Well sure! I even have an interesting twist on it with my wealthy socialite sub-plot. (Thanks again S.A.W.! 
) Though, at first at least, folks will mostly think she's just some crackpot. I mean, really. Wouldn't you? 
Anyway, which Goddess idea do you like better?

I like the Meret idea better, personally.
I totally want to read what you have when you're done.

Of course not! That'd be too easy.
How am I supposed to add it to the first post if I don't know your Nano name? And, I wanna add you as a writing buddy! Can't do that without your Nano name.

It should be the same as the email address on the forum account.

I don't know what you're talking about. I'll just leave your Nano name blank until you decide to share it then. And I guess I won't add you to my writing buddies till then either.

Noola, I hope you're prepared for all the religious fight-back that would happen if this was actually going on. I wonder if you'll include that in your story. 
If you did, it'd make it a more realistic read, in my opinion.

I doubt there'd be too much backlash or fight against Noola's idea.
Noola hasn't gone around saying
God, Modern Religion, There is No God, etc.

Huh, funky. I've never actually heard of this. I'd like to give it a try too.

Now, you decide what you want to write about, and at midnight, November 1st, you can start writing and will hopefully reach at least 50k words by the time the end of November arrives!
What're you gonna write about?

)Nah. I'm fine with modern religion, as long as it doesn't try to convert me. I'm a perfectly happy agnostic, thank you!
I think Myrkr meant in the story though. As in, she hopes I'd include how religious folks might react to some chick claiming she's a God and all. Unless I'm wrong and she thinks folks will get mad IRL about it? Which would be kind of funny actually.

)She means there would be religious fight-back in the book. Islamic Extremists would have an instant fit, and Evangelicals would definitely not be happy.
I mean, Islamic Extremists demand people's heads for a lot less than saying they are a god.
Though, there are people who really do claim to be Jesus in modern day, and they do get followings without being assassinated or anything. The problem is when you try to take it to a nation-wide scale. It could actually be really interesting to delve into how you'd go from a local church as an opponent, (and a wealthy socialite
) to the American Right-wing Evangelicals, to the full on Catholic Church and all of Islam.QUOTE(S.A.W. @ Oct 28 2008, 06:47 PM) 576862

She should write about a Lex Luther-type supervillain who gets arrested and put into a haunted asylum where his obsession with revenge and his drive to escape slowly drives him more and more insane. No, wait... that's mine.
Hey that sounds cool!
I've always thought it would be fun to write a story where the super-villain wins. Beats the hero and takes over the world. And then finds out how much hard work running the world is and how much it all sucks compared to what he'd thought it would be.
SAW nailed it right on the head.
On a happy note, I've decided on my theme/plot.

I posted a few in an earlier post, you can borrow if you're stuck. Or we can come up with new ones! What's your favorite genre? Horror? Fantasy? Sci-fi? Historical fiction? Romance?
