I am finally starting to seriously work on a story idea that has been in my head for a long time. At this point, I don't have a lot of the details worked out yet, and it is possible that a lot of this will change, but I will give you the basic idea.
Constructive criticism and suggestions would be very appreciated!
The story is science fiction/fantasy, and looks like it will nicely divide into three parts. (These might eventually become a trilogy, or a single book, depending on length)
My two protagonists are Aura and Ceron, who each live in a different parallel universe.
I haven't worked too much with character development yet, but Aura is a generally optimistic person, who is pretty outgoing and open to new experiences. She also feels that she is somehow different form other people, and sometimes feels isolated, but she usually keeps this to herself. Ceron is much quieter and usually keeps to himself. He lives with his mother, who has to work long hours to support the two of them. He is often bullied at school, and is extremely responsible for his age.
The main antagonist is Ember, who is from the same world as Ceron. She has a huge thirst for power, which is caused by her life as a child. She has some sort of magical power (I haven’t worked this out much yet) She has a lot of influence over many different countries in many different worlds, but desires complete control. I think she also really wants to be looked up to and appreciated, which is also a result of her childhood. She is extremely intelligent.
So, about the plot…
Ember is increasing her power in many different universes. Aura is led by a special book (something else I still need to work on) to a parallel universe, accidentally picking up Ceron along the way. They learn that they need to find a powerful spyglass, which they hope will help them to eventually stop Ember. Many different groups are constantly trying to influence them along the way, and they can never be sure exactly who their friends are.
Depending on how things work out, they might also have to stop the traveling between universes, but I haven’t thought much about that yet.
There is a lot more to it, at this point that is all vaguely floating around my head, and doesn’t really make much sense.
I would love to hear what you guys think! I know I haven’t given a lot of details, but there are some things that I don’t completely understand yet, and I will have trouble putting them into words.
Edit: Please read my most recent post on page two, which gives more info.
Thanks!
