[REQ] Childrens stories

Post » Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:58 pm

In Pelagiad Expanded, there is a schoolhouse for children up through teenagers that I'm designing. Not only that but many of the denizens have kids, too. So I'm looking for childrens stories to use as in-game books. I didn't find anything in these threads, although I didn't go through all 41 pages but none of the old pages had anything.

Would anyone be interested in writing short children stories? You'd get credit in the Readme of course. I'm looking for stuff that is the equivalent of Dr. Seuss and the like. Or maybe even picture books with just a few words. Stuff like that.

Here's the schoolhouse so far: http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/722/schoolhouse.jpg

try existing stories. ABC's for Barbarians, Moarbor's Sul's Dwemer stories, and anything that tells a story about a hero (Vernaccius and Borlor, etc.)

Not the Daggerfall vrsion of "the real Barenzia"

I might be able to knock something up if I find the time. It would be a good idea to adapt real fables/fairy tales and classic childerens stories to an elderscrolls universe too :)

If you're still looking for someone, I'd love to help. I'm new to these forums, and I'm still getting the hang of modding, but in the meantime I'd like to start getting involved in the modding community in any way possible. It just so happens that creative writing is my specialty, and I honestly think I'd be able to give you just what you're looking for. I like the look of your mod, so let me know if you'd like my help.

By the way, feel free to message me with any questions you might have; I can also provide writing samples, if that will help you decide whether I'm right for the job.

Thanks. I sent you a PM a couple days ago.

Emma's 'Children of Morrowind' has some books of fairy tales - maybe you could ask her for permission to use them?

I just looked into that, and the books themselves are from the mod "Fairytales of Vvardenfell" by Princess Stomper.

I already have Fairytales of Vvardenfell books (all four volumes) in the mod already. I'm looking more for books like Grimms Fairy Tales and stuff. Amatsu has some great ideas too. I just need to reply to his PM. hehe
