Fiction!

Post by Pansen »

Hey,

What's the deal with getting oolite/elite fiction posted on the elite wiki? Have been working on a short story (not yet finished) and was wondering how to upload material and if I need to have it 'approved' by anyone.

Cheers.

I'm not too sure about the wiki procedures.
But one way to gain swift appreciation, and some impromptu proofreading, critique, and grammar fixing for your yarn is to post it up in the fiction section of the forums.

I'm looking forward to reading another tale from the Void! :)

To get a Wiki account you need to send a private message to Winston. Problem is that he is not often on here.

Alternatively you could get one of the Wiki editors to put it up for you. I can do that if you want...

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge. 8)
Thanks to Gimi, I got an eBook in my inbox tonight (31st May 2014 - Release of Elite Reclamation)!

Hi Pansen,

I'd suggest posting your story in the Fiction Forum first - let us coo and prod it for a bit and then, if you think it needs any "adjustments" - you can make them and then give the shiny new (typo free etc) to somebody like JazHaz to post into the wiki for you if Winston hasn't set you up an account first...

Thanks for the replies. When I've completed a reasonable chunk of the story, I'll post it on the fiction forum, and see what you think!
