Hey folks, I recently got approached by a modder at the official forums by the Name of Sandman101. Basically, he is putting together a mod called "H.E.L.L.U.V.A. Bountiful Books" Technically already in release, he is looking for work for another massive update.

If you are interested in seeing your fan fiction based on the world of Morrowind, truly IN the world of Morrowind, available from booksellers, added to a leveled list, that the player will encounter like other books in the game, this is your chance!

I will be approaching several of the writers I know via PM, for those of you that I have yet to meet, send all inquiries via PM to Sandman101
accessible through the link I provided at the top!


http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=778211 - Also. this is the 'official' release thread for anyone looking for additional information.

I see you reading this Kitchen.Sink! Your writing is particularly delectable. I think you should do it....(peerpressure)

[Sandman101]

Thanks for the kind words Black Hand.
Just wanted to add a little to what you said.

Some things you may want to know about before submitting your writing:
None of your work will be changed.
You still retain all of your rights to it. I can remove or update it at any time.
Credit where credit is due. It's your work, you deserve it. All I'm doing inserting it.
I consider this a Community project.
The ID's in the Construction set will have a letter code for your name, i.e. Black Hand would be BH. This will be noted in the Thanks sheet that I include with each mod. This is for easy identification of the author. Please let me know what name you would like it under if you have more than one.
Any extra notes that you would like in the text can be added. It can also be added so that it's not visible in game but in the CS.
The CS uses, IIRC, HTML so I have to insert <br> (break) into the text a lot for the game engine to read it properly.
If you would like images, I can also do that. If you have them great. If not, we can discuss what your looking for. I will do everything I can to accommodate you.
If you decide that some changes in the story are absolutely necessary after submitting it to me, I will do everything I can to accommodate you.
The one thing I ask is that I have enough material to warrant an update(unless it's a bug fix). Usually this would mean about 5 to 10 stories.


This mod would be very small indeed without the work of great writers like you. If you think your work is good enough to be in this, that's good enough for me. Standards would dictate no explicit material.

This small site will give you more info about the overall project and it's intent and goals.

Thank you!
Sandman101

Hey, Sandman, I'd like to thank you for taking my submissions for the earlier release. I don't think I ever thanked you in the thread over at BGSF, and I definitely should have. Thanks, and hopefully I can get something to you this time around as well.

[Sandman101]

Hey Redsrock! [waves]
Thanks! Though I don't feel I really deserve any. After all, I'm just the "publisher", The writing is the hard work.
Looks like you've been busy from the amount of work you have in your sub-forum (hint,hint)

[redsrock]

Lol, I get ya'. I'd have to check and see what I submitted to you last time.

[Sandman101]

Lol, I get ya'. I'd have to check and see what I submitted to you last time.

The Road to Glory
Rockthorn Island Massacre
Murder in The Capitol City
The Adventures of Roderick
Thieves Guild
The Accounts of Rayden

I'm not sure if you've added to these works since then. If you have I'll update them.

[redsrock]

Ok, I'll take a look. Thanks.

[Sandman101]

First I just want to apologize to everybody that has submitted their work to this project recently.
I am working on inputting everything right now.
My right arm was injured and I could not use a mouse or type for almost 2 weeks.
It's much better now. IU hope to have every thing done in a few days. Test some and then I'll upload it to PES.

Thanks for you patience!

I also just wanted to share that it is very easy to put material into Morrowind using MWedit. You can copy and paste into it. IMorrowind uses a limited/basic HTML code. It's just a matter of putting in the "<BR>"'s in at frequent intervals, between the text. The code can be copied and pasted from stock books.

I'm not 100% sure on the actual number, but the most characters I have fit in one book was 64,348 characters.
Black Hands "The Tale of Sethyas Velas" took 16 books!

Ohhh my my...I wonder how many books Serene will be. You'll get it, but I think it should be finished first...

Take care of your arm so you do not overdo anything..it can be fatal

[Black Hand]

Ah, I was wondering what the break was about. Good to hear you are on top of things, and that you're doing okay. Anything you need, you let me know!

[Sandman101]

Hey everybody! I must apologize that it's taken me this log to get the next update ready. There has been a lot of punctuation to correct as when copy and pasting certain documents into MWEdit they don't transfer properly. I have to go back and fix it by hand. As you know some of the stories are quite long. My arm is better, but it's been slow healing. Still seeing the chiropractor regularly.

The last one that Alexander sent me was titled "Main Story" No author is listed. Can somebody identify this for me?

The year is 3E 432 many things have changed since the return of the lord Nerevar, and even more things are changing. Four Great Houses have a new head. The Tribunal gods are slain. Temple doctrine is falling and failing rapidly. Oppression of other faiths has been removed. Many rumours float around, rumours of things unheard of in the very near past; The lord Nerevar wants to abolish slavery, Indoril generals are taking bribes and forsaking their honour, some or all of the Tribunal gods were killed by the lord Nerevar, the lord Nerevar used the powers of the heart of Lorkhan to make himself immortal and godlike, secret cults are rising in Cyrodiil, Imperial legions are being recalled to Cyrodiil to quell the unrest, king Helseth poisoned the last king, Mehrunes Dagon has come to earth in the guise of queen Barenziah, Sheogorath has started a love affair with Azura, Bosmer everywhere are planning the end of the world, Orcs have taken to worshipping Khajiit instead of Malacath.

Some rumours are a bit wilder then others of course, but if only half of them are true the future promises to be spectacular.

This story starts in Ebonheart, in the Grand Council chambers where the lord Nerevar is preparing for what could be the most important council meeting in many years.

Chapter 1. Change, for better or worse.

It did not take a keen eye to see lord Nerevar was troubled. And Varvur was most definitely keen of eye. Having been born a nobleman, he had studied with the some of the best warriors of his time. His entire life had been spent training to become a superior warrior, and so he was overjoyed when not a month past he’d been asked to become the new bodyguard of lord Nerevar. So glad he was of being able to finally help the lord Nerevar after everything he’d done for him and his family, having risked life and limb to save Varvur from the old Arch master. It was almost enough to forget the circumstances leading up to it his appointment to this prestigious post. The old bodyguard had turned out to be a spy, and ended his own life before anyone could find out who he was working for. Rumours still swirled that people in Nerevar’s own house wanted him dead. But no matter, Varvur was here now and would do what he could to protect lord Nerevar from harm. On the day he’d first come in he had promised to give his life for lord Nerevar.

But thankfully it wouldn’t come to that. In a small while lord Nerevar would preside over the Grand Council meeting where he would proclaim judgement on the dishonourable Indoril. Last night he’d confided in Varvur. “Finally,” he’d said, “finally I know who’s been behind all this from the start.” Of course Varvur had offered to go after the wicked men or man himself and bring them to justice before the lord, but Nerevar would have none of it. “I fear Varvur, this one is beyond your grasp. No, it’s better to wait until the morrow where I proclaim him guilty before the Grand Council. What better occasion than this, where I rid the realm of both slavery and at least a major part of its corruption.”

Thanks for any help.

That is the story by Alexander himself!

[Sandman101]

That's what I thought. I Just wanted to make sure. I was hoping to have this uploaded in a few days but the current hurricanes that are coming into the gulf may interrupt my plans.
Thanks Black Hand!
