Hello. I am part of this community, my name is Ultra.
I will be presenting a series of short stories based on Tales of Pirates in-game life, common culture, jokes, common humor or pranks of this game, beg mechanics I mean bug mechanics, like throwing bomb delays, folklore, market madness or any other things to write semi-good novels or entertaining ToP stories.

Basically it's fan-fiction stories. But done more professionally than initially thought after seeing how badly I wrote initially the first story without proper organization that this announcement improves by setting periodic releases.


I can not do much play time, also as a sea Voy it doesn't permit a much action-packed life, but I can write some short stories and mini-novels or mini-stories. Some scary things. Some sad things. Some weird things. Some bug situations. Things turned into actual stories like in those novels, mini-chapters if you wish, 1 thread long (if it fits in 1 post, depending on the limit here).
Scary things: you'll see.
Sad things: seeing a slash fly in slow motion to your only support cleric in your party in BD lair as your party's life flashes before your eyes when that reaches.
Weird things: Throw a flash bomb and stun someone, but that someone continues moving and kills you... o.o?
Crazy things: a guy gets full drop of the DW boss.
Bug situations: have someone bug their Energy Shield so they have infinite energy and SP, and what happens then, and their adventures or their gameplay, and their armageddon OP-ness tanking, as example of possible story.
Outrageous things: the typical doing typical things farming boring sea life items and then suddenly getting caught in some event and saving the day, for example.

Roles of the players inside the short stories can be:
1.Played the game like you do – chat, a computer or
2.Lived inside the game with the mechanics being their reality, and being you guys playing so it is more comic, or fun, or humorous at some moments. Like "real life" Newbies in a ToP reality then, doing their Newbie things in Argent or the cities, for example.

Doing the first story as an idea, I realized that writing well is harder than it seems. One thing is the idea and writing it, but the other is to make it sound as you expected and give 'the feels' to put you in that situation while you are reading it–you have to actually orchestrate it well how you write the climax as it happens, or for example, a PvP will sound boring while it is saying that it was very intense, and not click with the reader. If a situation was fearful, you have to feel kind of fear while reading it, and so that requires more time to perfect than few hours. The idea was from interactions in Discord and encouraged by Spidpex, and the craziness of this universe.

And who knows, later if it's kinda' successful I could make .epubs or PDF downloads with whole plots, and bizarrely thinking also illustrations for them too if the free time permitted for it.

As for a start, let's say I'll publish 1 short story a week for now. (Uhh no time..!-) The first one will be this current weekend, and it is already finished except for some fine tuning of how it is read and the atmosphere being as it wants to tell the story.
