Nanowrimo '09 Thoughts

Here are my current ideas (only four!!! shocking!!):
  • The Missing Door: I only have about 10k written on this story, even though I love it and want to finish; but what I have was written last year so I wouldn't feel bad just scrapping and starting over. EDIT: It's a sci-fi/mystery/thriller in a universe where people travel from planet to planet through teleportation devices called doors. Yes, one goes missing.
  • Eros and Psyche retelling: something like what I did with HHNF. As much as I love the Eros character I've developed, I really have no other ideas for what I would do with this story, or really much inspiration for it. Snazel wants it a lot, though. ^_^
  • HHNF sequel: This would center around the battle with Perseus, Ariadne's death, and Dionysus' quest to get her and Semele back. I've been wanting to do this since December 07. Lolz.
  • Drem Escalion: This story takes place in Wyrd's universe, and is a first-person story about an infamous character in Altera's history. I don't have a whole lot sketched out for this story but I would also love to do it. ^_^ EDIT: Drem is known in "Wyrd" for betraying the country, starting a war, killing some people.....basically I'm going to tell the story from his POV, where he tries to explain what he did and did not do, and why, since there a lot of truths and lies in everything he's accused of.

Hmm. For the last one, I'd have to ask infamous for what...

Ooh, actually, with the new description, I cast my vote for The Missing Door. That sounds way fun. :D

AUGH! THIS IS A HARD GAME.

*hyperventilates*

Okay, let me see. Missing Door. You, me, doors which go missing? Yes Plz. *cough* But I really wanna see you write me some more SF, and Ramy sounds delightful, and yes.
Write it.

Eros and Psyche; did I mention I want you to do this? Yes. *wants* You know, cause it's Eros, and wanting, and *shoots self in the brain* *again* Yes. Write it.

Ooooooooooo, HHNF Sequel. KILLING MAIN CHARACTERS. DOOO ITTT. And Dionysus mad? AWESOME. Dude, and isn't Perseuse the one who killed Medusa? You could do a Medusa cameo! Wow, this one really sounds amazing.
Yes. Write it.

Hmmm, Traitor from the POV of the Traitor. Tasty. Ohhh, and truth and lies and machiavelli and war and death and fire and esplosions and yeah this one you need to do now plz. *hungers for it*
Yes. Write it.

Clearly you're doing four novels for Nano. Go you! I'll send you brownies!

You could, you know, write four novels in one month.

*says NOTHING about trying this. NOTHING*

*coughs* O:)

I like "Missing Door" (this has Chester, yes? YES??) and the last one. Decisions decisions...

Well, I tried 2 last year, but the unfortunate thing about that was that one of them needed WAYYY more than 50k, so I didn't really finish it. I could attempt 2 again, this time, I suppose, but then something like that might happen again.
