Opportunity for Good Authors - Make Money
Hello Druchii Net
I am pleased and excited to introduce you to my newest project, Paragon Scribe. Paragon Scribe is an online magazine dedicated to showcasing the best short stories from new authors.
Paragon Scribe would like to offer the members at Druchii the chance to have their completely original work (sorry, copyright restrictions mean we can’t accept ‘fan-fiction’) published in our online magazine.
Online magazines have a poor reputation due to low quality stories, or because they become a place for a select few authors to publish work. Paragon Scribe aims to avoid this reputation by treating our publication as much like a true paper magazine as we can. We will carefully select our stories to maintain a high level of quality. We have contracts ready for our authors. We will strive to have a product that is well assembled and easy to read. We hope to present readers with a package they can read online, or print out and enjoy taking with them to peruse.
Paragon Scribe is actively seeking new authors. We aren’t locked in to any particular genre or style, so anyone can send us a story for consideration. We can’t print everything we receive, but we’ll read them all.
Come visit us at http://www.paragonscribe.com. Check out our submission guidelines, and send us your stories.
Thanks
Gavin (Brannick) and Steve Kennedy (owner of Paragon Scribe)

While running a million dollar company, singing at weddings, and his frequent jetting to Spain Elton Jon style, Dark Alliance found the time to stand on the doorstep of Games Workshop like Moses and the Pharoah and calmly state, "Let my people go."

or do they have to be fully made up?
General Kala is correct - Paragon Scribe cannot accept submissions based in a known genre, be it G-W, X-men, Star Wars etc etc (you get the drift). All work has to be completely new and from the authors mind if you will, otherwise we will suffer the wrath of the corporations!
If any of you have any questions then do ask away here or drop me an e-mail: -

Hey, I might contribute a lil bit. I did a piece a while back for coursework in english, I was planning to make it into a full story, but i never found the time. I've always wanted to do it, but maybe having a reason will persuade me to finish it. Most of my stuff, if not all, is humour based. I also have something a friend wrote for coursework as well. It is absolutely horrific. Spelling and grammar dont exist in his world. Its hilarious
Edited: Just read this, is there any let up on the "Science fiction and fantasy stories based outside of the realms of a known genre" ?

Finally; someone's put the 7th Edition Dark Elf book up for download: Here!
Grab it while you can!

Hi Celius
Paragon Scribe hopes to cater for the majority of fiction that we envisage will be sci-fi/fantasy related. However, we will consider other works as long as they are well written, whether it be modern day war, explorers in the jungle, a love story on safari (you get the gist)! So, if it is well written and presented we will consider it.
Hi Die Go
Paragon Scribe will cater solely for the English reading audience and we appreciate that this may prove a problem for folks wanting to submit work when English is not their first langauge. My suggestion Die Go would be to work with someone as a proof reader for your work, perhaps a few folks here at Druchii will give you a hand so that your work is flowing well enough to present to Paragon Scribe? There are other websites that may be in a position to help in this regard too, places like Imperial-Literature.net and Librarium Online as two examples.
Kind Regards

Sweet, I'll have to look in to this.
So if I wanted to have x have one adventure, then a while later have x go elsewhere and do something completely different that'd be okay right? So long as it isn't a longer story submitted in enstallments.

@ Seanzala and SBOD - we will honestly consider anything from a 500 word short story to a book-sized epic, as long as it is well written. Check out the updated FAQ at the website for further information: -

Whenever you have something as a "finished item" send it our way and we can discuss further.
Many thanks

Okay, I'm interested, and it gives me the motive to start writing my book anyway.
But first, some questions;
What is the difference between your American Copyright Laws and my UK Copyright Laws, and how do they effect each other (IE, are they compatible)?
Are all pieces submitted to Paragon Scribe published for hard copies, or not?
How often would you require one of your contracted writers to send something in?

I've often thought of searching for an oppurtunity like this to test out my abilites in the real world, where I can actually expect unbiased, if perhaps a little harsh, feedback from people other than my freinds and family. Then this drops in on me from out of the blue. I have to confess, contracts scare me, but I am willing to give this a shot even with all the intimidating competition from the very talented writers on this site. I'll be watching this thread closely and wandering about your website untill inspiration hits.

I would love to try. I have some skill with words as I am always told by my english teachers and anyone who reads my work. Also I have a friend who is writing a book (or trying to) and it is now up to about sixty pages. He keeps rubbing it in my face whenever he can, because he is compeditive, and he knows i am a better writer. If I could just stop being so lazy I would gladly send you a piece of writing, and this will finaly temper my friend's bragging!
