Any interest in the following?
I made a script for a notecard dispenser that acts like a card catalog. You get lists sorted by author or title or category.
The idea would be that people (players) would package their fiction/nonfiction/poetry/yarns up in a notecard and the owner (me?) would stick the NC into the inventory of the giver object (a short row of books). Then, you'd be "published" and folks could truly browse some books at the library.
The first line of the NC has to adhere to the convention of "author | title | category" with the pipe character as separator.
I'd say that Valesk RPs would count, but they should be re-written as regular prose, or as a play. Things copyrighted out in the real world are of course verboten. Original prose or poetry is awesome. The history portions of the Valesk web site could be added in.
Thoughts?

We'd actually spoke about doing something like this before. Not sure if there was a reason we didn't move forward with it.

As someone who has always wanted to write small stories and pieces of books for people to read in Valesk, perhaps for quest reasons kinda like in the Elder Scrolls where you pick up a book on magic, herbology, or sneaking and get some experience, I am highly supportive of this idea! It would motivate a lot of people to write and donate this stuff for others to use and read for a great immersive experience~

As the person trying to get the library in Aberwyth up and running again... I support this! We have various libraries over the sim and it would be nice to see a collection of actual reads throughout them. We had the idea awhile back but I think more important matters steered our focus. I would love this! I think the giver you have would be amazing Eph. A lot of book givers just give you a dropped down menu that is a mess.

I'd love this...Would give us the opportunity to have 'canon' books in our lore. Lusty Argonian Maid style. Names that could pop up in RP and be recognized. I know I have quite the list of books that Denny has dictated in the past that would be nice to mix in for skill ups. Maybe a book on etiquette to help someone raise their SS? Or various other books for other skills? I know that would make rank ups a bit easier for some of the more abstract traits.

Books Galore! Thu, Nov 19 2015 9:09:12 AM PST Hey Everyone, As requested, we're going to be instituting a book giver in the library. What we need, however, is books! If you would like to submit a book to be added to the Aberwyth Library, send it via the suggestion app on the website! I'm personally looking for someone to write '1001 Ways to Break an Elf', 'The Kobold That Stole Yule', and 'The Succubus and I'. Thanks and happy writing! le suggestion app: isleofvalesk.weebly.com/suggestion-form.html
