[QUOTE="Indagare Nogitsune, post: 9843517, member: 40018"] Having read [I]No One Returns from the Enchanted Forest[/I], I've gotten an idea for a potential setting and/or story (stories to go with settings are not exactly new). I'm going to include actual book spoilers in the spoilers to help clarify, but the basic premise is that young deities are placed in a demiplane and can only leave if they prove themselves to their parents/higher level deities. The setting would revolve around not only the deities, but the mortals who somehow got into the demiplane and now have to deal with them. [SPOILER="The Story"] Every year at Midsummer the Queen Mother goes to Teacup Island, which she created for her daughters the Earth Queen (who is also fire-coded with flaming hair: she's not yet reached the stage where she can create volcanoes yet) and Water Queen (likes to collect people and animals in stasis bubbles; plans to 'wisely lead' everyone once she's made the top of the island into a lake) to see how they have improved the island, which is a test of both their powers and maturity. It's not clear what, exactly, she's expecting but the daughters never deliver because they are constantly fighting and undoing each others' work. This all changes when a very young Goblin girl goes to give the Earth Queen a piece of her mind over the latest earthquake that's forced them to move. Her older sister goes to rescue her, makes friends with a forest troll, and proposes a solution to the Queen Mother where a council of all the sapient beings will meet with her and the daughters every Midsummer to report. The daughters, in the meanwhile, must serve the island inhabitants and the island itself (they aren't, strictly speaking, bound to this other than not wanting to make their mother even more disappointed in them). [/SPOILER] Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
