So it’s getting closer and closer to November and I’m looking into my options for what to write this year. The list was initially ten options long, but I took out the ones that I’ve only had the concept for a year. I should be getting the older ones written first, right?
And if you notice these have different types of summaries, I copied last years over that didn’t get written and added to the list.
Please vote in the sidebar for the one I should write.
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!
Darkling
This one focuses around Rin, a lovely young girl who everyone wants dead because it’s time for the chosen one to be sacrificed, though no one knows she’s the chosen one yet. 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.
Creatures in the Halls
Sandra is a new teacher at the school, but already she has made quite the impact on several students. These students know that the school is haunted by something and that she seems to not only know that these things are there, but knows how to get rid of them. There’s something more at work here, though, and Sandra can only do so much at once. Though she tries to defend the students and purify the school, others may have to take her place if she falls to the creatures.
FFTS 2
After Aiden returned from backpacking for the last several months, he returned to find his best friend had gone missing for several months and refuses to talk about it. They start at school only to find not only does Caelin already know several people, but they have history. Aiden, meanwhile, discovers some new things about himself and becomes entwined in a conflict where he is missing several peices of background information like who these people are, what is Carcer and why are they all terrified of the girl who seems scared just to be outside?

I voted for Background Noise, but I also really like FFTS 2 (I’m so curious about that girl who’s scared to be outside!), Raven Project, and Darkling.
Background Noise!
0.0 Background noise sounds freakishly like the novel I wrote for last year’s NaNo!
Really? It’s actually the full character history for an RP character I had a while back.
Yeah, I read your blip about it above, stared blankly, read it again, and went “…. that sounds awfully familiar! 0.0″ lol
