Yep, I'm writing a book. Bet you had to be a genius to figure that out.

Anyway, here is the basic plot and character profiles of some of my more original and serious stories, with some random thoughts added in. If you want to know any more contact me. I try to reply to all the messages I get. I will show them on this archive eventually, but it may take a while, I've been writing for two years already and I'm not that far......
I apologise for the dreadul titles, I'm not too good at finding names for things.

Khornya- a world like Earth, with oxygen, water, clouds, and life. A planet with a wealth in minerals, ready for humans to exploit. And beings, intelligent creatures, not identified in the first survey of the planet, wild creatures who can sense where the richest deposits lie, creatures who have become rare and valued things as humans have populated the planet, wild creatures who only survive, inbred, in captivity, having forgotten their wild roots. Creatures that are similar to humans, too similar. Creatures who want to protect nature, creatures that can only try to fight against the technology of the humans.

Raptors- genetic engineering- considered a blessing for the future, merging with a dark and violent past, to explode into the present with catastrophic consequences.
Three people, three times, discovering and fighting a foe that evolution did not prepare them for. Time is running out, for the rest of the human world is turning on them
I like this story idea a lot, but I keep getting dodgy dreams after watching all three Jurassic Parks and thinking about dinosaurs too much.

Chimera- the world is dying, tension is growing, the threat of war is imminant. One country, seeking to survive, and to win, make, through genetic engineering, human/animal hyrbrids, make humans with animal abilities, humans that are the perfect guerilla band. That is their plan, anyway, but genetic engineering is a far from perfect process, and some of them mutate, and have to be cast aside from the plan. These outcasts, children, odd, special children in a hostile world, have to break free, have to tell their story to the world.
This idea is cool as well, but I put too many characters into it and I can't keep track of them long enough to give them convincing personalities

Tribes- Cheiftain, warrior, worker, slave. That is the hierarchy of the river folk. The tribes who live on huge rafts floating around the water meadows and rivers of the woodland. Family units, merge into tribes, into clans, to protect their folk and customs. So when a pretty blue eyed girl, daughter of the GreenLeaf cheiftain, falls in love with a lowly worker from the clan of the birch, there's conflict. Conflict that could break out into war if they don't find a way to stop it....

Diablo- you eek a living from the rocky soil, you barely exist, you scrape enough food from the sand just to keep your family going, just enough to survive.
On an island far away, the gathered darkness, splits.
A battered ship, torn by the elements, ploughs bravely on through the storm, her scarred and tattooed crew fighting the wind and the waves.
They meet, a poor and peaceful community, a crew of pirates on the run from their dark king.
A group of youths, one who is faster than the average, one who sees things most don't, one who anchors them in reality. Searching for a way to get back to their families, for a way to help their fleeing siblings and parents . But drawn the other way by a call on the wind.
They all shall meet, and there shall be war. But who will win?
This was the first story I started writing, and I never got very far past the first three chapters

The Manta Ray-She was on the great spaceship!!! She was going to be a pilot, at last!!! Daja was thrilled to be back in space, but when the mutiny struck she wished herself back planet-side with her family. Its going to take all her piloting skills to get them away from the mother-ship alive, and all her imagination to keep them alive once they land on a hostile world.
This story was cool when I first started writing it but then I got a bit bored. I invented cool animals and all sorts for the planet, but haven't written anything about it for ages

The Uniforcation-what to do, what to do..... did we help those poor creatures in the land of the humans, do we give the humans knowledge, or do we retreat back into space and forget wwe ever came aross this world of intelligence, beauty, and greed. What if we do the wrong thing, our friends could then die, there would be a war that rivked that of the uniforcation of our kind.
I wrote this when I was on a 'save the world' kick, and included all sorts of nasty ways for the end of mankind to come about. Unfortunately thinking of mass destruction made me somewhat depressed so I sort of gave up on this story.

Toxicity- Space Explorers Sabra, Ray, Sallah and Bren found a world, in a time when the chartering and mapping of the cold vacuum of space was at its prime. It was a world that looked like it had once held life. It had clouds, but they rained down poisonous chemicals. It had land masses, and expanses of water, but all was charred, leaking radiation. It had an atmosphere, but all was breaking up because of the radiation leaking from the ground, what kind of beast had done this? There was history on this world, old, distressed artifacts that pointed to an intelligent culture. So they investigated, and learnt, that maybe, there was a beast inside all of them....
Another mass destruction theory story type thing. (If you understood that then you are a better person than me)

Semini-A keening cuts through the air. The dragon king is dead, his queen with him. Tradition lost in the confusion.
Lex was born on the black day that pirates attacked the city. Abandoned by her noble mother she survived on the streets, thieving and cheating. Prophecy says that one day those on the streets will be saved by the dragon. But prophecy doesn't seem to be helping her when she's caught and forced to labour
Nine years she has waited in darkness, trapped in her own mind. Nine long years she has waited for deaths sweet embrace, but once again her wish is denied.
A golden dragon prowls the rocky mountains, her half-grown wings a hindrance. If only she was older, an adult, then she could fly.
Fighting fit, striving to be normal. Love comes, and goes, leaving her shattered. And the memories resurface, memories of a long, black time when she waited for revenge. And she realizes, she is still waiting.
Worlds clash, powers that are not meant to be harnessed are found and unleashed. Daximo the pirate king is going to wish he'd never touched that noble girl. The nobles are wishing they'd paid more attention to the poor and the felons. For the unforgiven will rise to protect the city when the pirate comes knocking once more, and he's not going to survive to close the door after his visit....
This is my major story that I'm working on, it currently is about 400 pages, but it needs sorting out a lot, and I never have much time to write. Or I have time and no ideas to write about- for example this website is one of avoidance tactics, 'write cheesy website rather than look at large pile of work on desk' sort of avoidance.
