Howdy-doody 'Kid!
Thanks for takin' the time to comment.
Yeh, I like curling up with a good book, but I like writing more.
Yeh, I admit, it's fluffy...
Anyway, what got me about your post was this here liddle question-comment thing;

Dare I say I feel inspired. The thing is I'm scared I don't have enough knowledge of the Oddworld Universe to make a good story. So far the only Oddworld game I've ever played has been Stranger's Wrath.

I let you in on a liddle secret, I put it at the beggining of the story, but you may have missed it, so I'll tell yer. *beckons* Ready?
I haven't actually played Stranger's Wrath. No, seriously, it's true, I haven't. Haven't even got an Xbox.
I've only played the first two games, Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus, donkey's years ago. But I saw a picture of Stranger on an Oddworld site (thought he looked like a demented scarecrow back then), and I got inspired too, I
really wanted to write something, so I went on the internet and researched, I've actually got a Stranger character study around here somewhere made entirely of Google found pictures. I looked at a couple of walkthroughs as well but because it was a new game, no one would tell me the endin', so finally I emailed a walkthrough writer and asked very nicely if he could give me the Stranger's Wrath storyline, and he did.
And this is the story my overactive imagination came up with.
You're luckier, the first three games; Abe's Oddysee, Abe's Exoddus and Munch's Oddysee are older and infomation about them is everywhere and picture's help as well.
So seriously, just get someone to give you the basics, look up some general information on the forums (there's a great databank on the RPG thread) and the internet, and then just go with the flow, wing it. It also helps to put at the beginning that you're flying blind and please be lenient with mistakes.
Wow, that was long winded...hrm, I rambled....oh well!
Hope this helps ya Kiddo.
