Found NaNoWriMo

[ricardienne]

I was browsing the YA section at my public library branch yesterday, and pulled out something called Night School, by C.J. Daugherty. It's your standard rebellious teen + mysterious gothic boarding school + supernatural + love-triangle + ancient evil drivel, but as I was flipping through, a sheet of paper fell out; clearly an elementary/middle

Aw, that's exactly what I was doing as a kid too. And now I have no imagination at all!

I am enjoying the excerpts of your politicky-alternate universe a lot, though! Even none of your characters has a clone.

Suggestion: Seal the paper in an envelope and take it back to the library. Tell them how you found it, and in what book. They may (or may not) be able to identify the last borrower and return it to them.

Good idea! I'll do it tomorrow.

OMG, I WOULD SO READ THAT NOVEL.

(Weirdly, what with reading The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and Alcestis so close together, I have recently been thinking about my ridiculously epic fantasy god pantheon I made up in 9th grade during downtime in drama class. I wonder if I still have those papers somewhere at my parents' house?)

ETA: Maybe Chastity is a military code name for Adilssandra, a la Code Name Verity?

That sounds crazy silly and crazy amazing. There's nothing wrong with starting out with tropes! I hope she wasn't too devastated to lose that page.
