Do You have an Idea for a book?

[team star pug]

I have this one, see? I up and decided that I was sick and tired of generic Tolkienesque fantasy settings, meaningless Lucasian prophecy-centric stories, Paolini-style cutouts instead of characters, MacHale-style Aesops about how you should be content to be mediocre, and the self-righteous Mary Sues who have become ubiquitous in recent times. So I did the logical thing and wrote a book ("Wrote" as in past tense).

It's about a bitter, introverted eighteenth-century social outcast who, in a twist of fate borne of a Thirty Xanatos Pileup, winds up in the company of a bum, a farmer, his adopted father, and a malicious spirit; and before long he gets lumped with godly powers and a horrible curse that begins eating away at his humanity. In addition, he gets kicked out of his homeland in an incredibly unlikely turn of fortune, treks across a sunbaked desert, and unwittingly becomes the plaything of an anarchistic idealist, a stauchly capitalistic warlord, and a heartbroken God of Death. And those are the abridged cliff notes.

TL;DR: I'm going to push my anti-materialism on you, no matter how much you beg and plead.

ADDITIONALLY: In response to the OP: Are you aiming for a satirical flanderization of the high fantasy genre? Because that's the impression I'm getting.

perhaps a childrens story. perhaps a satirical parody. I don't know. I'm 14

At risk of sounding arrogant, that's no excuse.

...Because I was younger than you when I wrote mine.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Many. Unfortunately most of them involve some kind of fantasy element, which is a far more crowded field than Young Adult drama with many authors who have spent decades perfecting the craft. Any fanatasy I write ends up sounding hopelessly generic. Ever since reading The Sicillian I always wanted to do a story on the Friends of the Friends but lack the research required to do it justice, unless all the rest of Mario Puzo's books count.

 

[SUPA FRANKY]

(( Note: Its probably a bad idea to post your ideas, lest someone tries to steal them)

I have several plans of books, and once my drawing skills get better I plan to right and publish several manga in Japan

 

[JRCB]

I have enough for eight, one of which is nearing completion. I started another one last night, and I'll just post a very brief summary:

Disadvantaged students (i.e. poor students from poor families) fighting to the death, gladiator style. Winner gets a free education.
My friend said the idea is a bit disturbing. I can see why.

 

[PHOENIXRIDER57]

I started writing a few stories and then just stop halfway throuhg. I get caught up in doing something else or just lose inspiration for it altogether. While in school however, I have filled about 10ish or so pages of a comic called Kaptain Kablam. I'm quite proud of him; I should put a few on the internet...

 

[Generator]

I always get some ideas, get bored of them, and then think up some other ones I like better, scrapping the previous ones. I doubt I'll ever truly be satisfied with anything I write, but I'll definitely keep coming up with ideas, and hopefully putting some of them down on paper.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I have ideas for books all the time. Trouble is I'm dyslexic and lazy. Oh, and a shit writer.

 

[Baron Von Evil Satan]

yes I do have one idea. I plan on writing it this summer to keep myself occupied.

 

[Doitpow]

I had an idea anyone is free to steal

It's about the dark side of a planet where all life has evolved to be supported by the soundwaves of a war that has been happening on the other side of the planet for millions of years. There are plants that feed off the vibrations in the air instead of sunlight. It's about a group of biologists, diplomats and writers who are the first to investigate the other side of the planet, and their quest to perpetuate the war to save the ecosystem. It's weird and i have too much to write anyway. but i thought it was a cool idea.

Then I better get started.
By the way your book sounds great. What is it called?

Don't throw an idea like that away! It sounds great!

 

[RedHoodProdigalSon]

I'm currently writing a comic book with an american friend of mine, as well as my own LOTResque epic and a Romantic/Psycological thiller. so >.> <.<

 

[senorcromas]

Well, Sort of.

In one sentence, temptations become real.

Or something.

...

I'm very lazy.

 

[Reboare]

Yes, but I'm too lazy to get started, and even if I weren't I'm not very good at all at making my writing interesting.

 

[Slaanax]

I have one sci-fi idea about a founder race, and how 6 races are in our galaxy are result of their manipulations, but I am not sure what I want for a antagonist. Its not an original idea, but I want my bad guys to be something different.

I have an idea about Vampires and the, being pray for a more terrifying form that is brought on by feeding on animals. I always have really odd idea's in my head that I think could be interesting.

 

[Acier]

Oh ideas sure, but taking the time to write them down? I tried in middle school for my sci fi epic but got stuck in the middle since it was so long.

Probably the concept I'm most proud of is a screen play for a half life movie, down to the angle of shots during scenes. Not that I condone a half Life movie, but if it had to happen I would want it to be this or at least have whoever is making the film follow the same guidelines I did

 

[Aur0ra145]

I'm writing a novel currently about 3 college students, two of whom are pilots and just how life generally is in west Texas.
