Choose Your Destiny...

Alright, blog fans! Today's post is going to be quite short, and here's why: I decided that it'd be cool to write a short story of some sort, but I can't decide on the genre. I'm going to list a few of the ideas I have in mind. What I need you to do is to vote on which one you want to read most.

Pick Your Story:
  1. Mystery: This will be heavily influenced by Sir Arhtur Conan Doyle's work. It will probably be nowhere near as epic as the Sherlock Holmes stories, but I'll give it my best.
  2. Fantasy: I'm not sure how I would do this one. I'm not sure whether to create my own creatures or to draw from other works (meaning, use the typical fantasy creatures: dwarves, dragons, elves, fairies, etc.).
  3. Historical Fiction: I love history. Protagonists for this short story will likely be selected from the Renaissance or earlier (Rome, Greece, Vikings, etc.).
  4. Romance: I've never written a romance, and I don't really think I could write one that is convincing and not extremely sappy. But I'm willing to give it a go and be subject to criticism.
  5. Zombie Apocalypse: The whole point of a zombie apocalypse is to stay alive. The best way I could think of making this worth your while is by making it a "choose your own adventure" kind of story. This would take considerably more work on my part, by I believe it could be fun.
And there you have it! To vote, just post a comment in the comment section below, stating which genre you would like me to write. If you know my phone number, a text message is acceptable too.

  2. I'd say fantasy, though not along the lines of dragons, alchemists, and what not. I'd say, an EPIC fantasy, like the one I attempted years back but never finished.

  4. Fantasy but not one of those lame ones where on the back of the book it says "blah was a normal person till one day blah blah blah blahed but blah never knew that this would change his/her life forever/"

  5. Historical Fiction. But YOU have to be in the story somehow. I just really want to read about you and Vikings is all.
