For Centuries, we have weaved the magic of literature. The simple yet potent magic of the written word is our power, dusty old tomes that lie in wait in ancient libraries, to handbills that are passed around the marketplace, we preserve knowledge and memory of the peoples.
And now a new power has arisen, bards, scribes, authors are uniting, and it is here, within the Temple of Lore that they shall weave forth their stories that inspire, shock, and terrify. Ok Folks, I had this thought. A new non-exclusive, non-elitist club of sorts, guild in this case, complete with ranks and a cool siggy 'privlege', I put that in quote marks because anyone can join for any reason, and call themselves any rank they want. The only thing I ask in return, is to sing for your supper. If you don't wish too however, that is fine. Write a short poem, or a long story, It does'nt have to be TES-related per se, but I want to keep this within forum rules as much as possible, I realize that this is borderline RP forum, so please help me keep it Fan Fic related, I will post 'ranks' just as an incentive, something to make people go 'wow, cool' I am a Bard in the Order of the Schola! At the same time we have a new focal point for short stories. Yes I know there are other threads that have this, but I start this in the same spirit that we open up new 'Coffee Shop' Threads, to keep it going. Ranks, from greatest to least. 1. Editor-in-Chief 2. Author 3. Freelance Journalist 4. Old Man on a porch with a glass of lemonade 5. Storyteller 6. Storytime Teller 7. Bard 8. Writer 9. Scribe 10. Apprentice P.S. Don PM me or anyone else asking of you can join, or if you can be a certain rank, the answer to all cases is "YES"! |

I think this is an excellent idea! We have talked for some time about our "Writer's Circle," here at Chorrol- what better way to symbolize it than with a guild? Count me in. (Of course, the fact that I have already posted 2 interminable stories makes it easy for me to be in favor!)

I'm so absolutely in!
 I've got a couple of fanfics hanging around here as well as my ongoing work with original stuff which can be found at another site.Note: I'm out of town for 8 days or so starting at friday next week. I'm already playing with the idea for a new series of stories that I might write. About a sort of secret agent in Tamriel. Ok, the Special Quest Agent (SQA) in service of Duke Dren. I think it could be funny.  -------------------- Fabulous hairneedle attack! I'm gonna be bald before I hit twenty.

Sounds like something I would be interested in. I wouldn't mind showing some of my other stuff I've written on these forums, for example, I have this one poem that I'm particularly proud of. I think I've all ready posted it though on a thread in the General Discussion section. Ibis made that thread.
I do have other things though. So count me in on this. If I was old I would say I was the Old Man on the Porch with a Glass of Lemonade, but I think I'm leaning towards Author or Storyteller. Of course, that could certainly be the ego talking there  I think I've referred to myself as a Scribe on this forum before.This post has been edited by The Metal Mallet: Sep 27 2006, 11:09 PM -------------------- I am currently a Writer in The Order of Schola.

Cool, we got three sign-ups already. Most of this is just formality as I said, anyone can join for any reason, though others are more inclined to symbolism than others (Us writers for example) if everyone wants to be Editor in Chief, everyone can be Editor in Chief, any 'rank' you want you can have, if you wish to 'earn' it in your own sense by each successive story you write, so be it. I just like the word 'Scribe' so I made that my 'Rank'...although I would be inclined to give Trey the rank of Editor in Chief due too what I feel is the sheer quality of his work, and the fact that he may be the one most responsible for inspiring most people to write in Fan Fiction.
I mean we're all supportive, nice people on this site, critisicm, constructive or otherwise, is rarely seen in Fan Fiction, even then its only given in extreme circumstances. So yeah, put me down for an 'aye' in making Treydog Editor-in-Chief...... |

QUOTE So yeah, put me down for an 'aye' in making Treydog Editor-in-Chief...... I second that motion. PS- Would there be any formality to where we post our "other works" I guess we'll call them? Like would they go in this thread or possibly another that is called "Works of the Schola(rs?)"? -------------------- I am currently a Writer in The Order of Schola.

I was assuming this one, and calling it the Temple of Lore....but that is also a good suggestion....Hmm,, This one is turning into the discussion thread it would seem.

The Temple of Lore sounds a bit cooler to me, we could use "Works of the Schola" as a subscript to the thread or whatever.
This one does seems more like a discussion thread, so I think it's best another thread for the written material be created. May I ask if the founder of the Guild is writing the first piece of Lore for the Temple? I think that would be the best way to start this. That is, if you're comfortable with that. -------------------- I am currently a Writer in The Order of Schola.

Just read your addition to the Temple, Jack, and I just got to say: "Wow!"
It definitely looked like you put a lot of work into that. I could literally feel the atmsophere of the piece, so lonely. I would have never thought I would have sympathy for an unsentient being, but you've made me feel that. Excellent stuff!  -------------------- I am currently a Writer in The Order of Schola.

Nice Work Trey, I found it funny, and it should have been ingame too!
Minque, dont worry, there is no rush here. When you are ready, you are ready. Dammit, and I still have to submit my work! |

Haha, nice flyer Trey. I can picture many a suck-- erm, applicant being interested in taking up the "adventure". Just look at the ones that operated the Dwemer Airship

Now that I've posted a second story I suppose I ought to join.
I'm not sure about a rank... I rather like the idea of morphing my writing identity to serve my passions. I'll just be a 'writer'. Postscript: Since my works tend to be short perhaps it would be best if I post them in the Temple instead of loose in the ether? -------------------- Read about Always-He-Lingers-in-the-Sun, a Blades assassin, in Killing in the Emperor's Name and The Dark Operation. And elsewhere.

Yes, that would be the best thing to do, canis. Your short stories are really good and it would be really cool if you submit some more to the Temple.
