Cascadia Writing

Fallout: Cascadia is a large scale, international, fan project for Fallout 4, which I have been part of the writing team for for the past year. Fallout 4 is a first and third person, meaning you can explore looking through the eyes of your character, or from an angle behind your character, action role-playing game set 210 years after a nuclear war ended an advanced, alternate United States. The project has been going since 2016, and has made a lot of progress recently. What the project attempting to do with the project is essentially use some of Fallout 4s existing assets, such as houses, various enemies, armors, and weapons, combined with new assets of our own, as well as remade gameplay systems and a new story as well as a new map, to make a new game still set in the Fallout universe.

I'm happy with how much I ultimately managed to write, but if I could do it again I would. The plot got away from me in the end, and I think it ended up being a little too derivative. Still, for a 10th grader I think it's a pretty decent tale. You can read Asphodel here,  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WNshEVxl4tCBcZ1kKhf3f6ywIxQX9j8r-xhP8wzJ1KM/edit?usp=sharing

It's helped me develop as a writer, as I have to quickly plot out a story and characters for the story. Here are a few that I think are my best, so far Staring at My Reflection: Staring at my reflection, I could not see much. The mirror was oddly dull and indefinite, and while it was certainly my reflection for it moved when I did, I could not distinguish any features upon this reflection’s face beyond the most vague. So, I left and returned to the mirror with a dish towel, which I had dampened. I wiped away at the mirror, and thought it clean, but when I looked into it again, again I only saw a dull visage, devoid of definition and specificity. I cleaned the mirror more, looking right at it, when I noticed a thing most disconcerting. The reflection was not mirroring my m...

Extended Essay

In the IB program, you have to write a lot. One of the important things you have to write is an Extended Essay, which is supposed to show your research skills and essay composition skills. I wrote mine on the book Never Let Me Go  by Kazuo Ishiguro, focusing primarily on the genre of the book.
