Narrative, How about you let he community help with the lore?
I propose an idea. That would be both fun for the community and benefitting the lore of League of Legends. And it could maybe speed things up a bit(don't take it the wrong way)
Since Certain parts would take time to build or re-build in the lore, how about Narative/Riot choose people from the lore community to help out with it? I've been to factions, CupCakeTrap and any other staff there have done a good job with making stories and involving the community. Maybe Narrative can pick people like they do with the pbe? Well, of course likely candidates. No one would want to hire someone who e a troll making official lore. People maybe like Captain Marvelous who makes those Myths and Theories. I am only speaking on likely candidates that I've seen so far, there are more. But think about it, it could also mend the wound people believe Narrative have caused.
The way I picture it, Narrative can pick likely candidates from what they have seen on the Story and Art boards so far. Of course it's not like everything discussed would be public. But The candidates picked would go and discuss with the lore community about what part of lore or which location they would like them to work on. Then this group would report to Narrative about what they are going to do. And while they choose to help write this story or stories, Narrative can still work on parts that they were already working on. Leaving a section they aren't on to the Sub-Narrative team from the community.
This way I think the lore could be brought at a good pace and the community would be a lot happier. Because they are actually speaking on what they want, and at the same time are communicating with Narrative at the same time. All the while, lore being given at a faster pace.(No offense) I thought about this idea for a month now. There is already a pbe, maybe there could be a pbe for lore specifically. Pbe seems to be focused on gameplay more, so having a separate pbe for lore only doesn't seem like a bad idea. I've seen that you fellows want to serialize the lore. Maybe the group can make short stories every week. Or even comics. I've seen people with good fan art here. Maybe candidates with art could also help. Maybe it's a good idea that's both fun and beneficial for both the Narrative and the community. The key thing here is communication, cooperation, and consistent lore. I think those are the crucial points im making here. But it's just a small suggestion. But please think about it, It would make a lot of people happier, I believe.
