Cryptic clues for a game need writing

We need 110 cryptic clues written for a Hidden Object game we are making. The Hidden Object game genre requires the player to find and tap/click a number of objects concealed in a crowded image displayed on screen. Each object needing to be found is usually listed using a simple word such as "clock". The cryptic clues provide a second level of difficulty to the game so the player may be tempted to play through another time. An example cryptic clue is: "watch the seconds go by". Formatting: The clues need to be written into a 'script' file that gets read into the game by its code. Here is an example: It's pretty easy. All you need is a word processor that can read XML files (I think that's pretty common in all text editors now). The XML files will be provided by us, as will a copy of the (nearly finished) game. Style: The clues need to conform broadly to ideas that would have existed in the early 19th Century (Jane Austen's time). This is required as the game is set in that period. We need these clues written pretty quickly - 2-3 days would be good!

My hours per week says 10 but in truth I will work on your cryptic clues as fast and for as long as I can manage, I can most assuredly have them ready within the given time period. As I myself am an avid gamer I would enjoy and am willing to write these clues for a lower rate than the stated minimum; in the end knowing that I somehow contributed to the creation of a game is worth more than money to me. I hope you give my offer some serious consideration, I would very much so like to help you with your game! If what I've written here isn't already a testament to my abilities, I'll gladly write an example for you.

Dear Gihan39, Ah, a perfect match, perchance? I know I'm a newcomer here, but I've been a senior writer/editor for over 10 years in England (now in Italy). I do tough cryptic crosswords daily and also devise clues. Furthermore, I've also read most Austen novels (and other 19th c. writers such as Dickens) so I am familiar with both the language and the lifestyle of that period, if you want that incorporated into the XML script. Ready to work like a housemaid for 2-3 days in your service. Happy with either hourly or project rate - negotiable to give you the best deal. So please throw your gloves at the competitors and wave your handkerchief at me. You will not be disappointed, Sir. Yours truly, Julietgn
