Stories To Be

No title, or even a working nickname yet, for this story. It's about werewolves in White Wolf's new World of Darkness (aka. WoD), and the trials they go through in establishing themselves as a pack and trying to defend their human kin. Scenes I'm writing for this story have been and will continue to be posted to this blog as I write them. But you can also get the scenes listed out in proper order for the story here or by following the link up top in the left column.

Any suggestions for a title would be appreciated!


A bit of history
I found out about the WoD novel contest about two weeks before the deadline for entering. The concept I chose came from a former character history of mine - a Mage set in the old World of Darkness - in which I established the existence of a trio of werewolves:

"Then a new battle began, and this time the numbers were fair. However, skills and experience weren’t. A couple of the new Garou soon realized this. In a quick thinking move that would later earn them Wisdom Renown, three of the new Garou pounced the unwitting ... Fortunately for the three Garou ... they survived that night when many of the new Garou didn’t. They became a close knit trio, theirs a friendship based on trust forged in the heat of battle. They went on to doing everything together, and proving again and again their balanced skill in brains and brawn in service to Gaia. But that’s another story."

Starting with that, I scrambled to my local bookstore to check out the new WoD, which I knew nothing about, so I could adapt my idea properly. I wrote up a few different drafts of a synopsis (which can be found in the recent news list to the right), while trying to build a full story concept in my mind based around the werewolves instead of the mage. I think I'm doing pretty well so far!

I hope to write as much as possible before I find out if my synopsis was chosen, which is supposed to happen the first week of May. Mostly because if it doesn't get chosen I loose my motivation to keep writing, so I should use the motivation while I've got it and not just go stir crazy waiting to find out if I made it to round two. But also because if it does get chosen then I will already know a fair amount of what's going on with the story and it should be easier to get a first chapter together for round two.
