The Idea Conversation Topic! (The ICT)

Okay, so I was thinking; there are a lot of us writers out there who have ideas in their heads for good books or good stories, and have no one who will listen to us talk about it. Usually friends will, but sometimes they're just not available. And we come on FG all the time to write stories, or poems, so why not come to FG to talk about your stories or poems?

If you have an idea for a story- here's where to post it. Not, like, a whole big summery of the whole book, but just a quick snippet of your idea. What it's about, the main character, and FGers can give you advice or new ideas for it. An example? Okay, here goes-

"I have a story called Taken that I'm working on right now...But I have serious writer's block. . I don't have any new ideas, and I'm totally lost. Here's the topic for my story if you want to read it and see where I'm at. Feel free to give any suggestions as to what will happen. I can fill you all in later on what I decide."

Kind of like that. It's good if you can post a topic for it here on FF so that it's easy to view and comment on. Like this-

Comments-

"Blah- 'Maybe you could have so-and-so take a wild adventure to her grandma's house to steal cookies and eat cheese!'

'I don't know...I'll think about it, okay?'

Blah- 'Okay. Tell me what you decide! ' "

Like that. Talk about all the possible ideas you have here, too, and I'll try to help you. An organized way to do that is in a time line. You should all know what that is. So, post it up, and keep writing everybody! Good luck on all of your stories, and have a good time writing them!

(Gah, why does everybody have good topic ideas and i do not!) I like this idea Liz.

So, I had a story in my head not even like a book, just a short-ish one, based on my RP. To sum it up, it's before it all happened in my RP, the main chara waked up, and it was all a dream. When she wakes up she's a whole new person, from a mean trouble maker to a kinder, quiet person who has a new take on life. She's 16 and going to high school and a student transfers to her high school. He's an exact replica of the guy she falls for in her dream, but a complete stranger. I have no clue where to go from there Any help?

[hiholly123]

Maybe she could tell him about the dream, and then she finds out it was all real? Idk, do with that what you will. I hope I helped a little.

Taken, Taken, Taken. I'm kind of stuck.

Carol's about to go to a prophet meeting, and she wants Willow to come with her, because it's about her sister Alex. Willow and Isaiah are now officially dating, although no one has any idea about it, on Isaiah's request, because everyone hates him, and he doesn't want Willow to get in trouble. There's a week before Alex has to choose who goes with her on the quest (Willow, Carol; duh!), but I can't think of what will happen before that. 0_o

Yeah, that doesn't make sense to you, does it? Maybe someone could read what I posted of my story and I could update....? Ah, well. Here's the link if you feel up to reading it -

As long as you stay on topic, I'll ask about pinning this.

[hiholly123]

Okay. Thanks!

[crazychick]

Hmm... I have a good thing to discuss, if ya wanna.

M. A. C.

[hiholly123]

If I'm being stupid, please tell me. But what's M. A. C?

[crazychick]

MAC. The initals of a main character.

See, once every two years, a small group of friends and I come up with three letters, the initals of the main character of a story. Then, we're alotted two years to write the novel.

[hiholly123]

Oh, that sounds so cool! So what do those initials stand for for you? What character?

[crazychick]

Melanie Allison Cari (Kuh-rei)

She goes by Al because she hates her first name. And he middle name.

[hiholly123]

Cool! So what's going to happen?

[crazychick]

Umm... I think I'm gonna make three maincharacters, and all of them will be female with guy names. X) Whatcha think (so far)

[hiholly123]

Sounds interesting. Really, I like the name Chase, but for a girl. Like, it's a good girl's name, don'tcha think? And some people say that Alex is a guy name, but a character in my book's name is Alex, and she's a girl. Plus, she can fly. (yeah, really random. But true! )

So whadda ya think about my idea for your story, posf?

[crazychick]

Chasze is a cool name for a girl. I also like Jess.

[hiholly123]

Yup. That's cool.

Erm...about in the middle of my book...In a few pages, Jen is coming!
