Feel free to laugh at me.
Sep. 21st, 2009 02:15 pmConvention hotpants diet day 1. Stopped snacking last week, jogging at weekends is up to 3 fields, now trying the special k 2-weeker to get rid of the summer podge. If you hear me constantly moaning about being starving, ignore me.
nano ideas did come up, after the panic, and what research I'd have to do :
1) Alistair/Joe. it's like Notting hill but with spy life in the background.
2) Jafar-Eustace, VotD time, continuation of the 'verse where the Pevensies stayed. er. er. er.
3) Circle village - early 80s mining village cut with the first years of settlement, possibly some Roman. Vague horror-ish? - settlement times for northumberland, when mining started, and some on the 80s strikes
4) pirates?
5) smuggling saga between stairs edwardian? - lifeboats, upstairs-downstairs, that photographer couple on indeedsir
6) cornish exploring officer psycho girl? - 18th/19th c, exploring officers, girls employed by the army. places of training.
7) girl in Wellington's army - see above, but with added girls who disguised themselves as blokes.
1) Alistair is a werewolf in MI7, the Weird Happenings branch. Joe is a rather famous american movie star. They hit it off and have a habit of shagging when Joe is in the country. Less angst than Notting Hill, with added spy life in the background.
2) Jafar is the scholar son the Tisroc married off to Edmund, thinking that an alliance with the legendary nutjobs who rule narnia again is good, and an alliance with the favoured of a god (Bacchus) even more so. (no concerns about issue since the general opinion is that succession will pass down through Peter and Susan/Caspian) Add Eustace. mostly a 'gaaaah, they're fucking nuts!'
3) Circle village verse, intercut between a mining town in Northumberland during the 80s' strikes and the settlement of the village, so you get the reactions of present day of the coppers and Union versus scenes of 'oh fucking hell we have *elves*?' (Blame Billy Elliot)
4) Pirates. Um, no, there is no plot for this one...
5) upstairs downstairs romance between the second son of a rich cornish family and the valet of relatives who come to visit them on occasion. Add in that the cornish lot have the rep for being dodgy due to being smugglers (well, *duh*) and the son's on lifeboats for bits of drama.
6) One of the daughters of a naval family turns out to be a psycho. They do a deal with Wellington to channel her tendencies into being an assassin exploring officer. Add the regiment of soldiers that often gets stuck with her.
7) Girl disguises herself to go off and be a soldier. Ends up in the Rifles. And of course she sodding well seduces her cute Irish captain, what do you take me for?
Opinions? Ideas? which one sounds most viable for a novel or interesting?
