Ns Book?

Demiguise · March 2004

Maybe me and a couple of people could talk and stuff and design a storyline for a book about ns?
maybe follow a alien or a rine. maybe both

what do you think and would you buy it?

only if it was about the back ground to ns and the first encounter with the kharaa

interesting

Firstly, how do u go about publishing a book? Many times I have considered publishing Behemoth but then I know nuts about book publishing and stuff. Also, if you were to publish a NS-related book, ur supposed to ask Flayra first, right?

i would have to get permission for his intellectual property.
I would have to actually decide on a storyline for it, and get people to help me.

Or...
I would ask flayra still
get a collection of Ns related storys and put them into one book :/

Yea because of the nature of ns its probably better to keep it online. this way ns can keep expanding at very low cost.

I've wanted to start a NS fanfic site. I've also wanted to start a NS combat photography site. I would love to contribute to the fanfic site.

I think what he's thinking about is putting together a book about the NS universe for non-game players. If you want it published, remember, it has to be written VERY well, plus remember that people who are going to be reading it will not have any idea about the universe they are reading about - so you'll need to build the story up from the ground up, explaining things as you go.
You'll need a deep plot line, clearly mapped out before hand. readers will need to identify with the characters, not be too baffled by jargon and "in-terms" that they won't understand. And try and keep away from "science fiction" person names too - general public find it hard identifying with someone known as "ZharNath" or "Ukir" or some other obscure name

I'm rambling though, and i'm probably hypocritical. It sounds like a good idea tbh, but it needs research legal-wise, because it would probably come under the umbrella of Flayra's copyright.

Other than that, sounds like a good idea, go for it!
