Influx of Inspiration.

Cool, I can't believe that I'm being afflicted with an influx of inspiration. I've got crazy ideas for the whole Raven Chase thing and I'm going to include a Rambaldi-like plotline in it.

Instead of a person, the Rambaldi-like plotline (which I am going to term as the Nostradamus archetype plot) is going to revolve around an ancient cult with esoteric information on the occult, mathematics, and chemistry. Possibly, there could be prophets or seers in this cult which use drugs and herbs to induce trances. It could even develop into a sort of Lovecraftian story. I could have one Lovecraftian version and one normal version (espionage horror? Oo-er). Maybe the cult has some ancient horror in the depths of some distant or remote place?

I'm planning on starting the whole story with a flashback to hundreds of years back. It might be a flashback to the 1940s to a group of Nazi occultists (was playing with the idea of having this ancient cult being employed to work as occultists for the Nazi regime - but this idea treads of line of historical and political correctness) , or even further back, to the Middle Ages or similar. Then I could possibly describe a conflict between two members of the cult, and some vague or hazy references to a great secret/revelation/super-duper-evil-devastative-weapon, and then both of them perish in the bawl, perhaps in an explosion or collapse or even poison.

Still toying with a lot of ideas. Eeps.

Oh yes, I might even come up with a fictional world intelligence organisation, rather like a global version of the CIA. Might call it the GIO (Global Intelligence Office) or even GIB (Global Intelligence Bureau). Am playing with a lot of ideas still.

At least I've got ideas =]

Raven Chase is officially established.

This post officially kick-starts Raven Chase, a black-ops-cum-espionage-themed story (or possibly series of stories) that I hope to start writing soon. I'll be duplicating my character Alain from ColdNights.Net and placing him in another context, possibly one that happens way before the context of CNN or after it. If this is pre-CNN I would suppose that this period of time was erased or shut down in his memory, perhaps as a safety procedure.

And as part of a writer's blog as well, here's a line I dropped in a convo with Eud: "We're all getting lost in the present. Why get lost in the past as well?"

Well, I'm too tired to start writing anything. Will come up with an entry soon!
