Light Novel of mine in production - Fluffyball - 12-06-2014
I'm writing Light Novel (think of novella with whole-page anime pictures depicting the plot time to time) and I ended up, trying to cope up with my previous failed ideas, to set whole thing around VR MMO and Slice-of-life.
The problem is how to avoid the possible problems with actual history in the story, like, how to make in-book background kind of believeable, in what time set it (2020s?), if to even make it Alternative History a bit (like Windows have failed in 2010 and was replaced by other OS)? Any ideas about how to get out from this kind of awkward situation (so far, I have no other explanation than most generic 2020s with the new VR that stormed hearts of millions).
I can't say much about plot for now (possible publication law issues in the future), but I assure you I'm trying to put my heart into that idea, as I my very long write-block disappeared. I can say however it will include fantasy (in game), sci-fi, romance, drama (slice-of-life I believe; real world).

Honestly, a good way to do things could be to set the thing in another reality. You can get to experiment as much as you like with that.

At the moment I'm just wondering, if I should go for more NET GAME style, or keep it as a purely fantasy thing, without modern world. Can't really decide on this one, to be honest.
