Default The Great American Novel

So

Anybody want to collaborate and help write the first ever Twilight 2000 novel?

I see novels about other games in the bookstores and was thinking with all the great (and twisted) minds on this forum we should be about able to put something together.


Colonel Po's wild adventures lol....

Colonel? Bloody hell, I always hoped he'd be snuffed before gaining another promotion.

I'm assuming that you mean not-for-profit fan-fic?

Anything more would likely violate some licensing, trademark, and/or copyright laws, no?

Actually you could write a for-profit novel - you would have to go to the owner of the game, get his buy in and he would get a share of any of the profits and of course be part of the marketing of it

The 1980s were the time for that kind of fiction. The Wingman, Guardians, CADS, etc. Now? Eh...

With that said I'm having a lot of fun playing Fallout 3 (just bought it; I'm a late bloomer, sure, but it runs like greased lightning on new systems), so maybe there is an audience for it.

That's a very difficult thing to do collaboratively, but not impossible I suppose.

I think a series of the original modules through Going Home would be the easiest. The setting is all pretty well fleshed out and we all know the general narrative.

Just re-reading about the TDM... Prologue will start with people sitting at the table when the attack happens... then fast forward 3 years to our group of heroes running for their lives during the battle of Kalisz....

something along that lines... and off course it is only a draft... if it gets good enough then we would look into licensing it as a kickstarter program.

Default Anthology?

I'm interested. I'd suggest we consider doing it as anathology. A collection of short stories might be easier as a collective work then a single storyline.

If someone wanted to write a grand story arch, then the individual authors could write their story inside the story arch.
