Thread: Which idea seems more interesting to you.

One i dea i came up with recently, though the latter was pulled from a very poorly written prologue i wrote when i was about 13.

Ancient warrior with powerful abilities learns of his origins while combating a shadowy murderer.
Son of Satan, descendant of saints fights the feuding forces within him.

They both have the ability to be great stories, I'd be much more interested in reading the one about the ancient warrior though.

btw the blurbs make my own sound weak in comparison (small town hairdresser tries to break into high society) blah

They're really too generic as they are. Both could be equally interesting, but without more description it's pointless for me to pick.

tell me the last book you read in which an Goth with reality bending powers fought a murderous man who could kill immortal beings?
Or when the son of satan and descendant of of apostles, popes, and holy warriors fought the demonic forces that entice him to become a demonic lord?


no, really please do tell me, because if there's something like that out somewhere i'm about to freak, lol.

I like the first best, but either could be good if executed well.

i have the most overactive and messed up imagination that i can think of. I could break out at least five or more blurbs...hehe

ite, ancient warrior it is.

Satan himself started out as an angel. It could be the same sort of inner struggle faced by Lucifer. It could be deeply philospohical, while I see the ancient warrior plot as being just a fantasy tale.

I agree, number two sounds far more interesting to me. Also, there is a lot more versatility available to you, the writer. There's no mold you're expected to fit, no expectations to meet. Just an idea to plot out.

I'd like to see you have an imagination that you couldn't think of . . . that would be impressive.

i basically typed this scene in the last five minutes.
Lucian fell to the ground in pain. Voices of angels and of demons crowded the confines of his mind. They beckoned him, called him. Pain flared through his body, consuming him. He yelled in pain, over and over, continuously haunted by the voices. “Why,” he said in a vain attempt to speak to them, “why are you doing this to me…” His left arm grew black scales, inciting pain and blood as they dug their way out onto his flesh. Claws grew, and a pentagram seemed to singe itself into his flesh. His other arm became consumed in pain as a silver metal forced of his skin, replacing it, and upon it was emblazoned a cross. His pain grew, and then numbed. When his ordeal was over, he looked at his arms. He looked at the product of his soul etched into his very limbs. Suddenly, he coughed, and blood came forth.

tell me what you think of this. Also, i'm at a crossroads when deicding the general age of my character. I could create on in the early 20s or one of a mature adult. Could someone tell me which one they think is better?
