Amy, I really love idea #2. I think it would appeal to a teenager's overdramatic sense of isolation and rejection. Then out of that, finding that one special person to be friends with, only to find out the friend is even more isolated and subject to probable rejection, even danger because of their differences from "the norm". I think there's a huge opportunity for exploring a first real relationship--from either side, if you wanted selkie POV.
#3 is so very, very intriguing though. I really want to read that trilogy.
broad array, wide array, an array, different, many different, billions and billions (Oh, hi, Carl!), a number of different, a whole lotta (no?), wide ranging, wide range of, multiple, many types of, different types of, myriad (what? I like that word), and, finally, many different and wide ranging multiple arrays of types.
It only feels like billions and billions.
Scampering in late, but Amy, PLEASE write #3. I want to read it right now.

I need to figure out where to do some research, though, other than rewatching
Carnivale.
Not that I'm not planning to do just that.
Something Wicked This Way Comes?
I need to figure out where to do some research, though, other than rewatching Carnivale.
I wonder if looking up information on the show itself would point you to some of the sources used.
Also a good source! This is why I need you guys! I should probably reread
Geek Love,
too, although I'm one of the few who didn't like it much.
Try here too, for starters: [link]
Water for Elephants
There are a lot of books about the circus and sideshows.
The boy and his selkie could be really good, although selkie love stories never have happy endings. On the other hand, you did a great job on the girl and her dead boyfriend, which was not exactly a happy love story.
