Two teenagers become famous overnight when the Old Gods return and choose them as heroes, defenders of the Old Religion. But the old ways have been forgotten, and the Gods are not as kind as legend remembers them.

On the Other Side of Sunset
What is happening in the distance when one looks out at the sunrise and sunset? What if there was a land that only appeared as part of the regular earth when the sun rises and sets? What if someone from that land looked back out at you and you had the chance to visit that land? Children on each side have heard stories about opposite sides, but neither know if the other is real.
That's pretty much all I have for notes in my idea journal, but I vaguely remember deciding that the person on the other side of the sunset was going to be the person on "our side's" sibling, or just someone they'd have a romantic interest in...though I think I had decided on it being their sibling (I originally thought of it being a pair of twins with one on each side, a boy and a girl). Let me know if you decide to use it! I'd love to see what you write. ^_^

teenage sons outgrow their graves
This was a typo in a post in another thread, but I am bringing it here cause it was so interesting:
A lady needs to get bigger graves every other week for her two teenage sons, who have outgrown their last ones.
If you take this, NaNo mail me so I can follow and give you support!

The Locked Room
I had a very vague idea based on a dream I had. I was in a house with no stairs. Instead, each door had two locks and depending on which one was locked, the door led to a different room.
So in the story a large family moves in, but they don't get the key to one of the rooms. The main character ends up with the room opposite that one. I never did figure out what was in there so the story never went anywhere, but if anyone else can think of anything interesting you're free to run with it.

american colonization - with elves
On a world with two (or more) continents, one continent is inhabited by humans and the other one by elves. For reasons which will become obvious, I'm going to refer to them as "Europe" and "America", respectively, although I imagine it as a completely different world so I don't have to think about how much research it would take to place it in something approximating the real world.
A long time ago, even by elven standards, they were a normal society, but then they had a massive war over who would lead them, leading to widespread destruction of America and near-extinction of the elves themselves. The remaining elves, being mostly the elves who'd wanted to avoid war in the first place and even more put off the idea of politics by the war, unanimously decided to do away with it. No elf was going to give orders to anybody else ever again; they got rid of their government and laws and rebuilt their society drastically different than it was before. It's hard for the elves who were around before the War, because they have to completely relearn how to live, but the elves who are born after the War have no problem accepting it because it's the only thing they've experienced. The new society is based on lots and lots of politeness, because if you offend somebody there's no law saying they can't do whatever they want to you, and people tend to band together to stop those who abuse their freedom by hurting others needlessly.
Humans and elves have the same ability to use magic, but because elves live for so much longer than humans, thousands of years, they mastered its use earlier. After the War they practically rebuilt America from the ground up--it was a wasteland, and they made it into mostly a massive forest of gigantic trees, which most of their homes are situated in. They use magic all the time--you name it, they probably use magic to do it, because their society is so individualistic that it's hard to coordinate to do group tasks. In comparison, humans use very little magic. Everybody might know one spell, like firestarting or something useful like that, but everything above that level is only taught at the university level.
The "present" of this plot corresponds to when Europe began colonizing the Americas IRL. In this world, the Europeans come over, start settling in...and eventually (a few years or decades later, after the Europeans have started to settle in) an elf wanders over to find out what's going on, and the two cultures try to make sense of each other.
