The Writers Thread
This is a thread where all you writers out there can dump ideas you don't want and maybe get some from others, see if a plot sounds right, get help thinking up a title, see what great stories are out there and any other things I can't think of!
Here are a couple of my ideas I don't want.
- A dragon's soul is stuck in a wooden puppet dragon and it has to figure out how to escape its puppeteer and get back to its rightful place.
- The Somethingorothers.
I'll leave you with that.
Heck yes I'm a-trackin'! I shall have a dump ready sometime later today >;P
Ohhh, yes! Tracking. I have a few that I’ll post later.
Tracking it like a rumblehorn!
Little girls favorite stuffed animal is actually a great beast that has sworn to protect said girl, and has disguised itself as a stuffed animal so that it never has to leave her side.
I've got a post-apocalyptic one with submarines, but I just can't think of a name. The best one I have is "Deep Waters" but I'm not entirely happy with it.
It takes place on the ocean. I should have given a more detailed description on the plot...
A meteor made up of frozen H2O crashes into the earth, and completely shifts weather and climate. After decades of rain, the sea level has increased by thousands of meters, and humans survived in giant submarines. Almost the whole earth is covered with water.
The story is rather simple. There is a protagonist whose submarine was destroyed, and she makes it to the surface. She gets picked up by a guy on a makeshift sailboat, and they try to survive, find land, and find out what destroys all those submarines.
That sounds good. Maybe I can just write it first and think of a name later? I used to do this, but a friend of mine told me it's better the other way around.
Oh, yeah!! This is a brilliant thread!!
: An altered universe in which dragons actually exist and said "Berkians" do know where they are currently residing, so they can protect them but continue to promote the idea that they do exist.
: Where all of us are living in a dream (or experimentation process about total human functions) and that everything we do is actually fake (for example, you think you're writting on the forums? Fake.)
: There's a veiled world happening just in front of us and there's people who can access it, and there's an entity that follows you around. Those knives you heard moving in the middle of the night? Your personal entity.
1st - > basically, that dragons do exist, and that the Hidden World could be out there irl (for example it could actually be the Bermuda Triangle; just a thought process)
2nd - > great minds think alike ;)
3rd - > never had I heard anything like that, but thanks for letting me know (sos, gotta erase the entire script I had so far... only 200 words, no big deal hahaha)
My God Emerald, that is brillliant!
The 1st idea about the Hidden World being in somewhere like the Bermuda Triangle or something like that. :D
Track!
I've seen really good ideas on this thread, and I'll reply to them in a sec.
I hope that this thread shakes up and that we can begin to talk on it again! :D
Well, since you mentioned getting help on titles, I’d most definitely like an opinion. I’m working up a final story for my boi King Noodle and will be relating it to the upcoming Valentine's Day, so the title is probably going to be cheesy romantic (sounds better in my head).
What I have is “Rosen Trees.” It is the name of a piano piece I love and kind of relates to love. I have nothing else. Do you have any suggestions?
A bit? I haven't considered the setting too much other then there's gonna be a lot of cliche` pink petals - which I'm sure isn't possible in an north-European place, but whatever! I'll think of something. . .
I do like Finaltine. Very dramatic for such a silly bean. I honestly have no idea if this will be the last of King Noodle - I was working on a story on where he came from but that got boring quick. But, for now, I'm considering his little story line finished.
Thank you for such a quick responce! I had no idea if this was still going on X3
Too busy with my original fiction pieces and Star Wars "I DON'T CARE, I'M BREAKING MOVIE CANON" fan fiction do any of these. But tbh, they'd be hilarious:
1. Weird magic crap happens and suddenly all the human characters have switched bodies
2. Stoick has turned into a baby - send help
3. The characters are thrown into a fandom universe with a villain that makes grimmel look like a walk in the park
4. "You're a lizard, Hiccup."
5. "Kylo Ren, THE FORCE DOESN'T EXIST ON BERK."
6. "Hiccup, your mother's a dragon."
Have fun. I'm heading back to slaving over my project.
I would love it if someone did comedic fluff pieces of Snotlout admiring himself as Astrid omigosh!
Thank you. Don't pressure yourself to read it, it hasn't been posted yet ; ) The story is taking a while to come together. I'm trying to make sure the franchise characters sound themselves, that all new characters don't sound like annoying perfecty perfect people, and the story contains somewhat accurate canon lore. SOMEWHAT lol
Dude, at this point, the only way to save the Star Wars franchise IS to break the canon X3
I LOVE the idea of Number 6. Kind of reminds me of Flitt's Dragonblood, but more biological, and I'm all about science!
(I also can't stop imaging what Hiccup's reaction would be to Baby Stoick. . .)
When people say I have to stick to canon pairings:
In all honesty, though I'm not going to force myself to study the deep pockets of Star Wars lore, I have been provided with information that has assisted in keeping the story somewhat lore friendly. I have a few knowledgable friends. And though there was new information provided in the new trilogy, I'm trying to avoid it.
If someone wrote the sixth prompt, I'd expect a comedy full of ridiculous jokes, many characters making weird mistakes and loads of puns.
I was looking at your bio and saw this link! Since I'm kinda a writer I might be coming here a LOT in the future, plus I do have some ideas currently that I'm having issues with!
Anyone got any help tips on settings? I write diolauge (jeez I can never spell that right) but always have trouble describing settings- if what I just said makes any sense XDD
Thanks! I'll try. I'll try describing a random setting and posting it here for critisim, I trust y'all as fantastic writers XD
And ooooo, okie! Good luck with everything at college, Flitt :3
Okie! As promised... I have returned with a really bad draft of a setting. The setting was chosen at random (well not necessarily- it's where I want to be right now XD) sooo yeah! XDD
With out further ado:
*launches writing at Flitt and runs away to hide in a hole*
The trek upwards was grueling. Even with all the physical preparation Sofia's (name chosen at random XDD) legs burned and ached with every step. She had half a mind to start the climb back down. Sofia stopped and leaned on her walking stick, beginning to contemplate her options.
It was getting chilly, as the sun was setting down. The sky was beginning to light up with soft pink, orange, and blue hues. The wind blew lightly around her, sometimes seeming to whisper messages of encouragment. The vivid green grass around her swayed to and fro in the breeze, seeming to dance along with it. Everything here felt so... alive in a way. It was something to be crammed up in an apartment in New York city, but this, this was a whole other level of Earth she had never experienced.
The birds around her chirped melodically, comunicating in their own ways of doing so. She gripped her walking stick and lifted her chin. She could make it up- she knew she would be able to.
AAAAAAHHHH
That was tttteeeRRRRRiiiiBBBlllEEe
Please don't read it XDDD
Whaaaat? *hides in hole again*
Thank you so much Flitt, that does mean a lot :D
And yesh, everyone always says their writing is bad because mine is but it still means so much that people like it :3
Oooo, okie! I hadn't thought about that, but that could certianly be something I could do. I might rewrite it with what the walking stick is made of, and some other things. Thank you so much for the feedback, you have no idea how much it means to me :DD
*squirms as Flitt pulls out of hole* Let me live in my hole in peaceeeee XDD
But it isss...
This is really good! And something I really liked was that you didnt use the passive verbs alot; everything was in action.
Ohh goodness, thank you Ness! :D
And yeah! I prefer using active verbs, but sometimes get too carried away with them. :3
It's literally a giant banner in your signature, Flitt XD well, I'm here! And looking forward to seeing all the writes and ideas 0.0
