Looking for Myth, Legend, Fairy-tale writers! *Celtic Mythology!”
Hi there! We’re a small indie-gaming company dedicated to making our project ‘Celtic Hearts’ come to life!
We’re in need of a few writers who can write myths in a fairy-tale style for our game. Celtic Hearts as the name might imply is a game based off Celtic Mythology. We have a list of mythology and stories that need writing. Each one is expected to be about 500-2000 words, though some of the longer ones may be split into two.
This is a long-term project, with about 12 Myths lined up for the demo and more after we’ve been funded by our Kickstarter! We are looking for friendly, dedicated people who would make good additions to our team and would be willing to work with us for the long haul J
If you’re interested, please send a sample of your work, along with your rates to [email protected].
Here is a sample of the type of writing we are looking for!

Play as Fianna/ Fionnlagh (MC name is changeable) in a story inspired by Celtic Folklore and filled with mythology, adventure and romance.
Travel to the fantastical country of Irezeme which has been war-torn by two feuding races. The Fomóire Demon Clan, who’ve been gifted their powers from The Dagda, Father God of Ireland and the Tuath Dé Fae Clan, whose powers were granted to them by Brighid, the Hearth Goddess. The two clans have been fighting one another for over a century, but when the Tuath Dé Clan kills Cledwyn the Fomóire Leader and kidnaps his son, Lorccán, all bets are off, and any last civilities previously afforded by the war quickly gives way to chaos.
Whilst many villages have felt the ravages of the war raging around them, the remote village of Bhfolach has, for the most part, remained untouched…. Until rumours of a demonic halfling in the region begin to surface, and the Tuath Dé Clan sends its warriors to investigate. Instead of securing a halfling, they loot the village of its women, and take them to the warfront to be used as harlots. MC’s sister, Aofie, is among them. When MC returns to find their ransacked village to find their sister missing and their son, Áedán, frightened out of his mind, they enter the fray and set out to Fort Sióg to rescue Aofie and the rest of the village women.
Who they meet on the way and what the results of their meddling are, will be dependent on you and your sense of judgement.
Listen to Celtic Mythology stories starring the love interests (under varying aliases and in-story aliases, of course) and read to Áedán!
There will be two play-style elements to this game; the main playthrough, and then a storytelling aspect - each with their own unique art styles. Listen as the characters take you on a journey featuring the stuff of long-gone myths and legends - all the while saving your loved-ones (no pressure, Romeo) and enjoying a fun-filled adventure, of course.
· There is a choice of 6 MC sprites.
· Name and pronouns are up to you.
· What Áedán calls you is up to you!
· Forge your personality - different choices will change how the MC is able to react to certain situations.
· Your choices matter; the choices you make may well come back to haunt you, so be prepared!
· If you're a tough customer, don't fret - there are a total of 9 love interests (that's NINE! Whole love interests!) - 2 of whom are secret routes. There's someone for everyone, so happy (lovd-)hunting! :D
· Don’t want to play a romantic route- no problem! Aofie’s route is all about family, so if you don't get along with your real-life sibling? Feel free to live vicariously through MC :D
Warning (we're serious, pleader don't TL;DR xD):
While the game itself does not contain any NSFW content (hold the groans of disappointment - we have DLCs and a tumblr), there is, inconveniently, a war going on as you journey, so battles are a very real health-hazard to MC and friends. There are also mentions of torture, though warnings will be tagged on the relevant routes.
