Writing
A more detailed overview of some of my personal writing, including my biggest and most ambitious project to date, as well as the narrative proposition I wrote for my admission to NAD-UQAC's DESS program.

01
RP New Year's - 2026
This is the part I wrote for a role-play (RP) event planned and organized by another player. The action happens within the world of an old browser game. The complete lack of any animation as well as the very basic and limited gameplay features call for fully descriptive writing when it comes to character interactions, hence this style of RP.
Participating in an event like this demands a lot of communication between the participants and the organizer. As a participant, I had to send my writing within a set deadline as well as talk with the organizer and understand what type of writing she wanted. In this instance, she needed performers for a New Year's gala.
In order to write the scene, I first chose a music video I wanted my characters to interpret. I then based myself on the video and on my musical knowledge to describe both the stage, the music, and my characters' performances in a way that is hopefully easy to understand and visualize for the readers, with the video included for visual support and to play the actual music.
02
RP Halloween - 2025
Probably my craziest project, and the one I'm most proud of. This is an event I organized by myself for that same old browser game.
This one is my most ambitious Halloween event so far (I have been doing these since 2018). I wanted to try something different from the classical format this year, so I went all in on a choose-your-own-adventure style document created in Google Slides. The experience takes about 1h to get through.
As the organizer, it was my job to clearly communicate my vision to the other players who wished to participate by contributing with a text for an activity or a show. It was also my responsibility to give direction and feedback, to review each text, and to integrate all contributions to the larger project.
I also wrote all of the story, including some activities, shows, and three branching narrative segments I preplanned in Twine. In total, I wrote and dealt with close to 25k words, which became 282 slides in Google Slides. Most of my own work was realized in 5 days.
To help with communication and organization, I created a Discord server where both writers and curious bystanders could come and ask questions. I was also able to collaborate with the game's admins and get publicity within the game. It's the biggest RP project I've ever done.
Sanity scale: Insane, would probably do it again.
03
Narrative Proposition - 2024
As part of the admission process for NAD-UQAC's DESS program, we had to write a 500-word story about friendship based on St-Exupéry's Little Prince.
Before I started writing, I found a copy of the book and read through to make sure the story was fresh in my mind. This also acted as my research, helping me pinpoint the possible themes and angles I could develop in my own writing.
After some thought, I chose to explore my most developed character's childhood and his friendship with his saxophone, paralleling the relationship the Prince had with his rose.

Bonus: RP Halloween - 2023
Similar premise to the 2025 Halloween, but as a classical RP with a more unique twist in its gamification of the role-play. I organized this one as well, but with the help of my friend. It is themed to pirates and, therefore, heavily inspired by Sea of Thieves and Monkey Island.
