[A Man of Gondor]

Any writers out here?  Preferably any with fantasy works, as I'm a fan of it.  Sorry if you guys don't welcome anything this random, I'm too used to the Bungie forums.

Welcome, and congrats on your first post lol. If you're looking for fanfiction and such, you could start looking in the fan-creations section. There's some great talent over there

Yes, but not fanfic.

Yes, but not fanfic.

Feel free to send me some if you'd like!  I personally prefer non-fanfiction.

Welcome to the forums. Pumped for Destiny beta tomorrow.

You should check out Jukepop if you like original fiction. There's some awesome serials on there, including lots of fantasy.

[SerCambria358]

Oh no

[Rawgrim]

I write lore and modules etc for an rpg company. Does that count?

[Heimdall]

I write fanfiction, been planning a longer non-fanfiction piece though

[Fidite Nemini]

Belongs to offtopic.

I do write.  But I plan to have a future in game development, so most of the stuff I write now I stash away in a portfolio for future stuff.  Only in my second year of programming/software dev though, so still have lots of time before school's done.

I've been writing forever though.

Does anyone know how one would go about getting stuff published?

[Aaleel]

I've been writing since forever. I have a long fantasy piece I started writing as comics when I was a kid. I've since since converted it all into a non-fiction piece. I've always gone back and forth on whether or not to try and get it published.

I looked into it once so I can share what little bit I know about the process.

You really just need to research agents and publishers and then submit inquiries to them following whatever guidelines they lay out. Start working on letter, synopsis of your work that will give a general idea of it as most publishers and agents will not want a full manuscript right from the start. You would need to sell them in a short letter and make them want to ask for a larger piece or the full manuscript. From what I could tell agents weren't required but they greatly increased your chances of being published, so you would need to sell one of them on the work first.

I've only ever written for a NWN module I made where I had to write dialogues and so such. I'm never doing a mod again especially one like that which requires you to write like you're doing an essay for top marks. Besides I simply don't have time for that stuff anymore...

[DuskWanderer]

Published author myself, but not in fantasy.

[Aurawolf]

I write a webcomic (see below in signature). Also working freelance atm waiting on some things to get published but nothing in fantasy other than for personal reasons.

I went to school for Game Design and got a webcomic out of what I learned, right now the game industry is really hard to get into without knowing someone or having some experience but as a programmer you stand a better chance.

....Yeah. I'm currently finishing my first legit novel. (been writing for years but only for fun)

 

I wish I had thought of using a place like this for my beta reading. I tried to get some of my friends to help but they all flaked out on me *frowns* I'm almost completely finished with revisions, now. Maybe I'll put it in off topic once I'm done.

 

Oh, and welcome!

[Melcolloien]

I am working on a fantasy series set in "viking" Scandinavia...sort off...
It's going incredible slow though xD
Other than that, Pirates of the Caribbean and Dragon Age fanfictions

[Lucky Thirteen]

yes, but Sci-Fi.  Lightspeed does both original sci-fi & fantasy short stories: http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/

 

want to submit to them some day, but don't know what yet.

My friends were great when it came to reading mine, the one agent I did actually talk to though

He wanted me to make some changes that I just couldn't stomach and I haven't looked into publishing since then.

[Liamv2]

I write like 5 to 10 pages of stuff get a new idea and forget about it. I have 12 things that i've started but never gone any further.

[Nate Assassin]

I wrote the story of Shrek.
