Joe (Singapore-Irish) asks Jasmine (Irish-Malaysian) to go to his cousin's wedding in Kelantan. The wedding is the bash from heaven or hell, depending on whether the guest is on the bride's side or the groom's side. Meanwhile, old grudges and an unsolved murder make frequent trips to the bathroom a must. |

Mina Teller is a Metropole cop who's in way over her head.
In the past twenty-four hours, she's racked up a bodydeath count in the double digits, hired the services of metaller and dataminer Cortana Rain whom she's not even sure is entirely legitimate, and now she's heading into a mare's nest of an investigation involving the executive committee of the First Progenitor Assembly of the prophet Teilhard de Chardin.
And the next twenty-four hours are going to make yesterday look like the last halcyon days of summer.

I don't know.
But I'm vaguely sure it's either sci-fi or fantasy.
Or something.

I walk past a roadside stall. I notice blazing bananas. I eat said blazing bananas.
No seriously, I have no idea.

Girl meets strange boy and felt immediate connection so she asks him out on a date. They fall in love and have many, many intimate moments. They save zoo animals and save the day.

This is the world of agents (no, not angels), created by His Holiness The One And Almighty to run the world while He scoots off on constant holiday, a world of extreme light (hence the sunglasses) and where everything is in various shades of white.
Being five inches taller than the average angel, sorry, agent, nothing fits Sieg, C.P.E.I. (Creator of Pawns, Enslaver of Ideals) as well as the too-large purgatory robes woven, sorry, spontaneously created, in the darkest shade of off-white that exists.
The problem is, he’s much too nice for purgatory, and heaven ain’t got place for an agent whose sneakers can be seen.

No idea, actually.
But the starting kind of goes like this : Random Girl. Main Character. Former slams on Latter's desk.
Yeah, that's it.

H.E.A.ish
(a.k.a. Happily Ever After.ish)
It's a cross between a romcom and fantasy. The female protagonist's idea of Happily Ever After is growing old by herself with 3 cats. Fate and Murphy (from Murphy's Law) decide to intervene.

That's a pretty good ending sentence for a book blurb!

i know sounds like a Disney movie but i swear (actually i don't swear - quit that) anyhow, it is NOT from a Disney movie - inspiration is from a song i like about Tyler the dog ;)

Gallery Curator helps the Justice Department crack a serial of murders.
Mafia Heiress fights rival Ringleader after he frames her godbrother.
Both of them are the same person, but neither side wants her.
There you go. HAHA. That's probably the best I can think of atm.

12 barbers in a barber shop faces competition from hair salons that offer cheaper and faster hair services.
They strive to keep the business profitable, amidst climbing rental, and at the same time coping with their individual lives as Singaporeans.
I realise this is the first time I'm writing something so down to earth. (Maybe I'm starting to grow up)

Three knights are riding down a hill. I don't know what they're doing there and I don't care. But I hope one of them breaks a leg.
That's all I can think of! I want to write something cyberpunk-ish but I guess I'll have to settle for magepunk (or whatever)

I once referred to it as "dracopunk". I quite like the sound of it, still.

Fantasy meets steampunk meets alternate dimensions in an arena located at the crossroads of multiple universes.
We will explore the lives of several different personalities in said arena, on how they cope with life as a gladiator, and how they grow beyond their own expectations.
It would be Lost meets Gladiator meets Sliders meets Babylon 5 and probably a tinge of Warehouse 13.

November has started, so that means I can tell everyone what my story is about! (It's a long story, but this is my one writing superstition; I never tell anyone what my novel is about before November.)
Informata: the place between Real Life and pure Information, where humans and other entities can affect how Information is perceived in Real Life. Belief is power, and there are those who want to change the Facts - but also those who serve to protect it, resulting in a constant struggle for power. But now there is someone who could tip the balance either way... and she doesn't even know it.

A small kingdom that has finally defeated the evil wizard turns its brave heroes ageless and begins to conquer surrounding territories.
One warlock in training is sent by her kingdom on a clearly suicidal mission to assassinate said ageless heroes is captured and then forced to become their only source of amusement.
The chains that connect her presence to their existence becomes clearer as the lies of the past are unravelled and the happy ending that follows a norm RPG is deconstructed.

The elves invade and conquer a human kingdom in the first step of a holy mission to regain their former glory. Rebel groups form within the captured populace, aided by agents from (as yet) unconquered territories. The story begins with a human boy, born with the rare gift of magic that only elves are thought to possess, being adopted by the elves...

A young man with a radiant power of stupidity learns how to control it, only to discover he is adopted, and he has been working for an evil mastermind. He escapes to Laos, unravelling his past to discover who he really is. In spite of those answers, he commits to using his power for good, a decision with global consequences.

William Hung, indeed... well, I am just trying to steer clear of channeling Forrest Gump. I already had to throw out the mother-with-the-pithy-aphorisms. But William's global impact in pursuit of a good cause does provide some interesting food for thought. Thanks.

In your average fantasyland, someone invents a robot and certain prominent wizards are going from dead good at magic to just dead. Intrigue ensues as I try to work out where the story is headed next. Oh, and Frankenstein shows up to punch things.
