What is your honest opinion of the following story idea?

Yes, I know: I need to buckle down and write a story for once, just for once! Well, rest assured. I have one underway and am currently on the 7th chapter. It is posted on a novel and fanfiction-sharing website called Shurtugal.com. However, I am still addicted to getting people's reactions to various story ideas I send there way. I'll probably never write it but I still appreciate your genuine feedback, advice, suggestions, and replies. But enough said, here it is!



The title would be either "An Arthurian Adventure" or "A Circle of Knights" (this one alludes to the Knights of the Round Table). The story concentrates on Lancelot who is lured to Camelot. Keep in mind that my version of Camelot is located in the magical land of Avalon where there are still wizards, witches, dragons, elves, and other creatures. Anyhow, Lancelot is lured to Camelot by Morgan le Fey who has an age-old grudge against King Arthur - the Immortal King who formed the Knights of the Round Table one thousand years ago or something like that. Morgan is also age-less are Arthur's Knights.



In it, Lancelot is an orphan boy who dreams of becoming one of the famous Knights so he eagerly accepts Morgan's offer to go to Camelot and become a Knight in exchange for doing something for her. He either has to steal Excalibur's sheath (remember Merlin told Arthur it would heal him from any wound?) or something else. He doesn't know what either things are though so he unwittingly makes a vow with magic that binds him to her. He eventually finds himself at Camelot after leaving his birth-village and along the way becomes a famous and powerful warrior.



He makes a name for himself at Camelot and is instantly attracted to Guinevere who is also curious of him. In time, they become friends and later - secret lovers. Unfortunately, she is also Arthur's wife so this causes tension when they are found out. Lancelot also has to fullfill his end of the bargain which, I think, would be to steal the scabbard of Excalibur. There's a grand finale at the end in which they destroy Morgan's powers but she opens a portal at the last minute and escapes. Then I had an idea that Arthur could become mortally wounded like in the legend when he fights Mordred (Morgan's cousin and underling) whom he kills.



He would then command Lancelot to throw Excalibur in the lake which he does, but there's a twist as he secretly knew about his love for Guinevere all along. Arthur was attracted to Guinevere at first and Merlin did warn him against the marriage like the legend but Arthur married her anyway. However, in time he realised that it was lust and not love. Still, he told her and they agreed that they only felt about each other like brother and sister.



So Arthur gives Lancelot his permission to be with Gwenivere and become king in his stead. Then Arthur dies and the Lady of the Lake who gave them Excalibur turns his body into stone or crystal in a flat position. They make a monument to it also and they live happily ever after until part 2 if I choose to make one and even finish this book. Well, that was a long idea but what do you think? Sound interesting? Cliche? Boring? Cool? Down-right stupid? A rip-off?

ok,

your story will interest most teenage girls in the ages of 16 and 17

Before writing a book you always have to think the kind of reader who will interest in your story.
The age range, the sex, the lifestyle of the reader. Your story is a fictional adventurous love story that sounds like a medival soap opera. Its actually good, but do you mind attracting teenage girls to read your story? if yes, then keep it up. If not, change the story line.
Personally, ... YAWN. Not that it doesn't have all the trappings for a younger generation though. It will come down to your writing ability. Good luckWhat is your honest opinion of the following story idea?
This movie called MERLIN

it has been filmed few years earlier

;)
I don't know what your target audience was but I am 14 and that doesn't really appeal to me! Thats just my opinion! Please don't take that in a bad way, because I like the idea of it, it just doesn't sound very exciting to read, although I am a girl. I believe if you make this exciting, dramatic, and don't give up, then it could be a very good book...



and just to let you know, don't listen to any haters, I got haters saying my book was just stupid and idiotic and no one would ever read it, and look where I am now?! Publishing books! :)

Honestly, I do not recommend coming to Yahoo answers for writing help. First, you're not always guaranteed a good answer, or an answer at all for that matter. Also, not everyone on Yahoo answers cares enough to really write out a long post to help you. Which is why I've been suggesting that people join a forum - I highly recommend Develop My Skills. It's a new forum, with a solid group of active members that strive to help other writers and/or photo editers and/or artists develop and improve their skills. You're guaranteed well, thought out answers/replies, and advice, help, and tips when needed. It's a wonderful community and a great place to relax. There's a Weekly Caption Contest opening soon, too, and a group novel (a novel that will be written by a group of Develop My Skills members that want to participate) that you can join or help with if you want.
