The Colony Base idea started out more as a setting, and the actual story is still a half-built skeleton. Araminta needs more time to flesh out, really. Unruly is always a possibility; I have a few ideas working out in my head, including one featuring the Alternate Religion students.<br /><br />You do recall that, yes. I started writing it on a tablet during the bus on a long trip to a job. It's not as situationally dependant, but there is a lot of back-filling and set up to do. The second one, the situation starts with Kristi coming up with the idea, so the plot will derive from the characters. The dragon story needs more perculating time; there are a lot of questions to answer, including, why does the dragon have a butler? ^_^<br /><br />Would it be a spoiler to say they get along like sisters? :) Mia isn't quite an older version of Luci, but they share similar issues due to their age gap.Scott Delahunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735796666483741699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464382918796251124.post-18448710530970044812016-09-27T21:25:20.505-04:002016-09-27T21:25:20.505-04:00The Shadowrun idea has potential, based on prior p...The Shadowrun idea has potential, based on prior posts. The Colony Base I'm less sure of; nothing jumped out for me about the setting in Araminta's blurb, and while I know it was more about character, she didn't stand out much either (aside from her Yomiko Readman tendencies). Unruly has potential, but I'm biased.<br /><br />I seem to recall something short about the Uni Detectives 1 related to mistaken identity? I almost feel the 2nd idea is more interesting because it seems like they'd be drawn together more naturally instead of situationally, though I could be biased again, with my urban fantasy leanings. The dragon story is an interesting inversion, but seems the most haphazard, the one that might be hardest to tame into shape.<br /><br />Of the new stuff, I'm actually the most curious about how Ayel and Kristi get along. It's also nice that one of my characters might have inspired another. ^.^Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.com
