sounds interesting, the one with the crystal reminds me of final fantasy(u know crystals and stuff) i once hada an idea of making a manga, had 2 themes one was sci-fi, something about a girl android(this was is really interesting, maybe i even resume this one, one day :P) and one was something shounen, like naruto, bleach and stuff.
Im having a contest with sora, who becomes more famous, me with my passion, or he with his thirst for money xD
