What Do You Think of My Story Idea?

I can't resist a good Sirius/Remus. I especially like the part about the Order itself. I'd read it.

Four guys in a band move into an isolated mansion to write songs for their first album. While they are there, they find out things about each other and themselves. It would be a character-driven, coming of age story in form of the reminiscence of the guitarist fourteen years later.

The flashback form is an awesome idea, and I like the concept. It sort of reminds me of the music video for 30 Seconds To Mars' "The Kill," except without people going crazy

My lab partners in physics gave me this idea when I was educating them on fanfiction. Basicly, all the Harry Potter books were a lie, and instead of there being an epilogue, Harry wakes up in an insane asylum after carving a lightning bolt into his forehead and yelling about killing the Dark Lord. Dumbledore is his doctor, and JK Rowling heard about him, so she decided to come and visit him, turning his fantasy into a best selling fiction series.

Yes, I totally just copied/pasted, but I want more imput xD

That is hysterical

I say go for it for sure!!!

Mine is a remake of Cinderella where the guys from Metallica are the leads

That or The Little Mermaid featuring Judas Priest.

Oh wow... There's not much for me to judge off of from that description, but I'd read it. I'm interested to see where that would go.

A Belldom (Matthew Bellamy/Dominic Howard from Muse) that centers around Matthew losing touch with reality through strange, vivid hallucinations, Dominic trying to help him, and the strain that it puts on their relationship. It will also touch on Matthew's mixed feelings about fighting back or embracing his new "reality", and whether he could be psychotic, truly insane, or even a supernatural explanation. I've not yet decided if it will be AU or not, but it will be told in the third person.

ignore.

Ice Queen.:

I think that sounds SUPER interesting. The way you describe it makes it sound really original. I really like the idea.

I'm thinking of writing a series of short stories (a collection in one book, since I might try to get it published), that are connected only by the fact that all of the stories will take place in record stores. I've only really planned out the first piece, but I do know that they'll all be connected by the record stores. I think it's going to be called Vinyl.

If this has any connection to the excerpt you posted on the Rate the Story Game thread, I think it's amazing. It's a really interesting concept, and not really something I've seen done before. Also, I love collections of short stories that have a universal theme. So yeah, this sounds like a really great idea.

It's about four friends who are kind of very nerdy, except two of them are more geeky than nerdy, but I digress. The basic plot is one of them finds a piece of paper stuffed into their locker with a cryptic message on it, and when they work out what it's supposed to say, it turns out to be a clue. The clue leads them to another clue, which leads them to another clue, and so on, until they're in a full blown treasure hunt without knowing what they're hunting for or who's giving them the clues. It's gonna be quite light-hearted and funny, but slightly dark and sinister too, and there will be a lot of references to nerdy things.

Personally, I love your idea!
I love stories about nerds/geeks, real ones, not just girls who wear glasses and read To Kill a Mockingbird or something. It's a quirky idea, and the plot seems to be developed enough. As long as the characters aren't just stereotypes, it sounds like it would be a refreshing and unique read.

It would require a lot of research, but I have studied a bit of Deaf culture in psychology, and I would love to write a story focusing on it. My idea is that it would center on a girl who was very gifted at the piano, but was born deaf and raised in Deaf culture to embrace it. When she's a bit older, though, she gets offered the chance to receive cochlear implants (which is a bit unrealistic age-wise, but willing suspension of disbelief!) Not only would that be a personal conflict, but the decision tears her between her best friend, who is also a member of Deaf culture, and her other close friend who isn't deaf that she met through piano, and who supports the idea of cochlear implants. I'm not sure if I explained that clearly. If not, apologies, haha.

Personally, I think that if you worked on making the characters three dimensional, and keep the relationships between them as real as possible, then you'll have a great story on your hands.

Explaining to your readers how the main character can play the piano so masterfully might need a little effort though.

I've been toying with the idea of writing a story based on Fijian myths and history. Think one sided demonic lustful want for a girl whose great-great-great grand something gave his/her descendant's soul to the sea gods in exchange for absolute power over the oceans around his/her island home. Yes or No?

I think that would actually be really cool, as long as you got really in depth with the research. Let me know if you post it, I'd love to read it!

An amateur Mycologist (someone who studies fungi) gets lost in the woods overnight, panics, eats some mushrooms because he's so hungry, misidentified said mushrooms, and goes into a hallucinatory state where he's visited by the ghost of Elvis, his nagging mother, and a beautiful woman who claims to be the patron saint of all Hipsters.

Don't even ask me where that came from, 'cause I seriously don't know.

P.S - It's definitely supposed to be funny.

I was reading it and I was like "wtf? lol" and I was going to ask if this was supposed be a serious story. I think I would read it, as long as it makes me laugh a lot. You could make some interesting things happen to him haha.

So, I had this odd dream last night, would have gone on it my mum didn't wake me. But I want to write about

Pretty much this:
In B.C.E Atlantis was a quaint island city off the coast of England in the Atlantic. But where England was thriving, Atlantis was not. The people were starving, dying of disease and in the winter, the bitter cold. The people rebeled and war broke out.

The Atlantean gods tried to help but backed off once the son of some god(dess) is killed. They sink the city condeming the people to dwell in the water. Only once there is no moon in the sky can they come on land for one night. It's during that night they feed enough to last them for months.

It's because of this curse that the legends of vampires and merpeople come about.

In 18th century England there is a girl who is the daughter of a duke or something, not sure yet but she's important. And hates attending all the parties. She likes to spend her time sitting on the rocks by the ocean. She notices there is usually this boy that swims around.

In my dream they got aquainted, not sure how yet. I do know that she falls in love with him and he's trying to use her to break the curse.

I still have a lot to work out, but I was honest thoughts. I will more than likley post something similar to that. But if I do should I let my readers know about Atlantis being sunk and the curse before hand? or should the girl work that out of the boy?

I'm so in love with this story already. It just seems so mystical. I'm wondering how you'll diverge the merpeople to vampires, but the feeding is a nice explanation. I think you should explain from the beginning. Maybe as a fairy tale that's always told, but no one believes?

I want to do a story about a boy that requires order and a schedule to function whether it be from eating cereal to going to work because as a teen, his mother died in a car accident when she didn't follow order.

Then there's a new girl at work that is the complete opposite of him. They would a have a brief romance, but I don't think I'm going to have them continue it. The end of the story would be him choosing if he wanted to continue the life e way it is or if he wants to start becoming less order-oriented.

OCD stories are interesting if done correctly, and I like how you already have a structured cause for this boy's behavior. The insertion of a romantic relationship to some opposite sounds interesting and it could help convey your resolution on how the boy decides to live from now on. I really like your idea.

I've been doubting about writing this for some weeks now, but the idea hasn't left my mind. So, it'll be about this boy who has a fixation with shoes; he believes that the shoes that a person uses defines who the person is and the person's personality.

The story would be around 5 chapters tops about him "meeting" people just by looking at their shoes. The final chapter would be of him realizing that he has no category and havingan identity crisis.

It's not well developed yet, but that's the basic idea.

I like it - It seems really interesting and I'd love to see how you would portray the identity crisis. Not to mention, for some reason I'm interested in how he thinks in general, especially with that kind of fixation.

I kind of have *two* ideas but they're both the same with slightly tweaked ideas. One features two children who are the main protagonists aged around 9-12 and they'd both be involved in solving a murder mystery. They live in a small town and all of the children are being kidnapped for a few weeks, killed and put on display, ironically to the parents lifestyle. I.E., a taxidermists wakes up to find her son stuffed or a glutton finds their daughter bloated like a balloon with food sticking out of her body. I'm not sure if one of the kids should die, I think so.

Idea two is similar but the protagonists are a people of three who are merely visiting and the whole town turns on them because around their visit, the kids start disappearing and dying.

I really love both ideas; however, I think I may go with the protagonists being tourists, because I feel like they would be more involved in solving the mystery (because they want to clear their names) rather than two children, which sort of gives off a Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys vibe, in my personal opinion.

The short version of my idea is an AU BBC!Sherlock fic set during The Holocaust.

The long version is:

The Holmes family are Jews in the midst of Hitler's reign over Germany. It's the beginning of the war, and Mr. Holmes is an essential worker; he works as a scientist, designing and developing new age ammunition, particularly chemical and biological weaponry. So for a while they are allowed to live in peace, because he is such an asset to the German military.

But Mr. Holmes is no fool. He knows that the war is about to get much, much worse, and that he won't be able to keep them safe for long. He and Mrs. Holmes decide that even if they don't survive it, their two sons, Mycroft and Sherlock, must. So Mr. Holmes goes about getting false papers, and is able to secure Mycroft's future - he moves the seventeen year old to a safe country village with these papers, while he secures Sherlock's false papers.

Only, while he's doing so, he gets caught. One night, the Nazis storm in, murder Mr. and Mrs. Holmes in front of ten year old Sherlock, before taking him off to a concentration camp.

The Nazi in charge of the camp is a highly efficient soldier and an intelligent doctor by the name of John Watson. He is surprisingly merciful and even, at times, sympathetic to his prisoners, but he still cannot stop the ruthless murdering that he's ordered to undergo. Even so, he gets a bit of a reputation as someone who harbors a soft spot for the Undesirables - something that should have ruined him, yet nobody really speaks out against him, due to his charisma; he's charmed both Nazis and camp prisoners alike.

One thing John likes to do is walk through the work grounds of the camp. Even though he's got soldiers to survey and report back to him, the scientific side of him has been trained to always rely on oneself for observation and knowledge rather than relying on witness reports. He likes to see firsthand the ability of the workers and has intervened in more than a fair share of Nazi brutality.

And then John lays eyes upon Sherlock. He is amazed - this ten year old child is dirty beyond belief, his dark curls matted to his head and tangled with god knows what, and he looks like he hasn't eaten or drank anything for days - something that John doesn't doubt. Yet still he works at the job they've given him, something simple like melting down gold teeth or packaging whatever the Nazi camp was creating. Really well, actually. All the while mumbling to himself...and when John stops behind him to listen each day, he's surprised to find that it's Latin.

Fearing for this boy, who is all alone, he calls him into his villa, and offers him a job as a servant, mostly a handyman to help out around the house. Sherlock, who has now realized that Mycroft will never save him and that he has nothing else to lose, accepts. At first, John doesn't pay him much mind, just points out little jobs for him to do (like clean out the soap scum from the tub or unclog the gutter) until he realizes just how intelligent and mature this little boy is and starts to care for him.

This is a great idea. Its very original, and literally, I don't know what posessed you to come up with it. I think you should go for it! You could really go a ton of ways with this idea, and it really does take Sherlock Holmes to a new level. I like it.

Alright, tell me if this is too cliche or not.

The M/C is a quiet keep-to-herself girl, who takes her academics seriously, and wants nothing to do with human contact. She goes to school everyday looking forward to learning something new, and when she gets home, she puts on a whole new alter ego. She works a strip club to pay the bills, and her own needs, and deals with her guardian's rath, a widowed man who'd adopted her when she was young. He's abusive, but she can't find the will to leave him because of what his wife and him did for her as a child.

When she's waiting for the bus to pick her up from school, a boy sits down next to her on the bench and strikes conversation. He's new to town, just brought the house next to the school, and is a tech-geek.

Eventually one thing will lead to another.

Cliche?

In a way, yes. She's just like all the other girls in cliche stories: withdrawn and nerdy, abused and avoids others. I think you should build her personality into something more. On the other hand, a tech-geek guy seems rather new. (:

Twilight (only book one compliant!)

Sam (the alpha of the wolf pack) has been leading the pack for a few years now. Jacob also has the alpha gene (as in the books) and so has been confronting Sam about decisions when he should just be going along with it. It's becoming steadily worse, and Sam grows frustrated and angry.

One day, Seth joins the pack. Jacob's late to a meeting because he was hanging out with Bella again. He arrives at the meeting, planning on sneaking in and avoiding Sam because he knows Sam is mad at him. His plan dies a horrible death, though, because he spots Seth. And imprints on him. He's pretty freaked out, because Seth's male. He plans to keep it a secret until he's figured things out, but Seth's a newbie and blows his cover. The whole pack's pretty freaked out.

Later on in the story, the they are chucked out of the pack and are forced to stay with the Cullens. (Edward's surprisingly nice now Jacob's not a threat to Bella). Jacob and Seth imprint on Emmett, but strive to keep it a secret for as long as possible, until eventually their secret is discovered. (There's a lot more to the plot as well, and I'm considering multiple sub-plots too).

From the moment they imprint on Emmett, Jacob and Seth are slowly dying because their body recognizes the lack of a relationship with Emmett as rejection.

Extras: I think I'm going to write a couple of one-shots to highlight scenes from the story and post them before hand before writing the whole story out, or I might just write the whole thing as a series of one shots. Opinions?

Personally I'd prefer to read it as a chaptered story, but it depends how you write it of course. It's an interesting idea and I like that it focuses on more minor characters.

-
This isn't a very well formulated idea yet, but I've been wanting to write a Doctor Who story which focuses on something messing with the universe and causing a rift to be made between realities, and Rose and Martha team up in an attempt to sort it out. I just want to write something with them as main characters really. x]

I haven't really watched Doctor Who so I don't know much about it, but it does seem like it would be interesting. Maybe when the idea is more figured out you can ask about it again. I'd love to hear what could happen in it.

A 19 year old guy is hanging out with his friends and gets dared to lick a porcupine. He says no at first saying it's dumb, but after some persuasion he agrees. Problem though: There aren't any porcupines in their area. They go inside to find out where porcupines live. A news report is sent out and it informs everyone that all the porcupines in the world have gone missing. The guy and his friends decide to find out where the porcupines are, and to save them.

It turns into a quest to save the world when a group of people are trying to take over the world, intending to genetically engineer the porcupines to use as weapons. The leader of the group also has a huge obsession with the porcupines. I intend for the guy to complete the dare after saving the world.

It will be chaptered and if you couldn't tell, a comedy.

Very original. I like. I think if you are able to make it funny and/or clever enough you've got a hit.

This isn't very fleshed out yet, but I was considering doing a sort of Supernatural fanfic. It's only ff because it takes place in that universe, but I don't think I'll use any of the main characters (if I do they will have minimal involvement or come in at the end.) The sort of main concept this season has been various supernatural creatures acting out of the ordinary, so I thought I would write a story from the perspective of someone else directly affected. In specific I thought I could make it a werewolf or something so he/she is very affected. (There was a line about weres coming out at half moons that inspired me.)
