New story excitement

I’ve been reading and watching a lot of paranormal material lately — Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight, J. R. Ward’s Lover Awakened (which was awesome, btw) and the first season of Supernatural. Also through talking to other writers and some assorted teens, I’ve learned that paranormal and manga are the two hot areas with young adult readers right now. So, all these things were swirling in my head and eventually a story idea started to creep out of the mist — random images, slices of character, bits of a plot. Yesterday, I sat down at my laptop and started typing up all these ideas, and as I did more information crawled out of the recesses of my brain. I ended up with about four pages of notes before I got so tired last night I had to crawl off to bed. I’d been up late reading so much lately that I was a wee bit sleep-deprived. Today, after hubby (who took the day off from work) and I finish grilling out and enjoying our meal beneath our gigantic sycamore tree, I’m going to go back over the notes, see if I can add any more at this point, and begin writing the first chapter. I’m excited about the story, so I’m hoping the pages just fly.

For those of you who read paranormal, what is your favorite kind of paranormal story?
