Are you writing anything? (Stories/Novels/Etc)
If you are, feel free to detail what you are currently writing in this thread. Or feel free to post what you are planning to write.
My ideas:
[spoiler]I'm planning to start a novel (not to be published as it will end up being shit obviously, it will just be for fun). It will be a Fantasy novel set in some medieval-like world. It'll be low fantasy, meaning there is no magic or anything, just swords and shit.
It will mainly deal with the inner workings of a kingdom, with the main character being close with the royal family. There won't be a 'big bad evil' or anything, the main conflict will revolve around a rebellion within the Kingdom. I don't plan to write it so one side is 'bad' and the other is 'good'. By the end both sides will end up doing things they will regret. The role the main character plays will help show this clearly.
I plan for it to have a tragic/sad ending, plus with some other shit going down throughout. If anyone here has played Tactics Ogre; the scene at the end of the first act heavily influenced something that will happen in the novel.
I am kinda vague, but I do have most of it planned out already (characters, twists, etc), I just don't want to give away my idea. Just need to start writing.
Also have another idea, but nowhere near detail as the above one. It is high fantasy, and has magic. The Magic is heavily focused on the idea of 'summoning' (likely would be called something different) where people can essentially go through a ritual to summon a piece of their soul into physical being, like a guardian of sorts. The ritual itself requires both knowledge and resources, though, so the only people who are really capable of it are the nobles/royals, meaning it wouldn't be a common place thing.
That's all I have for that idea so far, though. Haven't really expanded on it yet.[/spoiler]
Also currently writing a fan fiction (Fate/Stay Night). Actually like half way through this one and have a bunch of chapters up on a fan fiction website, so if anyone wants to read it I can send a link. (doubt many here have read the VN anyway).

1 ReplyEdited by The Great DanTej: 12/19/2013 9:11:50 AM[spoiler]over the past two years I've been throwing together my own (science fantasy) fictional universe that combines mythology, historical events and people, and a lot of hours spent playing with ideas from tvtropes; but that's ultimately axillary to the main original stories/characters/world history I've been throwing together. So far I have a timeline spanning several hundred years, with several major story-lines plotted out, world history that influences later stories (as well as major events that take place in earlier stories that explain motivations and situations of later ones) political ideologies of conflicting groups that merge and change and reinvent themselves over the course of the in universe history, [i]and pretty much every other aspect of world building you can think of[/i] bar fictional language. As it currently stands the only major story arc (of which i've got seven painted out in broad-strokes) is a cold-war cyberpunk story that takes place at about the halfway point on the timeline, which follows the main character's attempts to escape the draft (it becomes a cold war gone hot story) and cheat the system to survive, while running into and becoming part of the plans of defectors, deserters, and usurpers; in addition there's a lot of trans-humanism aspects at play that would take a while to explain, and the entire scenario is setup, so that while it looks like an over the top sci-fi story, it's actually a lot more fantastical (see magic and mythology) than it appears. [/spoiler] Yeah, even that summary is a mess, I've been storing it all in my head and it's more complete than it sounds, but it really needs more work and documentation. [spoiler]Did I mention that for the 5th major story arc, It turns out there's a whole tone of time travelers influencing the whole thing? i have immortal characters appearing several times throughout who go forward in time (see: living) and back (see: related to the ending of the cold war story, told you it was kinda magical) and sideways (There's a system of magic I've been tinkerign with related to multiverses and other over the top things)...[/spoiler]
