A couple days ago someone on the forum was recruiting people for a machinima - a story played inside a video game like Yogscast or Red v. Blue from Halo - and I hesitantly agreed to try providing some ideas for a storyline. The person, who is 17, sent me a personal message explaining the backstory of the machinima. I took a little while and added detail and some creative additions to it and he loved it. We've exchanged a few ideas so far.
My writing has been inspired by the manga "Naruto" because of its surprisingly intricate plot. We have the backstory figured out as well as a little bit of what will happen early in the series. I have to scale my ideas to the fact that the machinima will only run for a couple seasons. With time we will get our ideas sorted and finalized. I won't be seen in any of the episodes for various reasons. But I'm alright with that; getting the chance to use my creative abilities for something and then seeing what the result will be is sufficient for me. I just hope that the series will actually be put into production and have some audience. It's good experience for me so if anyone ever needs a writer I could use this as a sort of resume. If the series does go into production then I'll talk more about it, but for now I'll reserve my words so I don't spoil it for anyone. But if it launches, then expect me to talk more about it. ;)
