A ghostly proposition
by cj592 @ 2008-06-14 - 14:06:37

I have received this emal..

Hello,

Hello

I saw your work on textadventures.co.uk and would like to know if you interest in my project.

At last I m getting some recognition for the games I have created.

I would like to make a text version of 'The Secret of Monkey Island'.

Ooh, I really like the Monkey Island games. But that sounds like quite a daunting task

I can use the game dialogues and story but I need a ghostwriter to convert each game's graphics to a text version/description.

A ghost writer? What do they do? And now I start thinking that perhaps this person hasn't seen my work, otherwise they'd know just how bad my spelling and descriptions can be

My budget for the full work is 800 US$. (400 first and 400 when the work is done).

Not exactly rolling in money then

Are you interested in this work ?

Thank you for your answer.

And that's how it ends. No signature.... in fact, come to think of it, they haven't even addressed it to me. I am beginning to think that this person hasn't really picked me out of hundreds of people because of my talent after all!

Bah!

So... in other words he wants to use someone else's plot, characters, story... and can't even be bothered to do any creative writing for it either...

Is he officially the laziest person in the known universe?

Hello,

I saw your work on blog.co.uk and would like to know if you interest in my project.

I would like to make a text version of 'The Tweenies Go Postal'.

I need a ghostwriter to write an email asking people to become a ghostwriter.

My budget for the full work is 12p, a packet of sherbert lemons and a used copy of the feel-good novel of 1972, "Bertram and the Lonely Stoat". (12p first and lemons/book when the work is done).

Are you interested in this work ?

Thank you for your answer.

Hello,

I saw your comment on blog.co.uk and would like to know if you interest in my project.

I would like to make a text version of the comment

I need a ghostwriter to wipe the screen and peel off the stamps to stick on letters asking people to become a ghostwriter.

My budget for the full work is 13p (hah that's more than you offered), one sherbert lemon with the sherbet already sucked out, and a used copy of the feel-good novel "Lady Chatterley's Lover" (Best not ask how it has been used). .

Are you interested in this work ?

Thank you for your answer.

Hello,

I saw your reply on blog.co.uk and would like to know if you interest in my project.

I would like to make a multi-million pound all-action movie version of the reply including a car chase, an attractive Scottish Blog Girl and an exploding sherbert lemon.

I need a ghostwriter to forge the letter from my doctor allowing me release from this room with it's nice padded wallpaper.

My budget for the full work is 47 million pounds and a small nail-file called Fred. (Nail-file now, money upon success of movie)

Are you interested in this work ?

Thank you for your answer.
