When playing an MMORPG, do you ever say to yourself, “Self, it’d be cool to write my own quests,” or “God, I can write better stuff than this!” Well, if you play City of Heroes and are a professional author/writer, you may just get that chance.

NC Soft has announced the first three authors they’ve chosen for the Guest Author Program. Made possible with the Mission Architect tool, this special program allows writers and upcoming story designers to essentially design their own quests within the City of Heroes universe. Now, while the Guest Author Program is exclusive to professional writers, average Joe Shmoe players can still create their own storylines in City of Heroes using the Mission Architect tool and share them with others.

The first four guest author missions will launch in-game on Tuesday, October 13 and can be found in-game by opening the browser inside one of the Architect Entertainment Buildings.

Here are brief descriptions of the Guest Author missions:
