I'm sure it doesn't pay much, but I think it's a good way to get some published work under your belt. I would agree that writing in a shared-world isn't the pinnacle of most writer's dreams, but it would be a dream come true to be a part of D&D like that.Coming up on 5 years ago, I actually sent in a submission to Wizard's publishing department. To my surprise, about 12 weeks later I got a letter from Peter Archer himself,  informing me that their publishing schedule was filled for the next 18 months, offered some good-natured feedback on my short story, and suggested I try back again.I never submitted again, as I decided to write a novel of my own (children's lit, finished it 6 months ago, and will submit to agents/publishers after this semester of school is done). Sure enough, I'll be sending it to Wizard's children's imprint, Mirrorstone. If anyone KNOWS a literary agent or publisher, I'm all ears <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Two of my University of South Florida professors have read the manuscript (one is a Masters of Children's Education and teaches Childrens Literature, and the other is a Dr. of writing and literature), and both have loved it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Both said that my story WILL get published, if I can stick through the arduous submissions process.But to write for Wizards... how cool would that be?</blockquote>
