| That is the title of this book (i am making). The background story (what would be on the back of the book): Destiny brought them together, humanity shall destroy them. follow the story of a boy and his dog as they run from society. However when they run, something special happens to his dog. She starts mutating...Will she go out of control or can her owner help control her... So yeah. I don't want to reveal the twist, but it is REALLY good... I am soo exctied for it! | |

| Do you plan for it to be a series (More than one book, usually more than three), or a stand-alone title (a single book)? | |

| Ah, good. I may not know much about stand-alones, since I only write series, but here are a few things that make a stand-alone good:
-You MUST wrap up everything at the end, or people will think, and they will, that there will be a sequel because you left a few things still going. -The plot of a stand-alone is often different than that of a series. The plot of a series is one that can be kept going for a long time, whilst a stand-alone's plot is a plot that can only really go for one book. In my opinion, your story does sound like a series, and it'd be quite good as a series. Often in a fantasy or adventure, or both, series, the first book is the one where the main characters are usually clueless as to what is really going on with the series, I.E: For your series, maybe, just a suggestion, the first book is the main character and his dog starting to realize that they are being chased by whoever, and that they are hostile. As the series progresses, they come to realize WHY they are being chased, and things like that.
Wow, that was deep o.o I guess when you really try and write a good book you think about these things. | |

| Here is the story, explanation form: When the main character, Richie, was born his parents gave him a puppy to grow up with him. it says some detail of their life, and it is their 13th birthday. Over the time the dog, Amy, is as big as Richie. His parents then say she is too old and must put her down. However she is as peppy as a two year old (dog). Richie refuses but his parents insist. He keeps Amy with him and stay up all night to make sure she isn't taken. In the morning the US SWAT team surrounds their house demanding the dog be given to the US government. His parents then send him to their basement which has a secret underground car that exits out a cave 5 miles away. The parents say he must go see his godparents, Martha and Colin, to find out the truth. The car has a camera of whats going on outside of their house. You see his dad exit the house but he gets shot. His mother then comes out crying to go help her husband, but she gets shot too. Richie and Amy both start crying the car the (on autopilot) takes them to a rural area in Canada (they are in california) ...you will have to find out the rest when I post it | |

| Oh, sounds good. So this is basically a 'Run away from government' story? Good, quite good. I have that kind of plot in my series too . . . it's like my staple or something. Well, I do see this being a two-book series, though a trilogy would be good . . . so Richie is going to live with his godparents? | |

| Oh, I get it. Well, you'll have to tell me, at least in PM's ^^ That's my problem, I don't often tell LuckE my plot ideas until it's too late . . . Well, yeah, it seems good so far. And is Amy REALLY as big as Richie? o.o She's have to be one of those giant dogs or something . . . | |
