I've started up a freelance writing website, and while I expect my main bulk of work will be from people seeking help with business writing, I would love to be able to use my writing skills to help out the folks at EN World with their gaming needs.
To the moderators: I hope this post is appropriate. I do have an actual press release in the Publishers forum, but I figured this would be more of a thread for discussing the idea, and seeing what people would be interested in. There are numerous freelance artists looking for work here, so hopefully there's room for a freelance writer or two.
I originally started D&D writing because I had ideas for my own campaign that the existing rules didn't cover, and I wanted rules for them. When 3rd Edition came out, I managed to fall into writing D20 material because I posted fake contents of Tome & Blood based on my campaign, and people said my ideas were worth printing. Basically, I like my world, and I like seeing it in print. Campaign settings are hard to sell, though, so I've been putting out bits of rules and flavor here and there. It's really fun to be running a session, have something come up that the players don't know the rules for, and I can just open up a copy of an actual book and show them the rules.
I'm hoping other gamers feel the same way, feeling a giddy sense of joy in having a fully-detailed article's worth of material from their own campaign. I know Phil Reed did a few custom pdfs, and I'd likely go the same way if people don't mind their favorite setting being seen by the public.
What do you think? Do I have a market?
