So, last year I skipped National Novel Writing Month because a lot of shit was piling down on me at the time. This year I think I might give it another shot.
I have a few ideas for what to write, though I'm not sure which to choose.
1. Two space-faring species are at war, one uses biotechnology for almost everything, the other conventional drytech. One soldier from each side ends up stranded on the same planet. You probably know what happens next.
2. I got this idea from the 2nd Edition Exalted rulebooks. A post-apocalyptic setting where the human race was wiped out by a bioengineered plague. AIs attempt to create replacement organic sophonts by uplifting several animal species, for control reasons they set them up in a pseudo-medieval society with themselves as the gods. Using augmented champions to advance their agendas. I think it would work better as a webcomic if I could draw.
3. A "non-fiction" book detailing completely materialistic explanations for "psychic" phenomena. Telepathy by reading body language, precognition by subconscious pattern recognition, etc.
4. A newly turned vampire gradually becomes a merciless killer. With some rather detailed explanations for the biology, in particular how it works in a furry universe.

These all sound like excellent ideas. I supposed I'm most drawn to #1 for recreational reading, though I see definite potential with #3 too.

OP
To be honest, I kind of think #1 is too cliche.

Then that makes it a challenge to not handle it in a cliched way.
