Greetings,

First, let me apologize for having posted this twice since yesterday; I had hoped to get a bit more of a response, though maybe locking the thread wasn't the best idea.

To get back on topic, though; I am currently working on a project that includes the construction of a library. However, when I started this, I decided plain, useless books were no fun, eh? My goal is to use The Elder Scrolls as a model with the idea that you should be able to read any book you see.

Thus, that is what brings me here. I have written a few pieces, but I cannot possibly hope to fill up an entire library by myself. Besides, seeing "By Benzo Tal'gin" on every cover wouldn't be much fun either.
If anyone reading this has a short story, a poem, a play, really any piece of writing at all, (preferably medieval and/or fantasy themed) and are willing to let me use it, I will gladly look it over. Should I like the piece, I will create it into a useable model, with a unique cover, and give entire rights to the author. The model itself will also be given as a free model, for the author to be able to use in their own games.

One last note; Remember, medieval/fantasy theme preferred, and if you have an RP name, I would prefer to use that for any "Written by" rather than a username.

Many thanks to any help on this.

This is actually a really good idea. Plus, you came to a good forum for this.
Have I written stuff? You bet.
Medieval/fantasy? Surprisingly, not a lot.

I'd be more than happy to take a look at anything you have. Poems and such don't always have the strongest fantasy presence, but could still work for my library.
Folks can even give me tales about their clans doing battle with others or make an entire history up for a fictional land. I can't afford to be too picky right now, haha.

Alright, I'll just post up links and you can sift through them.

(and to make it easy, I'll even label the links)
Payback (short story) (finished) http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=152716600
Theodore Thompson (short story) (semi-unfinished, depends on how you look at it) (sci-fi, if you like that stuff) http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=153774575
Punchline (short story; prompt) http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=153995927
Around the Bend (short story; prompt) http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=154064526
my Asteroid Story (VERY old) (References RPers, so it's probably not a good choice since you know none of them) http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=136786870
Wolves (short story) (also kinda old) http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=149596826

That's all the stuff I can find for right now; no doubt I've made more but eh. this is what I found; wish you good luck!

@ PickachuGirl

I'm afraid that might be a wee bit too on the modern side; this library is for the Knights of RedCliff, I should mention. (KoR Themes are not at all required)
However, as a matter of principal, I will thank you for being willing to show me it for consideration. As such, here is your book:
http://www.roblox.com/I-Am-Burning-Eternally-item?id=246379906

(The cover will appear properly in the thumbnail once the decal uploads; placing it in game should show the proper cover)

And I will take a look at this in just a wee bit, PurringThunder.

I have actually written few stories; I tend to write more RPs. The reason why I do not know.

However, if you're willing to wait a small amount of time (Like maybe a month until my school's over and then about an hour or two for me to write up whatever crappy idea comes to mind) I'd be more than willing to comply.

Also, I once had this same idea, but I also decided that I'd try to use it as a money-earning platform by sectioning off certain sections of the library and asking for gamepasses. Most of those sections, when I was planning this out in my head, were for individual series, so you'd pay to read the entire series of short stories. Just another concept for you to take into consideration, should you so desire.

Aye, no problem.
How the model works, I should mention, is simply by walking within range and clicking on it. Next page and previous page in the two corners should be self explanatory; and to close the book, click it again, walk away, or click the X in the top right corner.
*I take absolutely no credit for creating the original model of this book.*

I ended up editing it a bit more than I had intended, and might edit it moreso for the library. Thanks for letting me use it.

It's been one hundred years since the second invasion of the Higherworlders... the mortal world has recovered yet greatly, although, a new threat arises. Good-king Morpheus of the Chironrag Sovereign has been assassinated. Some people suspect it was by the Gemian Kingdom or maybe a group of assassins hired by a noble trying to acclaim the throne of the great nation.

Though, with the new technological advancements of railed transportation and firearms, war has been stalled in a race to create the best firearm. The Gemian Kingdom, unstable for many years now since the Herov Privateers had plundered their ports and conquered the capital, is now desperate to get back in the firearms race and would do almost anything to get to the top. Possibly even murder.

And even over all of that, new lands have been discovered due to the Sovereign's Expedition. Five more continents with new people and culture have been found. Trade and alliances have been attempted at being made with some of the natives but secretly have been setting up colonies underground and harvesting their resources.


~By me

The first historical account about the invasion of the Higherworlders was a large storm at a village and then a spherical shape plunged into the earth and stuck itself in the middle of the village. A little time later, they burst out wielding hatchets, bows, weapons with dual sided blades, and massacred the village. Priests from all over the lands came and created a magical ward around the village to prevent the invaders to proceed with their conquest. It took ten months to vanquish them and destroy their contraption. Over the next hundred years, civilization lived in peace and harmony again until a group of six explorers found a similar device used in the first invasion but was much larger and rusty. Everyone thought it was broken so they decided to leave it alone... little did they know that it was a massive portal and the next invasion would come soon unless a group of adventurers, and heroes, were to stop it and shut out the portal forever.
