The polling software didn’t work too well. Err, actually, it didn’t work at all. So here are my three known Nano options.
1 – Diary of an Evil Genius – Title says it all. 3rd person limited omniscient POV, with intermingled entries from the protagonist’s journal. In Snowflake approach: “The successes and failures of a competitor for the title of ‘Evil Genius’ in the once-a-decade international competition.”
2 – Reality for Dummies, by god, Retired – Title says nothing at all. First person POV interviewing former dieties, some of whom are no longer as sane or capable as they once were. Snowflake version: “A young man is guilt-tripped by his mother into recording some of his grandfather and other elder relatives lifestories before they pass on from this world.”
3 – A Brief History of Devolution – This is the fault of Will Wright, famed creator of SimCity and The Sims. He’s currently working on a novel game called Spore that I can see absorbing every single spare moment I have once it’s released — in the end of 2006. So there’s time yet. The review of a preview was simply novel — descibing how the game will allow you to go from altering single-cell organisms on up into interfering with other planet’s developments. So my idea… Snowflake: “A multi-eon overview to the development and collapse of a completely fictional universe, starting from the Big Bang, and ending with the Gnab Gib.”

None of these are likely to end up too serious. I know I have two votes for Item 1. What do the rest of you think?
