(RE:POST FROM THE NOTEPAD) Okay I finally figured out how to post... anyways... I just was thinking one day about the life of some guys these days, and how they're bound to the indoors, but they really feel the need to adventure, so I came up with the first line to what could be... well anything i suppose... but most of all a story about a young man being perhaps thrust into adventure. A bit cliche I know, and it's little to start off with, but this could literally go anywhere... "He was an inside kid. Like furniture, he was rarely found outdoors, except perhaps infrequently at a park or on a front porch." ...that's it, that's all I've got so far haha

So, we have a main character so far... and the need is that he needs an adventure. He needs to get outdoors and do things.
What kind of setting should we use?

Manly stuff for manly men. Like fighting dragons and punching bears. ^^

haha defiantly, I mean he's probably not the bravest sort of person so I feel like he's going to need some kind of mentor, and I was thinking of it being somewhere in the "Narnia'ish" style, mainly so things can happen that normally wouldn't be possible.

Like a crazy old wizard mentor or like a ninja mentor?

How'z about a Western mentor? Some old gun-slinging chap... and using the basic Narnia premise, but instead of Narnia he goes into a more Western-feel land. Where they have to do lots of manly things... like herding cattle, tending a farm, being respectful to women, and shooting bad guys.

Oh! Even better! Me likey very much!! This is starting to take shape. Let's get a main character (Fendrik) and then I'll toss it onto The Molding Table.

Instantly my mind goes to Wells. I suggest we don't use that name though. Demoux is a good name.

Yes I think we should steer clear of Scott Card as well... Demoux? is that some Sanderson reference? what about Eisenberg, or King or Gray or Black or Wood? maybe something else...

Doh, you caught the reference. Orson Wood is a good name. I like that one.
