Ummmm….I guess I’m excited about school starting tomorrow…It’ll be neat to be an upperclassman (whoah, I didn’t really think about that!), and I’ll get my new classes, but getting up early, homework and late nights on projects…Not exactly what one gets excited about.  But thank GOD I’ll get to see my friends again!

As mentioned last week, I started writing fan fiction.  Here is my update on that: it is official that I’m working on writing stories for the Xbox360 game, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (and of course it’s playable on the PC, etc. but that’s not the point).  What I have in mind is making a story based on a main character who is of one of the 10 playable races in the game.  Here are the races in alphabetical order: argonian, breton, dark elf (dunmer), high elf, imperial, khajiit, nord, orc, redguard, and wood elf.  For some stories, the tale will be centered around their quest to progress through a guild (i.e., fighter’s guild, mage’s guild, thieve’s guild, Dark Brotherhood, etc.), which total about 4 stories; one will be made to tell the main story (imperial race used here); one is about a khajit who goes around “summoning” at the Daedra shrines (I think there are only 7 shrines I’ve found so far, so it won’t necessarily be too long…); so far that’s 6….and lastly, the remaining 4 tales will be purely ficitonal (for there aren’t any quests you can take for them) but still based off of something that relates to the game, of course.  Only half of those I have ideas for, which one actually includes the Necromancy plot, and the other is centered on a lone Bandit who has his own run-ins with the Imperial forces.  The other two, which are the tales of an orc and a wood elf….I have no clue what to write about.  So far, I think the orc-story might be a more fantasical version of Frankenstein, but not much else…

Anywho, sorry for such a long explanation, but that’s what it’s come down to.  At the moment, I already have story summaries typed up for the 8 tales I have a plot for, but I’m currently writing my first tale based on the Dark Brotherhood (using a dark elf/dunmer such as my own player is in the game).  I believe I’m almost complete with the prologue, but I need to type it up from my written papers.  No problem.

So, that’s what’s up.
