So, I've been thinking of writing a book.
Seriously.
My inspiration lies within the HUGE amounts of mediocre books on heavy metal music, and the positive reviews they all get. Since each book is claimed to be the new "Metal Bible," I've decided to take a shot at literally writing a fucking bible... The most metal fucking bible ever.
Currently, i have nothing written, but i've been planning the format a little. The book will start with a history of metal, which will include references to famous metal musicians, places, and songs. It will be mostly made up of ridiculous bullshit claims and "facts," and most most likely often contradict itself, for humor's sake.
Next, I was thinking of a guide-to-metal section, listing the origins of each major subgenre, and explaining what makes it sacred to metal in general. Then, maybe a section on how to be a "proper metalhead." This will include advice on everyday lifestyle, religious holiday, ect... The book could end with an appendix, that will contain lists, trivia, and other tidbits of information.
Now, I know nothing about writing even so much as an e-book. If anyone could recommend a good book-formatting software, if any exist, that would help.
WHERE YOU COME IN:
I'm obviously going to need help from other writers, seeing as I'll never get this project done otherwise. If you're interested in contributing in ANY way, shape, or form, PLEASE tell me. You don't even have to be a dedicated metalhead, and anyone is welcome to help out. I will give full credit for everything you write.
Once i've gotten a decent amount of people who want to be involved, I'm gonna figure out a way to organize us. Possibly a forum of sorts?
Thanks in advance!
