JOB OVERVIEW

Hi there, I'm Helen, and I'm the founder of a company called Trove. (www.trove.is).

Trove is a free choose your own adventure game x personality quiz that you play everyday. Over time, it builds up to a stronger and more honest profile of who someone is, beyond what resumes and other profiles can share about a person today. My goal here is a more authentic world... and it starts with play!

I'm looking for a writer to help with crafting short and medium length stories for Trove.

The stories right now are roughly 70% human-authored with the remainder being 30% AI-assisted writing (because players can do whatever they want, so we use AI to be able to generate adaptable pages. So we'll be using your core stories, characters, plot lines, while using AI to allow for adaptability.

Your responsibilities will include ideating plotlines (with an eye for understanding also what we can learn from someone based on what they do within your stories), writing the stories in our proprietary authoring system as well as testing/editing them to get them ready for users to play.

For reference, each short story currently takes me roughly 3-5 hours to ideate, test, write and consider ready for publishing. I'd expect you to be better + faster than me... but I might also want to transition us into writing longer stories. So for now I'd say I expect you to write at least 2-3 playable short stories per week.

We'll work mainly off of ---------- on pre-set times you're available, on a daily basis ideally. I'm happy to figure out a schedule that works for both of us.

In terms of working with me, I'm someone who is reasonably relaxed and not micro-manage-y, but very detail-oriented. Well I guess I can be micro-manage-y, but that only happens if I don't trust you and trust is the hallmark of any good collaboration. I am absolutely a perfectionist though. To learn more about me, you can find some of our other job posts on the official website and that should give you a sense of the kind of company I'm building.

You would be a good fit for this is you already write fiction novels, like reading about your MBTI, playing interactive fiction games, are a part of fandoms, like fanfiction or manga or anime. If you're a good problem solver, detail oriented, and a perfectionist yourself, then you should apply and let me know why you're a good fit.

FOR NEXT STEPS:

1) Please play through this game: ---------- and also this one ----------

This should take you less than 10 minutes in total. It will give you a better sense of what each story is and how it plays out.

2) Write me a note on what you liked about each of the stories and what you didn't like. Please be honest and give your true thoughts, because this will help me calibrate on what your taste is with regards to plot lines and also prose.

3) Please link me to some of your writing.

If we move forward, the next step is a paid trial, to just write one story. The pay will be $14 USD for this one trial story.

Thank you!
