Have an idea that's been percolating for a while. I hesitate to start it, because i'm in the eye of the storm right now. 8 days and i'll return for another round of grad school.
Concept is *very* loosely inspired by Disney's The Jungle Book, basically taking the core concept and conflict with a very different theme. In short, a baby boy ends up in the realm of Goddesses, where human men (or male gods) are forbidden because a goddess bearing a child would upset the balance of power among the divine. One Goddess (goddess of life) takes care of him, until he turns 11 and begins to hit puberty, then she realizes the temptation to sleep with him will become too much to bear, so she recruits the Goddess of Peace to take the boy to a portal that will return him to the human world.
so, again, same basic plot as The Jungle Book. He has to be removed for his own safety, because mating with a Goddess is forbidden... for the human. Of course, they're all out to get him. Eight goddesses altogether, drawn from different traditions:
Life: Bast (Egyptian)
Peace: Frigga (Norse)
War: Morrigan (Celtic)
Happiness: Juno (Roman)
Prosperity: Pomona (Roman)
Desire: Parvati (Hindu)
Want: Beira (Celtic)
Death: Hel (Norse. And now you know where the English word comes from)
Fits with a long-running favorite of mine, the Milf/Shota line, as well as a thing for goddesses.
Still hesitant because it could be one of those things where i cook up a chapter, and then *bam*, indefinite hiatus. Like my "Omkara" story, where i just cannot find motive to do Act 3.
