    Wolf Brothers, Wolf Sisters…

    Allow me to extend a paw and Welcome you all to join our....

     

    August, 17th to the 31st

    Well that’s impressive but what is it?

     

    What indeed! We’ve all read them whether it’s in some dusky damp cave or a half ruined office building with a gaping hole where the roof was hundreds of years before….

     

    There you are, in your fancy armor and sword or the anti radiation suit with the nuclear can opener, quietly killing anything you meet when with Hircine’s grace, (or any other deity) you come across a half torn book or terminal. The upturned chair is lifted up and you find yourself emerged into a second fantasy of stories, fiction, hope and betrayal.

     

    We’re talking in-game books and terminal files………

     

    We’ve all got our favorite ones. Mine? The Cake and the Diamond…..

     

    But what if we could make our own book? What if you could make a file for the Terminals spread around the wasteland? What story would you create?

     

    Well now is your chance to find out. Throughout these two weeks we’re running a ‘Create Your Own Book - Terminal' Event. It doesn't matter whether its TES or Fallout, come and join in.

    Show us what story you would cast out into the world of Trolls Vampires Werewolves, cities full of hope and wonder…

    What data file would you link to the apocalyptic world of Fallout where the desperately hungry fight the desperately tired to hold on for one more day just for the right to see the next day’s dawn.

    Cooool! Is there a word limit or the like I need to worry 'bout? Up for this, though. Thinking now just how far the Lusty Argonian Maid will go.... JK ;)

    There's no word limit at all. Some books are but half a page while others are several pages long. I am looking forwards to seeing where members go with this.

    Heh, alright there we go. Yes I am certainly down for this Event, I've got a couple thoughts running around my head but I'll be certainly writing something here Sotek.

    Awesome, thanks Wolfie! I just need a magicka potion, but am sure there will be something in the tank by the time I am off work.

    Awesome! I'll see if I can hammer out a terminal.

    Awwwoooo 

    I hope you all do get a chance to join in. I'll be starting my piece tomorrow. Don't forget to use the workshop if you need it.

    I might use the Workshop too. Been trying to conjure something but the spell keeps failing.

    Yeah, I dunno, Workshop, that place is weird :P I'm actually going to post one of my options (there were two books I was thinking about) but I did have a question before I did. Does it have to be based off of normal Skyrim? I was thinking about writing a quick series of side-books for my Fate/Elder Scrolls series (#ShamelessPlugWithoutThePlugCauseIDon'tLinkThingsUnlessI'mPluggingThem) and I was wondering if I could post them for the Event. They'd be in-universe books, just not you know in entirely the same universe.

    If not, I've got other plans. My first one I've actually been thinking about for ages which is a counter-argument to Alduin is real, and he ent Akatosh! 

    Naturally, it's written by Thromgar son of Thromgar in a devious attempt to discredit his father as an idiot, though unfortunately Thromgar isn't much smarter than his pa, in fact might even be a tad bit dumber.
