Unfinished Works in search of Authors

[Ataridante]

Its been an absolutely ridiculous amount of time since I've posted anything and i feel a bit bad about disapearing for so long (three? four years?)

I've been swamped these past few years what with botanical work to do in the real world, research etc etc. And though I never lost my passion for the lore of this game I found myself without free time to do any work.


But after hearing about Skyrim I just had to dig up all my unfinished works and give them a once over. I'm currently working on completing the Cyrodiil edition that was so close to done but not fully complete (had to add a few plants and some fungi) with the intention of eventually posting it to the Imperial Library as a forum scholars essay. As i was lurking through posts, old and new, i managed to luckily find this!


First of all, let me say, as far as permissions are concerned... yes of course you may use any of the content I've posted here in whatever context you would like! Full books included. I made everything for this mod originally. I'd hoped to eventually post the guide to TIL but if theres some ownership concerns regarding that please let me know. Or you can choose not to add stuff to I wont get offended.

In regards to the unfinished nature of the book... It's hard to make informed volumes about provinces not delved into by the games (part of my brimming excitement about Skyrim, as a botanist, is to see if they add real world plants to Skyrim like they did with Cyrodiil). But I would love to restart work on this project and would LOVE help and additions. Hell if someone has the time and energy to tackle a whole province i say "Have at! and happy hunting!" I think its a great idea to have different writing styles for different volumes as long as each volume remains mostly consistent in voice.

It'll be a few weeks until I have new content finished (since I'm going entry by entry trying to make sure i have everything) but by then the Cyrodiil version should be done and i will have started work on Morrowind
At TIL a volume has already been ammassed on Morrowind

I'd love to get in touch with the author and trade notes/talk about combining the two works but I refuse to use it without permission so If not I'm just going to use the superb information collected to rewrite the guide in my own words using only the information
its a great example if nothing else.

I also claim no role as a leader of this project. I don't just want to roll in here barking orders at would be botanists and alchemists and writers especially having been gone so long... its just not my place to dictate anything, just provide content help. If anyone wants to step in and take command or if a bunch of people want to leave it free form and post snippets of content, well i say either way great. I could take over the botany books too if needed. I cant guarantee I'd make the best leader but I can guarantee i'll always come back with new content hahaha


I cant promise much but I can promise this thing'll get done eventually!
I guess this is my return post
