Story Brainstorming + Mentoring

I have a short chaptered story that I want to write for a contest. I have ideas for the beginning, and the end, but not the middle. It's mostly a sci-fi.

Set in the late 2900s, Britain (Britannia) has become a large super power, controlling about three quarters of the world. Japan is taken over and there's unrest in the country. Japanese high school student, Mari wants to become a scientist for Britannia's space program but a lot of her peers look down on her for this.

At the end, she becomes a scientist and develops a fully functional colony in space. Around 1000 people live there for a significant amount of time. When Earth is hit with a large meteor shower and the whole population is wiped off, Mari is seen as a hero for saving mankind.

It can be any length of chapters, but it needs to be done by March 2nd. I don't know if this is doable or not, so I need any other ideas! That would be appreciated very much. ^^ Oh, and just PM please and thank you! :D

I'm working on a story of mine currently called Fairytale Gone Wrong. It's a twisted Atlantis story that takes place in the 18th century. Basically, Atlantis was not thriving and the civilization turn to cannibalism. The gods condemned them to the sea to remain predators there to keep other humans safe. The curse is to remain in the water and bound to the city.

I have an idea of where I want the story to go.
What I need is
-an idea on how to break curses.
-Filler ideas, mainly to build the relationship between the protagonist and the antagonists.

Yeah, so all I need are idea's.

PM please.
Cheers.

ignore.

I'm going to turn this thread the other way and offer myself for bouncing off!

I have a little bit of time at the moment, but probably won't in the next three or four weeks (writing group will have started up again, and I've just started the draft of my new novel). If you have a short story or a few chapters of a contemporary work that you would like me to have a look at, please PM me.

Vampires/paranormal, sci fi and fantasy are not my forte - it would be best to look elsewhere if you write this genre for a meaningful comment! :)

So I've started this story called An Angel's Mission. It's about an angel being born into the human world to kill all vampires(The Devil's Angels). She lost her memories and voice. I just need someone to 'bounce' idea's off of. Please consider that the vampires are not sparkily kind.

I would also like to stress that just because I am a fourteen year old girl doesn't mean I can't write a meaningful story.

I would prefer someone that would give good feedback, tell me where I can improve.

Please?

I recently wrote a little summary for an original fiction that I've been planning for a while. The thing is, I'm not really sure of if I'm giving enough information for the summary or if it's any good (I'm kinda new to chaptered original fiction) and I was wondering if someone could maybe PM me and take a look at it and see if I'm giving enough information?

So my boyfriend's birthday is coming up, and since I have no money to buy him a gift I decided to write him a story. But I haven't written in so long and everything I try to put together is crap.

I know I want it to be a love story, with him and I as the main characters. Please help with ideas? I'll be sure to give you credit if I use yours!

I'm working on an Avenged Sevenfold piece and I'm looking for someone to read it as I write it and tell me what they think about it ad especially about the characters. Please PM if you decide to help. (:

I'm really stuck on my story Dear James. I'm 17 chapters in, and I don't know what to do with it next, because I don't want to abruptly end it. I think it has potential. If anyone would be willing to read it and send me a PM with some ideas and/or constructive criticism, I would owe you!

Okay, I would really love some help developing the main character of a story I'm working on. I don't need help with plot development at this time because the story of very new and I'm still working out where it's going right now, so I only need assistance for the main character.

Her name is Sumi Cruz. She's thirty-four, going through a divorce, in between careers and just moved back to her hometown in an attempt to reconnect with her roots.

The story is eventually going to be a romance/drama, femmeslash incest. HOWEVER, you don't have to deal with any aspect of those things if you don't want to. While I would love to discuss the mentality behind Sumi's incestuous feelings that she'll get later on, it is NOT mandatory.

For the most part I just want to develop her as a character with a personality. I am extremely open to criticism, however harsh it is, as long as you'll gimme a hand.

Please contact me via PM, and we can either discuss things there or over instant messengers. Thank you!

I'm so stuck with just getting my story started. It's about a girl going through high school, starting in her freshman year. If anyone knows anything about high school stories, I would love some help with where a good idea to begin would be, and how to properly introduce the main character.

Also, for a different story, I just would like some input. What would be easier for a novice writer? 3rd or 1st person?

I started an original fiction story called Smile, the World Loves You and I'm having trouble with it.

I'd like to get help because I feel like I'm not writing it well enough. The first chapter is really dense, and I'd just like advice on developing it better.

Please PM me if you can help. :)

Hi everyone! I'm looking to see how my story (its only 2 chapters so far) is developing. Am i moving too fast? Did i skip too much? Is it realistic? Is my girl too Mary Sue?

Overall, can you tell me what im doing wrong? and where do i need to improve?

The link to the story can be found here!

Thank you!
You can reply on story comments, PM, or profile comments!
Thank you again!!

I have a new story idea kind of based on the song The Kids Aren't Alright by The Offspring. Basically it's going to be a short story, between 8-10 chapters long, and each chapter will focus on one kid when they're young and the next chapter will focus on them when they're older.

I'd just really like someone to kind of bounce ideas off of because I don't really know where to start and the tense in which it should be written in. There are a couple of kinks I'd like to work out first before I start writing.

If you're interested in helping, please PM me as soon as possible.

I've been kind of bouncing around ideas in my head of an MCR fic based off the I'm Not Okay video. I have a few key scenes in mind, but I definately need more and I'd like someone to bounce ideas off of. Also, I want to definately use some steriotypes, but not abuse them, you know? So if someone could help me sort that out... that would be amazing

I find that through peer editing you yourself can become a better writer, but I like to help out too.So I'm offering to became a beta for anyone who needs one. I'll only do five stories at a time, so right now I have four slots open. I prefer to work with anyone who is determine to finish their story. That's the only requirement really. So PM me if you would like me to help.

I'll update this as slots are filled.

I need help on this story, both on plot development and getting my characters more in detail. I have a very basic idea on my characters, but an even less idea on my plot.

I would love for someone to please PM me if you could help me. I will probably love you forever and ever.

I need help titling an unfinished one-shot about a couple's first time. Any help? I've got a bit of it finished, if anyone wants to take a look and give some suggestions.

PM me please.

Edit, found the Story Title Help thread.

Hey guys! Okay so I have really solid characters in mind but kind of an iffy plot to go along with this sci-fi/mystery story. So if someone would like to help me get my plot together and help me start it? I've tried starting it twice on here but it was either to rushed or not detailed so just PM me :) Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
