POLL: Which NaNoWriMo plot should I go with this year?

[Poll #1285529]

The fantasy novel concerns a cook who has a pot that produces small amounts of manna, the uber-food of the Gods, and the story of how she left the King's service and what happens to her when agents of the Church track her down. It also has a fair amount of religious content, since the nature of the Gods of different worlds is central to the plot.

The dystopian SF novel concerns our own world in the not-too-distant future, after a PETA-type organization seeded the world with a virus that makes eating meat impossible, but also ensures that anyone who feels any stong negative emotion gets sick and dies. The plot concerns a small group of terrorists immune to the virus who have set out to create a counter-virus and destroy civilization as they know it.

I'm really torn between the two, so I thought a poll would be fun and possibly helpful.

Both are intriguing ideas, but I think the dystopian sci-fi has more scope. I love the idea of terrorists and counter-terrorists and meat eating being conflated with strong negative emotions. It sounds great.

I had to flip a pencil- er...'coin'. Love both ideas as they both have tons of promise as stories.

Coin toss says: Sci fi Dystopia, please :-D
