Would anyone be interested in this story? I haven't worked on it in quite some time, but I would be willing to rewrite it as an online novel for the Planescape community.

I wouldn't mind reading it. More fan work for PS can only be a good thing after all Cool.

Sounds intriguing. What is it about (other than a sword and Acheron)?

It's based on the character who "wrote" the Acheron letters.

The more fiction the better Smiling
I'm curious to see where you go with it. How much have you already written out fully, or outlined?

But yeah, do share. Smiling

Says the fiend who just dropped a 40 page bit of work on the forums. Eye-wink

I stopped writing it because it had seemed to go nowhere and the text was, well, crappy at best. It needed severe revision amongst other things. I still liked the opening scene, but I'm thinking of including that later in the text as part of a series of flashbacks to explain how the character got to Acheron and his current situation in the first place. After all, he was just supposed to write a series of letters.. :shock:

Okay, I found my notebook yesterday that had the story written in it. Now, to apply my latest skills for plot design and scene & structure before I get back into it.

My new opening for the story will be Calix scrambling for shelter from an impending cube impact. :twisted:

Count me in as those interested. I found those Acheron letters to be some of the most intriguing of all the erstwhile PS material; it'd be great to see how it gets fleshed out.

Wow, thanks! I wasn't aware that my writings had such an impact on people's campaigns.
