Earth Defense Coalition

Think space humans defending against an intergalactic alien threat.

We are going to create stories based off a TTRPG that my friend made.

The Player's handbook is great to familiarize yourself with how the game is played and how to make a character, it will be available to look at and get acquainted with once selected as a writer.

Depending on how many writers we get, we will probably have some shared control squads or solo writing squads. It will be fun to see how they all fare against the Ivaet (aliens).

I attempted a short story about the Inferno Squad which is an elite squad that never failed a mission or lost a member until they mysteriously disappeared. The fun part is that you will have the flexibility to create your own squad(s). There are thousands of missions which one can write about using the hundreds of squads and thousands of characters that are part of this universe.

My goal is to manage fun stories that could become 'canon' to this EDC universe. As long as it's interesting and fits the timeline it should make the cut and become 'canon'. And then we can maybe turn the stories from just being on a wiki/website into shows/games/books.

But remember this is more of a fun project, I've always wanted to manage, approve/edit works, determine what is canon and what is not. I don't really plan to be too strict with auditions so I suppose another good thing about this project is writing experience.

You have to remember, if you send me a story that's not acceptable and you're not not willing to edit nor getting along with others nor communicating, you will be kicked out. As a team writer sometimes you just gotta edit until you get approval or just work on a different story.

If none of this made sense just ignore this casting call, if it seems interesting and you want to write a sci-fi military story then go ahead and audition. If you made it this far also add your favorite color in your audition.
