Hi there, fellas.
As you may guess, I'm quite the Fallout fan. I also enjoy a decent story, and occasionally writing a decent story. I've read a few good ones posted here and I must say that I'm rather impressed. What I'm NOT impressed with is the gross negligence perpetrated on the original Fallout premise and storyline by the few writers who bothered to touch the material in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, fringe-element stories are not a bad idea in and of themselves, they flesh out the Fallout universe, but I feel strongly that the original Fallout storylines need to be dramatized, to give more life to the wasteland by three-dimensionalizing it's characters and provide themes to the stories behind the lives. What I've managed to find so far is either horribly dry or just the author reciting nearly step by step the events of the video game.
Now, I may be wrong, there might be a kick-ass story regarding the Vault Dweller's travels hiding somewhere on the net, but I haven't found it, and me no like. The premise has heaps of potential, and if no-one else is going to satisfy me, I might as well vent all these ideas I have floating about in my head by writing my own story.
I've already pat down most of the basic outline. What I've come up with is a three-part series.
EPISODE ONE (Act 1): "Fallout"
- The Vault Dweller must abandon the safety of Vault 13, as well as his own ideals, in order to survive the search for a replacement water chip among the anarchic ruins of civilization
EPISODE TWO (Act 2): "Master Race"
- Vault 13 sends out teams of "recon troops" to scout out habitable areas for it's escalating population; the story follows one such team's discovery of a potential site, but also an indigenous mutant population with which they choose to deal with quite harshly, and possibly unwisely
EPISODE THREE (Act 3): "????"
- Haven't quite gotten around to working out the details for this one, but it will basically be about Vault 13 fighting for survival against a severe backlash from certain sections of the wasteland's populace on one side, and hostile advances by a clearly superior opponent on the other
I've promised Miroslav I'd send him these stories for him to publish in the site's fanfic section, but each of these episodes will contain quite a few chapters according to my estimates, and will take considerable time to complete on my own, more than I care for. What I am here to do is request the assistance of a competent co-writer to share with me the burden of writing this. Two heads are better than one in any case. My e-mail address is listed, so to any interested parties, feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your time. Take it easy.

Your decision, your life, your mode of thinking... you'll do just fine without us, wouldn't you? You've got your own ideas, and you know what to do with them.
