A Tale of Twenty Writers


Pavement Artist

Recommended Posts

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

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?

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?

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***

@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 :)

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 :Troops:

 

November is the deadline? Blimey, I might be able to get a couple done by then now ETL is finished :)

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

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.
