seeing as i cant touch any form of FREESPACE 2 moding cause this computer sucks(!), being until i either get a PCI videocard and figure out how to disable this onboared SIS vid-card, which horibly renderes FS1 and half life (lol), i am taking things back the the finest form of modding in FS......the story. I am either going to take the tremendous effort and write the entire FS2 storyline which could span like entire libraries or maybe just bits and pieces here and there like other people did. right now i am writing the story for the ND-Resolution campaign and possibly help with the eden project.
i am curious cause i always did like reading material for stories in voliton watch but that died quickly when no one was writing anymore. if anyone is interested feel free to let me know or if anyone wants to participate. hell if Shrike wants to make node war stories it would be welcomed too.
the only thing is i dont want to take this time and effort to make a story and not have it read so i am looking for enough people to motivate me. I am going to post a sample writing later on so people can get an idea of what to expect. please feel free to assist.

well yea sure. i mean i donthave to be the only writer. i mean if you have writings you would like posted or anyone, why not work togeather and put something togeather? i mean i know alot of people prefer the orignal story line but being that the game is sooooooo easilay manipualtable by modders around, i know there gotta be some guys itching to make stories or gain ideas for new campaigns. if anyone else is interested, -contact: [email protected] alright. beyond that i mean it could be anything from lil dialoges or notes to full stories u guys never posted or showed. thanks for the interests.

Personally I think that FS1 would make a better book. Better story. Unfortunately it's very difficult to write sci-fi because, well, how do you describe a death-black superdestroyer screaming through a subspace rift, annihilating everything in its path? (Well, there's one way...)

well thats the beauty of writing. through words you can give the reader a verbal description of a ship. thats why when i write, i talk in the context of a reader who doesnt know didaly squat about a Sathanas or Hecate destroyer. I do minor quick and sophisticated as well as easy to understand explenations to draw the reader deeper into the story and imagtination. plus i was gonna add some art to it to simplify matters even more but i feel my words are articulate enough not to do so (dunno yet i am still planing). already unknown readers of some previews i created enjoy the descriptions and intriguing indepth litirature i provided. the best thing of it all was the fact it didnt resemble any form of other sci-fi as in star trek or babylon five. bringing freespace back to its truest orignality. like i said before, the story. nothing else exhists but whats written. i am going to post a section of the story soon. i am working out consistancy and spelling lol. thanks for the insite!

Novelizing FS2 shouldn't be that hard, it just takes lots of work. I know it did when I wrote up FS1.
