Brainstorming+writing practice: Let's make a novel!

Hmm… is anyone opposed to pulling some ideas from writing prompts? I have a few ideas myself in case anyone doesn't want to use writing prompts for ideas

Starting from scratch is a bit better if we want to try and make a fullblown story and not just a scene or 2.

Mm. Fair point with that… anyone else here who has ideas or should I share a few of mine to start us off?

You do yours…

Yee @Lee-The-Bleeding-Heart tell us what you got

Ah alrighty. This may take a bit though.

• Magma mermaids.
• Spirits being the physical embodiment of souls that died but haven't moved on. (Ex. A water spirit would be somone who died drowning in that water and now haunt said water until they can be put to peace.)
• Biting does not mean instantly being turned into whatever bit the person. Both parties must consent and go though a ritual in order to be turned.
• Main Characters first meet each other in some unlikely places, and peg each other as a different type of person because of it. Leads to some shenanigans later.
• Don't be afraid to kill off Main Character(s) if it furthers the plot and allows character development of others.
• Much diversity in Characters and representation.
• Gods/Goddesses perhaps?
• An occult following captures and kills only certain types of rare, secluded fae folk to appease their "God" and M.C.(s) must stop it before it turns into a mass genocide and possible extinction.
• Elders and children are also important to have as main characters, for both wisdom and vitality.
• Drug Ring in the capital planning to assassinate the Heir(ess) of a Kingdom.
• Mercenary paid by the Prince(ss) to kill the Prince(ss) to distribute power and wealth to citizens. Mercenary thinks this is a bit fucked up and tries to find another way around the issue.
• A possible war being set up by a sabotaging third party?
• Werewolves gain control through experience and practice.
• Witches are actually really nice if you don't burn their house down.
• Main Villain has a change of heart once listening to the heros. Villain's subordinates rise up to oppose.
• Villain accidentally creates an even worse Villain 2.0

None of these are linked. Just suggestions and we can take and leave whichever works better for everyone.

An occult following captures and kills only certain types of rare, secluded fae folk to appease their "God" and M.C.(s) must stop it before it turns into a mass genocide and possible extinction.

I think I like this one the best, I have a Fae character that would probably just go: "Fuck you, you little fucking shitbags." To the entire cult…

Nice! I also still have more suggestions and ideas, but I wanna wait for some others first, just in case.

I have decided that if we do that, the Fae boi will be the slip unsettling boi I drew.

Oh-oh-oh this is great can we do like, a magic universe where there's a general hate for witches (people who use tools for magic) instead of being born with the powers like the rest of them so witchcraft is illegal but the witches are really nice and just want to help people so they try to get witchcraft legal and stuff and then there's an epic quest™ in a magic world with a bunch of diverse protaganists and it can be a cool metaphor because they're just trying to be normal but people hate the way they were born.
+We get to make a stupid government.

Just an idea.
Otherwise we could do a classic "I am a human in a magic world" exept the human is totally useless and all the magical creatures are like "Why must we help you human can't you do anything yourself no waIT DONT TOUCH THE MAGMA MERMAID"

I just wanna use my Lumo child… The creepy fae that looks about to slap you.

@WarmOregenoTea™ An Oc that's not in a project yet?

This sounds awesome! And what if we mash those two together? Like, the witches run into a completely powerless human but decide to keep the human around because they are a very nice and kind Cinnamon Roll human who wants to help, but is absolutely clueless when it comes to dealing with magic and creatures of the like.

Pretty much, I litterly just drew some random shit and came up with him, Lee helped with the name.

@WarmOregenoTea™ Show us the child!

Also yeah @Lee-The-Bleeding-Heart mashing together is a good idea!
Also can we make some cool "Mythical creatures" that aren't as you expect them, just turn the entire view on every fictional thing ever upside down because I think it would be neat.

Er…
I'm not entirely sure how to link it onto here….

Also, I'm drawing a human cinnamon bun with purple hair.

What you say: Human cinnamon bun with purple hair
What I see: Zooms into your profile picture

True…
Also, I motherfucking fucked it up.
So I blacked it out

Oh well…
but that raises a question tho.

Is coloured hair natural in this world or do they have human like genetics?

Colored hair should be a sign of great power… Like the human appears in the world with dyed hair and everyone thinks she/he is a gift from their gods and they start to worship them or something till they realize that this human is a powerles idiot.

YES YES YES and the human just rolls with it but then their roots starts grow out and all the witches are like:
"Bitch we thought you had powers"

And then! Someone kidnaps human and the witches are like: "No, thats our idiot! Get the fuck away from them!" And then the person who kidnaps the human just makes friends with human and the witches come in on the kidnapper and the human drinking coffee and gossiping.

I DON'T USUALLY READ BUT I WOULD READ THE HECK OUT OF THAT

#WeThoughtWeHadANemesisButTurnsOutTheyreWithUs

Plot twist: The kidnapper is just Remy.
Kodus to those who know what I'm talking about

May I possibly contribute a few ideas?
