New Ideas

I now have a total of six ideas for books and here they are:

1) The Point Break book. You've probably already heard of it because I can't shut up about it.

2) The Saga of Rodderick St. James: It's loosely based on Point Break. The story is set in the year 1960, in a a dystopian-like underwater city. I kind of got the idea from Bioshock. The title character, Rodderick is the second generation of the underclass citizens, people who have sacrificed their humanity for their continued existence. (decades prior, a war broke out between the upper-class and the underclass citizens. When the underclass lost, they were forced to "splice up" to increase productivity and also to make identification between the classes easier.) Rodderick is a "wrenchie", tasked with managing the city's plumbing systems at the very bottom of the ocean, where he lives along with the underclass. His job is to make sure nothing explodes and sinks the whole place. He is a talking nineteen-year old white wolf (don't know why, but I seem fond of talking animals) who lives with his retired father and six-year old brother, Jack. Rodderick is an inventor, he invented the cryptex, a sort of Rubik's cube thing and also the telephone voice recorder, plus several other things that catch the attention of Rodger Maverick, business magnate and owner of Maverick Enterprises, a company that researches and develops new technology. Incidentally, Rodderick catches Rodger's eye and he offers him a deal like many before him. Throughout the years, Rodger has found many "talents" from the underclass and have helped to develop their ideas. And so, these "talents" now reside "upstairs" and now live a life of luxury. "It's my own way of giving back to society," he says. (Rodger was once an underclass citizen until he worked his way up the ranks) Rodderick jumps at the opportunity, but Alyssa, his close friend feels otherwise. Many know Rodger to be a mob boss, challenging the ruling powers of the city and always "having his way" when things weren't right. He makes people disappear. What is Rodderick to do? Sacrifice a chance at real life or his friendship with Alyssa and everyone else? Wrong choices have fatal consequences in this game of political struggle and conflict between the classes. And as Jigsaw might put it... "Live or die, make your choice."

3) Junkyard City. Ellie moves in with her grandmother and her "weird-smelling" house. As if that weren't bad enough, her obnoxious little brother gets to spend the holidays at Camp Kenoa, an adventure camp that's just packed with fun. Barely days after she has arrived, she gets acquainted with the local kids and their stories of the town. The town was once the scene of many heinous crimes and terrible disasters: witchcraft, the Spanish Influenza, a great fire that once destroyed half the town, etc. Following this, many have left because they feel that the town is cursed. Ellie doesn't believe anything of what the gang tells her, calling it "utter bullshit." The gang falls in love with her instantly and she is automatically accepted in. But a few weeks later, in the town's junkyard, they get shrunk whilst playing around among some wrecked cars. Ellie is alone as she wanders on and on towards some lights. At first, she thought is was the town, but it is in fact Junkyard City, a city constructed entirely of waste and inhabited by old toys controlled by spirits. Ellie's first encounter with one of the mysterious beings is with Sammie, a sort of "voodoo doll" with a softball for a head that had rusty screws hammered into it as "hair". Sammie a hyper sort of person who has an IQ of a two-year old, according to another rag doll, Mr. Gentleman, who has his legs ripped off later on in the story. The city's mayor, Lord Voldermort (Yes, the one from Harry Potter. He's actually a nice guy, really. Made of plastic) shrunk them with a shrink-ray gun from a failed military experiment that was disposed there in the city. He did that because they needed their help because the bigger town council will be taking out the dump and thus, destroying the city. The characters are very Tim Burton-like and is set in a very dark environment. The toys themselves look like they were from the emo-version of Toy STory.

4) I don't know whether I should write this or not, but I guess I will because I HAD THE FREAKING IDEA FIRST!!! Okay, the story goes like this: In the not so distant future, a Professor in New York invents Oracle, a machine that can unlock and edit the mind. coma patients can simply be brought be back through the execution some simple commands in the mind menu. (The average mind is displayed in the form of menus and programs. The complexity of the mind varies and so does the physical representation of it: It varies from a simple list of programs to an entire library of information depending on the individual.) A few weeks later, as Oracle is going through its test phases for its grand unveiling to the world, the Professor's son is involved in a car accident and settles into a coma. When the Professor finally agrees to have his son be scanned, all are in awe. The boy's mind is the size of a world, ever-changing and more complex than anyone could have thought possible. The Professor, along with some of his colleagues have to "plug-in" (like the Matrix) and venture into the boy's mind in search of the "key mechanism" or "throw switch" to bring him back, and on the way, discover the truth about the Boy and all the sinister secrets he has been keeping from the Professor. I said I had the idea first because like six months later, Inception started playing in theaters all over the world and I was like "FUUUU!!!!!11!! D8<," because the boy's mind looks exactly like that, with the roads that bend upwards, the walking on the ceiling and some crap, except the Professor and his friends have no way to tell the difference between what's real and what's not. (They don't have that spinning top thingy) So there, that was Oracle. I'm not sure whether I should write it after Inception.

5) As you know, the whole Twilight thing exploded way out of proportion, and I thought "Hey, even I can do a better job than sparkly vampires and whiny chicks." The werewolf guy was okay, I guess. Just that he needs to wear a freaking shirt more often. So here is Nest Hollow: All her life, Ellie has known Alec as the adorable and slightly talkative boy next door. It all started on the last day of the holiday when she catches an exchange taking place between Alec and the head prefect, Jordan. They both look as if they were going to rip their throats out. It gets even weirder - she doesn't hear from him in a week and when school finally reopens, she can hardly recognise him. He is built like a body-builder and there seems to be something wrong with his eyes: they are cold and empty, no love in them whatsoever. Ellie's fellow females are now very much interested in the hottest guy in Nest Hollow High, much to her irritation. She wants to find out just what happened to him, the Alec she knew. Things get even weirder from there: Soon, some of the nerdiest and dorkiest people in the school suddenly start getting hotter (or just plain hot, on Barney Stinston's Crazy/Hot Scale). Lindsay Taylor is now the red-headed "vixen" of Nest Hollow, which is funny because just a week ago, Ellie could have sworn that Taylor wore thick glasses and had the worst case of acne for miles around. Brent Larkin, the regular school punching bag now looked like he grew a whole foot in the past week and was now just as ripped as Alec. She noticed something else too, Alec now sits with the smart people at their table in a corner. Months go by and Ellie still ponders over school and Alec and everyone else. Soon, it's the end of the year and Ellie's parents have left her brother in her care while they're on their wedding anniversary. It is also winter, the time of year where the majority of the citizens of Nest Hollow migrate away from the town and its infamous winters in search for warmer climates. Two and a half weeks alone with her obnoxious brother in her father's clinic every alternate night. Just great. But one night, when she decided to leave her brother at home, she hears something outside. Howling and thrashing. A patient in pain? No, two very big and very real wolves doing battle in the parking lot of her dad's clinic! She is terrified. What should she do? Suddenly, the black wolf and her lock gazes and s second later it is thrown into an old car that has been parked there for as long as she could remember by the brown wolf. The brown wolf runs off into the night while the black wolf lies limp in the wreck of the car. Unthinkingly, Ellie rushes out with a stretcher (or whatever you call those wheel cart things you put patients on) Later, she calls Holly, her best fiend with the news that she has a feral animal chained to a slab in her dad's clinic. Holly agrees to come. But when Ellie turns around to check if the beast is still out cold, she finds Alec on the slab instead. Alec is a natural werewolf, with weres as parents. The story oscilates between Alec and Ellie. Later in the story, a bus crashes into an overhead bridge that collapses with Ellie on it, just after she and Alec get into a fight. In order to save her, Alec makes the difficult choice of changing her. He brings her to his hideout, an abandoned power station atop a hill. There, he morphs and bites her on each of her wrists and waits. Lots of stuff happen in it and it is my second favorite series to write. It's funny, it's not as angsty as Twilight, and it's something guys can watch without reeling, instead making them at least 48% more awesome. The first book is mostly about Ellie adapting to her new life as a werewolf and all its fine points and quirks.

Won't be writing about the sixth story because my fingers are just too tired. So, next time
