I have this idea of letting players submit their own Eve-Chronicles on the official website. Let players help record Eve history by writing their own chronicles on events that have happened in the past, battles that were fought and alliances that fell. Everything would have to be strictly in-character though.
Good idea? Yes/No?

Would be awesome if it could be kept without too much bias/flaming and propaganda... maybe one story from each side of the conflict, and aim at writing it entertaining instead? Nice idea though!
Would be cool with some video links in the middle of the story for some of the battles too! You Call.. Gonna be all over, baby. |

yeah definitely a good idea

It'd be cool if it could work, but all stories would be bias, I doubt CCP would take player submitted work, but it would be cool to design your own chronicles site, you have people submit their work and decide what to put on. _________________________________________________________

Originally by: Soren It'd be cool if it could work, but all stories would be bias, I doubt CCP would take player submitted work, but it would be cool to design your own chronicles site, you have people submit their work and decide what to put on.
not only that, but lots of people would start submitting, either a) causing a flood on the website and making it run (even) slower or b) taking CCP's time away from the game and putting it on player submitted stories (editing, formating, web publishing, etc). Like the idea of a player run site for such as this, and wholly support the idea. Perhaps CCP can keep tabs on the player run site, and then if something good comes along, they can make arrangements for posting on the offical site. - Bunny is not currently here. He is on a SpecOps mission to kill the leader of a small third world country, the first step on the road to world domination. |

I think I remember someone stating somewhere (nice and precise!) that the story people at CCP are not developers, or anything else other than story writers. If thats the case then it wouldn't be taking away from the game in any way, but it might overload the writers who have to proof and approve player submitted stories
Also, the "player submitted stories" idea sort of relates to the Intergalactic Summit and Library forums. On one hand we have an unmoderated (in comparison to Vegetas idea) place for writing our stories, but on the other they don't generally have much to do with the main story of Eve. Perhaps whenever something "good" is posted in the Summit or the Library the CCP writers could take it (polish if necessary) and include it in the Eve Chronicles or Short Stories section (with the authors permission?).
However it works, it would be neat seeing some of the more talented writers in the Eve community getting their work included in the main story line

I am reasonably sure some of the Eve-chronicles actually are by some players. I think it's some of the older ones, from before the game was released and all the community had to salivate over was the material and the yearly-released Peek Of The Week. ------------
We come in peace. And tanks. |

This sounds good, and I imagine that because of your fantastic story concerning your life in EVE, and all of the rave reviews you received, this is why you suggested it....
Good suggestion. You'll do well writing.
