Hey everyone!

I've got somewhat of an interesting... something for you guys. Well, I've been back playing Minecraft again, and on my new favorite vanilla server, I was actually approached by the server admin late at night a couple days ago. He was working on setting up a new Minecraft game type, based of the game Day Z.

Now, I'm not sure if you have heard of Day Z, but basically it's a realistic zombie survival game, made by a team modifying the engine of a shooter.

Anyway, back to point.

He asked me to test the game out while it's being worked on, and I have, eventually leading up to tonight when we were testing a pretty much stable beta version. We got a bit off track with creative mode in the world, and I ended up finding the book writing options, so we toyed with the idea of having a couple findable journals for the players. Just to add a bit of depth between, well... running for your life.

So, to you guys. I know we're all writers here, and while I was already working on some logs of my own, I thought maybe I might as well throw it out to you guys. If you are feeling creative, and want something you wrote in a game, here's your chance. I'm going to submit a batch when I finish, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind having a few extra stories to pad it out.

So basically, if you are itching to write a couple two-three paragraph logs of your life before the dead started rising, you totally can! I think he wanted mostly before stuff, laced with suspicion of what is to come. I'm sure a couple crazier journals of madmen seeing the walking dead would be fine too.

Or you know. You could talk about your socks. That's what normal people write about isn't it? :D

Anyway, post here with your journal entries if you are interested!

Hmmm...

Consider this post reserved for when I have some time to write. :D
