Default 40kTerra Novellette idea.

As I posted, I'm thinking of writing a short novellette using the members of our prestigious forum as characters. I will be including all of the main staff (Moderator or higher) as at least minor characters, plus some of the other staff in cameos.

If you have any objection to this, could you please post it here.

Also, before you decide whether you want your char to be in it or not, I will not be using your character, only your member. For example, rather than being an overgrown EC superwarrior, Erus will be the Lord Commander of the armies, as he is a Primarch. Cagarner would be Fabricator General, the High Lords will hold various seats on the Senatorium Imperialis, and I will try to appoint your seat based on what I see as your best assets.


If you are not a major staff member, but would still like to make a cameo appearance, please make a request.

I will be choosing the main character after appointment of seats.

This my friend is an excellent idea!!!!!

I cant wait to see it begin. Well, If you manage to include a Fabricator General, many high lords and some arbrites in a story together, then I will be impressed.

Its a good job the reall shracters were not usded, else we would have chewbaka and a small blue alien running around some distant, unfortunate planet.

Cant wait to see the develop, good luck!!

aaaarrrrggggg! icarus, you fiend, you got to it before i did! i've been fleshing out a plotline for the fluff of my army, which will include characters named after some of our member screen names. but i'm not a writer so the going is slow. now along comes someone else with the same idea, and more ability to actually pull it off. grrrrr! why, why must life be so cruel?!?

on a slightly less self pitying note, if you feel that you can work a hairyyahoo into your story please feel free to go for it.

Captain Steelle I like the ring to it.

As long as I am a commander of some sort of Imperial Guard Army I will be happy :P lol

Is this just going to be a Short Story, or a series of Novellettes?

If I'm in it, I hope I don't die in the first paragraph, if I do I'll have to take things down with me anyway.

*nods* I thank you for the honor Icarus. If you want any fluff on Erus to help you, just let me know? Unless you're basing this off more of how I am on the site?

As I said, it's more about your positions on the site (eg. Adeptus Mechanicus, Primarch etc)

I wouldn't mind a small role, if you have room.

Plus, it'll be interesting to see how you can make 'Khemri Daemon' into an acceptable, Imperial name.

Looking good, I've never read a post-Imperium story, so this is pretty interesting.

Just as a piece of advice, it'd probably be easier to read if you put each new part in a different post. It's just a little irritating having to flip back and forth between pages.

Keep up the good work.

It would make good sense to have each new bit on a new post or have some way for us to tell where the old bit ends and the new bit starts. Anyway good work I like it, keep up the good job
