Writing thread!

I'm actually in the process of writing my own post-apocalyptic zombie story.

 

I am ravenous for new ideas about what to do with a zombie apocalypse. Please tell.

Otherwise I am slogging through a massive novel at the moment and I worry if I can finish it every time I open the file. X.X

 

I'm writing a novel about two male partners of 5 years, Luis and Lucan, and Luis has just found out...guess what! Lucan is a vampire! I have no idea what to call it, any suggestions? It's not a completely romance-based story but a romantic name is ok but nothing with gay in it, I want it to be more about the characters and have the whole gay thing be just...you know...it exists. They just HAPPEN to be gay. No big deal.

 

Oooh I've been hoping someone would make another one of these!! I'll paste in some stuff in working on later

 

Right now, I have no end in sight, I want to continue it as long as possible without it getting stale. It's very much inspired by The Walking Dead (both my favorite TV show and comic book).

I don't know what yours is based on, like The Walking Dead style or the Left 4 Dead style. But, I'd be more than welcomed to try to generate some ideas for you.

 

I'm juggling a lot of script and/or script ideas. I have at least twenty on my list to tackle, and some of them are stories I wrote a long time ago but just fell into a black hole.

Here's some of the ones that I either finished a rough draft for or I'm working on the framework for it as of this going up.

1) [Mystery/Thriller/Short]: Taking place in the quaint community college town of Mill Creek, we follow the day to day life of a depressed accountant as he tries to survive the motions of life all while a serial kidnapper is lurking in the shadows.

2) [Horror/Anthology]: Almost in the style of a found footage shockumentary, this is an anthology rooted in the Deep Web; featuring twisted stories of sadism and cruelty from a "red room" event where a group of strangers have to play a seemingly harmless game for their lives, to a social recluse chef with a peculiar palette who wants to show you a "recipe for success", and a home video where a romantic camping trip becomes a living nightmare for those involved.

3) [Revenge Thriller / Horror]: After the death of his sister, an emotionally damaged man abducts and tortures a homophobic hitchhiker as retribution for her hate crime fueled murder.

4) [Horror]: A cynical attack on the stereotypes about the horror community made by politicians and parental groups; this found footage movie details the downward spiral of a young person in an attempt to get the attention and admiration of his hero, horror filmmaker Fred Vogel--taking us on a trip to hell as he documents his growing obsession for the director that soon becomes disturbing and deadly fan worship.

5) [Mockumentary]: In the style of a VICE documentary, a film crew goes investigates a mysterious religious group that has slowly started gaining attention over the past fifteen years. Are they just a harmless group with a message, or do they have much more sinister intentions hidden behind closed doors?

 

I'm currently writing a "novel" about two boys trying to find their place in high school. One has to deal with a suicidal widowed mother, while the other has to deal with having no real friends to talk to (despite him being popular). They find similarities in each other's pain when their paths cross and they both begin to discover hidden parts of themselves. Such as their interests, sexual orientations, and what life could really mean to them with someone standing by them.
It's nothing original and it's in no way special, but it's all I have right now. ^v^

 

I have a couple short stories I wrote in college I've been meaning to tweak and maybe turn into something more longer in length. have a couple ideas jotted down from a few strange dreams I've had that I've been wrestling with... but I absolutely suck at writing anything outside the realm of realistic fiction

 

I'm not writing a story or anything like that. I'm just journaling how many fluid ounces, protein, and calories I take in each day. So far, I'm taking in around 30 - 40 fl oz, 50 - 80 grams of protein, and 400 - 700 calories a day. I'm not starving myself. I'm on a liquid diet because I just had stomach surgery because of ulcers.

My goal on fluid intake is 64 fl oz and my protein is 80g. The fl oz is a constant challenge for me because I'm so ADD and it's hard to remember to keep sipping. I'm a gulper, and right now, it hurts too much to gulp because they fixed a hiatal hernia and made my stomach smaller (my stomach had a few ulcers and the Prilosec stopped working).

 

I'm just making characters and figuring out the plot of a fantasy novel about wolf-like creatures. I have been stuck with the plot for a while now, but hopefully I can figure it out soon.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh yaaaaaaaaay, idea sharing.

I had this idea about a dude growing up in a small, rural PA town, and he's gay, and he finds this out over the course of the film, and there's other stuff that happens too, but it's hazy in my…idea…space…thing.

Problem is, all the supporting characters are so much more interesting than the main character as it stands, especially the antagonist.

 

Omfg I love the "The Things Not Mentioned in his Online Dating Profile" that's a really funny one! Although, I'm still not sure what time-period this is cuz Luis uses a frickin typewriter lol but maybe he's just really, REALLY eccentric. :lol:

 

I enjoy writing song lyrics. I have a bunch of lyrics that I could use if I ever decide to compose music. I really should spend more time on the piano.

 

I write fantasy fiction, fanfiction, poetry, and nonfiction.

 

I'm planning out one right now, called "Welcome to Famenta" (which, has an unfortunate abbreviation). It has 6 main characters and has multiple plots surrounding them. There's:

Enla Kaja, who is the protagonist. Ey (Spivak pronouns really caught on in Famenta) based a lot on me. Ey's also agender/genderfluid, asexual, and panromantic. Ey's shy, but nice to eir close friends. In chapter 6 (eir first appearance), ey meets Cero. Ey is 15 right now, but will be 16 when the book starts.

John Helmsley. When he was younger, his father killed himself, so he's still affected by that now. He's one of my only straight main characters. He lives in a bad neighborhood with his mom, Vi, and her girlfriend (later wife), Mona. In his first appearance, he finds out about their relationship, and then they get engaged. He's 15.

Cero Oostergooster. Chapter 1 is moving day for him. He moves from Massachusetts to Famenta, a fictional country east of Japan about the size of Alaska. He's gay and eventually dates Majid Nejem. I don't really have a personality developed yet, but he misses Massachusetts. He was originally a recurring character from my last story, JAMMN. He's one of the more athletic ones. He's also embarrassed by his full name, Cornelius Ecclesius Reginald Oostergooster. He's 15 and later 16.

Alba Hyder. The richest one, and the granddaughter of former president Casey Burkhart. She wants to be like everyone else. When she was younger, she got cancer in her leg, causing it to not work well. She is also one of the more athletic ones despite her leg. She's bisexual, and has a kind of on/off relationship with Josie Nummi.

Tori Rhee-Reeso. Named after something I learned in 7th grade, TORRR REEE REEE REEE SO. Originally thought it was a person. In her first appearance, she finds out her father wants her to move back to Leander, which is a state way up north, similar to Alaska. She's also one of my only straight characters. Her stepsibling is Zenzi. She's dating Dale, who a lot of people, including Enla, find annoying.

Zenzi Darza. Born Kreszenz Držić. My other agender character, and is also pansexual. Eir mother died after ey was born, so eir father raised em by himself.

Also in the story are the characters' parents, Mr. Markson, who runs the school's diversity club; Majid Nejem, Josie Nummi, and Dale Pasternak, their SO's; Jack Hutson, Enla's rival; Nergui, Dale's best friend; and Kenny, the Kajas' mailman.
