Chris Avellone offers (more) advice for would-be narrative designers!

It offers some pretty decent insight into how one might go about making the attempt at breaking into a (rare!) narrative design position with a game development company. Some notable points:

If you can’t find a narrative design position (and they’re rare), sometimes integrating yourself into a game company can be done through another position…and you can make better contacts that way.

And:

In general, most narrative-focused companies have specific tests they send to test applicants, so as a result, your portfolio may not matter to them. Don?t feel that you have to have samples to show first, the proof of your skills will come in how you demonstrate your skills in the test they send. And as no surprise, it?ll likely be focused on one of their franchises, so be sure you?ve played them, know the lore, know the scripting conventions, characters, and more.

Give it a read, Dragons and Dragonettes, if this is the sort of thing you’d one day like to try your hand at!
