Back in 2010, I wrote a “GameLit” novel for NaNoWriMo, the month-long write-a-thon in November. It was based on my D&D 4e group, and featured the adventures of Lyr, my elf cleric of Silvanus as she shifted from following one god to another.
It’s actually not terrible, and I had copies printed for all of the players in my group on Lulu. And promptly forgot about it. There wasn’t really a market for GameLit at the time– if you’ve followed my blog, you’ve seen my game writeups that blend the narrative with game mechanics. Little did I know that I was writing GameLit, a genre that has developed over the last 15-20 years, along with the very popular LitRPG genre. I didn’t even know about An Archive of Our Own until a couple of years ago.
There are twelve chapters and an appendix, unless I pull some of the other adventure ficlets I wrote for this character and add them in.
