All these are just… *jaw drops* *picks jaw up off the floor* *affixes it to my face again* I would much rather read these than 90% of the stuff I find at the library.

So, I do have a WIP, though it’s pretty much impossible to write a good synopsis without spoilers, but it’s a early steampunk era with magical fantasy races and people who have made Not GreatTM life decisions. It’s a serial I’m posting one “episode” at a time on my blog (link in my bio).

But! I have another story I’m looking forward to writing, once I figure some things out regarding the plot. It’s about these four fictional characters who escaped their book. The main character, Stan, was once a knight, but HATED it and is now a florist. The “damsel in distress,” Polly, is now a con artist. The villain, Odessia, who was called a witch but was more of a scientist, is now an inventor. It was one of her inventions that let her and the others escape the book. Her sister Esmeralda was the queen of fairyland, and she was the only one who didn’t want to leave the book, but due to a malfunction with Odessia’s machine, was transported out anyway.

Because the machine opened a gateway between the book and real life but didn’t close it, it’s now unstable, and let one more character escape: the real villain, an evil dragon. In the book, he’s defeated by Stan and Esmeralda, but because they left the book, he’s been running rampant. He’s very intelligent, and has realized he’s from a book, and… if he kills Stan and Esmeralda, he will be basically unstoppable.

In real life, Odessia and Esmeralda, who are fairies, and the dragon, look like humans. But as the gateway grows more unstable, they’re turning back into what they were, which will be fun to play with. I’m thinking the theme will be humility, because each character struggles with pride in one way or another.
