Recently I've begun lacking projects to write for, as most of these continue to unfortunately crumble or never pick up to begin with, as I'm a fan of the from scratch, massive, radical projects, making for little potential energy and inertia as it were.

So, I'm offering my services to any mod team that will have me in a sense, which are in need my skills with the written word and will continue to thrive after my expenditure of time.

In essence I do six areas;

Story Design : These are more simply discussions on a story, trying to lead in to the game or lead from the game to this and tieing it altogether for teams. It is really focused on my input for how the conflict came about, how it will be resolved, and what will happen as a result of that resolution, or whatever parts are necessary.

Story Writing : Actual writing of a discussed storyline, such as script, backstory, lore and quests if that is your fancy, et cetera. This can range in necessary or desired intensity from a simple few paragraphs of what one may considered "fireside rhetoric" or a tale using minimal words and vast descriptions to cover a simple point, or to a long-winded epic highlighting numerous characters, events, environments, and so on.

Story Editing : For those of you with a story on hand that needs some revision, or rewriting more than likely, perhaps to press a new life into the mundane descriptions of what would otherwise be powerful in drawing a person into the ambience or is so barren that few people discern what is happening.

The same goes for all three processes with a concept, this can involve brainstorming, design documents, and input into those documents where necessary.

My greatest strengths are on fantasy and philosophical, though basically any form I can cover albeit the rather ordinary is far from my fortee, and rarely will I cover the macabre such as zombie attacks or true historical occurences, though if sold right or if a consideration (one where we lack proper information and simply take from the time to fuel the world) or alternate history, then it is doable.

However, from you I need something tangible to the eyes, in other words media, a website, some sort of direction and a team to give it, as well as an evolution or revolution of a genre. Even if you are just somewhere along those lines, feel free to ask, the worst I can do is turn you down, and often I'll sit for at least a few hours to give better direction, but, my main hope is to find a few teams direly in need of revitilization through story or an expanding of horizons and material.

An example can be found Moddb.com and is representative with my work through machinations and intrigue, but is not my greatest subject or writing by far. But, it does include some better design processes of a game genre which I don't tend to play, that of RTS, giving a pseudo-look into my breadth of talent.

I more than likely won't be checking back here, so feel free to PM or email me, you can figure guess how...

Well, Vangor, we'd sure really like someone of your caliber to join our mod, seeing as how we still haven't gotten the concept done yet. We're still having issues dealing with the layout of Multiplayer and how the story will tie in.

However, I don't really know if you would want to join right now, seeing as how we've hit sort of a wall, so if you're open later, I'd be really grateful if you would help us out then. :)

P.S. Yes, indeed, your work is really nice. I'm happy to see someone with such... vernacular. :)

Thanks for the words frosty...

Karuto, I'm open in terms of time, send me an overview of what you hope me to accomplish with masamune, and we'll go from there, walls are always hit, I hit thousands when I'm selling off a mod, few get off the ground, I'll gladly hit another.

Just bumping this back up, I've gotten a few emails, pms, and people searching me out, but I can freely wonder through people if need be, so, if you think you are too late, it really never is, and often if you venture through irc.gamesurge.net #bluewolf72 then you cna chat with me even if only looking for consideration and not my employment.
