Looking for writer/lore collaborator

[MDC519]

One of my faults as a mod author is that I get very wrapped up in building it, but take very little time to actually explore the game and all it's lore. I have played quite a few hours in Skyrim, but the bulk of it has been looking at locations for my mod, dungeons, buildings, studying the follower AI's and so on. While I understand a lot of what is going on politically and so forth, I am sadly lacking in the major lore such as Falmer, Daedric, Dwemer, and all the inter-race relationships/tensions, etc.

I would like to find someone who is capable of writing a few story telling books, and who understands and can collaborate with me on the lore part. My mod will consist of a new companion/follower, a new castle/fortress and a newly discovered cave complex with quests to connect all of them together. The general story has Anora (the companion) and her family (originally tied to the Mages College/Winterhold) living in the castle that they are restoring. The father goes missing, and the PC comes to the rescue.

Books I have in mind: Mother's Dairy---(she is now deceased). She (a disillusioned mage) talks about falling in love with a Winterhold Guard and moving to Forlorn Point (tentative name for castle) to follow his dream of restoring it. They have Anora and she talks about life up until she dies when Anora is young.

Anora's Dairy: Picks up about the time her mother dies and talks about her surrogate mother raising her, life at the castle and stuff in general.

Fathers Journal: a general log of the work going on in the castle (gives a quest clue).

Other misc. books related to history/dungeon.

Well, that's enough for now. If any of you are interested in helping out, just holler! I will be posting a full mod WIPz soon.

I could quite possibly help you out, although, I am not quite sure what you're looking for. Basically you need someone to write the journals for the characters in your mod, correct?

Well, regardless, I would like to help. Hit me up with some more details if you are interested.

i'm no lore expert, but i find that UESPwiki has quite an extensive library of lore.

as for the mod, soundsa like a fun quest/home mod.

@ charlescrowe....I have the wiki's on speed dial...the main problem is that once I start, I click on link after link after link then 5 hours later realize I have spent way more time than I should have! OB and Skyrim have so much depth it is hard to absorb it all---let alone Morrowwind which I have never played.

@Dollparts...that's exactly what I am looking for. In my previous mods I always added some sort of back story to flesh out my companions. But this time I want to go even deeper into her background/history. I will contact you with more info and see what you think. I just have a general idea, so there is a lot of room for ideas/fleshing out. Thanks for volunteering.
