What Amber Did Next

, ,

It’s been a while since I last mentioned my writing endeavours over at Chronicles of Tyria, but I thought it might be time for an update. Amber’s journey has taken her all across the lands of Tyria, most recently to the wilds of Ascalon, and continues to throw up surprises – and more complications than you can shake a stick at! She’s had run-ins with Inquest, grawl and golems, not to mention travelling companions with shady agendas. But, of course, where would be the fun in a simple life?!

Chronicles of Tyria as a whole continues to grow in leaps and bounds, too. We’ve got a great selection of authors regularly contributing, with their stories really taking in everything the fabulous world of Guild Wars 2 has to offer. And, to top it all off, we now have a web comic! You can see the first installment here.

If you’re at all interested in fan-fic or Guild Wars, I hope to see you there.

I’m Writing for Chronicles of Tyria!

, , , ,

I’ve been quiet here recently as I’ve been involved in a lot of behind-the-scenes preparation for a new project: as a writer at the Guild Wars 2 fan-site Chronicles of Tyria. To really get an idea about what CoT is, have a look at their site, but in brief it’s a small number of writers producing on-going GW2 fan-fic, alongside the occasional self-contained story. My story will focus on an asura thief named Amber, and whilst obviously it’s aimed at fans of the game, I hope the story itself will be a great read for fantasy lovers of all stripes.

My first post will be available to read at the site in the next day or two, and from then on I’ll be producing a new chapter every 2-3 weeks. I’ll talk more about the challenges of writing both serial fiction and fan-fic in another post (and I’m sure there are a few extra challenges I won’t stumble across for a few weeks yet!) – but for now, have a look at the Chronicles of Tyria site, and if you’re a fan of the game, feel free to join the CoT forums and introduce yourself!
