You've seen some of us writing stories, and if you've ever thought, "I want to do something like that.", then here's your chance. I'm putting together a collection of Quake short stories, and you can contribute your own story to the collection. A few things to mention: - Does not have to be my set-up for Quake (as in, it doesn't have to have anything to do with my stories) - No one/two-paragraph stories. It should be a decent-sized short story. (At least four or five paragraphs minimum) - Nothing that humiliates or degrades someone, unless you get their permission. Telling a story like this but with anonymous names is okay, though, as long as you don't hint to who you're insulting. - Please send me your stories via e-mail at lapras316@hotmail.com Make a subject like, "Quake Story Collection" or something similar or I will think it's junk mail. This is a serious project, and there is no deadline, so if you want to participate take all the time you want. geocities.com/quadraptor/qscollection.html

Something else, your work doesn't necessarily have to be fiction, either. If you wanted you could write like a documentary and that would be cool. (Example: An elaboration of what a Grunt is and why they fight Quake Marines; Your favorite Rune Quake tactics; ect.)
Just a throwout. I'd like to get at least one more work in before I open the page, but I've got Bank's story and a new one of mine so far.

I guess I'll start.. you get 5 words each but you don't have to use all 5 words. Except for the starting line because it's special. Once upon a time in the Quakelands..

five words is far too few. Paragraph each.
(And Quad, dont allow strategy guides. They're about as interesting as Foqer's signiture.)

The site is released now. I've got four stories so far. geocities.com/quadraptor/qscollection.htmlBy the way, when it comes to "strategy guides" I'll look over ones people offer and see if they're more opinion/tip based rather than what everyone already knows. Death Knights actually has some interesting stuff in it, so I decided to include it, but anything that's common knowledge I don't plan to add.

One last thing - multiple author submissions would be awesome.

One last thing - Joint or otherwise multiple author submissions would be awesome. Completely off topic and showing my age as well, BUT, a JOINT sounds like a capital idea at the moment!! ;D
