Balancing Act Balancing Jack Then each title could be along the lines of ![]() His early days were more about retribution; punishment must fit the crime; use your car to destroy, he destroys your car. Throw things off the overpass to kill, get killed being thrown off the overpass. Something along the lines of retribution? Early jack was about fairness. No grown man should have to stand in his lawn and cry, the unfairness of it ate at Jack. Fair Play as a series; and then work Fair into all the titles of the books. Jack's rage has always been his fuel. He has to get angry to act. He is most dangerous when he is enraged. Maybe something about coldfire, stoke the flames, burning anger. You could watch Jack's struggles to mature and keep that anger in check and always fail gloriously. At this time in his life, he is developing towards adult Jack. He is shaping the attitudes that lead him to create a nation of one, to become a nonentity, but not there yet. We will start to see the situations that led him to want the life he will create for himself. Independence is way too cheesy, but maybe along the lines of liberation or control of your destiny or control; the one thing Jack wants most and acheives least. Jack always works in the shadows. Hiding in Shadows, Shadow Master, Stealing Shadows, etc. Same thing could work with Secrets. I am just thinking out loud, the previous ideas are awesome. Just wanted to take this in a new direction for giggles. YA Jack series - HELP - Keith the Elder - 06-04-2006 Manda_W Wrote:Maybe something along the lines of balance. This is sound reasoning!!!

How about "Prepareman Jack"? Just kidding. RIK YA Jack series - HELP - Mike Hanson - 06-04-2006 Roger Zelazny created three great jacks: ShadowJack (in his novel JACK OF SHADOWS) DonnerJack (in his novel of the same name) HalfJack (in his short story of the same name) My fave fan entry so far in this contest I think I've seen in two different posters' lists, and that is: "JACKED IN." It seems to fit that 1980's vibe, with the allusions to the classic cyberpunk novel NEUROMANCER, as well as actually stating what is happening to the young Jack, i.e., he's getting "jacked in" to this proactive righter-of-wrongs mentality/lifestyle... Mike YA Jack series - HELP - Silverfish - 06-04-2006 An Alternate Career My Guidance counselor told me to go into business My Guidance counselor told me to start my own business ...too long, but I like the idea. I also like Just Jack. I don't think today's YA would necessarily get the Will & Grace reference. (Which is a good thing.) Stephanie |
