NANOWRIMO.

6 weeks and 3 days to think of/choose a plot for my NaNo novel. Or at least characters and a setting :P

Ideas (please tell me which ones are your favorites!)
---
A mysterious assassin is killing off members of the Council, leaving behind only a red rose at the site of each killing. Eriada, a mage specializing in tracking and eliminating criminals, is recruited to find this assassin. Thing is, the people that have been killed are the very people who she believes have been corrupted by (insert name of evil group here). Her lines of loyalty are blurred as the war against (evil group) is sparked. So does she stay loyal to her king, or does she do what she thinks is best for her people?
Genre: Fantasy

After the war that almost killed everyone on the planet, a society within what was formerly North America is set up. Called Filiorum Potentia, after the Latin for "children of power", this society revolves around the training of their children to combat the Outsiders, people determined to collapse FP and spread anarchy. Rachel Halting,daughter of two of the best fighters, is born into this world. At 8, she's sent to City 5, one of the old cities that's now a training ground. At 14, she's a Wolfrunner, a scout for the Wolf Clan. But, while on a mission for her Clanmaster, she accidentally kills the Jackalmaster. Now she has to face the challenge of unwanted leadership while simultaneously molding Jackalclan into a more member-centered Lionclan. But what happens when she discovers a startling connection between the Outsiders and the Parliament of Filiorum Potentia?
Genre: Sci-fi???

School and other things.

So. School started almost a month ago. Which means that I lost two weeks of summer break. Which kinda sucks, and the only way I can make it up is to go to college in the North, which is what I'm already planning. But anyways, I'm the only freshman in my Chemistry class, which is kind of intimidating, but my other classes are fine. And I actually have friends down here now! W00T!

I reread LotR and the Silmarillion last week and i JUST realized how epic Imrahil was. I can't believe I had never noticed that before! I mean, he's the prince of Dol Amroth, he's got an epic standard, and he has elven-blood in him! On the other hand, whatever happened to Amandil, Elendil's father? All that it says is that Amandil sailed into the west with three companions in hopes of finding the Undying Lands, but nothing is ever heard from him again. O.o And I finally figured out where Beleriand is in relation to Middle-earth proper. You know the maps in the LotR books that have the Ered Luin mountain range up at the northwest? Those are in the west of Beleriand, which means that Beleriand itself is under the sea to the north.

I've also become one of THEM now in the A:TLA fandom. Not a Zutara shipper (thank heavens) but a shipper in general. An (almost) obsessive shipper. My headcanon is pretty weird, though...it's Toko and Ty Lokka, and Kataang is canon. But I also ship Ty Ru, Teoph, and Tokka. *cringes* TOO MANY SHIPS!!!

(all right, that was extremely geeky...)

And my dog got a backpack. LOL.
