Well you have a month to decide. :) Thanks for offering that suggestion, Littleman. If I may offer another suggestion, if you are having a difficult time coming up with an idea, wait until after the open beta event.

Be sure to remember a mission or quest that you did on your glorious escapades and then write about it.

Another possibility might be your character's story. How is it that they came to be where they are today? Was there some significant occurrence in their life that sent them down the path of God, Gold, and Glory?

Just a couple of ideas to help get those creative juices flowing!

Good luck!

By containing lore do you mean that it's set in and interacting with the world of Tera, or do you mean that it has to actually reference some sort of God/Event/Big-Piece-of-Lore in some way?

Basically, if a Elin and a Human were having a conversation in a tavern in Velika: is that considered enough; or does it need to revolve around, contain, or elude to a the actually game's story?

It just has to be set in and interacting with the world of Tera.

What we mean by lore-based is that we would not like to see big [filtered] monkeys (B.A.M.s) from the Planet of Otribitututu coming to invade Aborea.

We wanted to leave this pretty general and open so that you as the writer can demonstrate your creativity. So long as it follows the general lore of the game, it's good for submission.

I just started writing, like poems and plays and other stuff, and I am looking forward to participating in this! Thank you for the event!

I have another quick question. Do you have any objection to writers/entrants putting their stories up on their own personal sites (only ones they actually write of course)? For example I have both a Deviant Art account and a Storywrite account and if I can I'd like to add my story to my collections there.

I'm going to say yes to this one. It's perfectly fine if you put your story up on your own site. Just be sure to provide a link on the Salva Castanica forums. I won't accept links through email.

Not even a week has gone by and we're already receiving submissions! I love this community ♥

I'm not actually planning on writing for any of this, but I definitely wanted to stop by and say that I'm looking forward to reading all the stories that'll be coming up and best of luck to each of you that put up submissions! (Also to bump it to hopefully get more people to write so I have more stuff to read, but that's just me being selfish)

Friendly reminder! You have just under three weeks to submit. No rush! After the OBT, now would be a perfect time to start/finish writing!

Just two weeks to go until the submission deadline!
