Here is another post from our Eve Correspondent contest. This was written by Kevin, a relatively new player to Eve Online. See what he has to say and don’t be afraid to give your feedback on this entry.
In eighteen months of playing Eve, I’ve made it a point to explore as much of the game as possible without the influence of established players or the direction large corporations. I came into the game among a group of friends and was inspired by blogs such as the 0.0 Experiment, where people set out to see things from a different perspective than the accepted norm. I’ve tried hard to preserve the sense of wonder that one feels in discovering new things, something many Eve players lose under the tutelage of others who have seen it all before. This brought us to unique discoveries; I’ve learned things that have surprised some of the most veteran Eve players.
At the same time I understand just how much more there is to see in New Eden. So many players feel they’ve seen it all and have settled into just one aspect of this massive sandbox, yet they’ve never been a part of some of the most interesting parts of the game. I have recently entered a new chapter in my Eve experience; with my friends largely moving on from Eve, I went in search of new experiences. After more than a year of industry, PVE, and wormholes, I landed in The Skunkworks, a highsec PVP corp like none other. I’ve started a blog documenting my experiences which may best illustrate my writing style and approach to storytelling:

Outside of Eve, I’ve been an avid PC gamer since 1991. From the start I spent as much game time flying in space as possible, from Wing Commander and X-Wing to Homeworld and Sins of a Solar Empire. Science fiction is my passion, and most of the games, literature, and movies I most enjoy center around it.
Why would I be a great writer for CCP and Eve? I approach the game with a sense of passion, wonder, and enthusiasm. I can capture all that, taking the reader on a journey with me, weaving a personal story rather than simply retelling events.
Also, I understand the value of brevity without sacrificing detail: this message is just 355 words long.
