Author Craft / NaNoWriMo Time Again!
« on: October 12, 2016, 09:57:47 PM »
It's that time of year again! How many WriMos hang out here?

This year, I am writing a fantasy novel given the sci fi treatment. Scientists discover another plane of reality, filled with fairies and other creatures humans have forgotten to fear. So naturally, we send an expedition to explore this new world. Once they get there, an attack by the local creatures leaves the portal broken and the commanders of the expedition dead.
Or, in the simplest terms: Star Trek takes on the bad neighborhoods of the Nevernever.

Hi, I'm Mary, and it's been about five minutes since I last waffled on what to write.  ;)
I have basically three main stories:
The Nameless - One of the Fae who was born into magical slavery sells his name in order to buy his freedom. In doing so, he gets caught up in ancient prophecies, conspiricies, and eventually fights to free his people from their millennia old contract.
Strange Aeons - Basically Lovecraft as Urban Fantasy. The main character was kicked out of Miskatonic University years before and has settled in to a more normal life far away from all that craziness. She gets dragged back in again when good old Misk U loses a copy of the Necronomicon, believes it was taken to her new city, and asks her for help finding it.
The Nowhere Project - This is what I am about to start for NaNoWriMo. Imagine what would happen if a Star Gate/Star Trek type team went on an expedition to explore the Nevernever. The rest is still in the early stages of planning for NaNoWriMo.
