It's only a few hours until NaNoWriMo.

*drags over a chair, plops down and looks at you lot all interested-like*

So, what'cha writin' about? :)

I'm rewriting Alice in Wonderland with vampires and other demons and at the moment I'm getting a cast together. :)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

OOOOO. That sounds like it could be really cool. :)

[pixiewildfire.livejournal.com]

Well I tried it for NaNo last year during my Drew Fuller needs to love me time but I have to say, your Jensen/Vampired of Vandling totally gave me the kick in the butt to rewrite my whole idea.

[kleenexwoman.livejournal.com]

I'm writing "A Match Made In Space." From, uh, "Back to the Future." I'm pretending that it's George writing it.

METATEXT YAY.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*stares in awe*

MARRY ME I'LL HAVE ALL THE BABIES.

[kleenexwoman.livejournal.com]

spacematchbook if you want to read. I'm hoping I'll get all the way through this time.

[xerne.livejournal.com]

That is the BEST THING EVER, just so you know.

[elessar.livejournal.com]

I'm writing a post-Serenity Firefly fan novel in which the crew gets trapped in a Bermuda Triangle-like territory and are trapped in a nightmare-ish reality :) It'll be morbid and creepifying ^_^

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have got to read that when you're done. *makes out with your icon for good measure*

[elessar.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha oh but of course :) I'm going to be ridiculously busy this month, so it'll be amazing if I finish it on time. But I plan on finishing it eventually :)

Jayne: *licks his knife*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*watches Jayne lick his knife*

*will be in my bunk*

[elessar.livejournal.com]

XD My friend dressed as Jayne for Halloween. I think she licked her knife and kissed "Vera" waaaay too many times Saturday night XD it was hilarious.

[nycdeb.livejournal.com]

murder mystery - or at least that's what it professes to be. Likely that will be just the barest excuse for characters snarkily going on at length. Think Nick and Nora meet Will and Grace - that's the tone

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's nothing wrong with snark at length, especially with people dying in the background. ;)

[juleskicks.livejournal.com]

History! About a woman who spies for the British during the Seven Years War. Same series as last year's, except hopefully this will start the series and thus I can start shopping it around after it's edited (lateish next year, I'm thinking?).

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

That sounds awesome. :)

[juleskicks.livejournal.com]

Hee. Hopefully. It keeps starting and then stalling and the only time I actually wrote something significant of it was last year for NaNo, so I'm hoping that this year I'll be able to, you know, actually accomplish something as well.

Hmm. I'm still not entirely certain when I want to start it, though. That is somewhat problematic.

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

The Philosopher's Stone.

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

Stargate Atlantis AU in the vein of Dead Poet's.

[newredshoes]

A big geeky fantasy epic with talking animals, quests, secret societies and more cosmogonies than you can shake a stick at!

Yes, Mossflower was the most formative read of my youth, why do you ask? *halo!*

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

Lady Amber for teh win.

[erinlin.livejournal.com]

A hyper-evolved octopus can transform herself into a human girl. Partly for forbidden love, partly for anthropological research.

There are lots of explosions. And porn. But mostly explosions.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yay for porn and explosions! :)

[akamarykate.livejournal.com]

YA fantasy-ish with "The Water of Life" and the Fisher King and the tarot Tower card and Yeats, with an insane king, wellfolk, a trickster, a half-princess who never wants to be, and rowdy parties with stomp dancing.

[sadiekate.livejournal.com]

I feel so boring after all these great ideas. I'm finally going to write my book of short stories I've been compiling notes on for two years.

[ravyne-hawke.livejournal.com]

A young girl makes a promise, 42 years later the adult has to decide if she is going to keep the promise or not. Sounds boring compared to everything else I've read here *laughs*

[issendai.livejournal.com]

An abused, misunderstood, and generally put-upon young girl who develops Special Magickal Powers, is rescued by a snotty yet beautiful mage, and eventually kicks divine ass. The big boss fight at the end is between her and her evil stepmother.

I clutched during NaNoWriMo 2004 because I tried to write something /good/, you see. This year, I'm starting out with the most godawful plot ever, and anything I do can only improve it. My super seekrit plan is to put it on Fanfiction.net and Mediaminer and see how many raving fangirls I get.

[foenix.livejournal.com]

Either a spoof/homage of Dr. Who, told from the companion's perspective, in the vein of "Dr. Watson was the brains behind Sherlock Holmes", or a taut thriller based on the doppleganger folklore.

From one extreme to the other. ;)

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

I was going to be doing a barbarian/snarky/making-fun-of-D&D thing (which I can do, as a gamer chick with an actual barbarian character) but then this damn sobering story about my buddy Mikey's death kicked all the rest of the plots away down the stairs of my brain. *pout*

[tsuki-no-yami.livejournal.com]

A group of highly apathetic, politically incorrect superheros.

[siegeofangels.livejournal.com]

Road trip: a broken heart, a Honda Civic, a Tom Petty CD, and a friend.

Tentatively titled I Thought it Was Love, But it Turns Out I'm Just Lactose Intolerant.

[xerne.livejournal.com]

Starting with a secret order of Catholic demon-hunters and going from there.

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

A group of special forces operatives working for the UN, descended from the various deities of yore.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh. OHHHHH. I think I love that idea. :)

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

Hee. I actually used the same 'verse (but focusing on a different team) for a creative writing class last year. Most of it's up on my LJ, which might be more helpful if I'd bothered at the time to put it in memories.

[kittikattie.livejournal.com]

A lesbian's internal and external struggle with being a surrogate mother, especially after the couple that she's carrying for dies.

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

ariastar and I are going to finish the story set in London (with vampires, witches, Norse gods, and Faerie) that we wrote 100k for last year. *points to icon*

[etymological.livejournal.com]

In twenty words or fewer: It involves an array of modern gods, a really pathetically unlucky man, and a possibly nonexistent prophecy.

[tenebris.livejournal.com]

Icon love!

When I did my summer writing project, I always played something like nine games of solitaire beforehand. It really worked to get me in the mood. :)

[theladycrimson.livejournal.com]

Sadly, nothing, due to not wanting to send grown peoples running and screaming with the badness. *nod* However, I shall enjoy the wonderfullness of those around me. (Yeah, I suck. I'll make up for it somewhere else.)

[cupcakery.livejournal.com]

The Snow Queen, told from the view of the Snow Queen herself and set in Canada. Lots of snow.

[franticgoddess.livejournal.com]

A ridiculous gothic novel, plot is a dream I once had featuring sort of but not really incest, and the required woman going mad and throwing wineglasses at windows.

Or something.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

I'm either finishing up the NaNo novel from last year, or working on the tree zombie story which has now become a possible novel thanks to bunnies from the Surfers.

[elbiesee.livejournal.com]

Mine's about a gay hit man (stay with me, here) who questions his authority on who lives/dies when he decides he likes the woman he's supposed to kill better than her estranged husband (who hired him to kill her).

It promises to be interesting.

[telaryn.livejournal.com]

"Dead Gods Rising" series -- book Four. Told from the Mage of Earth's point of view, there will be sex, germ warfare, government conspiracies, rebellion and magic.

[muffytaj.livejournal.com]

A spoof of the romance genre, pirates included.

(Doing the author research for this genre made me want to claw my eyes out. AAAAARGH!)

[hobbit-feet.livejournal.com]

God this story is going to be so crappy.

It's a romance between Tyler the Not Particularly Threatening, a fledgling vampire, and Jonathan, a somewhat incompetent witch in training.
