I'm interested, but I have questions about what to make and submit.

For a pure text novel, it would be writing the text and then using a text viewer to display it on a C64. This is basically making the C64 an ebook viewer. To be honest, I am not so keen on reading ebooks on my C64. I usually do this in bed, and eventually, my ebook viewer falls on my face when I fall asleep. That would hurt a lot with my 1084S CRT.

Or should the novel have some retro and/or C64 reference?
Or can we also submit a text adventure?
What about graphic novels?

iAN is right

*undeleted*

@release: released is released and cannot be unreleased... so don't drink/do drugs and release...

@category: this is what MISC is for, we don't need no C64-shorty-story

@compo: some rules would be good, though...

You can't unrelease what's released, I expect mods to undelete the entry.

It was just an idea, no rules. I don't care anymore, but anyone can pick it up.

What is the deadline for this compo? And it must be unique self written stuff, I presume? Some rules would be great. Otherwise peeps will just mass convert already existing novels etc. Or that is ok?

If anything, you should add Text credits if you wrote it, done it for you this time.

I beg for a new category called 'C64 short story' or something like that. I hope there are many sceners around ho would like to write short stories, poems, or even novels for the C64, having no free-minded writer communities around. This would certainly help to add some 'content' to C64 releases, and the best of them could easily inspire a text-based adventure game. (Don't take this as a promise, but if your story grabs our souls this can easily happen.)
