What Do You Think of My Story Idea?

That could be really interesting, as long as you know enough about the sport that she will be taking up. If she's going to end up in softball then make sure you know the different pitches and terminology or it won't make the story believable enough.

*******************************************************************************************

The story starts off in a setting called "The Six Halls of Death" (trying to think of a better title but it's all I got). When people die they are sent there and the "workers" there sort the new deaths into the six halls according to their karma. One girl swears that she will live a better life if she gets another chance (died of a drug OD). She gets reincarnated into a 16 year old girl when she dies on a plane but the main character takes over her body.

I dunno, that's all I got.

I really like the idea of the six halls - I think that's interesting and very original, though I think you need to try and figure out more about what will happen to the girl once she has been reincarnated. I like the sound of it though. :)

The story is set in Viking times, and, when a girl's village is raided, she gets taken off to work as a slave. Just before the ship is due to set sail, the captain is murdered, and all the evidence points to the girl's boyfriend from the village, who she thought she would never see again. He is then captured and taken off somewhere to be executed for his crime, and it's up to the girl to find him and rescue him. (It still needs a lot of work doing to it, and a lot more research.) :D

It's really vague - so I can't find fault in what you have. I think the time period will make for an interesting story though.

A struggling stand up commedian named Clive chanels his emotions through his dog Bennet. When his mother moves in with him due to financial problems, Clive forces himself to put more focus on his dream (atleast until he gets enough money to get her out of his appartment). He ends up becomming a small sucess and he and Bennet go on the road as part of a stand up comedy tour. While touring, his agent Nancy tells him that he has a problem and forces him to go to a therapist. He agrees, saying that "Bennet" has a lot on his chest. Clive continues to take Bennet to therapy which ends up helping him deal with his own issues.

It is very interesting and I don't think I have ever read anything like it so you get an A in originality. I would defintely read it if you put it our there. The thing I like the most about it is the way you talk about Clive's relationship with his dog.

A story about three married couples:
The Perfect Marriage:
This husband and wife have been together since they were kids and got married straight out of high school. There marriage is perfect, it's just everything else that is falling apart. Both are clinging to keep hold of their jobs and they are trying to make their money last as much as possible because it is slowly running out. And on top of that, the girl's mother won't stop harrasing them about having a child.
The Adultry Marriage:
This couple only got married because one of them was an activist for Gay Rights so when New York passed the law to allow her to marry her girlfriend she couldn't not get married. Ever since they both have been sleeping with other people, only keeping their marriage alive for the papers.
The New Marriage:
These two young husbands have just gotten back from their honeymoon and are about to face the cruel reality of what marriage is really about. Whose paying what, whose cooking dinner, which side of the bed do you prefer?
I wanted to show marriage at several POV that is why there is a straigt couple, lesbian couple and a gay couple.

I actually really love this idea. I've had a similar idea for a story before. I definitely think it's very unique and it would be interesting to read a story from the several different perspectives of these married couples, particularly because it deals with a group of adult relationships rather than teenage relationships. Those are much more interesting to me.

Brian loses his fiancee Michelle in a car accident on their anniversary. He is wracked with guilt, as you can imagine, and instantly blames himself for causing the accident and becomes unable to move on with his life. Several months later, a group of angels send an angel-in-training down to earth, disguised as a human, to try and make Brian move on with his life. The angel's name is April and if she can succeed in her mission, she'll finally "get her wings".

It sounds like it's been done, and sounds a tad familiar. But, that isn't always a bad thing! Reminds me of The Ghost Whisper, but that might be just me. I think with unique and extraordinary details and twists, to make up for the overdone, it could turn out really great.

I want to write a story that takes place in the Playboy Mansion (I'm thinking 1960's, 1970's, or the 1980's) and revolves around one of Hugh Hefner's main girlfriend's time she spent there. I haven't got much to this idea yet, but I'm leaning towards this girl having some sort of roadblock in her life (drug addiction? dependence of liquor? self-esteem insecurities?). From what I've read, Hef is controlling, or can be if he feels he'll lose the girl he's controlling, and I think that the plot will also include her trying to disconnect from the Playboy lifestyle after realizing it isn't what she wants for herself. Scandalous, I swear.

Sounds uh mediocre. I think I've read something like that before.

.......

I want to do a Watchmen and Saw mash up. Where Rorschach is forced to go through his tests and try to bring the Jigsaw Killer o justice who he been hunting for years.

Would you just be using Rorschach? I think it may be more interesting if you included characters like Doctor Manhattan too, but I do think those fandoms would work well together.

I'm thinking of writing a story about someone burying a body, and flashing back between the present tense of the actual burial, and the past tense, of when the death occurred. It would definitely have an unreliable narrator, allowing for a twist at the end.

I like the idea of an unreliable narrator doing it with all the time shifts. It would definitely keep readers guessing throughout the story, up until the twist at the end.

I've been mulling over this one for a while.

For centuries magic was a well-hidden secret kept by those who could use it, but in the future the magic users have been found out. Since the magic users have a supply of magic that replenishes itself quickly, people saw this as an opportunity to use them as a power source. Things eventually went to where magic was the main supply of energy. Converters were made so that magic could used directly as power. Magic was also used as a way to aid pre-existing forms of renewable energy.

The government saw a different use for the magic users: weapons. The government started taking the children of magic users and placing them in facilities to be trained to use their magic as the government sees fit. The government tracks down the people with magic using gadgets that can detect traces of the energy left behind from them. Parents obviously don't want their kids to be taken away, so they run and hide. If they get found the adults get killed and their records erased, and the children are taken.

My main character was a child when she was left in the forest just out-side the city by her parents. She is now a teen. She was protected by the unusual amount of magic energy the forest gives off, thereby, hiding her own energy. The forest seems to be a living thing. She has learned to live with the forest and it has helped her. She is found out when some non-magical children from the city get lost and she helps them out of the forest using her magic. The children tell their parents about what happened and tell the government. The main character is suddenly thrown into a facility. Not liking being held in that place, she is trying to find a way out for herself and the others.

@ The Door Knobs Bite
Its a very interesting world that you've described. I do wonder what would happen once shes out of the facility.

I want to do a cross over story of Castle, Psych and Charmed where the characters involved all sort of know each other, kind of six degrees of separation and theyve crossed paths in the past. Im not sure whether it should show their paths crossing or whether it should all just be set in the present when they all run into each other again.

In reply to Poirot, I've never heard of any of those three but judging by the running-into-one-another bit, I'd say it'll fall flat unless there's another bit of backstory.

I'm tired and writing straight from my head, so hear me out. It's starting with this character Eleven and his ten synthetically dreaming colleagues in an office building in an undetermined location. Eleven, thus far, is watching a news report on the SmartScreen. The rest of them are frozen in stasis, dreaming, not physically real until their return. It's a sort of Dali-Adams fantasy, a cross between the paintings of said artist (Salvador) and the books by said author (Douglas). My sort of thing. Lots of time travel, mysterious voices, clocks, science, tragedy, possible murder, birds, black-and-white, and businessmen.

Sounds intriguing. I love time travel.

I've wanted to do this story for a while. It's during the Old West. A bounty hunter, who is known for keeping nearly all his bounties alive, is now after an infamous bank robber. The bank robber is the leader of a gang of other bank robbers, and the bounty on this person is very high. As it turns out, the bank robber is actually a woman masquerading as a man.

So as of recently my interest has been on the band The 1975; perfect for a girl like moi who's (obsessed with the 80's and 90's too much).
I saw that unfortunately there aren't any stories involving any of the band on here or the web for that matter. Then later on as I was in my head, thinking of the idea of writing a Matt Healy story, and came along a plot that seemed too intriguing to pass by.So my question to you guys is, would anyone be interested, or let alone excited by the idea? Would anyone think of reading such a thing, haha?

You're supposed to comment on my idea before posting your own. It sounds intriguing, though.

I really like that idea. I like mystery and action stories a hella lot, especially in the Old West and far future. Feel free to link it on my comments, I'll check it out ::weird

I'm trying to do two ideas.
-

1. For some reason, that sounds almost like Incarceron, at least with the cube thing. I like the premise and I like the idea. It has a lot of room for intrigue and has the potential for a fantastic plot.
2. Would it be comical like Psithurisma? Or deep, brooding, and philosophical? It sounds interesting. You always have cool ideas, and I think you'd do well writing either of those.

I was thinking about writing a post-apocalyptic (OR an alternate universe) story wherein fuel has run out (not the main cause of the apocalypse, however) and most vehicles, aside from a few specially tailored vehicles, are next to useless and electricity is rare. A sort of silk road has been reestablished, but instead of silk, technological remnants are traded from the few reestablished factories/wherever everything comes from to the more flooded and devastated areas. Then the main character, part of this trade route, stumbles upon a physicist who's discovered a revolutionary new...thing (written in papers) and the rest of the plot revolves around trying to protect these theories (or whatever) and to transport them to where they need to go.
I just thought of it five minutes ago

I love it. I really, really would like to see that.

I'm working on this idea about a Necromancer, who has been jailed as a exception to the recent outlawing of magic use. He's not really powerful, is young and somewhat clumsy, typical dude. I really dunno what it's to be about, I just really like Necromancers.

Sounds really cool. I've been debating doing a witch/wizard story myself.
Side note: the other day I was trying to think of the word "necromancer" but all I could come up with was "necrophelia"

Oh wow. This might take a minute.

A fantasy set in a completely different universe. There are thirteen gods which rule over 9 homeworlds. Four of those homesworlds house their own race (giants, humans, elves, dwarves) and one of those acts as a "communal" homeworld for the four races to intermingle. The main character, Leo, is a prince on the communal homeworld of Har. There, he is heir to his father's throne, but the kingdom is at war with the kingdom of IzGrav, which is ruled by the Ice Queen--a demigod. When the king is murdered and Leo is to blame, he has to flee the country as a traitor and stop the End Times from occurring by preventing events foretold in a prophecy when the universe was first born.

I like it, but it seems a bit complicated for how simple the base plot of international war is. There should be something else, something more sinister.

I combined two story titles earlier and came up with the phrase hunting for eyes, which turned into this:

• In an alternate present in a city of glass, ragtag groups of blind mutants called Lab Rats wander in search of Seeing men, whose eyes they proceed to remove as compensation for their blindness. Vision is rare and valued highly, coveted; black-market "Corrective" surgeries are skyrocketing and disease runs rampant among the homeless badly Corrected.
  
  One young woman, a half-Seeing surgeon's daughter who had sold her left eye for a sum of #1000, must discover what it is like to love a girl who will never know her face and to protect a faling civilisation from imminent disaster not from apocalypse or war, but from a festering wound deep within.

That sounds like a really interesting idea. I think the fact that seeing is coveted rather than being one of the basic senses that almost everyone has use of is really intriguing, especially when you have the surgeon's daughter only having half of her sight. I'd definitely read it.

I've had this idea in my head for ages, but never really fleshed it out properly until yesterday evening. I was listening to You Found Me by The Fray when I thought it up initially. Essentially, the story will focus on a young man who has been killed in a car crash of his own fault, but doesn't know it yet. He's left completely on his own in a deserted Glasgow crossroads, but shortly thereafter finds a young woman who doesn't seem to have a name and looks incredibly familiar to him. Through a series of snapshots, this man is shown all of the negative actions he took to lead up to this and in the end, will be given a choice that will be incredibly difficult to live with either way.
