I'll tell you what we'll do. I'll ask a question and tally the votes from the last 12 or so posts, and if anyone reasonably obliges, we'll vote again, or I'll just tweak the result.

Alright, first, we'll have to decide the genre.

Usually here.

^^ Agreed.

I'd put some witty quote or hilarious reference here, but I've been treed by a velociraptor. Sorry.

^^Adding to that: Urban fantasy tragicomedy.

I'd say straight up tragedy, but eh.

^^^ Yeah, that will work.

Urban Fantasy Action, that's what I say.

Maybe an Urban Fantasy Thriller then? Sort of like Death Note, but WITH FARIES, ELVES, and maybe VAMPIRES?

I propose a speculative sci-fi/fantasy with a touch of horror here and there.

I've heard somewhere that a Cosmic Horror Story is like a mixture of Urban Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Horror.

I don't perfer a Cosmic Horror. Personally, I think something on a smaller scale would be better.

Urban Fantasy Cyberpunk perhaps? Think of pink gothic faries with piercing who curse the Muggles at nightclubs.

Can it take place in the afterlife? As in, all of the characters live in an alternate version of the earth where everyone is dead, but are also free to roam about the rest of the universe?

Cyberpunk Urban Fantasy it is then, where the characters can go to the afterlife. Any additions/obligations?

It sounds like a workable premise to me.

Agreed. And for some reason someone is trying to prevent anyone from going to the afterlife.

Okay, now it's time to think of the main characters. Maybe in a Five-Man Band.

If we're going to have a villain protagonist, I'd prefer him to be somewhat sympathetic. That, or have a hero waiting in the wings. Perhaps we could have different factions who the story centers around?

chihuahua0 Since: Jul, 2010
#22: Sep 22nd 2010 at 2:28:49 PM

Should we have factions by race?

I mean troll trolls. If we're going with cyberpunk, gangster trolls. With tusks. And machine guns.

I want kobolds, dark elves, dwarves, trolls, faries, and humans.
