WANNA KNOW YOUR FANTASY

HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LATE

TEARS FALLING FROM YOUR EYES

NO IT'S NOT FATE

WANNA KNOW WHY

WANNA KNOW YOUR FANTASY

HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LATE

WIPE YOUR TEARS FROM YOUR EYES

AND STAND STILL ON YOUR FEET

So, I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month this year and I'm super freakin' stoked about my story. It's the first time I've had an idea that felt so fully fleshed out like this one does, so I thought I'd share it here. If anyone wants to be my writing buddy on Nanowrimo.org, my writing name is Lunamono!

Title: F.A.T.E. Author: Lunamono Genre: Fantasy Synopsis

F.A.T.E. (Fantasies And Temptations Entwined) is a nightclub where you can have your deepest wishes granted... for a price. Populated by various supernatural, as well as mortal, beings, F.A.T.E. is a place where magic and myth mingles with the mortal world.

Liv is a black, female Reaper who works as a bartender at F.A.T.E. Once a mortal human, Liv died a terrible death but was resurrected as a Reaper, a supernatural being who bares the gift and the burden of separating the souls of the dead from their anchors in the living world.

In addition to being F.A.T.E.'s bartender, Liv also does side jobs for Bastien, a non-corporeal celestial being who is the creator and owner of F.A.T.E. Bastien grants wishes upon those who enter its domain for an equivalent price. It appears most often in the guise of a human, but takes on a different appearance and gender to every person who sees it.

Liv is joined in her adventures by her roommate Kyo, a Japanese asexual Incubus who is F.A.T.E.'s resident rock star. As an Incubus, Kyo relies on sexual energy from others to feed and sustain him, although he does not experience sexual attraction himself and suffers from crippling social anxiety and aversion to physical touch. Kyo utilizes his rock star status to feed off of his audience's lust and adoration for him without actually having to come into physical contact with them.

Other denizens of F.A.T.E. include Angela, a transgender Valkyrie who works as F.A.T.E.'s bouncer, and La Muerte, a Mexican Reaper who is a colleague and potential love interest of Liv's.
