Writing....?

[Gaius Honorius Felix]

Hello Everyone,
Just want to ask a quick question. Is anyone out there in the community enjoy writing? I mean anything from stories to poems. Personally I enjoy writing short stories, most are from my mind with no real historical backing, but hey thats what story telling is right? If there is a fair amount of responses I was thinking maybe to start a thread to discuss this kind of thing. I'll post one of my shorter ones once I get the scanner up.

Do you mean your stories are set in Roman times and that they don't tell the story of a documented historical person? Or are they modern-set?

Just in case, you might be interested in the Historical Novel Society:

http://www.historicalnovelsociety.org/

It covers all aspects of the genre including adventure, literary, alternative histories, mysteries, romance, short stories etc.

Thanks viventius, im heading over there now. And I just meant any stories, or poems, or whatever, no real time period. The one I am working on now is a world of my own creation, with a medieval sprinkling.

This is a story I made up in about 40 minutes.

The battle scene is nothing spectacular; being written up in approximately 7 minutes (the battle description is far from complete). The story was my entry in RTW Heaven's Warstory Contest, objective of which was to write something based on a screenshot. In this case, a battle between Brutii and Gaul. I like Julii more, so in the end I decided upon making the "Sons of Mars" campaign faction leader the protagonist, while giving Brutii a less important, but somehow to the story significant role.

Someday I will elaborate on the story.


RTW Heaven's War Story Forum has some great stories, plots of most of which take place in the time of the Roman Republic.
