Hello, I am one of the senior partners of a new online game studio who is looking to start fleshing out our new world/IP. I am looking to have a series of short stories written, describing the characters, factions, cultures and historical events that bring the story up to the point where the players will begin to influence the world. These stories will ultimately be sold to interested players as short novellas, with the funding provided as a way to generate revenue to begin game world design. Well written content that patrons enjoy may allow for additional stories to be written by the same author, allowing for continued work.

Hello, and thank you kindly for your consideration. As a tenured content writer (and admittedly more tenured gamer), I am especially attracted to this job listing for a number of reasons. First, as mentioned, I have been playing PC and console games since the mid-90s, many of them in the sci-fi genre (mass effect, SW battlefront, Oddworld franchise games, No Man's Sky, etc...) and have many hours of experience reading the dialogue myself. Secondly, I have developed content for 3 games this year. A point-and-click adventure set in Camelot's Court, a Star Wars card-style story game, and smaller snippets of copy for an HTML5 gaming website. Finally, and for the last iteration - I love video games. As such, I would not fly through this project as I clamber for the next one. I will enjoy every second and confer with you every step of the way to make sure that we are both pleased with the direction. Here comes the obligatory self-promotion. Sorry, it's part of the life. -I've written 450+ blog articles, press releases, academic journals, and stories in addition to the above mentioned video game content. -I'm a native English speaker with a background in professional editing. -I work full time as a writer. I'm versed in the latest APA and MLA guidelines. Hope to speak soon. Either way, best of luck. Nik Seras

Hi there, I'm replying in regards to the job advertised as I have some skills and experience that would be well suited for the task. I'm a creative writer with experience writing eBooks, short stories and screenplays, and am looking for a new project to get started on. Most of my experience has been writing within genres such as horror, fantasy, romance and young adult fiction, but I'm open to all genres and can alter my skills to suit the task needed. I think fantasy and young adult fiction is the most creative in regards to world building, characters and plot lines as there's no limit. If you like I can send some samples of my work to see if my style suits or I'm open to chat more about the task if you have time. Kind Regards, Lisa

Hey. I think I will be of great use to you. I have a knack for creative stories, and a science fiction IP is right up my alley, especially when it comes to world-building. I can help you create fleshed out characters, vibrant environments, and weave complex narratives. Once I have a clear idea of what I’m doing, I’m able to throw things together really quickly. I can have a selection of stories into you around Friday and Saturday. I’d be honored to be a part of this! Send me a message if you think I’m a good fit for you.

Hi, I am a student currently taking a break in my studies to apply for a masters program and discover what i would like to do in my life. your project deeply interests me as I've always seen myself as a person who loved telling stories. I have been an avid player of D&D style games as well as a frequent participant in improvisational theater while i was in university. As i am new to this field, i would like to offer my services at the lowest price available, currently, the lowest bit freelancer.com allows me to place is 225. Instead, I would love the opportunity to prove that i am capable of doing what you ask before i take your money. I am willing to provide a sample entries for your consideration once you have provided me with the general postulates of the world you are working on i.e (magic, technologies, natural phenomena) It will also be beneficial for you to provide me a general overview of the mechanics of the game, as that will better allow me to weave the gameplay into lore. Drawing of the foundation you have laid out for me, i can provide a series of sample entries for your consideration. If you find my preliminary work satisfying, we can move onto what i call "lore mapping", a process where we set out to build a framework of lore to keep everything in place and allow for easy expansion in the future. Finally, i will do the short stories.. I hope this will be the beginning of a interesting and enriching experience Thank you Daniel

I have experience writing content and creating stories for teens, young adults and also adults. I've been a gamer for almost 30 years, so I know how to enjoy a RPG, and what makes it good to continue gaming. I can create/develop characters, jobs, develop a personal story for each character (npc or pc), and add to the general story. I'm looking forward to get to know better your ideas. Thank you very much for reading.
