Thank you, I have posted before.... quite a while back but I can't remember why. That shot isn't exactly very natural (since I had a bright light shining in my face at the time)but it's a nice one and in-keeping with the style of the mag at the time before they moved into black and white pics of the staff.

So Rhianna, how exactly is it that you got involved in Beyond Divinity?

Also, any hints on what the novella is about?

Welcome. I don't know whether you have already got used to our particular Forum-Humour here, but I think it's still ... at least rare.

Welcome to the larian forums

I can imagine it can be hard to be constantly marketed as 'daughter of the discworld guy' :P His books did made me start reading novels again though.

How did you get in contact with Larian for the writing job? I've seen some articles at the CVG site, small step from gaming journalism to game dev job aparently.
/me glances at el shrimpo...

Well...it happened a little like this...

I really liked the original DivDiv and supported it a lot in the press, I think Zone's score was the highest for a mag in the UK. A year later, just after I left to go full time freelance, I got a call from Leo (Digital Jesters) and Swen asking if I'd be interested in editing what was then Riftrunner, as they'd used a UK journalist previously to edit the DivDiv dialogues but he wasn't available this time. And the rest, as they say, is history. The novella was originally going to be about 10,000 words but it was increased to 21.5k because Larian wanted to give players something a little bit extra and different with the game. It's the longest piece of fiction I've ever written, which mildly worried Swen for a while, but I think he's happy with the way it has turned out It basically focuses on the storyline between the end of DivDiv and the start of BeyondDiv.

Thanks for your welcome.

Rhi

I like it bien-cuit.

btw, for those interested in D: fiction, check your :dd: game directory, the game comes with a pdf with a nice background story. I think it was about the battle between the lord of destruction and humans.

If a lot of players find the novella great, it could be the start of a new carrier How's that for genetics, start out as journalist and switch to auther

Yes, that's true : Has its own small background story.

Apart from that - don't forget me !

I was so embarassed as I found out they had really included my texts into the game ...
