i am taking a novel writing class and need some helpful hints on my story ideas. and once i start writing it (i cant start till noveber) i will post and you can tell me what you think. so at the moment I have three story ideas and i need to decide which one I want to write. problem is i love all of them. so if you could help it would be nice.
story idea #1 a girl named Karsmen lives on a foating island called Tera' uhn. like the rest of her race she has be taught how to fight. at the moment she is the strongest female and can beat most of the boys. she ends ups falling off tera' uhn and lands in modern day life. she is taken in by Jessica who is a falling medical student. they have a clash of culture but become friends. while this is happening Karsmen's mother Azera jumps down with a boy named Ren, and begin searching for her. although Ren dosn't know it yet. he is in love with Karsmen (he dosn't know what to call his feelings) they begin trying to find Karsmen and Ren find himself along the way. the evil Alizar came down from tera' uhn some time ago. (he wasn't good enough up there so he came down to make an empire) and has become a successful bussiness man. when Karsmen fall he desides to use her to expain his empire. when she refuses he desides that she must be eliminated. it is up to Jessica to keep Karsmen safe. when Azera left Tera' uhn she left the half dragon/half human delmos in charge (Azera is part of the ruling houses) will he be able to keep the ruling houses in order before Azera cames back. will Ren and Azera be able to find Karsmen, and will Jessica find it in herself to save Karsmen. or will they all fall. idea #2 Katie is a normal girl. until she meets Ken. he means the world to her, but he is a vampire that is trying to kill her. Kayta(is a girl) is a ferurn (another type of vampire) who is hunting ken.after Kayta kills Ken katie then learns that there has been a war going on between the vampries and the Ferurns for ages. she learns that unlike vampires Kayta is alive and need to eat normal food as well as blood. she people repoduce like humans and can turn into anly animal they bite. she also learns that the war is heavly tiped in favor of the Vampries. and for some reason they seemed to be after her. katie also learns that she is a seer. she see the world difforent then even the vampires. all seerers have two other abillitys other then their sight (the abillity to solve any problem, read coded text, see invisablethigs, ect). hers are furture sight and can walk though walls. together with kayta she fights to keep her life and find out the truth about the war between vampire and the ferurn.
idea #3 Kadja is a Darken, a race of people with animal like ears and tails. the take care of the earth. longago when humans where begining to expand they tare up the earth. this started a war between human and the Darkens.( who have taken it apon them selves to protect the earth) in modern day the war is forrgottten by most humans. but the darkens still harber a deep hatered to humans. Kadja(who is the youngest prince) is off in is favorite spot when he finds a human sleeping next to a tree. Darkens have a gift of knowing their true love once they see them. so one look and he fell in love with her. at first he tries to forget her but after a year he desides that he can't and starts to think of a way to meet her.( by the way members of the royal familycan read eachothers minds)reita is an normal girl who just graduated from high school. she has never had a boy friend but is looking for one. although she enjoy nature she would rather stay in doors and watch tv.but after she learns about him she too falls in love. she keeps him a secrtet from the human and he keeps he a secret from the darkens. they begin a difficult relationship as they try to get past their difforentces and keep the love a secret.

 Now, you may think I'm a rude b***h after my post, but since you decided to take the artist's path, you're going to have to learn to take criticism, alright?
Alright, so my first notice is the bad grammar. I know, you're just asking for help with picking a plot, but to write something, you must first know how to write correctly. I don't know if this is just the way you type on the internet, if you were in a rush, or any other reason. But I had problems understanding you in some points. As a wanabee/future writer, you should work on proper grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Next. The plots aren't all that original. The second one actually sounded like another version of "Twilight", which I hate to begin with. And the third one, is a really over-used topic of forbidden love. So I'm going to have to say that I like the first one best, and even that story sounds like it should be worked on.

ok it is good that you are giving me info about what you think. i can't tell you how much i like it when people tell me what needs to be worked on.
i was kinda in a rush but i am dyslexic (not to make exuses) so yea it is hard to write some times. so i know there is going to be a lot of revision.
as for the storie ideas i kinda knew my vampire story would be seen as a twlight run off but it was a story i started way back in middle school. and it is not a love story at all (in fact ken dies i early on) and truth be told all these storys are in there begining stages. and the one with the most develoment is the one you chose. so thank you for your criticism

They're all pretty common plots.
The first one reminds me of several movies I use to watch as a kid. Always about the character from the other world being taken into a modern time family and trying to find ways of returning.
The second one is pretty standard for most vampire novel plots. Seems a little sugar coated so I think that's why some people might think it reminds them of Twilight.
The third one is pretty standard as well. Nekos against humans. With a Romeo and Juliet setting.
I'd say all in all, I like the third one. Only because I'm a fan of that story.

I bet I can guess you're doing NANOWRIMO since you can't start until November.
xD
Me too. After asking some really silly questions on their forum, I feel like I'm ready to take on my Viking-era historical fiction! Yeah!!

Out of those three,I'd have to pick the third,because two reminds me too much of Twilight and I hate Twilight with firey passion that could burn the world alive.
I did like the idea of the first one,but too many plot holes. If theirs is a warrior culture why would the fallen be a buisness man and not like, a weapons expert. Why would they just search for her instead of taking the place by force and if the fallen is the weakest and most unworthy,how is he even a threat to them? Too many holes in the plot,but it started off good.
Third is decent,you have established a base,though it starts like the plot of Hellboy II the golden army. With the romeo & julliette plot mixed in,sorta like how Abe fell in love with the princess in Hellboy II

to answer some of your questions with the frist one. the fallen is slowly taking the world over. he is smart but very weak. he is hoping to buy the world over. he also has a small army working for him. (he's kinda like a mob boss) and to Karsmen he is fairly strong becouse she is very young but comparied to an adult he would be no problem.
but i did really like the thrid one. i think it has more info then the other,
yea i think my vampire story is going to have to wait til twilight dies down.
thanks for you imput

Blah, Vampires are overrated and due to recent means of entertainment, I wouldn't be surprise if it does end up being a flooded market. Especially for NANOWRIMO.
My suggestion is try to stay away from anything involving them or forbidden love since almost everything involving those two topics has been done.

Your grammer and spelling suck, so does your punctuation...
The way i see it is the first one just really really sucks and makes no sence
Number two is twilight with a few new creatures... and lose the name of the seer, seers are people who see the future, not walk thru walls or see invisable things or even coded messages... They might be able to look into the future to learn about the code but that would only work if she had solved the code in the future, which would be impossible...
Number 3, you take the neko and re-name it... I know you also have other animal ears and such but it's just getting really old... also you take the forbidden/hidden love storyline, which is over used as it is
I personally feel that you don't have what it takes to be a write at the present time, work on it... i still don't think you'll make it but what the heck may as well try right?
