Thread: Plot Bunny Zoo

Original character (actually the heroine of a made-up comic book in the pokemon world):

Name: Indigo Steele
Age: ???
Gender: Female
Apperance: Amazon-type figure. Long hair held up in an elaborate style consisting of lots of braids. A Western-style dark superheroine-type outfit, but not too skimpy.
Personality: Tough, angsty, no-nonsense, but secretly compassionate and has a strong sense of justice. Has had many boyfriends; none of her relationships have made it past a few weeks. Men consider her cold and not femenine enough, though her best friend is a geeky male sidekick who helps her with her health problems that relate to her powers. A wanderer, also a bit of a cynic.
History: An accident gave her the abilities of a steel-type pokemon, but it also killed her beloved Skarmory and turned its body into a sword. Like most cliche dark superheroines, she goes around fighting crimes.

I tried something to win a bet, but it was friggin horrible. So...yeah, it's on FF.net now in the hopes someone flames it to a crisp.

So I've been toying with this original story idea.

The chapters alternate between the journal of the protagonist as an old man, his everyday life outside by the forest struggling, and his life as a farmer when he was 25 with a family. The setting's going to be 1935 india, and India in 1986.

I just haven't had the time to write about it. It's kinda based around my grandfather's life. So I need to actually write it one of these days.

I've debated writing about my uncle, who was diagnosed schizophrenic when he was in his 40s.

In case I didn't mention this, any post of mine from the Line Inspiration thread is up for grabs. If you can make a fic out of it, be my guest.

You wrote that!? I remember reading that like two years ago.

For those that bother to read Bloody Sword: 3050 A.D. (It's that fic floating around the top with 20 replies and 200 views ), you'd know that the backstory is that the world went to hell with a global nuclear war 50 years ago. So in my continuing efforts to tie all of my original fics into each other, I'm thinking of writing a fic dubbed "World War 3000," about, well, humanity destroying itself and pretty much the whole world. Like what happened in Planet of the Apes, only no monkeys.

Yup, that was me. Why so surprised?


Another idea. Or more like a twist on an old one.

There have been many fics in many fandoms with the main characters discovering fanfiction written about them online. Usually, some sort of weird dimensional warp explanation is pulled out to explain the situation. But instead....how about this?

In the real world, there are fanfiction written about *real people* all the time. They've since been banned on fanfiction.net, but you used to be able to read a wide variety of fanfiction about various celebrities (as themselves, not the characters they might play). Well...in the Pokémo world, wouldn't you say that these three would be at least minor celebrities? I mean, Ash did only place highly in several major tournaments, including a victory in the Orange League, and his companions were only Gym Leaders with apparent reputations of their own.

So....instead of the usual finding fanfiction gag....how about they find their own (existing in their world, not ours) fanclubs online, including all the lurid speculation, fanfiction, fanart, and everything else that you find in such highly obsessed groups?

I remember reading it but didn't remember who wrote it. Plus I wanted to reread it but couldn't remember where I read it at.

Emailed to your gmail.

Well been awhile


I've been tryin to write a schizophrenic character ( I blame Barb's plot bunny) but the problem is getting the schizoid-typal nature to connect past chapters and past pages. The disjointed nature gives it an interesting feel, but I think I"ll have to either have them all speak in one dialect, or figure out a way to give it credibility. I can give it credibility, but I don't think I"d be happy.

The thing I remember most about my uncle is how disjointed he seemed at times. Some days, he was perfectly lucid and could discuss any number of subjects. Other day, nothing he said made sense, if he even talked at all. And he did claim to hear voices, although he never said what the voices told him.

Okay, I have everything for my Hello Dolly fic but the beginning. Please help me!

That really doesn't tell me what your fic is about. I can't just give you a beginning just like that.

It's based on the musical 'Hello Dolly' starring Barbra Streisand.
