I want to write a book or short story about Warhammer 40k
I posted this also in the Warhammer40k Reddit, but people there weren't too kind :c
So, I have read the first two books of Eisenhorn and "For the Emperor" of Ciaphas Cain. I love the whole lore, especially the Astra Militarum.
I'm studying translation right now, but I also want to become a writer someday, or at least try it.
The story I've been thinking to write is about a Commissar. The story, however, starts with an Imperial soldier that has... certain heretical ideals about every life-form being equal and opposing war. He ends up being executed from fleeing the battlefield, and the story then turns to the commissar. I want to write him having in mind someone like Caesar, Belisarus, or Adrian Carton de Wiart. He will be the kind of character that starts from nothing and ascends, with difficulty, through the ranks of the imperium out of his strong will. Of course I'll try to make jokes or use humour.
Obviously the Commissar, who won't be commissar for long, will have a personality, not the kind of "I'm stronk and assertive, Commissar da biggest and da strongest".
My question, though, is: would you read something like this? It will be all of my own, and English is not my first language (I'd rather die than using AI) but I love to read and write.
BTW, this is not a selling post, I just want to know whether it is a good idea.
