Any chance you could let me read some of these stories. Fan-created material, and original non-published material is sometimes a great resource for your own ideas.
I say this because I have hit a bit of a bump in the road at the moment with my story. I am into the second volume of the quintet, and the work has proceeded on and off for three years, but for some reason, the story just won't move forward. Perhaps I am actually suffering from non-published writer's block .

Um . . . I could look into it. I actually no longer have the story part of those files for Gae'arth. I had had each story in a separate folder, and listed the actual story as just 'story.wpd.' When things were being transfered due to an old computer being abandoned, the person actually doing it put everything in the same directory, and so only one 'story.wpd' got through. Everything else was overwritten. Since then, I lable everything by story title as well (if I still had that, it would now be called 'Gateway to Gae'arth - story.wpd').
I suppose I could give you the notes for that story. I never cleaned them up, though. Only one other person's ever wanted to look at it, and that was Sadonayerah Odrydin. As I've stated elsewhere, she took an elven 'eldani'-ranger (in that story, there's a distinction between normal rangers, as caretakers of the forests, and fighter-rangers, which are the D&D type) to use in a story of her own. I also could give you some other stories, that have actual 'story' that I would consider releasable.
The other thing you could do, you know, is send me that story, assuming it's on disk. Remember my standing, open offer of edtitor/critic? That's for everyone on here, even Australians. |

I may just take you up on that offer of assistance Bookwyrm. Sometimes two heads working at a problem like this can help. Even if they are our heads .
Anyway I would appreciate seeing your notes, if that's all you have.
Also, I am starting a new short story soon, about a character I detailed in the [plug]'Sage of Perth's Travelogue'[/plug] scroll in the Adventuring section. It is set in the early 1350's in the city of Calaunt. I may just send the notes I have on this little project as well, just to get an objective view of it, which I get very little of around here.
