The Writers Guild of Steam!!

I'd quite like it. I enjoy reading but have never wrote anything. I'm interested in writing something though. Nonetheless I'd love to join.

(NaNo is also currently ongoing, which should help make recruitment easier. But just because there's a group for everything, doesn't mean those groups succeed.)

I would love to join a Steam writing group!
I'm currently working on a novel and I've done a lot of critical work (reviews and such) on my blog.
It's my passion, but it sure is a lonely one.

I am writing a book right now, but it's sloooow going.

And i have a library of thousands of books ( mostly dangerous towers, history, ecology, social, politics, biographies, ethnology... )

I'd gladly join :-)

Ah, creative writing is my passion. But the problem is I do it in my language. When it comes to the richness of language, I can assure that my mother tongue is far superior to English (that is if I even master English).

And even so,that is to say, I have my own group that prefer reading my work in my mother tongue. It is not just about language problem but also choice, narrow, focus of the group you are trying to create.

Let's say that even all work is in English, and since English is a major language, what can you do to differentiate that group compare to other existing groups. Also, problem with professionalism, copyrights, incentives, and ability to protect your own ideas must also be assured. I can assure that top hit novel does not simple spread their ideas around (except for fan made fic that eventually made into the book store like 50 shades of grey). Sure anyone can join the group. But what people should join such group ? Those that write seriously don't usually throw their ideas around (except when you try to find a suitable artist to co-op with making comics/mangas); Those that wish to write for fun usually lost around when it comes to incentives/criticism/seriousness.

In fact, to make it short, you as a creator, pioneer must define the uniqueness of the group from the start (which is what exactly you are doing right now).

More over, if it is steam based, you also must aware around what kind of tools can leverage the writing itself, or how it fit to the writing format, should it be traditional writing or free form writing, internet based writing. The 'creative' is not just how the ideas but also go into the media form. Taken Steam also has its own unique system of formatting and additional with game icons and stuffs etc....That's the leverage you are looking for, or at least, be the first one to promote such ideas.

And when it comes to the focus of the ideas, what kind of game you are looking for, focused in ?

I love writing, and I actually have a project for a visual novel with my boyfriend (who loves writing at least twice as I), I'd love to join!

I really like writing.. I'm posting some of my stories on net, but I'd like to release a book in the future, so I'd like to join

sounds like a great idea.

i started writing a book a long time ago, but then i quit.. maybe i should start up again

Yay, writing, one of the few things I am absolutely confident I can do. :-) Usually, I write in my mother tongue, Czech, but I do have a couple of stories and about fifteen or so poems in English, or mixed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaronic_language).

I love playing with the language, and one of the recent “language” achievements I'm proud of is an 18-verse rhyming poem about Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire, which does not contain a single vowel. (I'm not sure if something like that can be done in English. Even in Czech, this was really pushing it. :-))

I would like to join too, as I am working on fantasy novel myself (albeit it's in my native language) and would be interested in sharing the passion with other gamers.

Do it! :)
