July Camp Nano: A poll

[aldersprig]

So, July's almost here, and I'm planning of writing the next Addergoole episode as a 52,000-word novella during Camp Nano. The question is, which story?

I have four in mind, and will probably, eventually, write all of them:

Year 10: She wakes up in a hotel-like room underground, with no memory of who she is, who these people are, or what she's doing there.

As the Apoc Falls: The world is falling apart, the gods are attacking - and they are still being sent away to boarding school?

Second Generation: Their parents went here. It can't be that bad, can it?

Cynara's School: It's year fourty-three of the Addergoole school, and a bunch of Addergooe alum have built their own school.

It won't let me select all four? (Okay, so that would defeat the purpose, still...)

:-D I will probably write all four eventually.

*Cheering from the sidelines* Because I wanted to vote for all four too.

I think I'd enjoy any of these, but I voted for Year 10 because it reminded me very strongly of a story concept of my own.

See, the books of Lois Bujold's Vorkosigan saga – at least the earlier pbs, iirc (and I'm too lazy to go to the next room and check) – had in the back matter a list of the saga so far, with a one- or two-sentence teaser. I filked that into "The Vorrutyer Saga: same universe, different view". Not a song, but a parallel series of titles and teasers, in the same sequence, with each title a take-off on the original with a teaser written to justify the title. The hook here is spun off of Lois's Memories:

After a party that's wild even by his standards, By wakes up with... just who is that person, and how did the two of them get here? And where is "here", and why is the door locked from the outside? And why won't his odd bedmate wake up...? Call it Barrayar noir.

Reminds me of the beginning of Time Enough for Love. To Sail Beyond the Sunset

Yes, sounds right. (Since the correction.) Though I haven't read either in (mumble-some).

I first read Sail when it came out in hardcover, 'cause my dad bought it. <.
