Hi Gabrielle,

Many thanks for getting in touch and I am delighted in your interest.

I would love to contact you directly in game but I am out of the country right now on a RL job for a client. I can connect to the forums but I cannot get into my EVE account. It will be the 1st or 2nd February before I get back I'm afraid.

So to you and anyone else who has tried to contact me via Eve mail in the last few days I can only apologise and promise I will respond as soon as I can.

If there are any questions you would like to raise here I will answer but if you would prefer to be discrete then please wait until I can get back to eve mail.

I would love to volunteer.

Thank you all for your comments and the interest you have shown.

Firstly we are not seeking 'volunteers' and there would be a commission payable on all work we published. All payments would be in ISK.

I have been 'guilty' of posting similar threads on other forums and apologised when made aware of my error. However one outcome has been the level of reward we offered was considered 'laughable' (I think this was one succint reply I had..). We would appreciate comments from anyone interested on what they felt was a reasonable market rate. We have looked at comparable websites and at the rates offered as our guide - we could be way off the mark so let me know what YOU think is a reasonable deal. Note the use of the keyword 'reasonable'

Volunteers are welcome and we certainly wouldn't turn someone away if they were just starting out and wanted an avenue to 'trial' their work. Be warned though, that all articles/guides etc would be open to criticism by the inclusion of publicly viewable comments - some of which may not be very pleasant to read.

We won't allow abuse of any kind but highly critical and even caustic comments would probably be the norm.

I think one area where we insist on a level of competency would be in spelling and grammar so while I thank you for your interest Gabriel, I would suggest you stop texting into the forum from your mobile and converse with me properly if you wish us to take you seriously. I did like your attempt tho'....

If any of you are serious at all I would ask you to contact me via eve mail and if possible give us an indication of your past work experience or if you have none then an outline of what you think you can do and what qualifies you..

"see correction in next post"
i.e. Have you run missions for the last 3 years non-stop and know every detail inside out. Simple stuff like that..

I cannot connect to eve mail at the moment as I am out of the country but I will respond on my return - on the 3rd February is my present estimation.

Our website is not yet ready to go public so there is no hurry to provide material but we would like 'open' the site with a substantial amount of original works and especially on subjects such as the impact the new releases/patches have brought about.

There is plenty of scope and as the subject line asks 'Original thinkers required..'

Just wanted to mention this.I just finished up a very short EVE fanfic. Its called "total commitment". You should be able to find it somewhere in this forum.

Thank you for your interest and I'm much encouraged by a few 'raised' hands..

This includes yours Gabriel

Vinoda - I liked what you have on your blog but it doesn't appear particularly EVE related and this is where we wish to focus our site. If you have some ideas for similar work with an EVE theme then we would be interested. see below on plagiarism/copyright.

Albetta - If you are keen to provide something then we would be happy to post your fanfic but we would prefer if you done something specifically original for our site and the item you mention could be posted as a link to previous work. see below on plagiarism/copyright.

Istvaan - sorry but all compensation will be in ISK only and you will probably be aware it is against forum rules to advertise anything that involves RL monetary rewards. If you are interested in some extra ISK or just the fun of seeing your name against a popular and much read article then contact me. see below on plagiarism/copyright.

---------------------------------------------

We do not want to be accused of plagiarism or copyright theft and would rather not simply cut and paste from an existing site.

Our website is not yet complete and we do not wish to 'go public' without a reasonable amount of original material on view.

So until we are 'public' and if you wish to submit something then please send an email to keilsonter@eve-corporation.co.uk with either an attachment of the article or a brief note to confirm you are the copyright holder and giving us permission to use an article on your personal blog or whatever. We would publish this along with the article body.

Once our website is live you will be able to submit articles directly to the site as a registered user.

You can also send me an eve mail to register an interest and when I return next week I will forward details of compensation etc.

As posted previously we clearly need some guidance on what would constitute reasonable fees as the figures we have posted elsewhere were ridiculed...

To folks still unaware of the extent of the debacle, refer to here (Warfare & Tactics) , here (Missions and Complexes) and here (Sell Orders).

Make you own conclusions.

I'm interested on your post and would like to see if I can volunteer my time to write. I will send you an eve-mail. I look forward to more.

Thank you to all those who have contacted me via eve-mail.

I have responded to all inquiries and am very grateful to everyone who has contacted me to register an interest in publishing their work.

We would ask anyone interested to get in touch asap as we intend to open the website to public view in the next couple of weeks.

Hello Keil, I would love to write for your website and I eagerly raise my hand. You can check out some of my EVE related writing here on my blog. I havn't written any short stories for EVE in a while but I can supply you with a short story that I wrote recently so you can check my style and ability. An EVE mail with further information would be much appreciated.

P.S. Please excuse any mistakes on the blog, they are mainly down to lazy proof reading

Posted - 2010.02.09 22:41:00 - [23]

 

I'm curious enough to ask for more information. If you're still looking for potential writers, send me a message.

Posted - 2010.02.14 22:59:00 - [25]

 

I'm please to announce our website is now active and accepting submissions from budding authors and 'old hacks' alike

Please visit Www.Solar-Sentinel.co.uk and view 'Writing For Us' to see if it appeals.

We would like to thank the authors who have already submitted or have agreed to submit in the future. Without you we will have no material and you are our most valued resource.
