Here is the working title. It will be changed as the story fleshes out, and tells me what it wants to be called. If you have heard this one before, I'll need a new one for sure.
Creators of Man
Part One
Eternal Prisoners of Forgotten Moon
Copyrighted 2008 by Spankbelly, under penalty of "Yes, The Spanking King will come to your house and lay The MOTHER of ALL SPANK'NS. Seriously."
It will be a series of short stories. Designed to keep me interested. Because I never finish anything if it's too long. Each tale will host different characters and locations of a world that is not Earth. These shorts may just be mundane happenings in the average boring life of the people of this world. But they will all happen at the same point in history, slowly revealing the nature of the world, and the view of life from different eyes.
Ultimately as a whole, the shorts will question who created man (or the people of that world), and if they have free choice or a defined destiny.
Something I have wondered all my life. What if I don't want to be what I was designed for? Or, what if God does create certain people as "cogs in the machine"?
That's the plan, anyway. I can see it going off the rails quick.
Eternal Prisoners will not be part one of the finished product. But I need to work it out first. Because it will contain some of the science and reasons of how the world functions. This is a blend of Sci-Fi/Fantasy. I need to know the basic limits of the science before I write the fantasy. Because in the end, the fantasy is not fantasy. Eternal Prisoners may not even be part of the final draft. I just need it for a base. So I'm not too concerned with character development or if it makes any sense. I just need the stage for the rest of the play.
I'm not sure if I can pull it off. It will be a complex story line. And I want to make each short as different as possible. One might be science fiction, one fantasy, one comedy, one horror. My skill set is not that wide. Especially comedy.
Each told by the "voice" or tone of that character. This is very hard to do.
You know how every writer has their own style. Their way of using words. You can recognize who wrote something, because you know their voice. This is very noticeable when two writers have collaborated on one book. You can tell who wrote which scene.
I want each story to feel as if it was written by that character. I'm not sure if I can do that. I have only seen it done once, successfully.
Hyperion, By Dan Simmons (1989)
Spankbelly is no Dan Simmons.
Don't get excited. Because I never finish anything. That's why I stack boxes of meat for a living. This is just an exercise for me. I have not written anything serious in...ever.
And if I do put anything up here, it's a first draft. Don't expect quality.
And it's an adult storyline. So not much will be suitable under these posting rules. And you know, I'm not going to stick a whole novel on here.
