I call it "The Clockshifter". My characters live in a city that is a very large skyscraper. Each year, the government choses The Clockshifter to go back in time and change history to promote the government. I like to describe it as "The Missing Series meets The Gollywhopper Games". I came up with something to go with it, "The Future is a lie. The Past is twisted. What is Truth?"<br /><br />www.elvishpensfantasticalwritings.blogspot.comAlea Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05407817853111498327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-86252140148686952242014-06-03T16:56:37.766-05:002014-06-03T16:56:37.766-05:00That sounds very fascinating!That sounds very fascinating!Alea Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05407817853111498327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-88742615537013577012014-06-03T16:46:06.199-05:002014-06-03T16:46:06.199-05:00Charlie's Angels meets Harry Potter is a super...Charlie's Angels meets Harry Potter is a super fun concept.

And believe me, that's quick. So every last one has been retired. Except for the one I'm working on now. Usually by the time I get to writing Chapter 5, the feeling of excitement has begun to teeter. But this time it's just grown! I think it's because I'm finally writing the story I was meant to write. Unlike my other stories, I'm excited to finish chapters just to get others and I love ever chapter of it. I don't have any filler chapters that just bore me because nothing happen. Something new and funny always happens in each chapter and my characters are a crazy bunch of misfits to say the least.<br />The plot of this story is kind of complicated yet not at the same time. My FMC is just a regular teenage girl until my MMC (who carefree attitude annoys her) stops stalking her (long story) and tells her she's a witch and is a member of a trio of magical girls who must protect the magical world. The other girls in the trio are a werewolf girl with a nose ring and Avril Lavigne style and a water nymph who dresses like a hippie and likes cheerleading. It's nothing like I've ever read yet still has something to it that could appeal to readers of YA fantasy. I've even come to describe it as "Charlie's Angels meets Harry Potter".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881323297366779812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-80264445295205847772014-06-03T14:24:17.243-05:002014-06-03T14:24:17.243-05:00Thanks to all of you! :)

My MC is very intelligent and the government puts her in charge of her household, meaning she is in charge of her parents and has to make money for the family to survive. Aliens have recently landed on Earth but they live in separate areas from humans. The government forces my MC to house an alien for three months as part of a program to integrate them into the human's daily lives. Her Dad is in jail and she is supporting her Mom and three younger siblings.<br /><br />I have like 22 stories started on my computer but I'm not sure any of them are truly unique. I was never a part of the Vampire phase and I've never written Dystopian either so I hope that sets my work apart, for now at least :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316328217006467698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-8692356091917552162014-06-03T12:03:29.160-05:002014-06-03T12:03:29.160-05:00That sounds awesome!
