[QUOTE="Estlor, post: 1739373, member: 7261"] I'll still hold off going into too many details (I'd like to wait until I'm officially rejected), but here's some more background into my submission. As I stated before, the premise I started with was the line "You can't go home again." That actually turned into one of the working titles of my story (the other being "Relics," if that helps any plot guessers). The story is about accepting yourself for who you are. The main character, a soldier during the Last War, comes to accept his life and the choices he made over the course of an adventure through Breland, Dhaargun, and the Mournland (with a brief stop in Zilargo). Throughout, the protagonist is contrasted with a character in his group that continues to run from who he is. Elements of character study, cinematic adventure, and even a little intrigue make it into the plot. It also has a twist ending that turns the entire novel on its ear (in a deliciously Eberron kind of way). Dragonmarks, lightning rails, kalashatar, warforged, and warring goblins show up in the story, each to varying degrees. So does a psion, which (AFAIK) would be a rare thing outside a Dark Sun novel. The synopsis was murder to write, but the rest was an absolute blast. I loved getting to mix things up in the sample pages. Even if I don't get selected, I'm really glad WotC gave me the chance to let my imagination play in Keith Baker's world for a little while. [/QUOTE]
