Hi, I'm Sophia. This is my first time trying NaNo -- I wanted to sign up last year, but managed to psych myself out of it. I'm worried about midterms/college-y stuff and am having some issues with a friend, but with luck and a bit of drive I should be able to balance that and NaNo.

I'm writing an urban fantasy story centered around four secret societies who have their fingers/claws/tentacles in just about every pie. The story mostly focuses on a special forces squad in the military arm of one of the societies, the Templar, and will follow them as their main society experiences a catastrophic schism, the existence of the societies and their members is revealed to the outside world, and through a supernatural war of international proportions.

I'll be using a ton of modern interpretations of legends/fairytales/mythologies, and I'll put up an explanation somewhere for why they've changed forms since their original incarnations. There will be a lot of action and fighting, possibly romance and sex, a lot of crazy creatures running amok, mass panic, and some wildly different characters.

...eek. It's pretty ambitious of me, but I'm going to at least crank out as many words as I can, even if I don't win.
