Underwing Challenge Day 6!
What does your portfolio look like? Talk about as many other WIPS as you'd like here.
My portfolio is very mixed, but mostly contains different types of Fantasy or Adventure stories, occasionally drifting into side genres like Science Fiction, Actions, or Mystery/suspense! I also mainly write chapter books, as that's what I find most entertaining!
I have a few WIPs, so we'd better get started!
Quiet Instincts: Melissa is a young girl who's become good friends with a group of runaway kids who live in school that was abandoned after 5 students went missing nearly 30-40 years ago. Melissa starts feeling like she's being watched and sees shadows following her. While doing further research into this, she runs into an old man who gives her a book that details events very similar to her own. With the help of a few of her friends, she investigates an area near her town said to be connected with these strange events. Much to their surprise, they quickly end up in over their heads.
Trapped Underground: While exploring the outskirts of their city, Callan and his friend, Felix, find a strange cave. During school the next day, they convince two of their friends to join them in exploring it, and are quickly joined by the "teachers pet", as she thinks they'll just cause harm to the cave. They meet up later that night and go to the cave, only to be trapped inside by a sudden rockslide. The five of them, plus another student who'd accidently got caught in with them, try to find an exit before they run out of supplies. They soon start to think that the rockslide might not have been an accident, as strange occurrences start to happen and one of them seems to be the target. Callan.
Codename Starships: Overconfident, anti-villan, Ryker Clint, is half way between roaming the galaxy as an independent bounty hunter-type person and running around doing tasks for the agency that's been tasked with protecting the galaxy. He keeps his ship running with his self aware computer, Pigeon, and his young mechanic, Kayl. The two of them are going through their normal routine when one of their closest allies is attacked and robbed of a powerful item, one of many scattered throughout the galaxy. Seeking revenge, Ryker and Kayl try and find the people responsible, but their paths are crossed with the Agency's who are looking for the same people, and they quickly realize that these thieves are a bigger threat then they thought, as they've collected multiple of the powerful objects and are possibly putting the whole universe at risk.
*my less developed stories-*
Operation Magic (Working on name): In a galaxy full of indepent hero-like agencies who help defend the worlds their located on, three young students are trying to find a way to start up their own agency when they are suddenly wrapped up in another agency's conflicts. Two of them leave while the one takes on being an apprentice for that agency's wizard (All agencies have a mix of medical staff, wizards, and engineers, as well as fighters/defenders. They can all take on apprentices/interns.) However, when the apprentice is mysteriously injured just a few days later, the other two come back and try to figure out what happened to their friend. Suddenly, the whole agency is sabatoged, leaving them distraught and confused. However, they quickly get their act together and peruse the traitor to try to stop him from starting a civil war admist the very tense situation the solar system finds themself in.
Kingdom Siege (working on name): A story that takes place in a fantasy-Medieval setting. A jolly guard from a waterbased kingdom who came to one of the biggest, and most inclusive kingdoms on land to find work is now one of the highest ranking commanders. However, after the Prince is secretly kidnapped, the King is blackmailed by a group of extremists. The Water Guard and a few of his friends are exiled when they get suspicious of the King's changing behavior. However, they don't give up on the King and his family. Together with a few people on the inside, they plot to retake the kingdom and save the royal family, which includes endeavors little sneaking into the castle, spying, and even interrupting an execution.
I have more, but these are the ones I feel the most confident talking about!
