So I got tired of my old account name...all the stuff I posted is basically the same stuff on my old account lol save for one or two poems.
I plan on drawing sketchs for the characters of the book I'm writing but I don't have access to a scanner so who knows when those will be put up.
For those of you who actually want to know what my book is going to be about...
Yeah, I still have trouble answering that question lol but here's a try:
It's a Historical Fantasy/Allegory *gets a heck load of weird stares* yeah I know it sounds crazy...but I'm just getting started lol.
Let me explain the fantasy part. There are elves, nymphs and changlings in the story so I can't say that it's NOT fantasy. However, that doesn't mean it's going to be all faires, magic, wizards, etc.
There will be some magical elements, of course, since we are dealing with fantastic (as in not real) creatures but at the same time, I want it to be as realistic as I can make it.
So anyway, the book is set sometime during the ancient Roman empire. So, in the beginning, there was man, elf, and nymph. Are there humans in the story right now? Not anymore. Why you ask? Well in case you haven't noticed, humans are not immortal. Also, if you know anything about history, there were several wars/famines/pleagues/etc. in ancient times so basically mankind is extinct. So with man out of the way, the elves take over, made the empire their own, and enslaved the nymphs to serve their needs (very much like the original Romans, but they would never admit it).
But wait, the Roman elves are not alone! *dun dun DUN* On the other side of the world is the Chinese Empire. That's right...Chinese Elves. They also have nymph slaves so the nymphs are just out of luck. Well this is ok for a while but then something that I can't tell you about because it's a huge plot point happens and suddenly the two empires are out to destroy each other.
Meanwhile, there's a deity who calls himself the Creator. Nobody knows about him because they all have their own gods they worship and he's not happy about the state the world is in. So he's plans to start over via destroying the world more or less. But he knows that people can change so he's willing to give them the opportunity to.
However, he needs a messenger...thus the book begins.
There's my 'brief' (ha) synopsis of the beast of a novel I'm currently hacking away at. As you can see by my mood, I'm excited as all get out about this book bwahahaha.
Of course, I'm still in college...dang.
