Title: It's All Relative
Genre: I'm going to go with fantasy, but it has elements from different genres.
Overall Rating: PG-13
Comments/Warnings: Read Comment Guidelines here. Constructive criticism is welcome, but please be tactful, I'm not really in the mood to deal with unjustified snark at the moment.
Summary: IAR is an "anime in prose". I suppose it is still just a story, but IAR doesn't fit into it's own category of what defines a  story in terms of genre. It has a bit of everything. Love, Magic, and people with animal ears... 
Our "magical" girl, Sora Kainomori has no powers. She has no time to save the world between midterms, finals, boyfriend issues, parties, and everything the average freshman in college has to deal with. Her friends aren't really into the whole saving the world thing either. But as darkness threatens to cover the world, will our heroes rise to the challenge and restore peace to the world?
Hell yeah they will.
 Or they might...maybe after finals...

Okay, so I posted a question not too long ago and people really helped me out.  So I tried a little bit of several ideas and would like some input on it.

Here's the link to the post and the edit to the post: http://community.livejournal.com/writers_loft/7158.html 

And, if you don't want to click the link, I'll copy and paste it:

Here's the overview of what's wrong at the moment:
 My main character, Aria, is currently walking through a forest with a friend trying to escape the protagonist that is undoubtedly chasing her.  In two days she will run into the rest of her wandering group.  The problem is how to pass those two days and still include the two plot-developing dreams that happen during that time.

So, any ideas are very welcome.  Even referring me to a book that does something like that will help me tremendously.  Err, yes... thank  you.

 

I'm going to say that I like the idea of a partial jump as well as the one sentence coverage.  Perhaps something like:

Aria and her companion walked through the day.  Although she was far more tired than she expected, their surroundings seemed too similar for them to have gone very far even though ____ (he has no name yet >.<'') had assured her that this logical conclusion was far from the truth.

When she settled in that night, she prepared for another rough night on the ground and was rather surprised when she found herself... (enter dream sequence)

Does this sound acceptable?
