I've got a couple of different ideas for the premise of this next story idea. Whichever one I don't use, I'll probably try to cannibalize for another story someday. Recycling, right?
Concept Corner #4 - Chronicler
Premise 1
A down on his luck author gets involved in a war between alien civilizations. After being seemingly identified as a mythical figure in the aliens' lore, he decides to tag along to learn more about the aliens and use them as inspiration for his stories.
Premise 2
A popular but worn-out YA author who's just finished a sci-fi series gets pulled into his own story, taking the place of the main character against the rest of the characters' knowledge. Armed with foresight as to the characters and plot that he's created, the author tries to survive and make sure that the story stays on track.
Both of these could probably be written for young adults or adults. I kind of want to write them as adult stories, though, since so many of my other ideas are YA novels. Both were inspired heavily by Mass Effect, and there's a bit of the Transformers movies in the first premise.
