Petition For Riot to get Fantasy authors to write novels since we don't have much of lore anymore

So for any of you who play MTG or D&D or any other game that has serialized novels about it. Why the hell doesn't riot do it. I am sure tons of authors would love to jump on that. So boost this thread get it noticed. What stories do you want to see fleshed out. I would love to see a crime series following and . And deserves a trilogy for that backstory. Come on community, let riot know we miss the lore and what stories you would want to see published. I'm sure it be profitable. I would buy these books.

That would be pretty bitchin.

Although not a published novel, check out Pebbles along the Path. It's a story on fanfiction.net that fleshes out a decently large cast of champions (Ahri especially) and even the city states to a social level including Shurima pre-Azir and Piltover to some extent. It's 98k words with 38 main chapters and two side oneshots currently, so if you are this thirsty for lore then I suggest you look it up because there's little excuse not to.

I will definitely check it out. But, I still think that it would be cool to have even like maybe a lore e-zine we could subscribe to or something ( I know they used to have something similar). Or novels that are about backstories and maybe align with current or recent game events.

I have problems with these sorts of posts in general in that they don't really do anything at all apart from continuing a circlejerk about what Riot should do. We're doing nothing about something that people can do (although the question of 'well' is up in the air, but there are problems with Riot's Narrative department on that matter). If people would come back with a damn novel or comic then maybe we would have something, but until then we've got nothing.
