** Amberzine XII - Call for Stories **​


"Amber was the greatest city which had ever existed or ever would exist. Amber had always been and always would be, and every other city, everywhere, every other city that existed was but a reflection of a shadow of some phase of Amber." (Corwin in Roger Zelazny's Nine Princes in Amber)

Some of those reflections are the games that we're playing, the stories that we're sharing, some of which we end writing down. The best of those stories are collected in Amberzine.

Amberzine exists thanks to Roger Zelazny's generosity in letting his fans -- readers and gamers -- share their visions of his work. It exists thanks to those talented fans who transform tabletop tales shared with friends into ones that can be read and enjoyed by every Amber lover.

We need more such tales. http://www.trumpstudio.com]Michael Kucharski[/URL], the original Amber DRPG illustrator, is the editor for Amberzine XII. (You can believe it'll look good!) He left me in charge of collecting texts and making a pre-selection.

Do you have Amber stories that beg to extend beyond the borders of your gaming table? Can you write those stories so that anyone can enjoy them, or at least anyone familiar with Amber? If yes, send them my way:

Amberzine_XII@hotmail.com

Length: between 4000 and 15000 words (or, between 18000 and 66000 characters, with spaces). All texts must be the property of the person presenting them; moreover, they mustn't have been published already, including on a webpage.

The deadline is June 1, 2004, at what time Michael will select the best submissions among those I'll have forwarded. If there aren't enough he wishes to publish, the call for stories shall be extended.

Erick Wujcik provides important precisions, including monetary ones, in this RPG.net thread.

If you have questions, please post here or get in touch with me. :)

Hi, PA!

By "20,000 and 60,000 signs", do you mean characters - ie letters and spaces? If so, do you know how many words that works out to?

Also, any pay for these?
 



Yeah, but when is Rebma being published? :)

Mike should do a great job as editor I should think. He certainly was a good gamemaster when I still lived in his neck of the woods.

Right after the Trumps supplement. :eek:

Mike already did a great job as an editor for Amberzine XI. He told me about some of his campaigns (or "chapters" of his campaigns, since they run for years) and I sure wish there was someone to write them down! :cool:

One month has passed... Time for a bump!


Thanks for the bump. I have an old character diary lying around. I remember having to cut it short due to timing.

Question (and I checked the other thread too) any style this needs to be submitted in? Like with references to the character stats or game dates or anything like that?

Thanks,

Zhaneel

Timing? What do you mean? Lack of time?

Nope, no specific format. You can even write in the third person, if you want to. And if the text is selected, you'll be asked to write a short postface for it: that's where "references" can appear.
