Having an inkling for a NaNoWriMo novel. One of the members of my quartet was telling us about finding her birth family through @ncestry.c0m, and how the brother wrote her this awesome e-mail about being assimilated into the family like they're the Borg, and how the brothers all can't get through those mistreated dog commercials without crying, and how excited he was that she was in a chorus...anyway, as she's reading us this e-mail, I'm picturing a YA protagonist finding a sibling soulmate through the same situation. And then she tells us that one of the brothers said something that hit a political red flag with her, and she did a little research and found out that the whole family are Trump fans, and she is very much not. But I start noodling on this idea I had...only what if instead of being Trump fans, the YA protagonist learns they have roots in magic or they're demons or mad scientists or whatnot. I personally cannot write a contemporary without making it SFF (or at least implying it), so I was thinking about the Star Trek references he made, and what if something sci-fi was happening and she has to call on the brother she never met to help save the world (or whatever)? Could be something fantastical too. Super abilities without calling them superheroes, whatever. I'm still working on it, but I got her permission to use the situation as inspiration, and I'm excited to have something in September to consider for NaNoWriMo.
