NaNoWriMo - help me choose my story!
So… I’ve been trying to sit down and decide which of the projects that I have running around in my head that are actually at the writing stage to do for NaNoWriMo. I’ve signed up, I’m doing it… and 50K words is nothing, so no worries there. The fact that I haven’t found and hour when my brain is running on all cylinders to sit at Starbucks and decide disturbs me more than doing a 50K word free write by several orders of magnitude. And, no rush on deciding; after all, NaNoWriMo only starts tomorrow night. ;)

SO, with my lack of decision making ability, all ask my wondrous f-list what they’d like to read.

Fandom idea:
Cajun Nights (X-Men AU) – I have two chapters done (I think only one posted): an alternate universe X-Men story where Ororo goes to New Orleans on holiday and to scout some mutants, and runs into our favorite Cajun, and some ‘sinister’ and ‘shadow’y elements. Explains how Remy ends up at the Mansion in that universe.

Original ideas:
The Winter Tree – a pure fantasy novel set in the RPG universe I’ve been working on since I was 11 (the same one where Tarchannon comes from). The Fae abandoned the world of Magilon, setting a great seal to prevent anyone from following. Unbeknownst to anyone, their departure created a great imbalance, and now even the forces of Magic are weakening. One God risks his own immortality to set a risky and vastly dangerous plan into motion that could restore the balance… or send all of reality into chaos.

The Cracking of the Sky – a story of a man who thinks that his life is over when he’s struck by lightning, and discovers that absolutely nothing he thought that he knew about himself and the world was right. A sci-fi adventure with mystery tones.

The Moebius Cycle (working title) – the day the first of the six gods of earth appears in public is the day humans learned that they were not alone… and that that had only one, perilously slim chance to save themselves from extinction, to evolve into something greater. And the disappointed gods, are unabashedly hedging their bets in the event of failure and accelerating potential 'sapiens' that might follow humans in their dominion of the planet if they fail. (First of a six book cycle, hard sci-fi, heavy in biology, religion, and politics, and by far the most ambitious project).
