Yes, I am finally participating, and I am reaaaly nervous about this. The plot is one I've started working on since 9th grade (about 7 years ago) and I originally intended to make a comic book about it. (Maybe I'll have a few drawn pages too, idk). It's mostly character interaction with internal conflicts sprinkled on top and I think I'd have more to say about them if it's in written format. (I love character interactions. So much.)
Not sure if I'll keep the original title, but I intended to call it Sinners (might be a bit too heavy?). It's a young adult novel with supernatural elements, mostly centered around a young girl who meets different people who have a diverse range of supernatural abilities. She meets other two main characters and slowly learns about their own links to that underworld and how it affects them both. One's character's main theme is about the power of thought, words and emotion, about fear (fear of losing control, fear of yourself, fear of losing yourself, fear of making mistakes etc.), anxiety and self-confidence issues; while the other is about self-denial, deliberately unseeing and unwilling to take any serious action, wanting to be free and about blind faith. Basically, while the former has trouble making decisions, the latter doesn't want to make any at all.
And they both end up being pushed more and more out of their comfort zone and push their boundaries. The girl as well, is confronted with her own issues at the same time; she basically witnesses this whole clash between humanity, morality and personality.
It's a lot about guilt, trying to accept oneself and one's faults, the inevitability of change and trying to cope while keeping true to yourself. It also has a few macabre elements, since death is an important element in the plot.
Now that I wrote this, it sounds so heavy. This story pretty much evolved into this due to my own years of living with depression... But I really hope I can show some lighter elements in between. :/
