That's the kicker right there. No publisher's even going to look at that twice, or even once probably, and LucasArts isn't just going to hand out a license to anyone.

You wrote all if it pre-high school? Then you should really try to pick it back up again. I wrote a lot of stuff years ago, it was all terrible. All of it. But about two/three years ago I started my novel that I've been talking about in this thread and over the years I keep going back to the earlier chapters and redoing them, taking into account everything I've learned and all the ideas I've come up with. It's amazing how much the story has evolved. My original prologue took about maybe two pages with 1.5 spacing, now it takes up roughly 6 pages and is much more advanced than it ever was. And I've been doing the same with the other chapters. Redo and expand. It takes a lot of time and effort, but it works.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
