Collaboration Gang. Forum Story Ideas/Concepts

Hey guys,

My vote goes to darkseer, there is a lot to do with this concept and it seems very interesting.

I think I'll vote for Aspects of Heaven and Hell.

I'd like to hear a bunch more ideas! :) Let's first hear all the story ideas/concepts people can think up, then once we have a bunch maybe we can all vote or something?

I rather like the Darkseer concept but here's a thought, I feel like that can be combined with the aspects of heaven and hell concept into one story. They both are to do with ideas of good and evil. So the story could be that the protagonist sees people's evil deeds long before this event happens where they start to manifest as physical demonic traits. I guess that would then make the protagonist a kind of prophet in some sense. 

So how about in the 'Darkseer' plot, Trevor doesn't just see the sins; he also does something about the sinners. Say, serial-killer type out to render judgment - after all they deserve it. Let's say we make the 'punishments' really explicit and viola...we've got a little recipe for horror :) *just saying*

Here's my idea. I'm not sure what to call it, though. The summary is horribly written, but I just want to get this idea out here. A guy and a girl are in love. The guy has deep rooted problems. The guy kills the girl, making it perfectly look like an accident, leaving no evidence at all behind. ~The story continues in the girl's ghost's perspective~ The it turns out that she was not his first kill, and after that, he makes more "accidents" happen. Each person who dies becomes a ghost, too. No one living knows he is a killer, nor will they ever, unless the ghosts do something. The girl is biased, as she loved (maybe even still does) him, and believes he can still be fixed. Everyone else hates him, and grow tired of her fighting on his side. They exile her from the group. The group finds out that on the eclipse, which will happen in three days, they can repossess their bodies. The group decide to use this power to kill the guy. The girl overhears them. And that's all I got so far... Just wanted to post it before I forgot!

Another idea: Guy and girl in love, girl can see ghosts but keeps it a secret. Word gets out that someone in the town can see ghosts, but no one knows who. This is a secluded town where anyone that is different in any way is believed to be a demon, and sent to prison to be "reformed", in which they are tortured (usually) to death. The one who didn't die escaped, and that's only been one person, if that tells you how secure the prison is. Anyways, the guy is the leader of the hunt for the ghost-seer. All I got so far.

Really good ideas. I've had one that I've put aside for some time. Shadow: In this land people are counted and only the last batch of humans are left. Those who do evil I the world become the shadows of the last humans to deceive their host and gain control of their bodies. Those who do good pass on into the next world after death. So here is a simple man (no name yet) who's shadow is a woman, and this guy was a soft heart for women. So the woman is trying to seduce the man to take over his body. Call her (A Spiritual Wife, Incubus I believe.) the man falls in love with her but he knows what she is trying to do. They start playing games and finally make a pact. One that really ends up with death... I wont give it all away. I wanna see if this is actually written. So.... That's my idea.

I'm really open to anything right now, but yes let's wait to see all of the ideas before choosing. (I would definitely like there to be at least some blood and gore parts in it though!)

I'm all up for Darkseer, it is similar to what I had in mind. Some ideas looks good but looks likes it might contain too much horror and killing the other genres. If we are doing this, I would like to have a good balance between to four genres we agreed on. Also, I do like the post-apocalyptic idea from scheherazade. Darkseer with post-apocalyptic setting sounds amazing to me.

I like the idea of mixing darkseer and aspects together. That could make for a really interesting story and a wide rang of characters

I also think that mixing Darkseer and Aspects would be a good idea.

Okay, so despite Takeshi's best efforts to undermine his own ideas and elicit further idea submissions, we appear to still be settling on a Darkseer/Aspects combination set in some kind of post-apocalyptic world. 

I am more of a high fantasy kind of girl. Like perhaps something with a war? Or something with a bit of adventure with some kindling romance? Or...I am thinking about two peeps meeting at a ball or masquerade of some sort and then falling for each other right then and there. Idk I like these concepts but idk if others will...but it's something, so...

Yurie Lee that seems like a cool idea. We can use that in a future story. I will be down to write a piece like that in the future with you. 

we should just write them all XD lol

I don't know... maybe if there're enough people, we can have two groups working on two different ideas, and somehow a crossover in the end... XD

Yurie Lee, I'm very much a high fantasy lover myself and a sucker for those grand masquerade and ball scenes you mentioned. I believe a scene like that can be worked into almost any story with enough skill and finesse and between the whole bunch of us, I believe we could manage it somehow. Also, I think it's important to remember that with a story like the one this looks to be shaping up into, we're building a world and worlds are and should always be enormous which means there can be a million things happening in it, thus making it possible to combine several of the concepts here. 

I like the idea of somehow the darkseer protagonist killing the woman who is an angelic aspect. Perhaps he is slowly becoming a demonic himself as he kills more demonics because true good seeks balance, not to truly destroy evil - see the Nietzche quote from my last post. Perhpas the angelic realizes what is happening to him and tries to stop him, getting in the way and being killed by him. That's some super sad tragedy right there, especially if he truly loved her. It would be a moment for him to start to transform himself. Maybe he doesn't even need to kill her, but instead just maim, scar or severely wound her, like severing her angel wings or something poetic like that.
