Pavement Artist Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hey folks. Inspired by the Horus Heresy tale of 20 gamers hobby thread rocking around the forums, i thought it'd be nice to band the aspiring writers of this forum together to try something similar. This is the basic premise: Those interested may submit a short story based on a Legion of their choice. Story length is between 2,000-10,000 words and Legions are on a first come, first served basis. To round it up to 20, stories about Custodes and Sisters of silence are also welcome. So to bagsy your chosen legion, just shout out on here and i'll add your name in: LEGIONS I Dark Angels- Ferrus Manus III- Emperor's Children- Darnath Lysander IV Iron Warriors - ChaptermasterDemon7 V White Scars- ThisisJimmy VI Space Wolves- Aquilanus VII Imperial Fists- Olisredan VIII Night lords- 1000Heathens IX Blood Angels- The Emperor 111 X Iron Hands- Deus Ex Ferrum XII World Eaters- Chapter master Onyxius XIII Ultramarines- Captain Idaho XIV Death Guard- GooseDaMoose XV Thousand Sons- Dominicus XVI Sons of Horus- Captain Uriel Ventris XVII Word Bearers- Dark Apostle Thirst XVIII Salamanders-Rune Priest Ridcully XIX Raven Guard- Calgar 101 XX Alpha Legion- Witchunter Kraine (Sorry :P) Sisters of silence- Adeptus Custodes- Alkana Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259579-a-tale-of-twenty-writers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Onyxius Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 World Eaters for me! ;) EDIT: Is this after the revealing of Horus's betrayal or before the occurence of Davin and the scheming of betrayal?

Captain Idaho Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 What's the theme? As in, what timeframe, should it be completely unique or would known characters within the Heresy be free reign? Also, I'm still working on a presentation for the Army right now, so aren't actually free until after the 19th September. If there was sufficient time to work on a story, I'd be up for Ultramarines?

Pavement Artist Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Cheers guys. The basic timeframe is going to be post Istvaan, age of darkness era. That being said, if you have an idea for a great story set before then, you are more than welcome to do that instead. In terms of time frame, i was thinking until Nov, which should give people ample time to clear other projects. I'd prefer it if you could submit the stories in their entirety as opposed to several separate parts, purely so we can keep things nice and tidy for readers, rather than have people search for several parts over how many pages. Ill probably rock a separate thread up for our finished stories to make it more accessible to folks on here. Captain Idaho: You've got acres of time mate, story by november ok for you?

Captain Idaho Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Oh perfect. I intend to get back into my (loose) commitments on the board and my other projects as soon as the presentation is done with, so I'm all for this! Sign me up for Ultramarines then. :) ***Just realised you already put me on the list! Good show*** Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259579-a-tale-of-twenty-writers/#findComment-3158347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavement Artist Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 That's absolutely fine my man. And yus, i popped you up there already. It's the writers equivalent of smacking you around the head with a kosh and signing you up for the imperial navy. You're in now!

The Emperor 111 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 @witchhunter khain do you think we should almost have it so that if theyre put together they complement each other?

Pavement Artist Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 @witchhunter khain do you think we should almost have it so that if theyre put together they complement each other? The Emperor I wouldn't worry about it too much mate. It'd be neat, but it might be more limiting. The age of darkness is a pretty big canvas to work with. I mainly started this thread to see what you folks could come up with. Just tell your own story and have fun with it :) Chapter master Demon7: You're in my man.

Captain Idaho Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Do we have a rough word count to aim for? Or is War and Peace size ok? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259579-a-tale-of-twenty-writers/#findComment-3158540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Do we have a rough word count to aim for? Or is War and Peace size ok? First post says 2 to 10k, so should be enough to write something good November is the deadline? Blimey, I might be able to get a couple done by then now ETL is finished :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259579-a-tale-of-twenty-writers/#findComment-3158547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavement Artist Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well i gave it plenty of time because i didn't want it to be a super formal thing where people felt pressured into rushing their stories. I think over all it will make the quality better :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259579-a-tale-of-twenty-writers/#findComment-3158551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Onyxius Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 yeah rushing isn't good for writing, or so they say <_<. Anyways is it ok if I write something up during Isstavan III or V? Would be interesting to learn how the World Eater got their new colour scheme for Khorne ^_^. Anyways Cheers mate for making this thread, always wanted to write about Horus Heresy era :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259579-a-tale-of-twenty-writers/#findComment-3158561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demus Ragnok Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Would anyone have objections to my posting a story about the II Legion. Yes that is 2 as in second. They were long gone before the heresy. But after reading TFH I wonder how much the untold story of the 2nd and eleventh affected Lorgar and the other primarchs.
