Book Outline for my novel.

[Tsukiyumi]

...somewhat like Zelazny.

Isn't that the Princes of Amber series? I think I have one of those around here somewhere.

[Mikey]

Yep. Not the best writing in the world, but the partial setting of "sword-and-dorcery" fantasy in the modern world made it interesting at times.

Just out of curiosity, why demons? And what kind? Are we talking the fallen angels of biblical myth, or the fugly looking ones we tend to associate with the fantasy genre. And what age is it taking place in? The "past", present, or future?

Well, there is mention of one biblical demon (polytheistic), Adramelech, who is supposedly one of the guards of a gate of hell, or something around those lines. Then there are also his, being Adramelech, offspring who are half demon/human form. Since demons aren't exactly the relationship kind've guys they rape for breeding, so the mother was human. Then, there are the fugly looking ones who are the offbreeds, the ones born with lesser power then the direct offspring of Adramelech. In the story it is centered around one main demon, not the whole lot of them that do exist. I have thought of changing Adramelech's name due to the fact that it is an already existing demon to some mythological belief, but I haven't decided 100% yet. And lastly I chose demons because they're cool looking, and thought they would be interesting to write about.

The time is present for them, it is a fantasy so it really doesn't have any time effect on us imo, but other's could say differently.

Jess what kind of writing style you going to use? I think it'd be really powerful if you wrote like it was an epic poem of yesteryear.

I'm writing it contemporary/modern style. I cannot write Old English to save my life, lol, Canterbury Tales scarred me for life for that kind've writing.

[Reliant121]

I can pull off Catherine Cookson impressions so i am told.

Not sure whether that is a compliment to be honest.

[Deepcrush]

Could be worse you know. They could tell you that you're a good impression of Karen Traviss.

[Mikey]

OMG! We'd never say anything that terribly vile to her.

[Deepcrush]

I was talking to Reliant...

[Mikey]

Ummm... OK... to him, then.

[Deepcrush]

Its just a joke Mikey...

[Lt. Staplic]

Sound a lot like Greek Mythology.

The sons imprisioning their father is kind of like the impresionment of the Titans by the first six gods.

Or the story of Helana and Troy, with the Emporors daughter and the Demond.

Still good, most good series draw on history and ancient mythology
(Star Wars is a major one.)

[Reliant121]

Or Stargate...although they actually try to explain and produce a reason for it.

[Lt. Staplic]

yep.

like the all powerful egyption God Ra in the first movie.

[Monroe]

yep.

like the all powerful egyption God Ra in the first movie.

I totally thought that dude was a chick at first.

[Mikey]

I thought the broadcast got mixed up with The Crying Game.
