    So I'd really like to write a story about Nicklas Bendtner, a stricker for Arsenal in the UK. I need some help trying to find a fresh idea. He's from Denmark but spends all of soccer/football season in London. He played for Denmark during the World Cup. I don't want to just write a story about some fan meeting a gorgeous football player. O think it'd be cool to make it more family orantated but I'm open to anything.

    If anyone could help, that'd be amazing. Thank you.

    I deal with this problem for almost all of my stories that I try to write. I get an amazing idea in my head and I start to plan everything for it. I make up the characters, because this is one of my favourite parts. Then I write maybe the firsts or second chapter, and then I get bored of it. I don't want to write about it anymore and then I'm stuck in a rut until the next great idea comes along. This has happened with a lot of my recent stories. If you have any suggestions or help, PM me? thank you

    Hey everybody, I'm looking for a mentor/shoulder to cry on/beta

    It's a bandfic (Muse, not slash) but you don't need to know absolutely anything about the band because the plot is happening in '96/'97 when they were teens (it's not a stupid high school fic I swear). 1/3 is already completed and I plan on posting once it's completed and polished.

    If you're interested, please PM me and I'll give you more details on the story. If you turn out not to be interested it's okay. If you do get interested I'll start mailing you chapters and you can give me ideas, ways to improve, you can absolutely make suggestions concerning anything.

    Thanks

    Just need someone I can brainstorm with about my new short story. It'll only be a couple of chapters long, I think, and I just need some place to get started. There's a couple of things I'm unsure of in terms of characters.

    PM me if you're interested in helping.


    Got help, thanks. Cute

    Please and Thanks.

    I'm currently working on The Royal Guard and the Royal Scoundrel and I'm becoming more and more displeased with it as I go. I'm really tired of making each chapter totally...to the point. They're about three or four pages on MS Word, but I still feel like they're too short.
    I've got the whole story plot, climax, and kiiind of ending, but so far, most of the chapters are kind of like...fast-paced. It would be like speed reading..
    I really need help on how to kick this habit. I really want to start writing stories that don't end after about ten chapters. ): I also don't like writing a bunch of fill-in chapters, because cut and dry, I stink at it. I know that there should be a few fill in chapters, but...not like, three in a row...
    I was thinking of just rewriting the whole thing, but I'm not sure about that...
    It's not just for this story either; I want to be able to write nice flowing other stories as well.

    Sorry for rambling...if you can offer help, then I'd like a PM, please (: Thank you oh so much!


    I've received help. Thank you! c:

    So I've been working on a story, I have two posts up; It's called Beautiful Demented. (There is a link in my signature.)

    Anyways, I basically want to bring back the horror to vampires, none of the sparkly, walk during the day bullshit. So I'm looking for someone to help me brainstorm, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to writing so doing drafts and coming up with where I want something to go is a bit difficult.

    PM me if you're interested!

    I've got a concept that has been picking at me.

    In short, it's about a boy who died at his peak and a girl who's destroying herself.

    The boy was a senior, a talented senior, who was very into theatre (and damn good at it).

    The girl is a sophomore or a junior, who is slowly curling into herself. She's not angsty, rather, sarcastic.

    The girl did not know the boy well, but she has a major fear of death, and therefore the boy felt that he needed to reassure her that he was all right. But he got stuck. So the story's about a girl and her ghost, and he's trying to fix her and she's trying to figure out how to help him "move on."

    It would be told from the girl's perspective, first person, with a very Invisible Monsters feel, I'd say.

    I need someone to bounce ideas off, mainly on the construction of the characters and mythology of ghosts.

    Please PM me if you are interested, thank you so much!

    I've decided to write a Slash, it's kinda of one of those stories that has the chronilogical order jumbled where you beging at the conflinct, then go back to how it started then meet back up to the begining and continue on. I have the idea in my head, I'm just wanting ideas on characters to use. I'm thinking some one from Asking alexandria, bring me the horizon, avenged sevenfold or escape the fate. Ideas?

    I want to write a story about partying / the typical teenage life-style. So far I've got this for the main character:
    -Name: Thomas "Atomic Tom" Bently.
    -What he does: Vocalist for a metal band that he's in with his best friends.
    -Hobbies: writing lyrics, drinking, partying, getting laid, singing, drawing, etc.
    -Age: 19.
    -Looks: Tall, scrawny, gray / blue eyes, brown shaggy hair that has bits of blond throughout, mostly towards his face and through his razored bangs. He has a wide smile, perfect teeth, and when he smiles to a great degree, his eyes crinkle. His lips are slightly thin, but not large either. They're the color of rose petals. A silver ring bites through his bottom lip on the right. His jawline is sharp and angular. His skin is alabaster and without any flaws. Except for a noticable freckle above his top lip on the left. Long story short, he's dreadfully handsome.

    For the plot. . . I'm not exactly sure. That's what I need help with. I want Tom to go through some traumatizing event that makes him change his perspective on life and become a better person than what he is.

    Please, PM me with your help!

    I need help with a story that I'm trying to rewrite. It's actually a big overhaul of an old, crappy AU MCR fan-fic that I've written when I was twelve. And reading it now, three years later, I realized that it sucked major shit. :\

    So that's why I'm here - because I really need help starting this baby out. I've been trying to write the first chapter for days, but everything I've written just doesn't seem to fit. I'm having some trouble trying to write how the main character's first day at the boarding school went along. And aside from that, I sort of have a clear view of the characters' relationships with each other, but they just don't seem real and believable. Can someone help me out with this?

    Please PM me and I'll give you more of the details.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    It's about a little girl who makes a promise not to move away from her best friend, and I'm on the second chapter, I know how the stories kind of going to go, but I need help brainstorming the next chapter. Because I fail right now, would like to right, and can't really think straight at the moment Facepalm

    If someone could please help me, that would be great! I would prefer if you contacted me via PM, but it doesn't matter to me.

    I know I might not have provided enough information, but I didn't want to give away the plot or anything...if you would like some more clarification, please PM and ask, or maybe read the story?

    Thanks in advance! Arms


    Found someone!

    I'd really like some help with my short story Little Red

    It's a twisted version of the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood where she is now sixteen and rather than an actual wolf, the wolf is a metaphor for an older man. It's 781 word so far but I need to get it to around 2,000 and I've kinda come to a halt as to what more I could add.

    Any ideas of what I could add to the plot or for filler would be greatly appreciated.

    Contacted by PM is preferred but I honestly don't mind how you contact me. Comment on the story is also fine.

    Thank you.

    I want to write a Genkai-centric Yu Yu Hakusho fanfiction, in which I'd like to include a (scientifically assisted) pregnancy that is essentially 'fathered' by another woman. If someone with knowledge of the series could PM me with their opinions on the matter, it would be great.
