I was referring to the following sections after the "Character Name" and the faction on the site-based Pathfinder Society character-sheet. They're confusing me right now... Here's what I mean:
That explain it somewhat?
Okay, I was wondering, mainly because I'm a novelist by nature and I'd like to be able to work on things that I know about that can have a great following. Also, I just last night joined the Pathfinder Chronicler, and I'm going to be in the process of working on a novel for the group... I hope. Thanks for the gesture of good luck, Mister Sutter, I appreciate it.
So, mister James Sutter, I (and many others here, I think) would like to know about the status of the Pathfinder Tales novel authorship, and how likely it is for someone to start up in your line-up as a first-time writer. If you don't mind my saying so, I personally would like to officially get published some time soon, but not that soon with all the projects that are hanging around that I need to get back to... though deadlines are important, as every author will attest to, and I should know of the dreaded schedule slip myself. Anyway *ahem*, please inform us all of what needs to be met for criteria among first-time authors, alright? Thanks.
Uh, one problem with the last one: my chapters and other writings are not short, with my current longest being close to 34k words (actually above it by a small amount)... and the next chapter is steadily increasing as we speak to exceed that word count. I'll work on decreasing that amount for official works, but there's a high possibility that I'll make a mess of it, somehow.
I can guess that the answer is no more often than yes, but I just wanted to make sure what the requirements are for authors to have published works set in the Pathfinder setting, which is something I'd like to do at some point. I'll be honest here, I'm probably not the best for the job, but I've been writing for a while and I thought it would be a good idea to actually get published with a Pathfinder story under my belt. Then again, if one Googles my username of Xamusel and finds that I have accounts on fan fiction sites, you'll understand what I've been writing normally (and I'm trying to break that pattern)... but that's neither here or now. Also, I'll be starting with a clean slate for story telling for money-based publication, but I'm not hoping for much out of this. ...Wait, how did this turn from all users to just me, anyway? Must've gotten side-tracked. Anyway, *ahem* what requirements are there for any author trying to break into the specific market of Pathfinder storytelling, and what are the chances a newbie to the field is going to get published by you guys? Thanks for the reply to this in advance. I'm thinking about writing a novel, but I'd be happy to write a Web Fiction instead if you guys say so, just be forewarned that I tend to make things complicated without someone to keep me in check... either a co-author or an editor. |
