   Script Writer Looking For Project
  Hello,My name is Chris and I'm currently looking for a project in which to lend my talents.I've done several contracted projects and lent myself to various projects such as the Avalanche Gaming Community of 2001-2003 as well as the indie developed Assyria project of 2006-2008.I'm very familiar with the fantasy, sci-fi as well as modern settings.I've included a small writing sample below.Thank you for your time. Dusk slowly drifted over the sleepy village of Ban'nar.  Women scampered about hurrying their children into houses while husbands closed up shops for the night and hung their aprons on iron hooks near the shops' doors.  To any onlooker the village of Ban'nar was a rather peaceful place where the worries of the world slipped from the minds of it's inhabitants.  Olav the dwarven tavern master stood at the doorway to his place of business watching the village during it's evening-time slow down.  A smile crossed his lips for he stood at this exact spot every evening and looked over the people whom he had believed was his extended family. The noise of the tavern broke his thoughts as heavy mugs slammed onto the wooden bar that extended the length of the structure.  Turning his attention back to the tavern Olav was greeted with warm smiles from men & women who either had no children that needed tending or simple travellers who always seemed to pass through this simple village.    "Hey Olav! My mug won't fill itself!" Olav chuckled to himself as a familiar voice broke through the crowd.  As quickly as his short legs would carry him Olav the dwarven tavern-master made his way to his stockroom.  Lighting a small candle that stood in the corner allowed Olav to take quick stock of his supplies.  Satisfied Olav grabbed a large barrel or dwarven made ale and made his way back to the common room.  The sight of the dwarf carrying the barrel of very popular ale caused a loud uproar of happy voices, quite used to the commotion Olav set the barrel behind the bar and with the strength only known to his kind he slammed an iron spigot into the side of the barrel successfully tapping it. Without so much as even a blink of an eye Olav raised his head to see several grinning faces leering over the side of the bar eyeing the now ready barrel of alcohol.  Playfully Olav patted his rotund belly and sat himself on a wooden stool that he kept as a resting spot behind the bar.  His bones seemed to creak a little more often these days but that never stopped him from serving the residents of Ban'nar.  "I don't serve sloppy drunks!  Make a line!"  Olav's natural gruff voice seemed to startle the few patrons who were waiting for their mugs to be refilled.  In an instant Olav's voice faded and was replaced by a smile so wide it could engulf a small child.  The patrons relaxed and smiles quickly returned as they held their empty mugs out to the tavern-master. Soon all the empty mugs were emptied twice more and a young serving girl scurried about cleaning plates and mugs off of tables.  Olav busied himself by wiping down the bar.  Before he knew it the last of the patrons has filed through the door and the loud clack of the locks fitting into place snapped Olav's attention back to the present.  Tossing his rag into a bucket Olav made his way to the front of the tavern and patted his hand on the young woman's back as a way of saying 'thank you lass".  Slowly the young woman slumped into a near-by chair and smoothed her rough hair behind her pointed ears.  Olav knew the woman's heritage, her ears had a slight point to them, not enough to prove she was elven but somewhere in her blood mingled the blood of elven kind. No one in the village knew, could not know for the elves had locked themselves away in their forests and permitted no one to enter.  Olav tussled his own beard and thought of better things.  The woman's voice broke the silence.  "Do you need anything else Master Olav?"  Her voice was sweet & melodic almost as if her vocal chords were made from the finest harp strings.  After a moments thought Olav shook his head and patted the girl on her head.  "No lass, I think you've earned a good night's rest."  The girl smiled a weak, weary smile and slowly made her way to the stairs where her room lay.  Taking a few steps she listened for a very familiar noise.  A wide grin made it's way to her face as she made her way to her room.  Olav the dwarven tavern-master was snoring loudly, comfortably sitting in a chair near the front door......    It was early morning as two travelers made their way into the village, their blackened clothes seemed to bake their skin in the morning sun but their un-comfort was nothing compared to the task that was set upon them by the master of their order.  The merchants who worked in the open air market were beginning to set up their stalls, their eyes strayed to the odd pair as they made their way down the main road towards their target.    "I think I'll lop off the head of the next person who stares at me"  The voice was feminine and made her companion chuckle slightly.  "Don't you agree Luc?"  The woman stopped for a moment and made certain to flash the sword hanging loosely at her side.   "I'd rather not fight the entire village if we didn't have to, now come on."  Luc stepped ahead of his partner and began making his way towards a small tavern in the distance.  Amelei shrugged her shoulders and after sneering at some passing villagers took off after him.  The knock came suddenly sending a startled dwarf flying to the floor.  Cursing to himself Olav pushed himself to his feet and rubbed a small knot that was swelling on his forehead.  The knock sounded at the tavern's door again, shaking his head Olav tried to clear his head and was slowly wondering who would be looking for a drink at this time in the morning.  Olav gripped the small brass handle to the tavern door and pulled it open, bright rays of sunlight stung the old dwarf's eyes nearly blinding him.  Quickly rubbing his fist into his eyes Olav tried to make out who was bothering him at this hour.    Quickly and without warning a hand shoved itself inside the tavern opening and gripped the dwarf by the front of his shirt and easily lifted him into the air.  Shocked and frightened Olav kicked and struggled against his assailant to no avail.  A familiar voice broke the haze of the moment but Olav had no time to contemplate as his attacker drew him closer than easily flung the dwarf through the tavern sending hm crashing headlong into the oaken bar.  Olav's sight dimmed and his head felt very heavy so heavy in fact he couldn't seem to lift it.  Those words flooded his mind as he slipped into oblivious darkness.  I've come for the daughter of the moon......   
  Do you work for free? If not, what are you looking for as far as compensation?   ;Thanks for the quick reply.I do work for free depending on the scope, size and how far along the project is.If the project is a massive undertaking that will encompass alot of my time I may ask for a small amount of compensation,  of course the amount would be slight and will always be open for negotiation.   ;  PM'ing you now.   ;  Still looking for prospective projects.   ;  Hey, I still need a writer for Witch Hunter if you are still free;  I've had a few offers but I'm always interested in talking with developers.  Feel free to send me a pm or email me some information at chrisb1226@hotmail.com   ;  Wow you write really well. I'd love to talk some details with you one my Vehement Thrones project as I really need a writer with your skills. At the moment, I can't promise compensation because I'm insure of this game will be sold or not, but if there is profit, you'll definitely get you works worth. I'll PM you my contact details and reply if your interested.Cheers,James   ;  Just wanted to add a post of encouragement; your writing is pretty good.For a bit of detail, is creative writing your only focus? Are you experienced with technical writing for working on such things as design documents, scene descriptions, in-game data, and so forth? Would you consider yourself able to communicate in a variety of ways, such as to work with a variety of people? Are you looking only for a lead position, or would you be willing to work under someone? What sort of time do you have to dedicate to another project? Would you be willing to maintain team-related websites such as blogs or news pages? Are there forms of writing that you are not willing to do?   ;  @ Spinderninja - thank you for the kind words and as of right now I've taken on one solid project but I am always open to other projects.  I got your PM and I will add you to my msn within the day.@ Elhrrah - Thank you for the encouragment, in answer to your questions; I have no problem working under someone else.  As for technical writing I'm not a programmer although with enough technical references around me I am confident I could write a capable design document.  My timeframe however varies from project to project but typically I can devote around 15-25 hours per week for an independent project.Also, I have no problem taking on any writing assignment as I am always looking to expand my horizons as a writer.
