Help, please . . . I can't choose a story idea. >_> *mutant yooyu'd*
Here are my current story ideas (all Neo-related) for the NaNo.
1. Neopian Legends: Callianne of Neovia - a story of a young Ixi aristocrat who was promised by her mother to the Witch of the Lake (Yes, 'tis a Maraquan/Water Faerie story. Belle would love this. X3)
2. (still thinking of title) - A young Lutari goes on a quest to find out who she really is - all while battling the forces of evil. X3
Okay, so I have two ideas pending. Help me choose one please. Thankies! ^^

Mmkays.  Personally, the first one looks more interesting, though the second one looks like it might be easier to write. So... if you want to go for interesting, I'd say the first, though if you're more determined to get the 50,000 words, I'd say the second. *is really not very helpful with helping people choose stuff*  ; Um, I guess it depends on what you, personally, are aiming for with NaNo; the wordcount or the story. |

Well . . . I'd like to make it interesting, but also easy to write . . . *sigh* What now? -__-' |

*ponders* Well, if you have some idea where you're going with the first one, I say go for the first. |

Two single sentence synopses. Hmm, have ye got a lil more about each story lass? Both sound like they have qualities fit fer an interstin' story.

I agree with Leptony, if you start to plan out the two stories, maybe you'll start to figure out which one you like better. It's all your point of view, and if you can write the magic into that story and still reach 50,000 words, go for it, my friend!

Gee, thanks. XD
I started on the Lutari idea months ago, but I never continued it . . . should I go for that?
But then again, Callianne has been bugging me for the last few days . . . should I go for her story?

If you mean you started writing it and you want to continue it, that's not a good idea. ; For NaNo you have to start the actual writing of the story in November, not continue something that's been written earlier (you can plan the ideas long before November, just not actually write the story until November starts). I think if you wanted to start writing the story again, from the beginning, you could do that, though. |

PFA's right.  For NaNo, you have to write something brand new. No continuing something you've already started. In that case, I'd use Idea 2 or think of something else. ^_^ |

I dunno about Nature doin' this fer NaNo, PFA. That wasn't e'en mentioned 'til yer post. Back onta subject now, have ye got the skeletons fer each story fleshed out lass? If so, we could compare yer spoilers. Us'ally writers blockitis er in the details, nay so much the main points.
A. Merchant ship chased down by pirate ship.
B. Water Neopet pirates ambush the ship from below decks and saboutage the vessel.
C. Pirates get alongside and do battle with the crew
D. Merchant Ship is captured and crew left in a dinghe on the high seas.
