Looking to brainstorm

Hey guys. I've got a novel I've been working on for a couple years now (almost done, woohoo!) but sometimes I just want to take a break from a huge project like that and work on something a bit more satisfying in the short term. So I've been thinking about writing a story for here.

Sadly, I'm a little short on ideas currently. I saw an older topic about creating an idea pool, but as far as I could tell nothing really came of it, so I'll ask. Is there anything you've been wanting to see in a story? If you're a writer yourself, maybe it's an idea you've never had time for or couldn't quite get to work how you wanted. Or maybe it's just a story you've always wanted to read without having to write it yourself.

I'll see what I can come up with myself, of course, but I'm curious what anyone else thinks.

Hello DS

I'll repeat what I've proposed in the thread you reffered..

I'd love to read a story which implied girl/girl jealousy and/or unfairness !

For exemple a family with two sisters and one of them (the younger) is gaining superpowers coupled with godlike sexiness..

Eventually the same scenario with two girl friends..

The one with all the luck can be bitchy with thé other or rather simpathetic.

Hope you'll find the inspiration

Bye

I would be glad to contribute, but since the site is going to move today. I think it's better to wait for a while before starting.

That's a really good point. Sounds like a plan, then. Who knows, maybe I'll think of something by the time the DNS changes. :)

I've always wanted to write a story about a badgirl who comes good. Perhaps after a long career as super criminal she could start trying to help people, only to freak them out. Like police shooting at her instead of the real criminals at a heist she's breaking up, or something like that.

I hope you find an idea to run with. We can never have enough writers here, mate...so I'm glad to hear you're planning something!

This may seem like an odd one for this site-but an idea for a superprison, where they have to keep someone really locked up...

Nope no way she can escape.

Not going to happen.

i mean common think about the world if she got out of it....

Perhaps a twist on the following:

Maybe one develops the godlike powers, and the other develops the godlike sexiness, and they have to deal with that: normal-looking sister saves the world, but the world assumes that the beautiful one did it!

If I remember right this was the basic premise of one of, now sadly defunct, Sophie's blogs.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've got a couple of ideas now and I'm about 500 words into my first piece. We'll see how it goes!

Just wanted to loop back to this. I'm still working on it - unfortunately, it's likely going to be a couple more weeks, due to obligations to my other writing and my real-life job keeping me busy. Still, I think you'll enjoy what I"ve got once I loop back to it.
