•Welcome To The Bookworm Studios: REBOOT!•

Bookworm Studios was the original young authors collab on scratch.
It was created by humhumgames to create books on the scratch website, fully illustrated and edited.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Do you like writing?
Bookworm Studios runs multiple threads for young authors.

You can write a chapter for the chapter-by-chapter book here. It is run by whisperfur and it explains itself.

There are multiple competitions run by Mintfang here.
Some of these are writingy, some of these are arty. There is sure to be a competition to suit what you want to do!

Bookworm Studios also has a library on the forums run by cheeseater here.
There is also a scratch project based ebooks gallery here.
There are monthly judgings of the best ebooks in the gallery. Winners of the competitions also get into the forum library and the forum library keeps a record of the chapter-by-chapter stories.

You do not need to be a member of bookworm studios to use these
threads, but you do need an account if you want to have your writings in the forum library or have your ebooks in the gallery.

This thread is to help scratchers create their own scratch ebooks and get read by people on scratch.
You can join as an illustrator, a writer, or an editor. You can also join as more than one of those posts.
If you join as a writer, you can post your writings to be edited by editors. Once your editor is happy, your writing will be put in the forums library. If you want to continue, you can put your writing into a scratch project to be illustrated and put in the gallery.

Alternatively, you can get your straight off ebook edited and illustrated.
For a tutorial on scratch ebooks, ideas about them, how to make them etc., check the ebooks gallery.

In this thread, please stay on topic. If you want to just talk about writingy babble and that, the old topic is here.
We also support The Write To The Death Competition, Room Of Books
and PussnBoots writing Club.

cheeseeater · 2013-04-21 02:02:24

Whisperfur · 2013-04-21 07:05:33

pinnipediator · 2013-04-21 16:34:42

Thanks smile I spent a long time on it smile .
Now.

Anyone have any ideas to add to the gallery?

Nomolos · 2013-04-21 16:59:16

what do you want to join as?: Writer and Editor.
do you promise to check at least twice a month and alert us if you are leaving temporarily?: Sure! If I don't though, I'll probably hide in a corner so I don't die. *Gulps loudly*
do you promise to stay active in the sub-threads and always has a writing project going when you can?: Yup. I'm always writing.
give us an example of your writing:(whatever you're joining as, fill this out): Okey dokey!

The moon shone bright against the night sky, but it's light didn't seem to reach the ground. Orlan stood watch on a tower built into the castle wall, the wooden boards creaking under him as he scanned the landscape. Then his eyes caught something. There was something glowing, in the trees surrounding the castle. Leaning over the bar of the tower, he squinted into the darkness. Suddenly, a momentary purple flash illuminated the forest, and Orlan stumbled backwards as something flew into the air in the distance, hanging above the trees before dissipating into the air. He recognized the color of the light, and his heart raced up into his throat as he realized what he'd just seen. The symbol had been summoned, and the castle was under attack.
Ravish had returned.

if you want to illustrate, show us an example:
if you want to edit, promise not to be pompous, and only give kind, constructive and friendly criticism: I'll try my best not to be pompous, and will only edit if given permission, and if I point out mistakes, I promise not to act frustrated or put down the author.

mintfang · 2013-04-21 20:13:19

Welcome! smile

pinnipediator · 2013-04-23 16:36:36

Yay. New members. Now let's do stuff.
Hey nomo, we could keep an archive for write to the death.
We could keep a record of all the entries, naturally, with the permission of the entrant, but keeping a record would definitely be worth it.
What d'you think? It's only a matter of gettig permission then copy/pasting it into the library. smile

I made an ebook template on GIMP. I think it's quite good actually.

Use it if you want to?

Niice.
On my ebook tutorial, I did mention that it didn't necessarily have to be writing that you put in an ebook remember. I'm thinking of doing a 'useful animations sketchbook'.

Sounds cool! smile My ebook template didn't work properly, and it looked a bit messy(i'am rubbish at drawing on and off scratch!)

Whisperfur · 2013-04-25 16:20:34

Pinni, when the site transfers are you going to repopen this thread?
I'll reopen the chapter by chapter.
Who ever's doing the library can you save the stories so they're not lost?

These are just suggestions,, not orders XD

How do you reopen threds? I'll have to do somthing with the library because i created it, will i have to copy everthing to a word doc and the remake the topic on 2.0? I want to make sure that i copy the bbcode to as that took ages!
Thanks, Cheeseeater

I'm not done with my Hybrids book yet, and its on hold due to Write to DEATH and Arabian Nights and Stuff, but once I finish it we could maybe add it to the gallery? It still needs a bit of editing and cleanup crew so after I do all that it could be added hopefully? smile

cheeseeater · 2013-04-28 01:48:19

Has anyone got a book or poems that i could put in the library? wink
Some great ideas for books and stuff everyone! smile
