Further analysis:

1...You have an idea for a story.

2...You want someone with writing experience and good grammar.

3...The story will not be sold.

4...You will give credit to Authors, Photographers/Detailers.

Hummmm. Sounds like you are going to make copies of this story for some type of distribution. Yes, I'd say this smells like rotten fish. How about more detail of how this story is going to be used and what type of distribution.

If it was for private use, then you would write the story yourself, you wouldn't need experienced writers and you wouldn't need to give credit to anyone. By process of elimination, this story will be for some type of public use.

ok... look, i dont intend to copy others story, i have the details ready. but i want it to be private so no one can steal the details.

i dont want the story to be spoiled either.

What this guy is asking for is a shadow author it sounds to me, somebody to make his 'idea' into a tangible product but receive no benefit for doing so. Might be a good idea for enthusiast writers, but an actual author? Nobody in their right mind would do that.

I have books on kindle and am working on another project right now, and to be fair, I would never dream of doing something for somebody else that wouldn't at least be credited to me. An idea only takes you so far, it's the work you put in that gets results.

im not looking for a shadow-something author.. i started making ideas for people to help me make a book/story for people that enjoys a free story about a runescape related characters.
also... i do not know how to explain with all these skeptical comments... i can not make a book as i do not know the basic of making a book/story...

What if I write this book and sell it on my own? Based on copyright laws related to literature works, you cannot copyright an idea, but you can copyright a work.

OK, I get the concept of what you are trying to do. Why not just come right out and say so in your OP instead of all the secrecy? Some of the accusations may have been avoided in the first place.

Example: I want to write a story about a RuneScape character which will be published on a RuneScape forum only, but I'm not a very good writer and would appreciate some experienced help. I expect the story to be from 5 to 10 chapters. Please PM me if interested. If we can come up with an agreement, I will tell you more details in PM as we go along.

Or something along that line.
