Message: <blockquote data-quote="Estlor" data-source="post: 1958562" data-attributes="member: 7261">I submitted to the Eberron open call.  I worked under the theme "You can't go home again," in which the hero was an ex-soldier that came home to find his farm had been given away by the ruler of his nation to a new noble as a reward for the noble's "valor in serving the country during the war."  The noble offers to let the soldier "buy" his land back if he retrieves a lost artifact from the Mournland.  Of course, since this is Eberron, the plot has twists and retwists to it that I won't go into.My feelings on it... I hate writing under forced situations.  When I write, I usually only have a beginning and an end.  I let the characters take me from point A to B organically.  For the open-call I had to jump right into meat of the story without a chance to let the characters take on their own life in the process.  It's not everything it could be. I am planning on submitting to the novel open-call.  Of course, I'm using something I was working on anyway, and even if WotC isn't looking for that kind of book right now, it's something I want to follow through with and find some outlet for it.</blockquote>
