What story should I write?

by paroem

Rated: E · User Poll · Other · #2329830

I have plenty of ideas, but I'd like to write something that others would prefer to read.

Poll Question:

While I may have enough time and brainpower to accomplish multiple of these ambitious concepts, I find motivation in creating something that others are equally excited to see. I will present concepts for different pieces of literature, and would greatly appreciate feedback on which of these you'd be most invested in materializing.

Tunnels: A post apocalyptic story in which mankind has perished in a nuclear war. In their attempts to save society, they diverted all of their resources to dig industrial tunnel networks everywhere underneath the crust. This story follows the experiences of "Creature," a humanoid organism surviving in the tunnels, learning the history of their creation and facing challenges within.

Eyes Of The Wild: In an alternate reality, wolves evolved to be the intelligent species on Earth. While not attaining the properties of modern medicine or handheld tools, rather, they were gifted with the ability to hone magic. When a wolf is born into this world, their eye color determines the magic they are proficient with. In this story, tensions are rising as a lone wolf rises to power and attempts to gain control of the entire population by force, ensuing war. We follow a group of young misfit wolves who find an unlikely family when they are cast out of their factions - and end up playing a bigger role in the future of their society than they could ever have imagined.

Nil: Nil explores the concept of the end of the universe. It deals with the reconstruction of matter after the universe is blown to dust, and the idea that matter, energy, and soul are the core components of existence. This story follows the gathering of souls in the reconstruction period of the universe attempting to rebuild civilization and recover the lost memories of existence.

Crystal Heart: Crystal Heart is about a world with a medieval fantasy setting. The protagonist, having lived a sheltered life nearby a small town, is suddenly caught up in a conflict between two ancient powers. The clan of the purple dragons posses a form of sacred energy known as purple lightning, and have recently been under attack by a pirate group known as the Blindfolds. The Blindfolds are a criminal organization that has knowledge of an ancient rite that consumes purple lightning and converts it into void energy, an unstable energy of raw power that consumes the user. The story follows someone caught between two factions, trying to discover their purpose without their father. (Sorry I can't reveal too much for fear of exposing major planned plot moments) Warning: Main character will be torn between two love interests - I know some people prefer not to have love triangles, or Y's in this sense, hence the mention.

Raptor: Raptor is a fanfiction regarding the series Wings Of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland. It disregards the last book's explanation on the near extinction of the human empire and the rise of dragons on the Pyrrhian continent. It will take place even further back than any of the books in the series, delving into the current tribes' prehistoric ancestors and the development of the modern kingdoms. We will follow a Rockwing on their journey exploring the continent.

Undestined: Undestined is also a Wings Of Fire fanfiction. It explores the question of: "How would things have turned out if the dragonets of destiny never existed?" While this may be an overused AU, I plan to focus on the major shifts, like the collapse of the rainforest kingdom and the end of the SeaWing monarchy, as there are endless opportunities to change the entire storyline of WoF without the first set of protagonists. Thsi story will be multi-perspective and jump around to different characters as it continues.

The Alphabet Tax: A world in which letters, based on their appearance in the alphabet determine someone's worth in society. This story will navigate this society from dual perspectives, one of someone born 'Z', and one of 'A'. We will explore how they experience life and how their position in this Alphabetic caste shapes them as people.

Spliced. : Human technology has advanced thousands of years into the future. In order to survive with the planet's depleting resources and our growing population, we adopted techniques of genetic modification and biological warfare to survive. Now, with hundreds of dangerous, instant death diseases floating around and countries in the midst of a full blown genetic war, things are on the brink of collapse. A young student finds an AI module storing the conscience of the person responsible for all of this - the scientist that cracked the genetic code and founded Genetech in a run down building on the outskirts of a fort. This story will follow the student and the AI module as both discuss the state of the world and attempt to come to terms with the end of humanity. Not an action story, just a mindful connection between a person long gone who attempted to fix suffering, and someone who now suffers because of it.

The Tempest: This is a fanfiction relating to the game "Creatures of Sonaria" on Roblox. Generally speaking, you don't need prior knowledge of any of the game's lore to understand what's going on, because I disregard the small amount of lore that exists. I will be using the species from the game, so to get better pictures of the characters, you could look those up. This story follows the adventures of Candlewick the Phyremia after he escapes from his father's cult to start a new life on the main continent of Sonaria. Through happenstance, he meets Valeria, a young discolored Beezu, and the last hatchling of the infected Redwood Hive. There, they start their misadventures and meet other wanderers, clashing with old friends turned enemies, and discovering ancient powers, for example, Glasthtynn the Syroudon, current chosen of the Eigion Warden's mark. Through these discoveries, they will come to learn more about the war of Ash & Flesh, and how the evil that caused it connects to them. And it's pretty close to resurfacing.
