Hi there!
I really enjoy writing, and have started a few writing projects. However, I still have a ton of free time that I can use to write.
So if you wanted a short story written, feel free to post an application.
These are generally fiction, but if you want I can make them non-fiction. They just might not be as good.
Please keep in mind that I'm not a professional writer, I'm just a kid who happens to enjoy it. I do them on spare time that I have, and my schedule isn't set in stone at any given point in the week.
Generally, they'll be 1-3 pages. If it's shorter or longer, I apologize in advance. I can't predict how much I'll write on a given subject.
Typical topics that I can think of off the top of my head would be based both in and outside of MCSG and Minecraft in general - Perhaps it is a day at a new job, an exciting round of MCSG, a love story, or meeting a famous YouTuber on a server. I am open to writing about things outside of Minecraft, but I may have incorrect information, depending on what it is.
Please include sufficient information for me to write it. If I don't have a lot of details, then I'll make stuff up - That will be dictated by my own imagination, not yours. So if you have a good idea but are bad at writing, then just submit your idea and I'll try to organize, edit, and/or rewrite it.
--Application--
The name of character(s) (Ex., Bob, Jimmy, or perhaps someone's username.)
Plot (You meet a YouTuber, have an amazing round of MCSG, fall in love with another player, etc.)
Setting (MCSG Map, IRL place, different server, etc.)
What happens (Conversation topics, quotes, other stuff you want me to include)
How much wiggle-room do I have to improvise? (Please elaborate)
Mood - Excited, sober, depressed, romantic, happy, mad, disturbed, funny, etc.
How long would you prefer it to be? (No promises, this is just for a general idea. I'll type them in either 11 or 12-point font. How many words, perhaps?)
First person, second person, or third person? (I walked down the street, you walked down the street, or he walked down the street.)
Other details! (This is where you put the stuff that I didn't ask but you want included. Make it count.)
Notes:
I emphasize the point that I am not a professional, and don't know how many I'll end up doing before I quit (if I do end up quitting.) I give no guarantee of quality, but at least you're not paying for them.
If I failed to point out anything, please point it out for me. I don't want to forget anything. I also wrote this thread at about midnight (As I've been doing for the past few days) and my mind isn't exactly clear. I will be writing stories at an earlier time in the day, so as to avoid mistakes.
I posted this thread in the Art Section because literature is technically a form of art.

Notes:
Thanks for reading this thread! I'd appreciate any feedback, as I've never done anything like this before.~I reserve the right to accept, decline or ignore any application. I'll try and tell you why if I do decline it, but I don't have to.
~I may ask for more information, after you submit an application. If that happens, it's probably because I forgot to ask something in the original application format, or your story has an unusual aspect to it.
~If I start writing it, but then stop mid-write, I'll give you what I wrote so far. You can, of course, finish it if you want.
~If I change something on purpose, then it was probably because I didn't understand it in your application, or felt that the story could benefit from that change.
~If you're unsatisfied with what I wrote, feel free to re-submit it. If I have enough time, I'll try and fix it. If I think that I did the best I could, I'll say so. If you find a grammar mistake, I'll try and fix it (Unless you do it yourself.)
~This is an experiment. I do not intend to accept a lot of applications.
~I will accept 2 applications, write them, and see if I think I can take more applications. If they took a long time or were difficult, then I'll probably have this thread locked. (Unless it was just those particular prompts that were tough)
~I will not do any of your homework for you. If you give me a prompt and I write it, then what you do with it afterwards is your business. However, if you are caught submitting it to a teacher without giving credit where it's due, then I won't be happy.
~If it's a love story, then you don't have to tell them that I wrote it (as long as you don't forget that I did.) I'm happy to help wherever I can, even if it means getting you a date (LOL.)
~Don't expect me to be an expert at writing. I have very little experience with writing things such as horror stories, as I am personally only afraid of one thing. Just as some artists have difficulty or little experience drawing things such as hands and gory scenes, writers also have their limits.
~I don't do art for stories. If I do happen to write an extremely good story, I know some artists in real life who might agree to do a quick drawing, but I don't include it in the original agreement.
~Please keep requests PG-13. I myself am still young, and refuse to write anything relating to a s*xual experiences. I will also sensor all swear words, generally replacing at least one letter with a *.
~If you want to help write these stories, either as a co-author or someone who takes a portion of the applicants and handles those requests, please PM me.
~I don't know if anyone has made a thread similar to this before. I did search for one, but didn't find one.
~Any constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated. Negative criticism may be reported. I'll try and take all criticism as best as I can, but I'm only human (And cow.)
~If this becomes successful enough (Which I doubt) then I reserve the right to charge for stories. I'll probably have 1-3 pages free, and prices according to length and/or detail.
~In relation to the above note - If I agree to a, say, 10 page story, but make it 11 pages, then I'll only charge for 10 pages. The 11th page will be free. If I agree to a 10 page story but only write 9, then I'll charge for only 8 pages (or you can ask that I continue to 10 pages, even if it's not as good.)
~If I did an amazing job and you want to donate (Or get a much longer story) then PM me, and we can try and work something out. Part of all funds I get (Up to a certain point) will be donated to a good cause (Check my signature [As of 9/27/13. I may change my signature.] to see what.)
I emphasize the point that I am not a professional, and don't know how many I'll end up doing before I quit (if I do end up quitting.) I give no guarantee of quality, but at least you're not paying for them.
