The Nerd Emerges Happily

[sarahcb1208]

So, I was discussing a NaNo idea with Josh. I LOVE the idea of doing a DnD one, but I want a modern twist on it. He helped me semi-flesh out an idea:
IDEA A : The MC is in the "modern" world, and is a gamer, and gets knocked unconscious living out a DnD fantasy "dream".
IDEA B : The MC is asked out by the resident "geek" (who isn't the stereotypical geek, I swear. He doesn't live in his mom's basement ;)). She turns him down, and somehow she ends up in the DnD fantasy world, and the only way to get out/wake-up is with the help of the "geek". She learns a lot about herself, and finds she actually knew more than she thought she did. Or something.

 

The idea better happen. I just bought TWO books on Amazon to support the idea.
Oh well, if not, Josh wanted them anyways :D

 

I’m getting good responses:

From @Cylithria: “you know what I Love, love, love the Idea B, but then again I love Idea A too. These are brilliant Sarah (and Josh) now I am all excited to read these. Hurry up and write it already will you? ;)”

 

From @daisysmiles4you: “I think I like the 2nd one...I always feel kinda of cheated at the end by the first type of plot. They can be very good but to find out that it's all "just a dream"....Ie sigh. shrug … Plus w/the 2nd you could do a bunch with misunderstandings due to jargon and the like real world vs gaming...”

 

My response to @daisysmiles4you: “I was already coming up with quotes. I can bring in Star Trek, Lord of the Ring, Star Wars, etc into it :-D Alternate universe sounds more fun. :-P”

OOOOO. I love A, but I agree. The waking-up-from-a-dream end to books and movies usually makes me want to punch something. B ALL THE WAY!

I have my "character sheet" for the MC in the DnD world written up. Going to have my husband help me with the male's since he's going to be leveled up and all that jazz :D
