That's not what I meant.  Ok, part of what I meant -- being an unknown 
makes it much harder for you to write it.  Of course, all writers start out 
as unknowns.  But BNW has been written almost exclusively by Matt.  I think 
that fleshing out chars in stats in later books was done by someone else, 
but other than that, it's Matt's gig.  So I don't think at any point they 
were considering picking up additional writers.  Also, it would have to fit 
in with the whole back story of BNW to get into a book -- a back story we 
don't have yet.  (One of my only real gripes with the game line.  Give me 
the whole story, then flesh it out.  Don't keep it hidden from the GM for 
years.  Unfortuantely, this is a tendency of many game lines.)

So even if Matt decides the team fit, then he'd be the one writing it.

Your best bet?  Write it up and submit it to Pyramid.  They pay 3 cents a 
word (which is rather good, and if you want product they double the 
amount.  One 3000 word article ends up about $200 in stuff!), you get 
professional credit in the industry, and we all get to 
share.  Offical?  No.  But better than just a website. :)

The Definace inner circle runs on trust too.  You still haven't answered 
some of my other questions.  Why don't they want to work with one side or 
the other?  What are they doing that members of both sides aren't that 
makes this group so much better?  How are they protecting themselves?  What 
are their goals?  Why are they more effective than any other faction?  I'm 
curious!
