I'm writing a book!

WILL IT INCLUDE GIANT SQUIDS THAT SHOOT OUT SPAGGETI-O's????

no im sory. sounds cool. how about you have this guy called froco and he has to drop the ming vase into "mordor's vase reparation".

ok ill stop with the retarded ideas.

how about there are 3 planes of exsistence light, dark and uhhh Semi-dark... (continue story)

I liked your movie ideas (I always suggested a montage of some sort) I like the fact that everyone is grey in your book, I always like movies and games (don't read many books) where all the characters have their own goals andarn't all like "I'ma goin to blow up the world"

will the book be R rated?

Well I guess I can show you guys the basic plot:P

The story takes place inside what looks like a massive circular enclosed valley. Almsot looks like the inside of a massive volcane except much much higher. Deep within this isolated mountain is a group of massive circular rock collums that are all connected to each other, On top of these large rock pillars there are several small towns of people who moved there many years ago to isolate themselves but still be able to live happily. One day a young girl (i thinking between 13-17) finds a hidden path that leads to the bottom of the collums where she finds what looks like a large jungle surrounding the bottom of the collums.

What makes this jungle unique is that every plant is has different kinds of defense mechanisms that people can use against each other, like vines that contain acid or spiked plants. The girl ( lets call her Eliza for now) finds a large settlement of people who apparently have been protecting the collums for hundreds of years, not realizing what really lives on top of them. Their whole world is shaken by her arrival because the people they protect the collums against now know there is something really worthwhile to do with these collums. The two sides in the story are the people who protect the collums and and the people who look to discover what lies beyond them. Neither are good or bad, the protecters want to see what is up there as much as the other side does, so there is going to be lots of warfare and betrayel between either sides as they both try and get the girl back up to the collums.

thats what i have so far, im gonna make it pretty big and in depth.

Ooh that sounds pretty interesting. I wish both you, and Kirbyangel good luck with your books. I wish i was any good at writing, but i'll just enjoy reading them for now :)

Looks nice if you flesh it out a bit. Right now I'm working on what is most likely going to end up an internet miniseries. It tells the story of McD the clown and the Quick Sustinance mob war.

Can I be in it?Nemme

sure, you can be the psycotic half tree half man:P

thanks, I am trying to make every character a possible villian in a way since they all want to see the top of the collums. And there is going to be a lot of conflict when the people who are supposed to be the collums defenders realize that what they have been guarding for all these years is something worth guarding and the others who usually are the enemys of the collum guarders realize they want the same thing and things get pretty messy with various people changing sides and people dieing. It gets more awkward when the leader of the protecters ( thats their name for now) has a personal interest in helping the girl and so does the leader from the other side. So you dont know who really is the good and bad guy.

I have one thing i am trying to figure out, should the book be in modern times or old times. Basically should it be swords and crossbows or more modern things like guns. Or maybe a mix of new and old?Film-Guy

ever see beyond thunder dome?, I say make it like that

interesting, I am trying to make it very nature based though, I dunno how that would mix with a beyond thunderdome style.

I agree yeah, but im wondering if it makes more sense to have the people below the collum or the people on the collum to have the more advanced weapons and how advanced should the advanced weapons be. Not modern day guns but maybe Crossbows or old style guns.

are you planning on making some sort of statement on the human condition? the human quest for the unattainable(icaris), maybe? i think it would help to keep an ultimate goal in mind while you write your book(if you dont already).LoG-Sacrament

well the main theme in the book is showing how far some people are willing to go to get what they want to see, like the top of the collums. Even the leader of the people you assume are the good guys does less good stuff, like executeing a traitor or not showing mercy to a wounded enemy. Less hero type things basically. You dont really know if any of them really care what happens to the girl, as long as they see the top of the collums.

a thirst for knowledge, i see. sounds cool.

I think that would work perfectlly, but im wondering whether i should put in some kind of magic or mystical creatures. Or maybe the people from the top of the collum find a way down so they can look for the girl.

Well all I can say is good luck..

I have always liked to plan stories and plotlines (especially ones based on alternative history), but I have only written a few short fan stories based on other sources (And I dont mean Harry Bloody Potter, mind you) and I even won an award few years back with my Warhammer 40k story. But I could never write a book, I'm simply not patient enough. So if you finish this, respect from this end.

that sounds great, maybe the two primative people even team up at one point, not all of them mind you. Also the jungle is also a sort of weapon for the primative people, for example one primitive guy baits one of the people from the collums to chase after him into a thicket of leaves which use their defense mechanism which is to become really sharp and they cut him up as he chases the primitive guy, or he throws them.

Since I cant do much with my movie ideas I decided to turn one of my ideas into a book like somebody here suggested. Its a fantasy book, except I am trying to not have any archeatypes. That means no good or bad, everyones grey. It should go well, the idea is really good, but its kinda hard to explain the main plot.Film-Guy

Hey,

when your done, send it my way. I'll proof read it for ya:)

but what about creatures? they dont have to be magical, I just think, I should put it some diversity.
