I'm drawn most to #3, probably thanks to my love of all things 1930s. Also, it could be pitched as a YA take on Carnivale.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I like 3 the best. 2 sounds good as well. I don't really like 1.

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!
