Fiction Press

This year, my story isn't going to be just for my eyes only or to (hopefully) be sold. Instead, I am going to post it on Fiction Press as it is edited.

By editing I mean that after classes are over, I will be giving a copy of this year's story to one of my really good friends (if she wants to, that is) and see if she wants to read it and edit it.

I may be calling for further beta readers later, but I'm not sure.

Link to come once I have my account fully active.

Things for this year's NaNo.

Dares

• Dare: Have one of your characters say "I'll give you a cookie if you do this for me." to another character.
  
  • Bonus Points if the character actually gives said other character a cookie.
  • Double Bonus Points if it's a chocolate chocolate chip cookie.
  • Triple Bonus Points if the character your using for this is the MC.
  • Quadruple Bonus Points if your MC says this to the villain in the middle of the big end fight.
  • Quintuple Bonus Points if the villain accepts.
• Dare: Have a character flipping a coin randomly.
  
  • BP: It's a personality quirk.
  • DBP: It happens at the strangest points in the story.
  • TBP: No one seems to notice, let alone care.
  • QBP: Exactly ONE and ONLY ONE character comments on it as out of place.
  • QuintupleBP: Neither the coin flipper, nor the one commenting are main characters.
• 
  

Subplots

• One character discovers another character killed or harmed a member of their family at some point in the past, completely by chance. It's murder, or wanton cruelty. How can they interact now? Does it change anything?
• A character is raped (possibly by another character). What new interactions take place as a result?
• 
  

Opening Line

• 
  

Closing Line

• The kiss was as sweet as the seasons and long as the rain, and she started to think maybe they really could make this work.

Random Lines

• 
  

Plot Twists

• Your MC or major secondary character develops insomnia or begins to have really bad nightmares halfway through the story, and never sleeps more than two consecutive hours for the rest of the the story, even if it lasts years.
• 
  

Random Scenes

• A first kiss scene between two adults
• two characters sit atop a roof and watch the sunset.

What-Ifs

• What if the events of two decades switched places?
• What if your radio started talking specifically to you?

Places

• A little graveyard about ten miles away from the edge of some huge city. The graveyard is old and grey, it is raining most of the time. Moss covers the gravestones, you can't read the names on them. The iron gates are rusty. In the middle of the graveyard there is a little white chapel, with broken windows and decayed door.
• An old cathedral that clearly has seen better days. The large doors once looked ornate but have now almost rusted off their hinges, and what statues remain are missing limbs or whole sections, some of which are still strewn around the place.
• MC goes to somewhere he/she's been, only to find out that something they did affected that place so drastically that it changes the plot

Names

• Female:
  
  • Samantha Elmstone
  • Marcail Rose
  • Mackenzie Rae

• Male:
  
  • Desmon Brice
  • Gabriel Gagandeep "Gabe"

Clearing the Dust

So, I didn't even come close to finishing Script Frenzy this past August, but what can one do when she's in Finals?

Anyway, new layout in the works. Steam Punk this time, 'cause that's the theme of my novel this time. I'm taking a break from the Revelation Rising Complex to get my timeline figured out.

Oh well. Layout will come in the next few days.
