A thread to dump the many brief ideas I have for potential stories; dunno how much I’ll share here.

Probably all destined to be short stories because fleshing out fictional worlds is hard. I’ll get around to exploring all these ideas eventually.

I’m thinking about writing it, no planning just exploring the concept :slight_smile: not sure what format would suit it best though.

Ikr. I’m currently trying to write something for the first prompt, but I do want to explore this second one too!

What ideas would you have for it, as an initial idea? I already have an idea of how I’d want to write it :slight_smile:

Oh gosh, so many. I’d probably go a strange surreal/paranormal route with it and explore a bunch of the character’s insecurities and have them find confidence by the end of the book.

That’s cute. I’d go in a slice of life but also mildly surreal or non-linear in the narrative when exploring what they need to remember before passing on properly. I’d also wanna look up some science.

I love the idea of a non-linear timeline! That could be so mysterious and fascinating to read! The “what they need to remember” part makes it feel like there could be a sequel ahaha.

Haha maybe there could be. I’d like to make it confusing, and then all come together in the end. But maybe it wouldn’t have or need a true “ending”? Because people pass on all the time, so it’s always happening, repeating?

Now I really want to start that one too! :joy: but I’m on chapter 2 of the first prompt. I think both ideas will be short stories though, so maybe I can get to this one soon, too.

(This is an old one)
In which two friends, one a young boy and the other a robot created by his Uncle, discover what it means to be human and have freedom when she finds out what she really is.

Yes, and I needed time away for mental health and such, too.
