I am putting together a 'book' based upon a description of race relations given in an article by Marilyn "Mara" Wasserman, the Bethesda beta tester, who was the author of King Edward and all the Barenziah books for TES II: Daggerfall. It is currently called: Mara's View.
Mara's View url: http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=720
She wants to have her fave scholar as the author, and I thought it might be interesting to have him do a commentary on the views of Mara, the Goddess. As 'Mara' is the Dev's online moniker it seemed natural... And then Razorwing had this bright idea (which he denies - time for more detective work, even though he is always correct, except in his dismissive opinions of his own work!) to have yet another commentator = multiple schitzophrenia for me.
At this point I have made a start on the work, but I am not entirely sure that I have the feel to truly represent the thoughts of a 'Mother' Goddess.' Well actually I am damn sure I do not. It's the beard, it keeps getting in the way!
So I was hoping that there is a lady out there in our community who would lend a helping hand? Do you perhaps have the wit and caringness to have a bash? Age no object, it is not about whether you are a mother, more whether you can think yourself into the role and then write as you will... the feel is all important.
Check the Mara's View thread and if you have a couple of hours to spare give it a try. Either tabula rasa, just create a post, or pm me with your thoughts or offerings.
I am always happy to collaborate, so do not feel shy...
ps: for the purposes of political correctness this offer is open to the gentlemen too, natch
