I have a story... well it's an idea... sorta.

OK! It's about a person who is lost in the world.
It has no name.
It has no knowledge of their origin.
It has not a family.
(Yes the person in my story is neither male nor female, but you're not suppose to know that yet.)
That person has only one friend.

The world is a topic of limitless bounds. In a world where two existances crashed together, screwing up (sorry about that) the sciences in both worlds.
One world had a science very similar that we have.
The other, had a science in which we call magic.

Later on... the two worlds are confronted by creators of existances. (Far into the furture) Who takes humanoid forms.

For the characters in my story they all have different whatchamacallits.
Example: (One of my weirder ones.) Mimi, a mimic that imitates (Mutates her arm actually) the weapon of their opponent to remove unfair fights due to weaponary advantage.
Her past is that her farm village had been wiped out by... someone (dunno yet).

The protagonist holds a curse. What curse? D.E.V.I.L. (Me!)
Detestable Entity's Virus, Infectious Lifeform.
To inherit the curse is unknown. There is no blood-line or any seen pattern.
1) What the curse does is at first, the cursed is not in the book of fate, they are not recorded.
2) Anyone that comes in contact with the person is also erased and counted as dead in the book of fate.
3) Some people may not recognise you or not notice you because only those who are about to die can actually notice the being.

Well so far the person's friend is different. She too is under a curse... sorta.
She is at times taken-over by another being. A dragon of the creators.
As of right now, D.E.V.I.L. has no special abilities or anything.
Civilians all have initiates of a certain element, and there are multiple races.

So... whatcha people think? Oh I write this story as a hobby at times.

Hey please post! PLEASE!!! I WANT FEEDBACK! I'M DESPERATE!

I think it sounds like a story with alot of depth. Like a novel. I think it's a good idea.

Yay my first reply!

Four words: Make it a map. The story is good enough, and I think that it would have plausable triggers, so it would be perfect.

YAY a second response!

I first had an idea that it may be a map, but I thought that my gameplay ideas would be below... zero! LOL.

But now that someone else thinks it's a good idea... I JUST MIGHT DO IT!
THANK YOU! Yay inspiration!

Now if only I can get some more free time...

Yup!

Wow, that man is farked with a capital F.

Wah!? Do you mean my story's protagonist?
The protagonist isn't a guy. (Although that is what is assumed in the beginning.)

LOL or do you mean my idea itself?

I like the idea. Most stories do not include where magic comes from, and your idea of how two different worlds or dimesions with two different laws of physics come together kind of helps that.

What you've done so far is really good, too. Jot down your ideas for now, then start weaving them into a story. In the end, you should have weaved a cloth of an epic!

I should keep going on my story too -_- kinda stuck on it.

Here are some suggestions to further develope the story into detail.

self-question:
Ask yourself questions that your intended audience would think about.
i.e.
Q: "How did Mimi come to the power she has?"
A: "Mimi had volunteered to give herself up for human experience by scientists. They had held her younger brother hostage, she had to give in. During the test of a new chemical that is supposed to 'regenerate the body as fast as it gets hurt', a 'Holder', people of magic conjuring abilities, comes in and raids the place as means to take over or for whatever reason he needed to do it for. Mimi then evolved from the magic combined with the chemicals she had taken. Her arms then began able to change organically. Whenever provoked to anger, her arms will unwilling change until she later gains control of it.
Mimi's brother dies during the raid.... She sought out revenge and traced down all but one scientist (you can use him for whatever later) and the Holder."

I could go on forever, but you get the point

After self-questioning, you want to think of the characteristics of your character.

Jaque might sound like a british panty-in-a-knot bard, for example

Thanks fm47!

Thanks for the motavation and the ideas.

My story right now is really... weird right now. Sorta stuck as well.
Since I never plan out the things first. (I hate planning).

Oh, I do jot down all of my ideas. I haven't transfered them all to the computer yet, but so far, I have about 2-3 pages of ideas in my story, and I'll even use your metaphor.
Now I must take all my pieces together and mend and get many pieces to make my most akward story.

Good luck on your story!

I have a question... should I start typing the story here on SEN?

Yes and No... depends.

No--if you want more.... security over your work. If you want to protect your work as means of publishment or simply don't want to release your ideas just yet, then make something of a... written trailer of your story.

Yes--in means of generating ideas. Sometimes I write much better and feel much more like writing when I'm at the edge of the purpose of the writing--the presentation of it. It helps me spark ideas and from there on, it's dominoes. Finding a beginning for a story and parts of ideas are, in my opinion, the hardest thing in writing.

Often times, I would get onto a literature forum (such as this one) and begin writing (as I did some posts back). I'd write and write, and in the end, decide that I like it so much, I'd copy & paste the entire story onto a word processor, or even at time copy it down on paper, then delete the text on the browser.

There are many reasons to protect your story, and anyone who tells you otherwise can't be trusted. We do not always write to present. Sometimes we write to remember, to take note of. Sometimes we write because we have no one to talk to or are afraid to speak to anyone of it. That's writing to express.

It's ok, however, if you feel that it's time to share the story/idea. Once you feel you're comfortable with sharing it, you find a way of presenting it. It could on a forum like this, you could find a publisher (or people who know them), or you could simply incorporate it into something like starcraft map. Either way, present it ONLY IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT IT. Otherwise, as stated earlier, tease with it.

Also, if you're unsure, you can always present a bit of the story or use the trailer of it that would show a good point of the story to ask for critiques and ideas.



EDIT*****
These are my views towards it. I do not exactly claim anything, but some people might not agree, and whether you do or not is up to you.

i think that it would be a good idea do start your story (i mean more that what you already did) and then like fm47 said you could get mor ideas then you can take the ones that you want then write your story. when you are done maybe post it so that pepple can see how it turned out


why didint the color work? (just got on yesterday)
