How about those of us who like to write fiction teaming up to put out a netbook compilation? The Fraternity of Shadows has graciously volunteered to host this project and I will edit it. Would anybody be interested in submitting some good . . . Well, evil fiction? Jeff Davis www.jeffreyadavis.tk

#3 zombiegleemax Dec 04, 2003 10:02:53	Here are the guidelines for the project, which has a working title of Tales of the Mists : 1. The title isn't set in (grave)stone yet, so please feel free to give input on it. 2. Stories from any land of Ravenloft can be used. This includes both canon and non-canon, though they must have been published in some form, such as one of the netbooks. If your story takes place in a non-canon land, please include the source where the description of this land can be found in your initial query. 3. Unfortunately, I know nothing about MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, so I would be a poor critic of fiction set there. As of now, let's keep this collection in the Land of the Mists. 4. In keeping with Wizards of the Coast policy, keep the stories at a PG-13 level, at least with regard to sexuality. TO SLEEP WITH EVIL is generally considered the most mature Ravenloft novel, so let's keep our stories from being more mature than that. 5. While this collection won't necessarily be canon, it should compliment canon. In other words, we can't kill off any major characters. Darklords should never be allowed to overcome their curses, so we can't let Strahd have Tatyana, no matter how much we feel sorry for the big guy. 6. If you'd like to donate a story that you've written (or will write) to this project, send me a synopsis of the story to [email]adventureauthor@lycos.com[/email]. If accepted, I will e-mail you with my personal e-mail address, to which you would send the completed story as an attachment. We are going for a max of twenty stories, so get those ideas in soon! 7. The deadline for the initial queries is March 31, 2004. The deadline for the completed story is August 1, 2004. I'm shooting for a Halloween of 2004 release date. ________________________________________________________________________ Jeff Davis www.jeffreyadavis.tk
