Default The Gunslinger Chronicles - 08-26-2010, 09:01 AM

Well, this is a story I've been working on for a few months now. It's a two part fantasy story. I'd be glad to know what you think of the plot.

PLOT OUTLINE:

The story revolves around a girl that goes by the alias of "Alice Liddell", her real name having been erased from the story (that's being told in the frame of a diary or chronicle penned by her). She is part of the aristocratic Dodgeson family, but loathes the rich life. She feels crippled and imprisoned, hates having servants cater to her, and has a deep grudge towards her parents, whom she feels harbor no love for her or her sisters - particularly, her father.

One night her house is assaulted by robbers, under orders to kill Alice and her baby sister, rob the house and set it on fire. Alice is saved by man who goes by the name of "Cole". Cole is a member of an underground group called "The Gunslingers" - a small terrorist group comprised by people with supernatural abilities. During the assault, Alice develops her own supernatural ability: Devil's Eyes, the ability to precieve what is going to happen seconds before it happens.

Having been rescued by the Gunslingers, she discovers her father has erased all records of her having existed. She joins with the Gunsligers, who search for a way to challenge the world that condemns and hurts people. The search for such an idealistic dream wiull lead Alice to encounter many unique people. But in the end, what goes around comes around, and the story will lead Alice to encounter her father once again...

I think that sounds more like a supernatural rather than a fantasy.

Plot doesn't matter as long as good execution or something like that?

This reminds me of my first book I ever read in English, "Pirates!". Your plot and sense of writing style seem to be very similar- did you read that book also? I don't remember the author.... My guess is you didn't however.

Do you have any chapters written we could read?

No, I haven't read pirates.

It's actually in Hebrew. I could try translating it for you, though I'm not entirely sure about my skills at translating.

But I'll try. Is there any demand, though?

I would honestly be interested in reading it- and I have a room mate that can read Hebrew if that helps.
