Feel free to show us some of your work to demonstrate why you should be a writer.

We're not going to take your word for it.

Please write us an example quest.

This ^^^

And also, if you've read the other applications, you'll know that we're not actively looking for quest writers at the moment.

An Opening Quest in the hometown:
Starly's Cry
You Go to your friends house to find him in his room and his mother trying to get him out.
Mother:"Come on baby.... Oh hi <name>, Alex wont come out of his room, he is worryed about the starly's in the area. If you could catch a starly and bring it back it would surely be apreciated".
Reward: 400xp

Its a little rough but it can be fixed, i can write more

Nice and simple, easy to do. I think the exp is a bit of a high reward though.

 How about something more complex. I know starter quests tend to be simple, but that wasn't really convincing, seeing as anyone could have written that.
It's ghost dammit, GHOST!

Also spell check. A quest write is not so useful if they don't have good spelling (and grammar - but yours seems to be fine).
I'm not saying to break out the 5th tense but, you know - Spell Check.

Also I would expect a quest writer to have quests which other people usually can't come up with, be it in terms of creativity, of complexity/simplicity together, on the length and on how the writer makes the player feel involved in.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?
