Post apocalyptic future where we've "returned" to the dark ages, but there's 1 drone flying around from before the war and everyone worships it. The story revolves around various factions attempts to find and control the laser designator for it
A youth pastor receives a felony conviction for tax evasion, which allows him to connect with a hitherto-unknown subcommunity within his suburban mega-church of people failing to fulfill the christian image they broadly espouse, including his own estranged daughter.
bad in a 10 year old fanfiction kind of way
bad in a MFA kind of way
nice videogame story op
I got one
I'm in a zombie apocalypse and I'm pretty much a badass with dual-wielded Beretta's.
Pretty much just Walking Dead but with me and my crush who loves me and has sex with me.
Also I'm a chosen one that can't get affected by the zombie virus and neither can my crush who is my girlfrien
You can unlock the shotgun at chapter 12
A kid (me) writes a diary and his crush finds and reads it and instead of telling everyone she falls in love but doesn't know it's me because he always mysteriously signed off with "Yours, X"
Post apocalyptic zombie wasteland except all the zombies are women and the protagonist who is basically me is urgently needed because his jizz is the only thing which can kill the zombies so they weaponize his ejaculations until he falls in love with the princess of the zombies but can never consummate their love because one drop of his spunk would mean death for her. It's a tragedy.
Okay, so one day I wake up in my bed but there's a naked chick next to me.
Turns out, she's me.
Now the story would deal with the whole thing how it really would happen. People don't just appear out of thin air. How do you face this legally? Where is she-me going to live? She's me, is she more me than me? What happened? Can't find out. Clearly, that has super vast implications on my life as a whole. Have you seen the series, I think it was Left Behind or something? 2% of people on the world disappear. Nothing else happens. But they made like 3 season or something exploring what effect it had on humanity. Now imagine this on small scale. Here it's not even so much as the type of the event (I got a double now) but rather that it happened at all.
Also I'm a normal man so what would happen if I was thrust into a female body? Body dysmorphia up to maximum. Also she-me would obviously not go to uni because like I said - how do you deal with this legally? She didn't exist up until now and is a completely different person outwardly. She doesn't even have any education - on paper. So her future is ruined. On the other hand, she's also free to do whatever. Also, there's the he-me who's going to be dealing with all this fallout. Jealousy, anger and misunderstanding abound even if it's just two mes. How do you solve all this shit? Can you even solve it?
I already wrote a bit of this when I was just starting with writing, but then stopped and am too lazy to rewrite it all.
It was at the time pretty fetishistic but all of the above was the center of being.
The possibilities are all there but I'll probably not return it in the near future. Because I'm lazy and I've got other things to do and write.
A Church in a great capital in 1000s Europe find a way to transfuse blood and cure any disease but only those inside the city's great walls are given access to keep the blood pure. The blood, however, slowly turns everyone who uses it into a rabies infested beast and only those who remained true to the "old faith" and didn't use the Church's blood remain human. They hunt the beasts and a Great War wages inside the city. Eventually a solo hunter finds his way through the Cathedral and discovers the Pontiff has his Deacons performing blood-beast ritual sacrifices to an unnamed deity in order to capture the knowledge required to become immortal. Lots of blood.
I actually really like this idea, but you would have to execute it well
This is a good idea, but I think it would work better if you had a scientist clone a female version of himself and explore the implications of that
This is actually pretty good, especially the tragic love story
Garbage
Garbage
Garbage
Garbage
Overdone
What I don't like about that scientist idea is that memetheoring about cloning has been pretty overdone, he'd have to be crazy do do anything like that which might detract or add to the narrative, and that he'd probably think it all through before even creating that clone. Not to mention that cloning doesn't really like that and this scenario loses the whole narrative of "something impossible happened what the shit and why"
Idk man.
I literally stole what I thought the plot of Bloodborne was
It would still make a very interesting novel if it spoke more on the political side like World War Z's book to movie
Cloning doesn't really work like that*
Though I suppose somehow creating a female version of himself that would also have to grow up before being implanted with his memories...
Well changing all this up just creates a whole new story and shuffles it a bit through the genres as well.
What my vision is a story with an impossible (supernatural? who knows?) starting point that, from that point on, is completely realistic and explores real problems and there's no sci-fi, supernatural stuff or other events like that anywhere. In the end, all efforts to figure out what happened, why or how are fruitless. Just like Left Behind. Though I didn't enjoy that series at all, it had an amazing premise that I thought I'd enjoy.
Or when you take Children of Men. There's also that unexplained event of women being unable to concieve. And the book/movie explores ramifications of that. Of course there's also that pregnant woman, but that's just a slight extension of the narrative, I think. They explore the world the infertility created a lot and I loved that.
Or the movie Blindness. In there, people start to go blind unexplainably. It explores what would happen after that in a realistic way with realistic drama, that is kicked off by that "supernatural" blindness and obviously is affected by it a lot.
So in a lot of ways I don't think a scientist creating a female clone of himself would or even could work in the same type of narrative.
I don't deny, however, that it could be very interesting. But maybe there already is a story like that. It sounds like something that would already be made.
A pet frog get raised from pond water tadpole to adulthood by a little boy and his mom makes the boy release the frog back into the pond. Fuck that, says the frog, and he hops back to the house (two day treacherous journey) only to find they moved. Using frog senses, the frog takes off on a cross-continental trip to find home. Using new friends (idk a bird maybe, maybe like a cat idk) and frog kumite, Froggo finally makes it to the house only to get stepped on and kicked into a bush by the boys cigarette-smoking father.
Well you got the plot super wrong. How much of Bloodborne did you actually play? The Church STARTED the plague (the Old Yharnam Plague being a separate but similar incident) after Bergenworth swore off using the Blood and instead focused on studying the Eyes.

I've already got the main 50-100+ cast of characters all thought up, with motivations, backstories, and such, but I just can't be damned to write it until I know it's perfect.

That's
Actually not that bad. I mean it's been done before, but usually it's "hurr we kill ourselves becuz science n time travel". Your variation actually cleans up the paradox.
Thriller about MI6 agents discovering and attempting to thwart a hacker from installing a virus that'll make Mosquitoes spread a disease that will wipe out 90% of the world population.
Yeah, if the unexplained appearance of the she-you is important to the story then it works.
How would this work? Time travel? How is the bomb 'from the future'? How would present day earth see the bomb if they were the ones who built it? Even if the bomb travels at the speed of light, it wouldn't be able to make it to the edge of the universe and back to earth.
Literally watched one video one it when it first came out, that's it. I just think it's a fascinating idea of a corrupt sacrificial church

A genius high school girl, Jacklyn, makes a living by scamming, thieving and blackmailing. Instead of criminal, she views herself as a modern day entrepreneur with her company, Vice Inc.
The main character, Marie, is a teacher at Jacklyn's school. She cheats on her fiancé while drunk at a party, and ends up a tool of Jacklyn's schemes. Either Marie becomes the girl's servant and does whatever she asks, or else proof of her infidelity is sent to the unsuspecting fiancé.
At first Jacklyn's requests are rather innocent in nature, cook breakfast and lend the newspaper.
But when a teacher is murdered at school, Marie learns that her role in Vice Inc. is manifold...
I tried to write it but never finished because Jacklyn's character was inspired by my relationship with my grandparents and it got too depressing.

On the near future, a young man is cloned by a researching laboratory, we has chosen because his genome is considered "stable" enough for the requiriments of the project.
In order to experiment and finally cure most of the deseases caused by DNA deffects, the clone is breed to be a female with a rapid growth rate, in just a few months the young baby lass is a full grown 18 y/o woman.
Our protagonist falls in love with her, they secretly get "married" and start living a good and pleasant life together under the strict supervisiòn of the researching scientifics.
The main plot revolves around the moral conflicts of the two main leaders of the researching facility, one of the scientifics wants our protagonist to have a quiet life and enjoy his "dolce vita" with his wife and their future children, the other scientific wants to keep doing experiments with the couple, some of those experiments are moral ambigous but the vast majority are border line plain degenerated, in a vicious and canibal way.

In the future, clothing is mostly robotic and responds to a users emotions. As a result the need for conversation is pointless and people just let their cloths do the talking.
Story revolves around a male protag who works at a distribution centre. Despite the advanced technology it is used in an inefficient manner ie teleportation of objects from a shelf at the far back of the warehouse to the front, where it is then placed on a belt leading to the back of a truck.

You could definitely make this work if you make it like how gravity's rainbow is written.
A nineteen year-old woman that was abducted and groomed for sex slavery since she was 1 year old is unexpectedly free when the house she was held in suddenly burned down. For the first time she experiences the outside world, but as it turns out she is in the middle of a large, undeveloped forest and the house she was in was a retired millionaire's property. She and a recently-abducted seven year-old are the only survivors and they set out on a quest through the wild, experiencing the beauties of Earth. The only problem is that she is a heroin addict and goes through much agony throughout the first half of the book while the five year-old tries to help her cope with withdrawal by telling her about the joys of her own childhood, but it is the sorrow the older one has for the younger one's loss of her family that drives her the most to try and lead them back to civilization. Because the younger one was abducted from a campsite and is actually the daughter of a very seasoned survivalist, she has enough skill to keep both of them alive.
Fuck, I just made this up. I'm good.
Sorry, I jumped between seven and five. I want to confirm that I think the younger one should be seven.

The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Idaho
A bright but underachieving internet sleuth with white skin and right-wing political views one night accidentally uncovers the secret etymology of the word "Idaho." The truth is that the word "Idaho" does not exist in any language known to man--like "Dasani," it is a completely artificial linguistic construction that was created by a power elite to sound blandly exotic and yet easily pronounceable to anglophone ears.
Suddenly the entire American geographical and political project is revealed to be a sham. As our hero learns more about "Idaho" and its purported history, its innocuous public image, its ancient past, it becomes increasingly apparent that the entire state is a mask for a shadowy oligarchy's sinister plot.
What's more is that there's another pseudo-exotic plastic word on the tip of everybody's tongue--"Obama."
A year where nothing happens: no birth, no death, nothing major is created, no war or current events, etc. Essentially the ideal our society is striving toward is fully realized and people's reactions to the desperate mundanity inherent within. It ends a year later, on the first day the world starts moving again. Someone dies, a war breaks out, and everyone is incredibly happy and relieved.
There are two guys named Thomas that casually meet every night in a roadside cafeteria. Both are frustrated writers with insomnia. One of them is a depressive drunkard who says nobody is able to appreaciate his work while the other is a young guy trying to find time to write while working in a gas station nearby. They talk about the work they're supposedly writing. One day, the drunkard disappears and the other one tries to find something about him to find his work and read it. All this happens while an almost apocalyptic dustbowl like event strikes the country and threatens with killing a big chunk of the population of earth.

Setting: Near Future, say 40-50 years from now
The overall tone of the work is humorous and at times satirical but it still has a "spirit" to it and isn't just meaningless jokes, the underlying messages will be both about the advent of modern technology (and how it affects us as a social species) & fatherhood as well.
It will be written in a slightly abnormal way, with footnotes & nontraditional structuring for the presentation.
The story opens with a man getting high smoking some weed & going out for a snack. He gets somewhere and realizes he left his wallet at home, and freshly installed in the location he is at is a "vending machine" (of sorts). However it does not accept money, instead, it will literally "suck" you off (enclosed sanitary environment with a disposable receptacle, we're not talking about a sentient box with lips or some shit) and your semen is the payment.
Years later he finds out he has a kid, who, was born out of the semen that was collected from this incident.
Basically the premise for the story is supposed to be ridiculous and humorous along with many other elements and events that occur. But the piece as a whole isn't meaningless laughs and instead conveys a commentary on modern (and future) society & how we interact with each other as people and learn to accept reality (and the ridiculous) and one another.
Probably sounds kind of gay when described like this but I actually intend to finish this.
I've started it however, as with most things I write, I'm no where near done.
So I guess we'll see

Definitely 11% of my personality is making literary references nobody gets. This is because I make literary references to my own literature, which remains unpublished. When someone does something outrageously stupid, I say, "Wow, you're really pulling a Gregory Berrycone there". I wait for somebody to ask who Gregory Berrycone is, and then explain that he is a minor character in my absurdist novella (untitled right now) about a man who wakes up one morning with a mysterious plastic knob on the back of his head.

Jeremey Prickles and his friends stumble upon a remote society of noble warriors who suffer from Embarrassing Names. These are handed out by their Holy Stone Idol on their coming of age,and their culture allows no other action but to suffer their chagrin in stoic silence. An investigation and adventure later,it is revealed that the Voice of the Holy Stone Idol was provided by an angry youngster who was handed a particularly embarassing name. Suddenly,the warriors are free to choose their own names! And,of course,these turn out to be far more ridiculous than any they recieved before.
A guy decides to consciously 'delude' himself into thinking that he has written anything he reads. So as to not burden himself with conflicting works, he normally takes care to read as little as possible, to only talk or watch videos. But once he does read something he HAS (and this is a conscious decision he questions many times) to contrive how his background and history and whatnot has made him write whatever he had read, and make it coherent with his previous works. He doesn't write anything original until the climax of the story, and that is... predictably enough, writing this book itself.
