So I guess NaNo is rolling around once again, and I'm breaking out the old deadjournal.
I have a dilemma once again --- I have three plots that I want to write for NaNo but I can't take on the challenge of writing two novels at once because I'm sure all of them will cap out at around 100,000 words. I'm aiming for at least 75,000 without filler this year, so that's going to take a whole lot of effort both at school and at home. I have access to the school computers and a flash drive, so I'll definitely be able to sneak some writing in during the morning, lunch, and computer classes.
Anyway, onto the ideas. This is just for my reference so I have an easier time deciding later on. :D
Iscariot -- Fanfiction! With original characters! Don't scream Mary Sue at me yet.
Voices of the Zombie War -- Voices is probably my new obsession, especially after getting into Max Brooks's books. Probably because I got into Max Brooks's books, actually. It'll be a huge novel with separate but intermingling storylines following the lives of several people as they make it through WWZ. I currently have characters in Europe, the US, South America, the Pacific Islands, and Japan --- I'll have to find some excuses to stick more people in, possibly in the middle east or Africa. This novel will take select characters from all of my created storylines, both original and fanfiction.
The current cast is from planes, Gaia, OHSHC (Iscariot/Elysium), and AF. I'll find excuses to put other characters in here somehow.
six red planes -- Planes is the idea that I came up with right after NaNo had ended last year. It was my original plan for this year's NaNo but I'm not so sure anymore. I need to rework some parts of this so I probably won't do it unless I decide on it early and manage to work everything out so it makes sense.
Planes is set in a dystopic alternate universe in the years following WWII. The Nazis won WWII and seized control of Europe. The world economy is failing because of Nazi control on imports and exports into and out of Europe, and the world has fallen into economic depression. Europe eventually seizes control of Africa, and after that, moves to conquer Asia.
((Okay, I'll come back and edit this later. I don't really feel like writing out plot ideas for the umpteenth time at the moment.)) |
