Yes, yes, it's another one of those "Please tell me what you think of my plot idea" threads. To be honest, I whole heartedly approve of them, but sometimes they get annoying. So here's the deal, I really want and honest opinion about my idea, so if you have a problem with these threads, leave, because I don't want to hear about it.

So anyway, my newest story is a fairy tale. It's about a boy named Mag who lives in a little twon called Everyday and according to him it is 'the worlds rocky cove of boredom.' He thinks that absolutely everything that happens in Everyday is incredibly boring and mundane. The only thing that helps him get through are the stories that his grandmother writes him in letters from Boston. Meanwhile, his best friend Henry (a girl, by the way) tried to convince him that life is what you make of it and that the only reason his life is so boring is because he makes it that way.

One day, while taking a shortcut home through the woods, Mag stumbles, in a litteral term, upon a fairy. Not just any fairy, but one of the fairies from his grandmother's stories. She's the Tomorrow-Not fairy, the fairy who make unusual things happen. Tomorrow-Not it the cause of all things extraordinary, like crop circles, miracles and freak accidents. But Tomo is in trouble. Normally humans can't see her, but for some reason, the people of Everyday can. Tomo is being chased by the Everyday fairy (not named for the town) The EVeryday Fairy keeps the world in balance by making normal things happen. She get's mad at Tomo for trying to disrupt the balance, and Tomo's idea of revenge is to cause as much mischief as possible. That leaves Mag and Henry caught in the middle, trying to keep Tomo from causing trouble and Everyday from slaughtering Tomo.

Yeah, so that's all I got for now. If I've left anything out that you want to know about, just say so. See ya all later.

Sounds good so far, though it's only a little summary, obviously. I'd like to read more of the idea/story when there is some more done.. ^_^

SO CUTE

I love the concept, I love the character names, I love the place names. And I have nothing wrong with this, only that you haven't written it so I can have a peek at the story.

On a serious note... I think the place names work because fairy tales seem to have that kind of simpleness about them. I just love the name Mag (reminds me, for some strange reason of chaos in Sonic!) and the fact the girl has a boys name, I feel gives the story that fantasy, not-of-this-world feel.

I guess all I can say is to be careful that you do not make it cliched, it can have a happy ending but as long as it's entertaining, of which it sounds, I can see a good result come from this.

I honestly think that's a good idea. When you have it written, post it so we can read it because it surely seems that we all want to.

This is a really interesting concept. I love the fact that the town is called Everyday and the fairy, Tomorrow-Not. I agree with...well someone that said that the simplicity of the names works well as most fairy tales have that simplicity to them. The only thing that I would consider would be changing the fairy's name from Everyday to something that could convey the same meaning, but isn't the same name as the town. It gets just slightly confusing reading about a town and a fairy named the same thing but having to connection. I was trying to think of something that could represent normalcy...everyday occurances, but I can't think of anything at the moment *ponders* Hm...the only thing I ended up with was ordinary...and that just sounds wierd because 1) it rhymes with fairy and 2) it's just not interesting. So, that's the only thing I'd change. biggrin You have a really good start to a story on your hands.
