To Writers

From Create Your Own Story

For the most part, writing in this is very open. Write well and with proper grammar, and try to include imagery and overall good story. If you feel you need to add something major, please message me. Please do not change story lines without permission.

A few things:

1. Travel

I suspect this to be a major thing. In the Mojave, there will be "Hubs". From there, other, smaller areas nearby will connect. Hubs should be major areas with many locations or quests nearby. ALL Hubs should connect to multiple smaller locations and at least one major Hub. Hubs can be close, such as Freeside and The Strip. Both would make good Hubs, with many smaller places connecting to them. Hub pages should have a list of locations to go within them. Look at the FNV/Hub/Goodsprings pages for an example to this.

I plan to implement a "Fast Travel" option, which will appear at the bottom of the screen above the Category> That page will connect to all Hubs.

2. Perks

Perks are probably the most difficult part about this story. You should only give perks for certain things. These can be skills, companions, knowledge, quests completed, or items in inventory. To use them, just insert the required perk in {Brackets} at the beginning of a choice. When a player earns a perk, make it bold. Avoid writing whole storylines after choices requiring a perk. (i.e., don't make a lot of quests that require one specific perk to start. A few is okay, but make most with multiple ways to start)

3. Factions

Some quests will require certain factions, but don't write storylines that imply alliances if it is not a required perk. (i.e., don't write something about siding with the NCR while just roaming the Wastes)
