OOC Meme: Random Books!
Hey y'all! So you know how you can order a random book, comic, magazine, or activity book from the shop, but every time you do, Katy and Elle sit down and spin up that literature wholesale?
Well, how about this.
If you, yes, you, reading this at this very moment, want to produce a title and summary for a book, comic, magazine, or activity book yourself, and submit it to this post, we'll add it to the random shop offerings, and inflict your masterpieces upon poor, unsuspecting passengers whenever they hit that Random option! Think we have too many science fiction epics and not enough sordid urban fantasy romance? Too many young adult coming of age stories and not enough detective noir? Time to fix that, by populating an infinite universe of literature.
Look, we need to fill the library somehow.
Here's a handy form:
Note: if you submit a book that's Voidtrain or Voidtrecker related, it is unlikely to be distributed, but feel free to write it for fun.

I swear, this is the only pre-written one I'll do. ;)
Name: A Life of Constant Running
Blurb: Sunny isn't a proper name for a Voidtrain. Sunny doesn't care.
Most trains know what they're for. Sunny does not.
Most trains stay in one world or system their entire lives. Sunny does not.
Most trains, even the ones that travel the void, have people to look after them. Sunny does not.
All of this is fine.
Except it's not.
And Sunny isn't really her name.
Summary: 'Sunny' is a voidtrain that, through some very unfortunate circumstances, is unable - or at least very unwilling - to go home. But just because one system is off-limits to her mind, doesn't mean there aren't lots of other lovely options out there! When you're an empath, and have limited psychic abilities to match, shouldn't the world be your oyster?
Only, wherever Sunny goes, she Sees things. Things that haven't yet happened, or could only have been seen by one person. And wherever she goes, there are people that need help - but who would trust a train without a crew? And so Sunny is stealthy, leaving hints and nudgings in ways more abstract than she would like.
She succeeds in helping more often than she fails, but not by much - at least according to her!
And when one day a poltergeist turns out to be more, turns out to be something from the void that finds her very interesting indeed... there's no place far enough she can run.
I came up with this back in early May. Any other books from me will be properly randomized after this, promise. XD
