As the title says, that’s what I’m doing. However, I’m considering taking the short story, and using it for the FediWriMo this year, or if I should do a continuation of the series I started with what I wrote in the first FediWriMo. I’m 800 words into the short story at the moment, taking a break for the night to see what I want to do.
Considering that I may go ahead and do something that would be completely appropriate for YouTube (because Foxing Society isn’t), I am getting this idea written down while I still have that idea. I think I was called for creative writing, though I could do something dark and disturbing (like what Foxing Society is), and something lighthearted and wholesome. The short story, which could turn to a full light novel I think (I might go that route, if there’s a NaNoWriMo for lights), is the latter. That’s my plan, at the very least.
I know my producer, Sendo, had done something lighthearted, initially, but by the second light of a series he was working on, it turned dark real quick. Apparently, we like a lot of dark writing techniques, considering that we had some dark and disturbing parts of our childhoods. That’s just how we write, though.
I’ve generally been more in the Lit. Fiction category with most of my writing. In this case, however, the subject dictates a futuristic setting, so I guess that means it is Sci-Fi, but not in the sense of Star Wars / Star Trek. I think it’s more Noir / Cyber Punk style.
And the setting is actually quite important to this story. It is, in a respect, almost its own character.
