Written player contributions?

[Keldrena]

I notice that the team has given a list of items they need people to make. However not everyone can 3d model well. Would the team consider having player written things put in the game as a sort of contest, like with the rat skins? I know that there are people here who know the settings well and could add some written content to the game. I'm not suggesting that these story be anything that alters the settings, but fables and children's stories would be nice. There are tons of things that could be written and stay within the settings.

This already happened, on a smaller level, there:

Proverbs of Yliakum

I definitively agree that there should be more than just proverbs.

Thanks. I searched, but didn't see that one.

Just one quote from history.txt (the description of code changes in CVS):

- BUY_PERSONALISE flag support for item_stats of 'blank' items that are
  bought from a merchant and then 'personalised' by the buyer; such
  initial items being blank maps and books which get renamed, e.g.
  "Book of <name>".

So clearly, writing your own books should be possible in the future, but that probably takes many more comments in history.txt

Writing something as a player in a blank book or have it used by the devs and thereby made official are two different things

Thank you Garile you've exlained very well what I meant. Lanarel, I'm sorry I wasn't clearer.
