Kenzie | 2838 comments I think it's a neat idea, SBG. The idea of people randomly "disappearing" when they're supposed to die is cool. That could be a way to tie it to reality, by saying something about how "when missing person reports turn up dry the people are sometimes in the otherworld."

Just start writing it and let your pen/pencil (keys--if you work on a computer) show you where to go. Perhaps you'll come up with a "full-plot" idea then. Write what you have. You can always edit if things don't fit. :)

i know what u mean ... that happens to me too ... ><
hmm yeah ongoing conflict like a war or something usually helps


message 8: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
yeah maybe some of the realm-ppl don't like the humans .... that could cause conflict.

so you're saying, some of them capture the humans and then push them back thru the portal - therefore back into danger, so they die? seems a little complicated ... couldn't they just kill the humans or something? idk ...

OOH IDEA!!!
okay, how about if you're Rescued, it's just a POSSIBILITY that you'll die. so, you can stay in the realms place forever and can never go back to your old life OR you're allowed to go back, and possibly live, but you also might die
... which is why ppl would be conflicted about going back through the portal.
does that make sense??

Kenzie | 2838 comments That would be cool. Like they'll live for sure if they stay in the new realm, but if they REALLY wanted to go back to the old one they could. The catch is they might die if they go back.


message 11: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
exactly!! i mean, that wouldn't be the whole conflict, but it would be a good twist ;)


message 12: by Kenzie (new)

Kenzie | 2838 comments It would.

I like the idea of the other realm people getting mad at the people the Rescuers save and deciding the engage in war with them. That would be a neat conflict. :)

Would they take their anger out on only the rescued people, or would they travel through the portals and attack the people? Can they go through the realm not being Rescuers? Can anyone go through the portal, or just people who are being saved from death?


message 13: by Kenzie (new)

Kenzie | 2838 comments Or you could have the new area have no government at all. They could have rank societies, where different jobs give you different levels of law in the realm.


message 14: by Kenzie (new)

Kenzie | 2838 comments Alright, just brainstorming. :)


message 15: by Kenzie (new)

Kenzie | 2838 comments Any other aspect of the story you wanted help with?


message 16: by Kenzie (new)

Kenzie | 2838 comments If I were in your position I'd just start writing and let your story guide you. I wouldn't worry about getting it all planned out before you start.


message 17: by Kenzie (last edited Apr 23, 2009 04:50PM) (new)

Kenzie | 2838 comments How about a name like Demetre for the guy? Pronounced, "De-mee-tree."

Kenzie | 2838 comments I really like the name Chloe for your M.C.


message 21: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
yeah that's a pretty name


message 22: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
no, i think it's great! it sounds like a "shy" and cute kind of name ^_^


message 23: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
ooh yeah that sounds awesome!


message 24: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
kewl


message 25: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (lettingtheinkdry) awesome!



message 26: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
cool! :D


message 27: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (lettingtheinkdry) Have it be in both. Like have some of the relm people get into the world and wreak chaos and bad stuff. Then there could be war and battles that can be going on in both places.
Just an idea but having the setting be two places gives you more flexability.


message 28: by Veronica, What the neck!? (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
Actually, I think that it would be cool if it were mostly in the realm.

And your idea actually gave me a different idea. Basically, what happened to those boys? What happened to the girl's family. Hmmm.


message 29: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (lettingtheinkdry) sounds good. I can't wait to read what you come up with.


message 30: by Veronica, What the neck!? (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
Maybe he was an awkward child. And when he finally got to be at a less awkward age (maybe almost adult) he had issues with drinking, which he had developed because nobody had ever liked him.


message 31: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (lettingtheinkdry) wars are always good for a plotline.
There could be like a string of relm people killings and he could be the suspect. Just a thought.


message 32: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (lettingtheinkdry) yeah you do. well it sucks that it didn't work out though.


message 33: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (lettingtheinkdry) Yeah I know, But you can still use all that stuff you came up with for other stories right?


message 34: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (lettingtheinkdry) Yeah that sucks. I'm working on 2 stories and I'm at a dead end. I can't stand it.
