Fate of the Slayers
I'm thinking of starting the rewrite of A magic touch, which has been retitled Of secrets and hidden lives, soon and one of the changes I'm still unsure of is what should happen with the whole Slayer plot, I've started to write a few chapters of the story and at this point I need to make a decision on whether the Slayers should go or stay and what should happen if they do stay. With how I'm going I could easily remove the whole Slayer element and replace it with just a conspiracy revolving around the Saxton family.
I also am unsure of what should happen to my Muse characters, since the last chapter I have finally pinned down an original plot line from them to exist in their own world and I want to keep their new backstory, but if I do I don't think they can be Slayers anymore, or even teachers. (If you want to look at the story plot summary you can go to my FictionPress account, which has the same name as this account, it's in a story which contains summaries of each of my original stories.) As stated in my last chapter of ideas I'm thinking of Hogwarts gaining a fifth house when the Potters go and a recent idea is for it to be named the Vagabond house in honour of the Vagabonds, a pranking vigilante group who got justice on bullies, and Maria Wild is called in to be the head of house as she is the last living member of the original Vagabonds; and I don't think that Maria can be a Slayer/teacher at Slayer school at the same time without running me into some serious writer's block.
In the last chapter of ideas I suggested that Sirius Black be on a Slayer team with the Saxton sister's mother and one other, since then I've realised that a lot of the ideas that I wrote were half formed and the implications not thought through entirely; like why the Slayers would leave Sirius locked up in Azkaban when they would be able to break him out among other things. So I don't know if Sirius and the mother should be Slayers, even if I do end up keeping the Slayers. Another thing is the whole thing about the mother, who I've named Ailith, to tell the truth I'd never really had much planned for her other than her disappearance affecting her daughters' lives and thought that what happened to her would just drop onto my lap as I wrote the story but it didn't, the most I've got was that she was originally going to be the one who swapped the Potter and Wormwood daughters in the prologue; but since then I've defined her abilities and such a little more and she no longer fits. I don't know if Ailith should be kidnapped, just missing, dead, or purposely avoiding her daughters and the reasons behind each of those fates.
Another thing is the truth about what happened to Vida and Layla that led them to live with their aunt and uncle, I know it had already been explained but there was meant to a deeper context to it. At first it was the dad going mad with grief and then harming his daughters, then it was him becoming a Demon, then it was one of his girl friends who turned out to be a Demon who either turned him or killed him, then it was the dad just killing himself from grief and their scars were just from the separation process from each other after they were born. Then there was how they became adopted by Kenny and Martha, I didn't know whether it should be just a simple adoption as closest blood relative, the two running to the streets and getting caught by Kenny when they try to pickpocket him, or something else. Another thing I'm not sure about is the Saxton sisters physical aspects, I don't know whether the hair and eye colour should come when they transform or be their original colours (by the way they'll transform when they hit puberty or on their birthday close to it as apposed to when they turn ten). Another thing is whether they should hide their true selves, the rewrite won't have a Muse academy for them and the Weasley twins to retreat to, if the Slayers don't exist I would make them not hide their true selves as they are meant to be proud of what they look like, but if they do exist then I don't know.
I currently have a pole up with a few options that you can vote of, which includes whether the Slayers should stay and if the Muses should be Slayers or not, I just wrote this to give a more detailed explanation and to get opinion as to what direction I should take my story in terms of the Slayers.
