Technically, this is a Nano thing, so it’s a writing prompt. Category right. Baha. And I’m not waiting til tomorrow! I wish this was in cam form so you could hear me actually rant and ramble. It’s so much more fun that way. But ah well, until the computer gets fixed.
Nanowrimo is coming and I have several projects to choose from to work on for the month and get done for once. And I never know which one to do, so I’m going to try and leave that up to everyone but me for the moment. As in anyone reading this. So here are the stories and a little blurb on them all.
Arcleo
Traditional fantasy story where I get to make a prophesy absolutely meaningless. The main character is a vapid selfish girl who wants to be princess and is convinced that she is the true princess of an overtaken land not because of the mark on her arm (The one that’s supposed to mark the princess but appeared on every baby girl in the neighboring lands) but because she thinks she deserves better than hard work in an inn for the rest of her life.
Raven Project
A class of first year university students get subjected to genetic experimentation and do pretty much nothing about it. They’re scared, don’t know what to do and have seen the footage of the last class who tried to fight and run away getting mowed down along with the rest of their families. And that last class looked a lot like they did. Told from the perspective of the least likely success of the story, a girl who, with the help of a serum and a few long moments of agony, can grow a forty foot long wingspan.
Background Noise
Once upon a time there was a sad little lonely girl. She got a voice in her head. That voice wouldn’t go away when she grew up and she was the only teenager with imaginary friends. She also had a book of words she had to memorize and never say, but that didn’t make sense so she never really did it. And then she got whisked away to a weird place where a big monster immediately attacked her and she realized the voice in her head was telling the truth (Or she had gone insane) and everything goes to shit. And then gets better. Yay!
Transmundane
Once upon a time a girl managed to remember the strangest dreams. Dreams where these people came in and took her out into the rest of the collective subconscious to try and keep people from going around and “fixing” other people’s subconscious. And then it started to happen while she was daydreaming too. But she could do more in them now that she was getting used to it. And then, one day she got into an accident and got stuck there. Or maybe she didn’t. I haven’t decided yet.
Genetically Impaired
Damien is a jackass and he doesn’t die. This is how he got to be immortal, from plowing a car into a shoddily made building in the middle of the forest to his escape, recapture, and how he opened up their doors to human experimentation. And supposed ethical treatment of them too. Ethical, of course, meaning they would live like kings and never be allowed outside if they managed to physically maim them in any way, which they usually did.
Sybil of Destiny
In the distant future a war no one remembers has destroyed most of the world. Those who are left liner in small refuge shelters, trying to maintain themselves, save other survivors and keep from getting raided. Upon the recovery of a strange young woman from the mountains who appears to not have come to any harm in the fallout, they ponder over what the hell is going on. And how she’s managing to do the things she does. Oh, and she’s a Sue, but this is a fun Sue story.
Darkling
Another Sue story. This one focuses around Rin, a lovely young girl who everyone wants dead because it’s time for the chosen one to be sacrificed. So her friends are looking for the chosen one so they can kill her properly, the bad guys are looking for her because if they kill her first they win and her mother is just pissed off with her one night and randomly beats her shitless.
Atlantis Project
A top secret, formerly government funded experiment has been invaded by small children. This is the story of the children who managed to break in, run through and sneak into the gate to what they called Atlantis, a strange land where the world has been destroyed. The people are aliens that are horribly racist/classist against their own kind and technologically advanced. Humans with poor immune systems that come through, however, discover that they develop strange powers that are supposed to be used to help the people as per contract. As kids unbound by contract, however, they make their own way,
So vote on the sidebar and HELP ME! Yay!
