(no subject)
I'm so impatient for Nanowrimo to get started again. I've been itching to write these past couple days, but I haven't done anything. I want to work on the ideas I have, but I have to wait to comply with Nano rules. I know I could break them with no consequences, but it's the principle of the thing! And it's just more fun for me.
But the two, well, three, ideas I have are:
1. This one's sort of...I guess cliche is the word I'm looking for. A demon was trapped and sealed away in an ordinary looking stone slab. Something falls on the slab many years later and puts a crack in it. It's not nearly enough for the demon to escape, but he does wake up. He nearly drives himself mad waiting as the years pass and weather and time gradually widen the crack. He doesn't realize it, but the ones who captured him put a stipulation on their spell. If he ever broke free, he'd be bound to the nearest of their descendents, unable to do anything without their permission. His powers would be sealed unless this descendent released him. This descendent is totally terrified of him. She doesn't know anything about her heritage, and the demon isn't forthcoming with what details he does know. He tries to bully and scare her into freeing him. And that's about all I've got on that so far. I do know that it's not really going to be a redemption story. The demon is an asshole, and he's going to stay that way.
2. This one came from something Malunis said on Twitter this morning: working for a Time god. I don't know what all that entails yet, but the idea seems interesting.
The third one is my fall back every year. Last year it was the story I could procrastinate on to work on Eyes Like a Wolf. It's an idea my friends and I came up with a long time ago, and I always poke on it in a nostalgic sort of way.
I can't wait for the Nano forums to start being really active again, and all the interesting threads start anew. I plan on heavily raiding the Adopt a Line/Plot/what have you threads this year.
