Welcome to the Tes F'Ruum

to begin there are of course rules in here, the same rules that apply to other places of the forum also apply to this. that means:

NO spamming
NO trolling
NO flaming

aside from that, sinde we're dealing here with the work of people, and with the ideas of people, we're strongly asking you to be civil at all times. rudeness and making a fool of someone or something will not be tolerated. constructive criticism is the word here.

and if you feel you cannot be civil about something, then please just ignore the thread and move on, lest you get yourself in trouble.


with that said, I wish everyone a lot of fun here, and hope to see this become a great place for mods and such.

on behalf of the moderator and admin team,

I'm unsure how the forum software would react in certain occasions, so instead of risking anything, I've reposted these two important posts in my own posts.

Originally by Jonajosa:



What is the library? Ill let Trokia answer this. It comes with alittle background also.

The Library of Tes F'Ruum is a community mod open to all fans of The Elder Scrolls series. The mod itself will be a library, housing books and other pieces written entirely by the fans of these games. That is why this mod is starting so early; we can collect the works now, get the spelling and Lore polished up before the game is released, and once it is, we can build the Library and place all the books inside.

There is a back-story to The Library that is still going through some development, and I'll be writing it as my Founders' Fate, but the main point agreed on so far is that The Library is a secret place. The Librarian, and the other people who helped establish The Library (The Founders), collected extremely rare books and texts, many of which contained great knowledge. Some of the works collected were labelled as heretical by the empire, and instead of shutting The Library down and having all the books lost forever, The Librarian moved The Library to a secret location, and by doing so was himself labelled an Heretic.

So, The Library became something like a secret society for scholars and people who saw past the empire's heretical label.

How do I contribute my work to the Libary? Well its easy. If you have any work that is fictional you send it to me, Jonajosa. If you have any work that is Non-Fiction then you send it to Stargazey.

Of course you could always send your work to Trokia or Corryn but it will eventually get sent to one of us anyway to deal with. So I recomend sending me or Stargazey your work.

You can also post your work here at the Tes F'Ruum sub-forum. Many others have done that so they could get some feedback on their work. Feel free to do so also if you want. But remember the rule for the Fiction sub-forums, which i will quote from Alex-

- A good level of spelling and grammar, as using a checking program is not always foolproof. Pieces will have to be read by hand, and this is time-consuming.
- A good knowledge of The Lore, if you intend editing pieces that contain information relating to Lore already in place.

If you match up to these then you can PM Corryn or Trokia and ask to be an editor. We could use all the help we can get and im sure you would be made an editor.

You could also help with the new website which is currently under construction by giving the designers ideas and way to organise things. If you keep that job up and do a good job( ) at it then you might get a password to actually do some of the work.

But the best way to contribute your services to the library would be to WRITE! Thats right, I said write. By giving us your work you would be making sure the library kept going good and strong. So keep writing all you people and if you arn't writing then nows the time to start.

"Give us your stroies!"- Trokia




How does the editing work? It goes like this in steps;

1) A piece of work is sent in lets say to me.
2) I take note of its name and author and send it off to a editor that is currently available.
3) The work is edited and sent back to me.
4) I go over it and correct any missed mistakes and then put it in the Holding Pen
5) From there it gets another going over before it gets sent finally to the waiting room from where it will be transfered into the game.

Some additional stuff may happen if we run into some problems with lore or somthing so be paitent if you don't see your story up on the website anytime soon.




What goes on in the actual editing? The work is taken and checked over and over for grammer, spelling and lore issues. Only in extreme circumstances will your story actually lose part of its work. Such as if there is any A rated material in a story it will be replaced with somthing more suitable of our choice. You will be notified of any changes and if you don't think our changes were good for your story and you wish to take back your work then you may do so.

Hope that answeres some of those questions.
