2005-2008
I have extensive experience writing player-submitted content to expand on the world of text-based roleplaying games. Text-based roleplaying games (RPGs) are a format for readers, relying on quality, descriptive writing to enhance the gaming environment by immersing the reader/player in a world devoid of graphics.My work has been published in Avalon, the Legend Lives, an online role-playing game.

To date, I have…

  • written and published over 40 world locations.
  • created custom objects, such as non-player characters (NPCs) and clothing.
  • acted as an independent consultant for the administrators on the ‘libraries’ feature.
  • been hired by peers to create custom scripts for weddings and other events.
  • assembled and published (in game) volumes of writing by fellow players.
  • written fan fiction published (in game).
  • over 8 years of gaming experience.

A credit for my contributions appears under my maiden name (Lauren Fick) on Avalon’s website.
