Why not find one of the threads made by SJ for just such a purpose and bump it up? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

I could not recall who did this before, and how best to search for it Fyron. Better to just do over at this point with a fresh prespective.

Sigs change, and can eventually change everywhere. It might be better to include the links in the body of your message.

SEIV by Committee is sort of a story. Use 'spectator' | 'spectator' to log in and check it out.

As of the time of this posting, you can still join.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Thanks guys. We still have many authors who need to post here so if we could bump this occationally I would appreciate it.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

My sig contains my story...I really need to update it.

That would be Raging Deadstar. He was supposed to be making a nice site for all the stories to be posted at. But he doesn't come around much anymore.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

I recall sometime ago a link page that already had all of the storie links included. Do any of you recall that page? If so, can you post a link?

Thanks.

And Fyron, would it be possible to get all of the stories hosted at SE.net? I know that would be a huge undertaking, but if the authors were motivated by the prospect of having a dedicated forum for there stories, then perhaps they might be inclined to upload them there in there entirety.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

I believe that just might be it. Now we need to get it updated.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Any one else care to add there link?

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Certainly. Want a job? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Raging Deadstar was going to do this, but he sort of disappeared on me... I had recieved the go-ahead from 90% of the people I had asked to get their stories on SE.net.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

What would I need to do? Keep in mind that I am a lazy, unmotivated, slacker with no ambition and little interest in following through with anything that seems like work.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Well then, you will fit right in with the current administration! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

All you need to do is get the stories, convert them to HTML, then use the web forms to add them. I will give you a run down later when I get a chance, as well as a program that will convert text to HTML in a snap. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Oh sure. This from the guy with like 30 shipsets and one of the most popular mods (that he keeps quitting and then posting the next Version 3 hours later??!).

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Can you recommend a good HTML converter?

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Did I not say I would send you one? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Ooops, Sorry, I must have missed that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif But cool thanks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Well, sign back on #se4! Things must be discussed.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

If you are interested in having your story hosted on Fyrons www.spaceempires.net site please Private Message me and I will give you the email address to send your story to.

This is a very cool thing that Fyron is doing and I highly recommend that those of you who have written a story take advantage of.

Thank You

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Just a reminder and a bump for those who may have missed this announcement.

I do believe i still have a lot of the stories i collected together, but they could be out of date by now, and scattered over my hard drive.

Lol Fyron, i'm pretty sure you have my msn address, you should have kept nagging me. I think i gave up in the end because hosting was terrible to get for the site, and then I couldn't actually add the things on SE.Net where i was hoping to place them all up. *shakes head* Dooomed to failure... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Thank you very much for posting these links. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I do appreciate it very much. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

"The Ravenlock Consortium," "The Cryslonite Imperium" and "The Liberation of Tamarr" have been added to SE.net.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Thanks, it only took 1/2 an hour of trawling through countless Posts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Fyron, i'm planning on rewriting the Tamar story completely as i'm insanely annoyed at how it came out. I have a whole new concept for it. So i'll write a couple of chapters and send it to you so you can replace it.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Well I guess I can begin now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Look for these stories and more soon on www.spaceempires.net

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

If you need any help in this Atrocities just send me a PM or send me an e-mail. I'd be happy to help (as long as i can figure out how to add stuff on Fyron's site this time! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

I can always use help. Email Fyron and ask him to join the team. The more of us there are doing this perhaps the faster it will get done.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Yes Sir! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Ok, The Walkers with Permission of Chewy027 is up on Spaceempires.net

And so Is Xenology. More to be added soon

Edit: Now Dawn of A New Era is too

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Atrocities, could you tell me what stories you have started to compile and convert to html? I don't want to step on your toes or anything http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Currently i'm doing Newbie Galactic Combat II, This is a HUGE story http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: And now that is added, NGC II now available at Spaceempires.net http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif 51 Pages!!! Don't worry, a lot of chapters are short http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

I am not sure if it would qualify as being a story, but I ought to mention the Space Empires Galaxies game. The URL refers to the forum, in which you will find some roleplays.

As for the question "Would that be a story?", your guess is as good as mine I gather. *Shrugs*

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

I't wouldn't fall under Fan Fiction in my humble opinion. Just like SE4byc doesn't

Although i'll check if they're under the roleplay site links and if not i'll ask Fyron to add them

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

OK, found it now. Needs to be a little more clearly signposted imho, but just had a little read of some of those old stories:

S_J's capture operation - this is the one that (if I remember rightly) really kicked off fanfic on this forum. It was certainly one of the big inspirations for me to start writing.

RoRhemoraz - What can I say? I remember sitting down to read the enitire thing end to end once- and thoroughly enjoying it. One of the great things about that story is that it improves as it progresses, you can see the author's writing style get better and better with practise.

Xenology - *snif*. Just re-read it and damn it was good. There was real promise there.

War for the Stars- Another epic, and in nice, buite-sized chunks too. Really enjoyed that one, but got left behind. Maybe a re-read is in order...

Dawn of A New Era - Never read this before, but just been through it now and I'm really impressed. Great writing.

The Walkers- I remember reading the first few Posts of this as well, and thinking it was extremely good. Lots of back-story and history, and a really good study of another civilisation.

hevordian- If I remeber that was an ambitious story family and evolving psychics and all kinds of neat stuff. Another one for the re-read list.

NGC II- Never read it before, but I've just looked at the first page and I think I'm going to have to read the rest now.

Cryslonite Empire- Extremely skillful sci-fi, really like (and envy) that one.

Sadly, almost all of these stories are unfinished. What is it with us ppl that we can't finish our stories? (I count myself as one of the worst offenders)

Also, will the original multiplayer collective writing by PBW be going up on this site? I can't remember what it was called or who the writers were, only that it was an absolute epic and the other great inspiration for my own writings. There were humans playing the Norak and Fazrah, I think, and tha Xi were AI, then someone annexed the Zynarra and kicked off a massive war, and it was all just great stuff to read. This was a few years ago now... Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or do I need to stop taking LSD before bedtime?

But still,, thanks to all involved for bringing all these brilliant stories together. Maybe it will inspire some of the writers to complete them..? My KanesS never actually made (or at least, never wrote about) contact with any of the other human players in xenology, so I'm sorely tempted to start a single-player game with those races and continue the story. Or screw the game and just write=-)

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

Did you guys get History of the Galaxy pt. 1? Good stuff, there.

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

This is why I went through the trouble of finding all these. I'm waiting for Author permission for the rest, but hopefully we'll have more up soon.

I'm Glad you're enjoying it Dogscoff, I hope more people will visit and see the talent of this forum! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

As for unfinished stories i just restarted mine, will have a few chapters up soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Edit: Dogscoff, if you can find the link to this original pbw story, i'll ask the authors for permission and we'll get it up there

Re: Story Writers Please Read.
 

RD you and Fyron really should talk. Your far more atunded to these stories than I and would more than likely do a hell of a lot better job than I could on getting them all uploaded to his SE.net site. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

PM him and see what he says. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
