Tell me about a dream project of yours (Within the world of writing)

i used to write for MUDs-- it is a lot of fun. I am sure you could set up an easy virtual MUD using lpc and sketch out the world - then if you ever got backers for doing the graphics... you would have the bones.

 

My dream at the moment is to turn one of my more mythic stories into a webcomic. problem is that while I am ok at backgrounds and storyboarding and layout, not so good at characters. so now exploring options with someone else to do that part! heh.

 

I would create a AAA quality recreation of the Crystal Palace in Virtual Reality.



EDIT: Oh, sorry, somehow I missed that you said "within the world of writing"

 

I'd like to turn my books into an animated series. Preferably an anime-style one.

 

Writing a quest (or The Quest) for a video game would be heaps of fun. I love gaming and it would be amazing to see my story come to life. The same would go with writing for the Efteling. I love visiting the Efteling and seeing a story in real life would be epic. (In case anyone from the Efteling is reading, pick me, pick me! Not Ban. Me!... ).

But to add one of my own, I would love to do a cameo in a movie based on one of my novels. Not that I have dreams of being a movie star. But it just sounds like a really fun experience. And it would be great to point at the screen in a random scene and go "See that third orc on the left there, the really ugly one? That's me!"

 

I'd like to see my work in progress turned into a gritty black and white crime noir style movie where I play the villain when it's completed.

 

When I write, I envision myself as transcribing 'mental movie clips.' From there, the progression is rather obvious - 'mental movies' to 'actual movies.'

 

To be sitting on my ever-fattening ass, sipping expensive scotch, smoking a cigar, and yelling at HBO producers to “get it right, for Gods Damn!”

 

I’ve been wanting to get back into drawing comics for a while. We should brainstorm sometime.

Anyways, my dream project would probably be to do something on a new platform or medium.
I can only imagine how excited writers were when video games or even film got to the point where they could tell actual narratives. It would’ve been like a new frontier to explore with endless possibilities and stuff. I think it would be really cool to get in on the ground level of a new medium.

 

Change the scotch to a South Australian shiraz and the cigar to...erm...something else, and that's exactly my fantasy.

 

Yeah, I don’t smoke at all nor drink much these days, but one must keep up appearences.

 

My dream is actually finishing all the books I've started writing. And when I get them all published, I'm gonna work on MORE books! And I want an animated tv series, because I'm in love with shows like Voltron, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the Dragon Prince

 

I have an entire fantasy series of 6 books in my head, notes about characters and such.... the thing is real life doesn't give me time to sit down and write, specially in this time of the year...
