ANY HELP NEEDED FROM A WRITER?

Posts

Pages: 1
Right, so I'm not a developer, but I am a writer so I figured I should at the least offer my skills to forward the cause of good games, if it's wanted. I don't know if the people of this community prefer to be independent with their writing but in case there are those who appreciate the help, I shall make myself available. Obviously if there's a lot of demand then I won't be able to help everybody at once, or if my schooling gets in the way then it may take me some time, but otherwise I do appreciate having some work on my plate and it is nice to contribute. So, here's what I can do.

Editing/Proof-Reading/Critiquing:
Got some dialogue/a story outline that you're not totally thrilled with? I'm more than happy to read over your work and, depending on what you want, either offer you some suggestions for improvement or edit the work myself and give you some revised dialogue to use. I'm happy to take some directions and if you don't want to use what I've done or suggested then that's fine by me.

Game Testing (Mostly for text mistakes):
If rather than some dialogue you've got an actual game demo out and are needing testers, I can also do this. My focus would be keeping a close eye on all of the text for typos and other errors, though if I encounter other bugs I'll bring those up as well. I'm nice like that.

Scene Writing:
If anyone actually wants me to write dialogue for the characters in their game from scratch. I caaan do this, but it'd most likely be a lot of work and I can't guarantee I'd be lightning-fast. Again, feel free to direct me however you desire given it's your game. Of course, I would expect to be credited as the writer for the game if you've hired me to do all of it, or as a co-writer if I'm sharing the load with you/another.

Anything Else:
If there's any other help you need, just bring it up and we'll see! I can't think of how else I can be of service, but if there is anything just post here.

Kindly indicate in the subject that you are from RMN and specify what exactly you're after (editing, writing, testing, advice, etc.)
I live in Australia so a reply may not be quick due to the time difference.
Include any relevant attachments.


Like I said, I don't know how much demand there would be for a writer here. If you want to see some of my writing, you can either read one of my reviews (four at present and more to come, though the latest is still pending) or ask me to send you a short story I wrote recently.
In my case there was not, any demand (Maybe I didn't get to know myself so much in that time, and my methods were focus to the non independent writers, and I think everyone's here is one), but I hope someone request for your help ;) you seen pretty much trust worth it than me. So good luck (y)
Dialogue is where I suffer in game making. That being one of the most important parts, I may be able to use your help for some scene writing. Should I message you or something?
Yeah. Anyone who wants to take me up on the offer, just contact me and chances are we can work something out.
From what I hear about the storyline progression and dialogue, Final Fantasy : Essence could have used a writer. Too bad they pulled a ragequit.
I'd like to ask for your help in fixing my dialogue or to get across a character trait more obviously since English isn't my first language. Would be cool <:3c

They only pulled out of RMN, it can still be found on facebook. They really could use the help, though xD

I might ask for some help with small side quests/NPC dialogue. Sorry, it's not clear, do we PM you? or what's the deal there?
Hmm....I may ask for proofreading and critique for my game since while I have written quite a lot in my time, I still feel that there's a lot that could be done better. Trying to keep dialogue and such suitable and accordingly to each character when there's 100 something different characters in a game is pretty hard @_@
You're right, it's not clear at all. Apologies, I wrote the topic at 2am since I wanted to get it out there quickly. I'll update it with contact details, namely my email which is -

matthock@bigpond.net.au
Huh...wouldn't it be easier to go through PMs on here? Just asking is all~
I tend to organise as much of my stuff as possible via email, so I'd prefer that. If I get PMs though, I get PMs. I'll still respond.
