Well I just got an idea that I really quite like for a potential NT series. It would be a very interesting challenge for me because I almost exclusively write stories which are kinda adventures and all the tension comes from the characters trying to battle external forces and achieve their goal... whereas this one would derive its interest entirely from relational drama. As in, to the extent that nothing else would happen in the story. It would be an incredibly interesting challenge for me to write, and to write well... but it's kinda NaNo at the moment so not the best time to be starting a new project :/
EDIT: Ughh, this series looks to be at least ten parts long... that's what you get for picking a tension that would not be easily resolved at all...

Ohhh man, I feel ya Moni. <3 I'm finding it so hard to work on things lately- I haven't edited my Space Fantasy novella in months, and am not doing a good job of regularly updating my werewolf project (though the next chapter is mostly ready...I just keep making tiny edits and putting off posting it.)
And don't even get me STARTED on all the short stories I've neglected.

Me: Oooh, I want to write some NT articles! Especially since I actually remembered the Usukicon article I wrote last year but decided to wait a year to submit because there was a theme issue that week! And I've got a few different ideas -- hey, if I follow through on enough of these I might actually get the avatar! Also me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi3aEGo8y-E

I've been trying to write this one Halloween NT story for a solid three years running but each year October rolls around and I find I'm not quite ready to commit it to paper. I think this is the year though.

Breakingchains *cheers you on* \o/ Ahh, that's always such an exciting feeling! I'm curious, what's the story you had in mind? It's a short story that I don't think I've mentioned. A little old lady kacheek has to go on a quest into the haunted woods on Halloween night, when its magic is at its most dangerous. She's alone, only Halloween night will do, and we don't find out why until the end. The main sticking point has been that I'm trying to strike a very specific "dark fairy tale being told to you by the fire" style with my prose, and I'm not sure my skills are quite there yet, but I'm gonna try!

Breakingchains Ahhh, I know exactly that style you're talking about! Reminds me of a story idea I had aaages ago and wrote part of the first chapter for, and it was that exact same style of fireside horror tales! (although my attempt was probably anything but that x3) Best of luck with that, I'm sure you could do well with the idea! :3
