Heaven or Hell...

OOC: Hmm, this is no more than a doodle, really. Think of it as the blurb on the back of the book - except, there isn't a book. But I thought it'd be nice to write, maybe, one day. The problem...is that, I can't. Writer's block, of a sort. It takes like, 5 minutes to write a sentance I am happy with, right now. So....this is as far as I got, this time. But I like the introduction...Don't take it too seriously, though

Heaven and Hell have been mortal enemies (literally) since time immemorial. But the days of open war are long gone. They are civilized now - civilized here means ‘secretly nasty to each other’.

Section Thirteen, Clause Seven of the Heaven-Hell Second Bilateral Treaty stipulates an exchange of angels once every thousand years. Those yearning for redemption can fly to Heaven, and those slipping from grace will go to Hell in a handbasket. This practice has been going on for millennia, and is crucial to the ‘good relations’ between Heaven and Hell.

But something goes wrong as two angels crash into the middle ground (where we live). Colour-blind thirteen year old Cassandra Dean is swept up in the chaos, and an adventure of divine proportions begins…

this is good. I think this could be developed into a novella or even a novel. Good start.

Neat idea. Are you planning on making this a serious work or more of a satire? From this blurb, it seems like you were going for the humor aspect, which I thought you did very well.

I like the idea. Good luck with it.

I'd recommend turning it into a satrical, dystopic novella.
