Writing!

NaNoWriMo Meme: Stealed from lassarina and katmillia.


Novel Title: Seven Beacons
Estimated length: Long. Fucking long.
Your writing experience: Since childhood. Ha. Lots of absurdly long fanfiction since 7th grade.
Your genre: Fantasy
New genre? Or old favorite?: Old favourite. Stick with what you like!
Other genres of your novel: Action/Adventure, Mystery/Suspense, Drama, Science
Gonna publish?: I WISH

Cliches/archetypes you're including (not necessarily a bad thing!): Ragtag group of random heroes saving the world, mysterious boy with sooper speshul powers, hell - everyone with sooper speshul powers, airships squee!
Cliches/archetypes you're avoiding: One-dimensional characters, male/female archetypes (can we say male white mage?), saving the world always works out in the end, magic not having any scientific explanation
Theme(s)/Issue(s) discussed: Overcoming weaknesses of all kinds for a greater good, strength in the face of huge adversity, religion vs spirituality vs faith, science is a good thing!, when you're trying to save the world make sure you know what you're doing
What we (the readers) will learn: Um, I'm just hoping that the story will rock your ass off.

Main character(s): Morgan DeLumens, Flash Hermes, Armenise Prynne, Nerea Levia, Ashain, Dianali Noir, Forte Pyrus, Rafe
Secondary characters: Herman, Kina, Nimo, Dyina, Raissa, Mentany, Daive, etc...
Protagonist(s): All, really, but Part One: Morgan and Part Two: Ashain
Antagonist(s): Rafe, the Extari, the Seven Sins, the world...
What does your protagonist(s) or main character(s) want most in the world?: Oh hell. They all want something different, really. To generalize ... In Part I they want to end the war; in Part II they need to save the world.

Setting: fantasy planet, ~1000 years after a huge war which destroyed most civilization, and in the midst of another war which has been going on for ~60 years.
Is the setting static or does it shift: It will shift as the characters meet each other and travel.
Is a place/culture/real-world environment? (Which): Ha! Hahaha! Um, no, it's all made up, to the point where it's governed by imaginary laws of thermodynamics!

Main Conflict: In Part I the main conflict is the war between the North and the South and how the East fits into it; in Part II the main conflict is a good-and-evil, save-the-world battle.
Sub Conflicts: Alllll kinds. So much of the story is the individual characters overcoming their internal weaknesses.
Obstacles in the journey: Loyalties, technologies, beliefs, secrets and mystery
Expected resolution(s): Well, I'm pretty sure they save the world the second time, because they sure fuck it up good the first time.

Summary of plot: There's been war between the North and the South for over sixty years, but it's not what it seems: a secret is discovered which could unravel the truth behind the conflict. A handful of people contain the information needed to piece together this puzzle, and at the center of it stand two men, both with no past and no name.

Tagline (a one-sentence slogan that sums up the tone and premise of your novel): READ MY STORY, I'LL WRITE YOU PORN! Um. Kidding. I'll think of one later.
