Book/story ideas thread

Tell me your ideas Veeky Forums
Now I know you haven't gotten started on writing anything. But surely you have some creative ideas floating around in your head! I know I do. What are they? Are you gonna write a super serious novel or a magical fantasy?

I have an idea about using a post-apocalyptic setting to explore
anarchist theories of structure i.e. Horizontal structure and how a post capitalist society might form.
Also interested in exploring what I percieve to be anarchisms short comings, particularly on how to deal with the mentally ill.

plot might be about small socialist-like village that has to deal with a sociopath/serial killer or something like that while also fighting off generic post apocalyptic warlord/barbarian types.

if you've played the Honest Hearts dlc for Fallout New Vegas, imagine something like that but with Cormac McCarthy narrating.

I think this has probably been done before though.

I will sue

finished a crime romp novel a publisher categorized as tropical gonzo crime in Feb. i'm shopping it around and getting positive feedback. currently i'm halfway through a first draft for a novel i figured would be more horror oriented but has taken on more literary fiction qualities than horror tropes. hope to finish it by year's end. funny how you can outline a story but the characters take you someplace else.

Post-apocalyptic Yorkshire where gravy and mushy peas are the currency.

My idea will probably never come to fruition, mainly because I don't like writing. I don't see the fun in it. Basically the story is:
>space opera
>neo-Byzantine empire in space
>everyone is an elf
>led by Constantine 11th, also an elf
>plot will surround how Christianity can survive space
