what am I going to wriiiite?

Alright, people - this year, I am Planning Ahead for NaNoWriMo, mostly because I suspect it may be the only way I will actually get anything done. And I am bound and determined to actually finish this year. So.

Here's my dilemma: the last few years, I've actually managed to accumulate a couple of vague notions about things that I want to write, and I don't know which I should go for. So, inspired by a couple other writerly folks on my lovely f-list, I am soliciting your help in deciding which damned novel I should spend this fall desperately trying to write.

Ticky Box!

There's always the option of combining things, which is my Something Else. Combine other ideas into one, perhaps?

Also, I'd've checked fanfiction, except for the "original concepts are ass" thing. Fanfic for NaNo is deliciously self-indulgent. *nods sagely* But it doesn't mean original things suck!

Yeah, that's usually my "Something Else" as well, but I usually end up getting sort of boggled as to how exactly to do so without losing everything I'd originally intended about the novel. *Sighs*

I am not skilled with the long-form or original work. Alas.

If all else fails, I will spend the month writing shamelessly self-indulgent fanfiction. But I do sort of want to try to practice my original stuff, being as how... well... I need the practice.
