I like 3 the best. 2 sounds good as well. I don't really like 1.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

3 for me! Carnivale meets the Night Circus meets Amy Garvey -- yum!

Me too! I like 3 a lot!

Because books.
So #3 is taking the crown, huh? (That's the one I think I like best, too.) So that's the one I'll play with this week!
sj, tell me what you didn't like about #1, just out of curiosity?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Totally 3. It sounds so wicked and smells like funnel cake and doom.

It just seems like something that has been done before, at least the bored muse part. Sorry.

No need to apologize! That's what I need to know!

I love #3, especially for the possibilities of a point of view book from each triplet -- that has so much awesome potential for coolness and crossover and different angles on the same event or events. And an intriguing world I know little about.
I like #1, too, because I enjoy seeing a person dumped into an unfamiliar way of existing in the world -- either the world has changed or they have (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century! Sleeper! Gods who lose their powers!).
#2 appeals the least to me, I think maybe just because the two characters both sound like they'd be cranky at first, which is kind of silly of me, but that's all I can come up with for why it appeals less than the other two.

I have to start writing. I'm so stressed about finances right now, that it's eating my brain. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, yay, but getting from here to there seems fraught right now. So, I am both anxious when thinking about it and anxious when trying to do anything else because I'm not thinking about it. Of course, what I really need to do on all fronts is take action.
