Closed

The creators of Thimbleweed Park are putting a huge library in the game, where the players can explore quite a few books. Books, that are need to be written, and so they are counting on anyone with a creative vein to submit a small book excerpt with title and two random (or not) pages from it.

If you want the details, you can check the info at the link. Submissions are open till 2016.08.29

I remember something similar in Dreamfall Chapters. There was a kind of competition in which you could submit your original music for a chance to be in the game as background music. They had to cancel the competition because of critics. Generally is a bad idea asking for free work.

Well, yes, but in this case, the creators are the critics, and who would not want their book on e.g. Lamentations of a Lemon be displayed in a game :)

Sorry, I meant "criticisms"

Ah, thanks for letting me know this, just looked up the criticism over the Dreamfall music submission. Well, good points there, I can see how professional writers could say that this is the same case, get a few lines of books and titles fast, for free. Still, I think that with the content so small, this can go better.
