SO HEY this is just a quick post compared to usual. Next month I'll be talking about NOTHING EXCEPT one of my wips so I thought I should get this out as soon as I could XD
I had this great idea to give you all something fun for Christmas but I couldn't decide WHAT. So, I thought - why not let you all decide??
HERE'S THE DEAL. I will be writing you a SHORT STORY for Christmas, but I need your help to decide what kind of story. I have four ideas that I'd love to delve into, and it's your job to tell me which one!
Chances are you won't all agree, but that's okay. MAJORITY RULES. The story that gets most votes wins ;D
The contestants :
[working title]
genre: futuristic ordinary life
IN WHICH everyone just does online shopping and have their orders delivered to their doorstep but there's one little shabby corner store left on our main character's street, and she just happens to know the social outcast boy whose family runs it bc they go to the same school. Then Christmas time comes and ...
SORRY CAN'T TELL YOU MORE BC IT'S IN SPOILER ZONE.
but it's about smol disasters and unlikely heroes ...
[working title]
genre: magical realism/fantasy
IN WHICH I draw inspiration from Owl City's song "Peppermint Winter".
You only see Santa on Christmas Eve right?
Well what about his elves?
This is about a little girl who loves Christmas and how she meets this mysterious boy in the area and has a lot of fun with him and wants to be friends but SURPRISE she discovers he has a secret identity.
SORRY CAN'T TELL YOU MORE BC IT'S IN SPOILER ZONE.
but it's about magical friends and secret identities ...
[working title]
genre: contemporary/retelling
IN WHICH I attempt to retell the folktale of the Gingerbread Man and instead of food and animals it features humans and a little fugitive and a touch of mystery. Main character is on the run after being suspected of something and it will take a special someone to catch him/her.
SORRY THAT'S KINDA ALL I HAVE ON THIS ONE. (more brainstorming required)
but it's about running and hiding and trying not to be caught...
genre: fanfiction/retelling
IN WHICH I write a fanficton/retelling of The Lion King, from Scar's perspective with a TWIST - he's the good guy, and Mufasa is the questionable one. This one would be longer than a short story but has zero percent to do with Christmas XD
I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT WRITING THIS, WHETHER OR NOT FOR YOU ;D
but it's about a neglected smol lion cub and his tyrannical elder brother and how he brings justice to Pride Lands ...
SO, WHAT SAY YOU, MY DUDES??
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR VOTE IS BELOW IN THE COMMENTS ;D
xx lisa
BOY NEXT DOOR

ReplyDeleteAAWWW THANKS GIRL <3 I'll just say you cast two votes!!
DeleteOoooo, either Spring on Moonlight or the Outcast King, but THEY ALL SOUND SO GOOOOOOD......
ReplyDeleteThis is also a super, super cool idea! Can’t wait to see what happens!
SO GLAD YOU LIKE THE IDEA and I can't wait to see which one I will be writing for you <3
DeleteOK, so apparently my eyes hate me and I read "Spring on Moonlight" instead of "Sipping on Moonlight." -_- Apologies, Lisa!
DeleteThe Outcast King, Scar was always one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHAHA YES !! *high five*
DeleteAs a fellow Owl Citizen, I vote for Sipping on Moonlight! XD (And your idea sounds like it would make such a sweet, magical story. <3 That too, lol.)
ReplyDelete*fist bump* LOVE OWL CITY. GLAD YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF MOONLIGHT <3
DeleteWait, we're called Owl Citizens? I love that! I like Owl City, but I haven't heard "Peppermint Winter." (I'm a new citizen.) I'll have to find it.

SIPPING ON MOONLIGHT AHHHH.
ReplyDeleteYAY look at that the battle begins XDD
DeleteUM THEY ALL SOUND SO GOOD HOW DO I CHOOSE 😩
ReplyDeletebut to be honest I’d probably like to read Sipping on Moonlight the most xD Can’t wait to see which one wins and how it goes!
I'M HAPPY THEY ALL SOUND GOOD TO YOU!! Moonlight appears to be leading at the present moment!
DeleteBoy Next Door or Outcast King.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd take those, anonymous fury ;D
DeleteAs Fast As You Can. This sounds so unique and epic. I need more info. XD
ReplyDeleteYAY this was a last minute inspiration idea tbh hahahahaaa...
DeleteBOY NEXT DOOR AHHH IT SOUNDS COZY AND JUST RIGHT FOR CHRISTMAS.
ReplyDeletethis is such a great idea.
xx
(also I need The Outcast King sometime in my life, but for Christmas I'd rather have Boy Next Door) xD
YES!! I think it has a Christmas mood too ^-^ And I think I'll write the Outcast King later on anyway :P
DeleteSIPPING ON MOONLIGHT YES DO THAT ONE AHH. all of these ideas are soooo neat. and yes, you have to do the last one but sipping on moonlight could be so cozy christmas-ey feely ahh <3
ReplyDeleteOOOHHHHH yes. I would totally go for a Christmas-y feet too <3 Thanks for the vote Sare!
DeleteI’m definitely loving Boy Next Door, but As Fast as You Can is really close! Honestly tho, I’m thinking that The Outcast King is my favorite. XD (snippets when you start writing it??)
ReplyDeleteACK WOW three votes?? hMMM .... yes I may just have to make Outcast King a REAL wip and share it with you all! We'll see how it goes :DD
DeleteOkay, so they all sound so super cool, but I think As Fast as You Can might be really neat?
ReplyDeleteCan you please just write them all??
GLAD TO SEE AS FAST AS YOU CAN IS GETTING SOME LOVE TOO ;D
DeleteWELLLLLLLL....... that's an idea. let's just wait and see ....
Okay for the Christmas part, definitely Boy Next Door. I'm in love with the concept already. But I also really want to read the Lion King retelling because I love that movie so much that I apparently talk about it all the time without even noticing (my mom recently told me I reference it in almost every conversation XD)

Lost in Translation
IT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU LIKE THE IDEA SO MUCH <3 I'm really happy ^-^ I'll try my best to write the Lion King retelling story as well, so that maybe I can share it later on, because the idea has really grabbed me too! My sibs and I are quite the fans ourselves - we've seen all three movies and the tv show XDD
DeleteI vote Sipping on Moonlight. =)

Yay!! Also WOW YOU TIED IT WITH BOY NEXT DOOR!! XD Thanks for voting!
DeleteWow, I feel so important. =) Also, I listened to Peppermint Winter, and this story sounds ten times more adorable!!
DeleteTHESE ARE ALL AMAZING HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE??? Sipping on Moonlight sounds absolutely lovely, I vote that one! ^_^
ReplyDeleteBOY NEXT DOOR and SIPPING ON MOONLIGHT. And they ALL sound awesome and fun!! <333
ReplyDeleteOkay, my first thought was Fast as you can (especially since it isn't getting much love), but then Boy Next Door also sounds amazing. I mean, I love anything that even might involve a little smol romance. 😉
