My synopsis, eh?

Sisera (the character, not me :p) is a young king of the largest nation in the world after a peasant riot left his parents dead. Of course, being sixteen, he used the position more for its benefits in womanizing, gluttony, and other vices, neglecting to actually, you know, run the country. So the Church of the Four (think the Medieval Catholic Church...the "pope" has more power than all the other world leaders) kicks him out of office and into exile. While in exile, he joins other leaders who stand to lose from his country's new management and wages a war to take back his throne, while learning not to be a womanizing, gluttonous, selfish ass along the way. Then the warring continent will probably be blindsided by a race of "elves" from another land, if I can find some way to work it in without it seeming like a total ass-pull.

3000 years prior to the events of the story, magic all but dissapeared in the world. Now that the dust is settled and there are two major empires and new boundaries made people start wondering what happened. The main character (Aris) will ultimately usher in a new world with magic but at the cost of learning why magic ceased in the first place.

Been working on that damn thing for years now, one day I'll finish it.

This is long!:

A cult of ritualistic, parasitic, gas-like aliens are hosting dead bodies in order to survive Earth's atmosphere. They follow their alien religion without question, proposing that all sinners must die, but their religion forbids them to kill, so because of this paradox, they begin developing their own evolution so that they may kill without actually killing (possessing people and causng an effect on human minds which makes them hallucinate and effectively get killed by creatures they cannot see.) And as such, they can live in human bodies and be cheery.

Although no-one knows of this plan until the end, a group of people (A.C.R.O.N.Y.M) tries to stop them, beause to speed up their evolution and weaponary, they use Elder technology, which rips out bits of the universe, causing extreme unbalance (ghosts appearing, random jumps of time, parrallel worlds colliding etc.)

When ACRONYM gets destroyed, the sole survivor rallies a bunch of random people to reform ACRONYM and go on a gay adventure to get to another group that may help them (GRANMA - ANAGRAM).

As it turns out, GRANMA is actually a trap to catch anyone who is still aware of The Family of God (alien cult people) and kill em. It also turns out that our protagonist is actually a villain, despite the fact that it was so blatantly Lazarus (but isn't =D).

Miles turned because of the ever-lasting ticking inside his head. He could only get rid of it by allowing the world to get murdered, thus ending the time-bomb like noise in his head (tick, tick, tick - approaching doom - once the doom happens, huzzah, the ticking ends!)

It ends on a cliffhanger, where the next story moves to most of the group going one thousand years back into the past to stop the plague sisters (cult creationists) to stop FOG ever forming (a place where rival cannibal and vampire gangs are at war simply because the cannibals like their humans roasted and vampires like their humans raw), and ten years into the future of the end of the world to a post-apocalyptic place where you must hide in the darkness teeming with psychos and creatures because of your own murderous shadow (stay out of the light). So far I'm thinking about calling it, 'Watch Your Shadow'



There. Bit of a messy synopsis, but - meh =D

School of Lords: James Mourning is your typical 13 year old boy. He likes sports, girls, and using his psychic powers to engage in elabourate plots to take control of the criminal underworld. Wait a minute...

But now everythings changed. James has been sent to the Kings School for Underachieving Overachievers. He thinks he's found a treasure chest of knowledge; but he quickly discovers that the teachers have a different plan for the students, one in which the lives of James and his friends can easily be thrown away...

A Chessmasters' Game: The world was broken. The magic seeped away, the mages council was destroyed, and the rule of the land was in the hands of men who had no need for honour, law or dignity.

But now the magic returns, and with it, an enemy that hasn't been seen for over ten thousand years...

Phoenix World (working title)

In the year 2012, a doomsday asteroid strikes the earth causing catastrophic results, pushing the human race to the brink of extinction. A mysterious alien race called the Unirans, that had taken a liking to humans and had been observing them for thousands of years, decides to save as many survivors as they could. After which they help the humans to rebuild their civilization with the addition of their technology. In this new human civilization, the position of world leader was established to represent Earth to other worlds; some of which were introduced by the Unirans. About 200 years later, an assassination is attempted on the world leader Eric Phoenix and his young son Niiro Phoenix. Niiro's father is killed, but Niiro barely survives and is critically injured and the assassin escapes. To save Niiro's life, the Unirans implant a computer chip into Niiro's brain. The chip was created by the Unirans to regulate their entire planet. It was the most advance piece of technology they had ever created. The chip was lost to them during a conflict with a waring race sometime before the doomsday asteroid struck Earth. The chip somehow mysteriously returned to them but drastically changed and altered. The Unirans barely knew anything about the chip as its inner workings were far more advanced and complex than even their own technology. The chip bonds with Niiro's mind and evolves giving him extraordinary abilities. Among the Unirans are a ruling party of seven Unirans that oversee the entire Uniran race. Among the seven rulers of Unirad is a secret triumvirate called the Dark Sect who believe that Unirans should not live alongside humans beings but instead rule and enslave them for tests, experiments, and labor. With the triumvirate getting ready to overthrow the other four rulers and enslave the human race and the mysterious assassin still loose, it is up to Niiro and three other unique individuals to save all of humanity.

Ellia, Vamperess

Ellia has been sucked into the world of the Russian Vampire. When she is turned, she is left to fight with her new desires and futile attempts to hang on to her shreds of humanity. She must also deal with the consequences of the vampire who loves her, and spurns his wife. Life is turned upside-down for a second time when humans learn of vampires.

If you guys can pull together and turn this into a post-apocalyptic sextuplicated collaboration about a race of magical gaseous vampire alien child kings I'll be really impressed.

It would make a great parody. No lie there...

Now that would be one hell of a story.

A man is taken up to Heaven during the Rapture. His wife never chose Christianity so she stays behind. He enjoys Heaven and peace on earth for a time but soon starts to miss his love and starts to regret his choice. His actions and reactions start to affect the new world and he's given one last chance to see her.

That's abut all I have so far and some things might be changed.

Hm.... Sesera, that actually sounds pretty good. I'd read that.

Wow, Sisera, that actually sounds pretty good. I'd read that. But, you know, it could do without the whole "race of elves" thing. Unless it's really, really relevant to the story.

Goddess's Tears
Gail Storms is a normal 17-year-old until she accidently falls into a different dimension populated by elves, nymphs, shapeshifters, vampires and the last unicorn. But this deminsion is in danger, and Gail must adapt to her bizarre surrounds quickly if she is to help - and survive...
(sort of a cliche idea, I know, but I hope I can pull it off.)

Mercenary War Trilogy: Flawbayne, Falkard, and Tharos
Set in a distant future where space mercenaries - killers for hire - roam the stars in clans of three to ten, Flawbayne tells the story of a mercenary's son, Flawbayne. Flawbayne's father is killed in a conflict with a man named Jamen's mercenary team. He becomes bitter and hunts down Jamen, dropping him on a planet of slave-miners.

Falkard tells the story of a young orphan named Falkard who fights Old Earth's mean streets with his friend Josu. One day they are picked up by a mercenary band...one led by Jamen.

In Tharos, their stories merge fully...

(This series is hard to explain, sorry if this is a terrible synopsis.)
