Ideas for NaNo:

  • Oct. 16th, 2009 at 10:30 AM
nanowrimo1

So, after much procrastination consideration and pouring over old story ideas, I've finally decided on a few. I have names for most of these characters and some of the story worked out for each plot.... but not a lot beyond that. 

After deciding to do NaNo, I had trouble deciding what main genre to write, and I've finally settled on fantasy/sci-fi... because then I can write the most confusing stuff and just blame it on the character's magical powers that's what I tend to write a lot of times.

- The story of an assassin, set in an alternate universe.

- A young woman wakes up with amnesia in a castle/mansion/rather large house in the middle of a mysterious forest. The master of the castle is a young man whom no one seems to know much about... not even the inhabitants of the house.

- Seventeen years old girl gets hired by vampire family to take care of their youngest son, who turns out to be a rather immature eighteen years old who has very little social contact throughout of his life. (Okay, I thought of this one when I was going through my emo/goth stage a couple years ago, and was really into macabre and vampires.)

- Girl moves from small town to a big city (Manhattan/Salt Lake City/Seattle/etc) and meets a group of people at her school who don't really seem quite human. While trying to find out more about them, her soul/spirit/heart/body gets linked to one of them (probably a guy) in order for them to monitor her. (I'm playing with the ideas of including alternate dimensions... and vampires and werewolves and other mythical creatures.)

- What makes a villain, a villain? Who were they before they were evil? What made them evil? Is redemption possible? Set in alternate universe.

- Classic rich girl meets poor boy story, with twist that she is not snooty and thinks she so much better than him, and he is not overconfident and dashing. Basically the telling of their lives growing up together, in same worlds, but different classes where neither of them seem to fit. Set in a world similar to outs, but with more magic and with differences in technology.

- Pirate who is runaway prince galavanting around the world. 'Nuff said.

Final Fantasy Character Test

                           Which Final Fantasy Character Are You? 

                            Final Fantasy VII 


 I took this test about two years ago when my FFVII obsessed friend sent it to me over e-mail. I had just watched AC at her house the other day and was just kind-of-maybe-a-little-bit-interested in the whole Final Fantasy thing. I took it and got Vincent. >.>'

Anyways, take the quiz. It's fun.

Happy birthday, Cloud.

According to the FF wikia, today is Cloud Strife's birthday.

It's 2009 in our... world and AC takes in 2009 on Gaia, so Cloud is... 23? Yeah, that sounds about right.

So... happy birthday, Cloud! *Throws confetti*

If you could travel back in time, what advice would you give to your younger self?

I'd travel back to when I was thirteen and say, "Listen to your mom more, she knows what she's talking about."

Stupid brain.

For some reason I can’t seem to write tonight, so far I’ve spent the last three hours on a story idea that just refuses to flow.


*Kicks brain* Stupid brain and your lack of inspiration.

Title: Kiss Beneath the Stars
Pairing: Cloud/Tifa
Rating: PG
Prompt: "Kiss beneath the stars," on
[info]ffvii_het_meme.
Summary: Cloud and Tifa take a ride.
Notes: This is for
[info]sekiharatae because she wasn't feeling well a little while ago (*coughstwoweekscoughs*) and said she needed cloti fluff or smut. Sorry it took so long for me to finish it, Tae, but I finally did.
Thanks: To my beta,
[info]qwi_xux. Sorry that "a few days" turned out to be eleven.


 

It touched her to know that he cared enough to show her this. )

What the heck is wrong with me?

I think that in every comment that I've posted tonight/this morning has had something either misspelled or some of the sentence structure is wrong.

*Faceplams* Apparently I can't write/type right now. But I'm not tired at all, so I'm going to keep writing/typing... even if what I write/type won't make any sense tomorrow.

(I need to get an "annoyed" icon.)



Edit (7/10/09): Misspelled is one word. *Facepalms*
tifa1
I have a question for any writers out there: when you have a spot on a story that you're having trouble on do you work at it until you've got it figured out or do you skip it and go to a point later in the story?

I trying to get the scene/line/chapter worked out rather than skip ahead because I'll be tempted to skip ahead on other parts of the story when it gets difficult.

I just want to know what you writers out there do.

*Goes back to writing fanfic*

Edit(7/10/09): My sentence structure was apparently challenged when I posted this.

Beta searching:

How does one go about acquiring a beta-reader? I really need one... that and someone to run ideas by when it's four AM and I have some really weird inspiration for a fanfic.

>.> I'll start a fanfic, write about a page, think it sucks, then abandon it. Like, right now, I'm writing a cloti humor fic... but I don't know if it's to much, or if even it's funny, or if it's just stupid.

Any suggestions (or offers)?

Edited "Shut Up and Kiss Me"

A wonderful reviewer pointed out that the original post of "Shut Up and Kiss Me" was "kinda fast for Cloud" and I agreed.

So, I've gone through and reworked some of the paragraphs, added some new stuff in, and taken some stuff out.

I sincerely hope its better.

*Sighs* I think I should advertise for a beta or something... >.>
