Fionavar Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 I just had a few inquiries in respect to competition #2: Fan fiction art. I believe the following speaks to #3 (Fan fiction based in the Pillars universe: 250-500 words) as well. The Fanfic art and fiction is totally open to any aspect that inspires your muse in respect to Pillars of Eternity. Inly #1 is bound to a specific resource. with respect, Fionavar 1 The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaColombo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Dumb question: How does the caption competition work? "Time is not your enemy. Forever is." — Fall-From-Grace, Planescape: Torment "It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question, and he'll look for his own answers." — Kvothe, The Wise Man's Fears My Deadfire mods: Brilliant Mod | Faster Deadfire | Deadfire Unnerfed | Helwalker Rekke | Permanent Per-Rest Bonuses | PoE Items for Deadfire | No Recyled Icons | Soul Charged Nautilus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionavar Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 As a general description, does this help: submit a photo caption for the provided image in 20 words or less? 1 The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyseal Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Should we sign our fanart or without the signature? Edited January 6, 2016 by Cyseal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionavar Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think it is totally appropriate for you to sign your own creation if that feels important. Even if you use Creative Commons, it is most appropriate to ensure there is proper citation too. Helpful?

Cyseal Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I approve of this news. Is that an affirmation or submission? I think he just gave the greenlight for "The Pillars Hype Train Tyme" to commence. Does the title "The Pillars Hype Train Tyme" need to be present in fanart ?

Osvir Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I want to write a fanfic but all I can think of are concepts - Mad scientist (who began as a benevolant doctor looking for a "cure") who has caught godlikes in cages, animals and souls as well, experimenting (Irenicus inspired, duh). Pallegina involved (and all her feathers plucked, bald/naked chicken). His goal to create a super-being, a Godlike that possessess all traits from all the Gods. - A hunter's tale, in the Bael Marsh, recollecting and flashbacking his journey as he follows a trail to his mark, only to find the killer of his tribe/family in his own reflection in a pond. - A book, that traps the reader the moment it is opened (scripted event), following the tale of the original writer and the terror of countless readers (still trapped, their souls and essence turned into ink), allowing the player to make choices as they turn the pages. Obviously, these are not submissions, these are the "fanfics" I'd want to write... but I think I am concept damaged xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
