GANG I MADE A STAWPAGE YIPEE
Bad Writing Idea! [May 27]
A knight goes on a quest to evade fantasy taxes.
Inspired by the rb'd post! A knight, after a long, ardous journey to defeat the rabid tyrannical monsters, finally have the luxury to go back to their hometown. They were only barely fifteen when they left to persue their calling, and upon seeing it again, it was beyond what they imagined. That small, quiet village had already turned into a large, bustling capital, with noblemen riding their steeds gallantly, houses piling on the hills, minstrels and bards singing and ajousting, nothing was the same as they remembered. Heck, they can't even find their old home anymore! Vexed, the knight visits the lord/king out of respect, hoping that he was at least as prosperous as his city, his throne was already squeaking from the cracks underneath his enormous figure. Despite being thankful for the knight's service, there was one thing that felt off. The royal financial minister steps up with a long scroll in hand. "You owe the city approximately a million gold in taxation." Yeah. No. Fuck that. Now, despite having escaped the castle and the guards out of pure luck and skill, they sit alone in the darkness of the woods, warmed by a small fire, as a small warm dot echoes merrily in the distant castle town on the hill. The rest of the story is yours to decide!! :D
Bad Writing Idea! [May 7]
Someone appears in your dining room one day and claims to be your personal poison tester.
Inspired by the rb'd post! Manga / Story idea : An exiled prince/princess of a faraway land is set to be trapped in an old abandoned castle tower. No maids, no butlers, tough enemy knights and the only one on their side... their poison tester. Despite being exiled, they still have worth as a political pawn - so to ensure the prince/princess's safety, they allow them a poison tester in the slim chance that they would be assassinated by enemies. The environment is repetitive, with our protagonist consistently trying to learn new things to pass the time, but to their discomfort, the presence of someone else is always there to bother them. The tester never speaks out of turn, if not, rarely outside of meal time with their generic one-liner: "It isn't poisoned." At some point, fine. Might as well be friends with this guy. The protagonist then eventually develops a slow friendship with them, bonding over food, life experiences, and hobbies among other things. Little did they know,, their little tester has a disgustingly huge fat autistic crush on them. What will the fate of the two be? Will this peaceful, dungeon life come to an end? What happens to them, when the food is actually poisoned? The rest of the story is yours to decide!! :D

Inspired by the rb'd post!! :D Manga / Story idea : Two distant childhood friends meet again after a long time, and begin to hang out again. As they do, they get into a heated argument. That night they toss and turn, thinking of every stupid thing they said to each other and every stupid joke, stupid thing, stupid, stupid, stupid. Drifting off to sleep, they see each other in their dreams, on an escalator in an old mall they used to frequent during their childhood. On opposite escalators (one going up and the other going down), they pass each other. The second both of them touch the floor, the dream blacks out. The alarms ring unfamiliarly. Annoyingly even. SMACK! "Ughh.." "Eughh.." They step unfamilarly around, somehow finding their floor-length mirrors. "....Person A..?" "PERSON B?!?!?!??" The rest of the story is yours to decide!! :D
What does your fictional world need?
I never make a very convincing world unless I consider these steps. I found a diagram on Pinterest early on in my writing career and have since been using variations of that! Here is essentially what they tell you is needed for a successful world. Let me know if there's anything else that you use or think about!
A functional society â determine what kind of society it is and how many people are in the population. Determine how crime is dealt with and how often it occurs. Determine who matters and how doesnât, and how they clash.
An understandable economy â determine what is used as currency and how it is achieved. Determine what wealth looks like and how it compares to those that donât have it. Determine what they import versus what they export.
Religion â determine what they believe in (gods/goddesses vs one god; myths and stories) and how they worship. Determine any rites of passage they must go through to be accepted. Determine the role religion plays in society and how it clashes between beliefs.
A complex government â determine how your world will be run. Determine how many people are in charge of decisions, what happens when they clash, and who is in charge of who. Determine the feelings subjects have about the government, what caused these feelings, and how they are dealt with.
Thoughtout Physical geography â determine features of the world. Determinate what the climate is, what natural physical features are present (mountains, caves, islands, volcanos, etc.) and how they impact the world. Determine natural resources and terrain. Determine how people live in the world (towns/cities, nomads, villages, etc.).
Reasonable transportation â determine how the society gets around. Determine if they travel via cars, trains, boats, planes, creatures, ferries, teleportation, by foot, etc. and determine how this impacts their daily life. Determine if all modes of transportation are available for everyone or only certain subjects. Determine which of these options is reasonable with the land features you created (probably need a boat/ferry/submarine if your world is mostly water). Determine how they relocate to other areas (by boat, bus, ferry, etc.) and any regulations with that.
If you don't already use it, Pinterest is a great resource for getting free writing tips!
Writing prompt:
The protagonist is a psychic with anxiety issues. Unfortunately, they are unable to tell the difference between a genuine supernatural vision of the future and garden variety worrying.
in a similar vein : A mind-reader who is schizophrenic, being unable to tell what is a voice and what is a mind read..
WRITING PROMPT
Partners in crime power couple
Character A laughed manically, gripping the steering wheel,
âWe did that! We fuckinâ did that and got away with it too, Honey!â They squealed, bouncing up and down out of excitement on their seat.
B gasped for air, bags and bags of cash laying limp at their feet. âHopefully got away with it!â They corrected, craning their neck to check if they were being followed. âWe need to drive far enough away before we can-â
Bâs train of thought was interrupted as A snaked their hand off the wheel to grip Bâs chin.
A stared deep into Bâs gaze, adrenaline still shining through their gorgeous irisâ
B cleared their throat, shaking off their fluster âKeep your eyes on the road.â They commanded. A obeyed.
âWeâre rich.â A cackled, keeping their gaze fixed on the open road ahead. âWeâre gonna be famous too! More famous thanâŠgimme a couple of famous thieves, baby.â
B narrowed their eyes at the petname but obliged, âhm..there isnât really any famous thieves that werenât also murderers.â
A tutted, âweâre a lot of things, babe, but we ainât murderers.â They announced righteously âwe may be thievesâ
âAnd cheatsâ B added
âAnd liarsâ A grinned, dragging their gaze back to B
âAnd no good scumâ
âBut we sure ainât murderer-â just then, the car jolted over a mysterious bump in the road. Too jerky to be a pothole, the thump too dull to have just been roadkill.
Manga / Story idea : a lone astronaut goes to the moon to work in the newest moon-based research center, and on their travels they meet... fairies?? A hardworking loner, they volunteer themselves to a revolutionary moon mission, to stay and research there for about a year. There, they sustain themselves and research.. all the same, again and again and again, the same routine. But visions start to wander in their dreams, and eventually they begin to feel an odd presence. They find a fairy.. eating their jam XD They chase them, eventually getting to know them and invited to see their home. Deep within the moon, right under the ground, is a bright, beautiful land of fairies, instead of lush forests, they are surrounded by an endless core of shimmering, glowing minerals... What goes through the protagonist's mind? What will the fairies do in acknowledgement of their existence? What will the astronaut say about the fairies to the control centre on earth? What is the fate of the fairies in the end? The rest of the story is yours to decide! :D (Note: this type of plotline is best used as a one-shot type of story!)
Manga / Story idea : a mystery/horror/sci-fi story in which a person purchases an old flip phone and ... it starts talking back..?! A restless soul lays dormant within a set of scratched, grey clacky keys, desperate for an answer, and someone.. to exact their revenge.. At some times, the soul shows itself in texts, eerie phone calls and static imagery.. Old photos of the victim subside in its old memory card, as well as other disturbing clues... Who were they? And what happened...? The rest of the story is yours to decide! :D
A new story concept:
Magical girl/boy with Theomania
Anyone???
(Theomania= delusion of being a god)
ADDING ONTO THIS! THEM GROWING UP TO TRY AND CREATE A CULT AND EVENTUALLY ABANDONED AT A CHURCH/NUNNNERY ONLY TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS ANOTHER GOD
Manga / Story idea : a GL (Girl's Love)/Yuri between a butch who loves to cook and a butch who works on a farm!! From the big city, the butch cook goes back to the countryside to work at a relative's up-and-coming restaurant! Despite dropping out of culinary school because of stress/being rejected by culinary schools, they're willing to hoist themselves up by their bootstraps and start somewhere fresh... As they settle in, they meet the butch farmer.. uwa, so dreamy!!! XD Eventually they meet when the cook searches for ingredients, with instructions to directly purchase from a farm... ah!! They meet again!! She buys ingredients... she comes to eat.. respect to ingredients and respects to the cook and the art of cooking.. and the art of love...?!! Just a nice idea for a shy city butch & a cool countryside butch haha
Manga / Story idea : an isekai in which an optometrist and an optician transports back in time/to another world with a 11th Century setting !! Having blurry eyes in the new world is a disadvantage, limiting job opportunities, life quality and seeing the world in general.. Your protagonists, tasked with bringing eyes back to the world, have a ways to convince the public, royals, scholars and even knights by using modern testing methods, solidified glass-making techniques and increasing literacy to care for all sorts of patients! In this world, magic is rare with some kingdoms fearing it, and some kingdoms simply a little kinder to it.. The rest of the story is yours to decide!!
