 6 pages single spaced). ~This is just a guideline. Of course stories that go over are welcomed, but something to shoot for is always a nice guide. Games can have multiple stories written on them, but let's avoid the same topic. Of course we could eventually develop the alternate history aspect, but let's get the ball rolling first and foremost. Each and every piece submitted for this book is the intellectual property of the writer and should not be used in any part without his/her explicit permission no matter where/how they post the story. Hopefully I don't have to prod the fire anymore, but I do encourage everyone to get their ideas together, their emotions under check, and their fingers ready to type. I also wanted to thank Coxy x360a for getting this idea started. May we really hold up to the image of what you wanted out of it. The old thread.

Cann0nSen5ei Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The "you start off as a prisoner" plot starter is a beaten dead horse. I don't write too often but the 6000 word limit gives me a ton of creative freedom. This may take a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to use my ample free time at work *Laughs* to start developing an idea-line for my GTA IV story. The more I think about it the more I want to do something AC related as well. Well who knows, maybe I can blow through all of this school work and then write stories on them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
