Topic. I would like my Story book to be about the Gods and their creation and how they got to be where they are today. some stories that I would like to include are the Stories of Ra the Egyptian sun god and the creation story of Zeus and the other greek gods. It should be very easy to find stories about them and other gods as well. I still have not decided if I want to tell just one pantheon's story or if i want to make up my own story about how the greek gods got put over the greek people and the Egyptian Gods got put over Egypt so on and so on with each pantheon.

Possible styles-
Town meeting. My first idea is that i could have each of the gods come up to a council and give their case of they they should be the god a thing ( the sun of sky for example ) and a place ( Egypt for example) this way the god could tell their own story and there could be a discussion of some sort between the council and then they will decide where they could go.
Camping trip. In this style of story I would have a number of gods preferably all of the same thing just different pantheons on a trip with maybe their sons and daughter. They would all sit around the camp fire and tell the story of how they became the god of the, in this example lets say sky, and why they are better at being the god of the sky than all the other gods of the sky. this could make for some very interesting conversation and i could have the gods interrupting each other to add some humor
Dating show. This style would be a very fun way to wright. To do this I would be rewrite the creation story of each god that I pick while keeping their Characteristics the same. Then I would have game show match them each up with a location or a thing of some sort. this would have some humor in it and could be pretty funny all though it could be very tough to write.
My last idea is kind of a strange one but here it goes. Macy's thanksgiving day parade. So for this each of the gods will be a flout or a balloons of some sort in the parade. As they go by the announcers would give different facts about the gods and how they came to be telling their creation stories. This would involve a lot of dialog.
