Live. Love. Die. Lame Plot.

xD Haha, Ree. Um... plots. All I can say is turn something you're passionate about or think is controversial and make that the center of the plot. When I read your plot here, I think you forced to conceive one; but, natural and good plots should come from the heart and what you think about the world.

The one I talked about here is focusing on the fact that authors get no repercussions from killing off plots, characters, etc.; I basically perverted this notion and twisted it to where the world the author (Insofert) is real, but s/he doesn't care about the world. It only exists for his/her entertainment, and they should be grateful that they are able to exist. With your major plot, you should make it even more complex by minor plots/concepts to think about.

Major plot: -- Control over lives (any life)
Minor plots: -- Creator vs. Creation
-- What is the definition of "normal" for societies?
-- Questions on the concepts of 'greater beings'

This is what I have so far for just a novel idea. I know it's not ideal for NaNo, but I thought I could give you my plot-making tips. Just let what you want to write about be from your heart and then twist it to make it entertaining. For example, Battle Royale, I believe, was supposed to be a big metaphor to the Japanese working place, that you must be the strongest/smartest one in order to find a job (stay alive), and this 'killed' people's futures and lives should they not be the best of the best. What we have from this book is not only a depressing, bloody story where people are desperate, but a story that ties around the changes in government, the concept of removing history from the minds, brainwashing, issues on trust, and accounts of human misbehavior.

TL;DR: Just make your plot around something your passionate or hateful about of the world, or something you think would entertain you/teach a lesson. x3

Interesting things can spring up if you mixed your interests with other interests.

You like pandas, sheep, and cats. You also had government and 1500s England. While Animal Farm kind of meshed governments with animals, how about you try something that didn't point fingers to communism? What about government don't you like and what do you like? How about make your animals representative of people? Sheep can be one social rank, pandas another, and cats like the bourgeoisie? If not wanting to mix government, 1500s England?

I guess if you wanted a depressing story, follow the perspective of a poor soul trying to gain riches/tear down an awful government but ultimately fail for realism's sake?
