OFFERING WRITING SERVICES

Posts

Pages: 1
I'd like to offer my services as a writer to anyone in need of assistance with any sort of writing tasks, from heavy loads of NPC dialogue to big picture story writing and anything in between.

I'm a newcomer to the RPGMaker community, and I'm hoping to get some experience working with some people who know the ropes of game design better than I do (not a high bar to clear,) and hopefully build up a reputation to attract future collaborators.

I'm a longtime tvtropes editor (if you frequent the site, there's a good chance you've read some of the pages I've written,) and I'm happy to take on large workloads. Want to make every character in a town of 200 interesting to talk to? Want a novel description for every piece of equipment in the game? Want to give your game a dose of Always Check Behind The Chair and offer up entertaining character/scenery interactions? I'm glad to help.

Looking to deepen your characters, inject some believable statesmanship into a political plot, or turn a generic sword and sorcery premise into something more? I'd love to be a part of it.

I hate letting other people down, and I'm unlikely to suffer constraints on my time which will prevent me from working, so you can expect me to stick out projects to completion. If you're unsure about the level of quality I'll bring to the project, I'm happy to join in on a trial basis.

Hope I can be of service.
How about showing off a bit of what you can do? Do you have any examples of work?
The only video game related work I've done is unfortunately not saved on my computer. I was part of a game making group that spun off of the tvtropes forums which died out due to lack of commitment, and the work I contributed is no longer archived; ideally I'd like to work with someone more committed to bringing their work to fruition.

If you'd like to see some short examples of my work, I can link to a few tvtropes pages I've created:

Grail In The Garbage

Martial Medic

Slap On The Wrist Nuke

The End (webcomic)

I've written up plenty of others, but some of them now showcase other people's work as much as my own. In terms of willingness to do large scale monotonous grunt work, I was responsible for manually switching every instance of Sliding Scale Of Idealism Versus Realism to Sliding Scale Of Idealism Versus Cynicism when the trope was renamed.

If you want something more substantial, or demonstrative of my fiction writing abilities, the work I currently have online is old and no longer satisfying to me, but if anyone wants to offer some sort of prompt indicative of the sort of work they want done, I'd be happy to write up something new to show them.

The reason I don't have a solid portfolio to offer up is the same as the reason I'm looking for people to offer my services to right now; I find it much easier and more satisfying to work when I have other people counting on me than when I'm working entirely under my own volition. So rather than writing something up and showing it to people on demand, it comes easier to me to write something up on demand and show it to people.

I'm prepared to respond to any sort of prompts any member here might offer, at any level of open endedness (as long as it doesn't demand familiarity with existing characters I don't know.) If anyone has any interest in this, I'm looking forward to it.
