Hello again...

[ZDawg]

So... due to the fact that my other topic got closed prematurely without any relevant answer to my question, I guess I have to post it again. Let me make this more clear to everyone: I don't want to work on a Morrowind conversion for Oblivion, and I never did. It was just a misunderstanding, likely on my part.

What I did ask was if there was a place for me here as a writer. I want to write in any case, the fact that this expansion is going to add Hammerfall to Oblivion is irrelevant. I can learn about Hammerfall in a night's reading.

Now, what I was wondering in my last thread was not if there was a project out there that recreates Morrowind for Oblivion, but rather if there was a spot open for a writer, and what I should do to get there. I read the thread in the literature forums about what to do already, and I read several other topics in relation to that. I just needed some clarification on what I should do, suggestions on what to write about, etc.

Please don't advertise for Morroblivion in this thread and get it locked this time!

Sorry about the fate of your last topic; it is not always uncommon for conversations to go quickly off-topic here...

But that's not important. If you want to write literature for TR, post some work in the showcase forum, and people should be around sooner or later to give constructive criticism. Be sure to read the "To All Aspiring Writers" topic, which should give you information on what is expected in literature. Know this: it says there that people hardly ever get promoted for literature alone, so be ready to really impress Nanu Ra and the others if you plan to get promoted for just literature.

Good Luck. I hope you become a great asset to the project.

your best bet is to do great Raga (redguard) stuff. i highly sugest reading Sload's lore topics and his lit work to get a feel for what redguard literature should be like and about. theres plenty of room fiction and creative stuff, but we do need scientific and historical works too.

Thanks for the responses guys. I actually already wrote my first piece. It is actually an essay about slavery from a Khajiit living in Hammerfell. I think that it might have to have a quest associated with it involving secret slave-traders in Hammerfell, but that will be a story for another time.

Thanks again for the comments. I will post the piece up under the literature showcases. Hopefully I was able to capture the voice of an angry Khajiit aspiring to topple slavery in Tamriel once and for all.

Thanks guys.

slavery from a Khajiit living in Hammerfell.

Hate to rain on your parade but theres no slavery in Hammerfell.

[Gnomey]

Most Khajiit are against slavery, whether they're slaves or not. He never said that the author was a slave. While the secret slave-trade in Hammerfell isn't part of Lore, to my knowledge there's nothing that speaks against it so why not? I actually played around with the idea myself.

[Thrignar Fraxix]

Because that is lame, not at all fitting to the culture, and about as efficient as if the US and Canada were to use China as an outlet for trade between themselves... If that made any sense...

[Gnomey]

Yes, that is a good reason. However, first of all you haven't seen what ZDawg has come up with yet, (who knows, he might add an interesting twist or something), and second of all the idea isn't that slaves are shipped to Hammerfell to be sent to Morrowind, but that they're shipped to Hammerfell to be put to use there, by various illegal operations. The scope of these operations depends fully on how far we want to go, of course, if we even want to go anywhere with it, but the clients might be anything from bandits who commandeered a mine and need a few extra hands to pirates who don't feel like doing the rowing/sailing themselves to the Dure Ungai for whatever they do to shady rich families who get their bread and butter through running illegal slave plantations. And lots of bread and butter, at that.

no slaves
