Possible Styles:
A servant or bystander as the storyteller. I would like a servant or bystander to be the storyteller because I believe that they know a lot more than they are credited for. They are like a fly on a wall. People believe servants are insignificant or inferior to them thus they believe that servants will never amount to anything dangerous or threatening. Therefore , they believe that they can do whatever in front of them and be safe when really servants probably know the most because they are everywhere and have access to almost everywhere.
Mortals & Immortals. My storybook will most definitely have to include both mortals and immortals. It cannot just be about Gods and Goddesses or just immortals. The importance of this is to see the relationship between Gods and Man. I wish the reader to be able to see how Gods relate to people. It could be a romantic relationship or a maternal or paternal relationship.
War. I would like some type of war or obstacle to be in my storybook as well. I want my characters to develop as the story progresses. It would add onto the plot. It could be a war between the Gods and other Gods and Goddesses or between the immortals and mortals or just among the mortals. I'm pretty lenient about what kind of conflict it can be. It could even be an internal war in someone.
Other than Earth. My storybook could take place anywhere even where the Gods reside, such as the underworld or Mount Olympus. It does not have to on Earth. The significance of this is that it will allow readers to know where and how Gods live. It will also allow a lot of imagery.
