I'm very partial to the whole school romance+travel to alternate world/dimension plot line. Shows like Twelve Kingdoms and Amatsuki are appealing for that reason (although not so much romance in the former; still it owns). In fact, one of my favorite authors, Guy Gavriel Kay, tells a beautiful story in the Fionavar Tapestry of five friends who go to an alternate world (Fionavar, the heart of all worlds) where they experience a lot of high adventure.

Yes, I shall go to the bookstore tomorrow and look both of them up. I think from now on I'll just read and watch everything you recommend, cause you have such good taste. lol

My very first short story I ever wrote was called "Invasion of the Green Blobs". About an alien invasion.

Hah, I'm beginning to like you more and more. Seriously though, there are a few titles that I think you'll really enjoy, anime and books both.

My titles are usually related to significant events that happen in the story, or significant themes. They also have to sound damn cool.

LOL, actually I wanna create a story more down to earth..

I been planning for awhile to start a story, but I didn't have time to do so.
and when I do start to think, Start to think really deeply, so deep that bad memeries come up then I get nightmares and really depress. so I always drink while I write some sorta of plot idea down when I am brain storming for a story. Music helps alot. angel and airwaves are my newest and major inspiration.

I love titles that don't have any obvious meaning to the story until some revelation later on in the movie/novel.
