Concept Corner #1

Okay, so here's the deal. I've got one last post to make this week, and I've been thinking about some things that I could turn into a regular subject on this blog. That's where this came from - Concept Corner.

As an aspiring future author, I've got a decent number of ideas that I'd like to spin into stories one day. I figure that every now and then, it wouldn't hurt to put one up on here and see what kind of feedback I get for each of them. It could even be beneficial in the long run. This one here is the first of hopefully many - because the more of these that I do, the more my brain is working to give me story ideas.

These will probably mostly be young adults series, maybe with something for an older or younger crowd thrown in every now and then. The format will likely be constant for each submission: a name/working title, a summary, and some miscellaneous notes.

Concept Corner #1 - Immaterial
Five years ago, the Cathedral appeared in the skies over South Bend. With it came the Revenants - dark creatures born from and corrupted by the regrets of the dead - and a single instruction. 

"Await the Whisper..." 

Seth Kruger and Jordan Ballard are best friends nearing a divide as high school approaches an end. Like many others, they've managed to carve out lives largely untouched by the monsters that roam after nightfall, until an unforeseen attack leaves Seth dead and alone... but his spirit lives on. 

Upon reuniting, the two boys realize that Seth's passing has granted them an incredible power; the power to combine and transform into the hero that their home needs. For the Revenants must be guided to a rest, and when it comes to ghosts, sometimes a ghost is exactly what you need...

I was inspired greatly by Arrow and The Flash in creating this story's premise and structure. I imagine the story as a whole being written out in an episodic format similar to that of those shows - perhaps six episodes a book, with twenty-four episodes in a season. I'm planning about two seasons of material right now, making this an eight-book series.

I'm hoping to make this series my debut into the writing world. I've already begun to loosely plan it out in my head, and I'd be happy if something good came of it.
