Okay, before I start...I know I should "just do it" and whatnot, but I want to figure out how much time I should spend on this. I also realize that I won't really know if it's working until I do it, and I know that you guys can't tell me if it works because I could be a crappy writer, so of course it wouldn't.
But, anyway, does this sound like a semi-interesting idea to people?
It's supernatural horror, semi "paranormal romance" with LGBT (GLBT) themes, and coming-of-age.
The MC is rich, preppy guy named Luka who's moved from a California boarding school to one on the East Coast. His school in California was destroyed by a mysterious fire and his friend died in it. At his new school the social hierarchy is almost set in stone, but he decides to shake things up and changes everything around. Meanwhile weird stuff starts to happen and entities start to attack students and teachers. Things get darker and the spirits try to eliminate him and his friends, but they fight back. They eventually have to get the help of Langdon, who's the class outcast, and who becomes a love interest for the MC (first in secret, then public). Eventually they figure out that the entities are called the Zodiac (based off the Zodiac) with a 13th spirit who wants to take over everything. Luka and the others get stronger (supernaturally) in order to fight the Zodiac and their 'minions'. In the end, Langdon is the strongest and sacrifices himself to save the others.
So how's it sound? Semi-interesting? Stupid? Boring? Waste of revising time? I want honest opinions...I was going to take out the whole LGBT (GLBT) angle, but I'm getting a "leave it" vibe from people, sooooo what do you think?
ETA: Really, be honest...cause I have no emotional connections to this at the moment. I finished last December and haven't even read it, really, since then. So attack the idea...
ETA2: I don't think I was clear at first, but Luka's supposed to be "out" and it's generally okay at the school, but the issue with Langdon is that he's an outcast while Luka isn't. Do people think I should add more of the coming out angle, though?
TiA! Rep points for everyone!!!
