What a decade it has been. The stories from EVE are countless and the people who know them best are the people who created them, the people who lived them. You.

We are reaching out for your help in conserving and bringing to life the greatest stories of EVE's first decade and to make it more exciting there's potential for great prestige and amazing prizes...but for more information you have to read the new dev blog by CCP Torfifrans.

This actually excites me quite a bit. It was stories from eve that ultimately got me playing. The most awesome thing about eve is that there ARE such stories to talk about and that in game events more or less count toward the overall story.

Will be interesting to see how many Russian & Japanese blokes try to submitt stories in English after translator program hacks it apart Lol
Sounds like fun for all those aspiring & closet writers in Eve.

This will be very, very cool. It really is the stories that draws us to this game and keeps us here.

I approve of this focus on player driven content. The story of Eve is not how Empress Jamyl had a coronation or how the Jove routed the Amarr fleet and enabled Minmatar independence or how an admiral crashed his Nyx into a station. The story of Eve is the one we create by undocking and shooting people (or in some cases, opening up the corp hangar and stealing/disbanding everything, or logging in to the forums and posting).

Happy you like it guys, we're really excited to see what stories emerge. The fact that these can inspire books, comics, films or TV series is rather mind-blowing to a lot of us. Big smile

There's a part of me that views the idea of EVE TV shows or films with a sense of trepidation - TV/film tie-ins with games are almost universally terrible. Please don't do this unless you're absolutely certain it isn't going to suck!

Sounds great! EVE did produce some fantastic stories over its time, when they find a talented writer this has serious potential to be very entertaining.

I thought the ventures with books set in the EVE universe was lesson enough to make anyone cringe at the phrase "write a story for EVE" Lol

I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.

I don't have much of an in-game tale to tell, as I've spent most of my Eve life making up a couple instead.

I'm officially registering my interest in any possible involvement with the creative writing process, if you'll consider it. I do enjoy telling stories in the universe of Eve Online, and I've a bit of a track record in this area Blink I'd drop everything to get involved with the stories of these reprobate piratical carebears Big smile
