Hey there, everyone. I'm Kiya, and I'm doing my third NaNo (won my first two). I skipped last year due to work/school overload, but I'm out of school now, and figure it's time to tackle it again.
This year, I'll be writing a gaslight fantasy novella. My characters are based on (though not the same as) mythological creatures from all over the world (fauns, nagas, satyrs, harpies, Native American spirit-gods, tengu, mermaids, werewolves, etc), but the setting is more akin to what one would expect to find in Steampunk fiction. The plot features things like clandestine societies that are working to take over the country in which the novel is set, both heterosexual and homosexual romances and romantic pairings (with SEX - I'm not shy), some very nastily leaking rifts in the matrix of reality, an oracle who just doesn't exist from the hips down, and the occasional vision-induced seizure. Also, some soldiers and lots and lots of guns and fighting.
The title will be The Precognist: or, The Society for the Invigoration of the Commonwealth. I have a not-yet completed webpage (http://kiyakotari.com/NEW/STEAM/steamindex.html) set up for it. I also collect ABJD (Massively Expensive Asian Dolls), and have been very slowly acquiring the main characters of the story as dolls for the last ten months or so.
