I NEED FEEDBACK!
I'm really interested in knowing what my friends think so I can get an idea of where I should be aiming my energies. See below for a description of each project just in case you don't recognize or haven't read any of the stories in the poll. Most of these have already been in progress for a very long time now. I am really interested in knowing what you all think so please do not hesitate on sharing your thoughts with me. (I am also looking for an editor/reviewer for my original novels who can give me whatever feedback they can give me, but if you're not interested, you don't have to say anything).
Terms of Paradise
Part one, Colleen's Angel, has already been completed, part 2 is still being written.
Summary: When Saber Davenport's daughter starts talking about seeing angels, he doesn't believe her at first. But when a trusted colleague of his calls him frantically about seeing an angel too, he isn't sure what to believe. After all, miracles are a hard-pressed thing to come by in Saber's bleak world. A career policeman, he balances raising a six-year-old girl, with maintaining a sense of normalcy in his life, one he finds hard to grasp since the tragic death of his beloved Diane three years earlier. Coupling that with exploring a romantic relationship with a fellow officer, Saber must reconcile the tragedies of the past with the promise of happiness for the future. Along the way, he'll meet a beautiful, winged creature known only to him by the name his child gives her, Rowena. Regardless of what Rowena is or why she's here, her entrance into Saber's life not only affects him, but those close to him as well. And this is only the beginning...
The Language of the Enemy (working title)
Summary: Earth is invaded by a race of alien beings called the Lavari from a planet called Pollux. The takeover is successful and the enslavement of mankind is complete. Fast forward seven years later, we begin our story. Before the invasion, Toni was just your average college student headed for an uncertain future. Now she's a slave aboard the Lavari Mothership, forced to perform maintenence tasks day in and day out. For the past seven years she's secretly taught herself the complicated language of her captors. She knows if she's found out, it could bring her trouble. And when the secret does get out, it leads her to places she never would have expected to go.
The Rise and Fall of the Butterfly God
Summary: This story can be found on FictionPress.com in a series of non-linear vignettes. It has the potential to be a cohesive novel but I am unsure of whether or not I want to do it. I love the characters and they and the plot could use a lot more elucidation and expansion. The main story is about an exiled princess who has lost her throne to war, a deserter soldier searching for his sister, an immortal being who protects the princess, a lovelorn assassin who is tasked with killing the woman he is in love with, a god whose power is sought after by a tyrannical power-hungry woman, and a lost girl living on an island unconquered by the war.
So Let It Be Said, So Let It Be Done
Yugioh
Atem/Yuugi, Atem centric, with some OC romance, and Puzzleshipping, takes place four years post-canon
Summary: Thanks to a spell High Priest Set inscribed into Atem's sarcophagus when he died, Atem is brought back to life into the modern world. As Atem re-discovers the joys and sorrows of his renewed lease on life, while recovering his memories, playing Duel Monsters, and falling in love, Atem will come to realize that just because you think you don't have a place in a person's life, doesn't mean they will necessarily agree with you.
A Place to Start sequel
Summary: A short story next installment to A Place to Start, which can be found in a collection of Naruto short stories at Fanfiction.net. Has not yet been written.
The Time Thief
Yugioh
Yuugi/Atem, pure Puzzleshipping, two years after canon
Summary: Time travel fic. Yuugi is sent back through time to save Atem and hopefully stop a man known only as the Time Thief from messing up the past anymore than he already has. Set in ancient Egypt so it will need a lot of research and betaing. Have primarily stopped writing because this is the only fanfic I really want help with.
I will provide excerpts upon request. :)
EDIT: I tried to do this as an LJ poll but I just kept getting errors trying to post it so I decided to do it this way. Stupid LJ. XD
