What’s your most ambitious idea for a story?

[DiscoDream]

A looper series with a very unhinged MC. I want to break down the human mind and motivation to it's barest parts by putting the cast through some of the worst things I can think of without it coming off as torture porn, or preachy.

I'm holding off on it for two reasons, one, my computer dun exploded, and I'm not typing that out on a phone. Two, I'm not confident I could write it, without it coming off as pretentious at this point in time.

Creating a fully functional fantasy world complete with images, lore, and fleshed-out history for future use. Whether it be d&d, more stories, or just rereading it for past time and inspiration. I have started it but I do think it'll be years until I will have something even close to resembling that, and over the course of many stories. But knowing my perfectionist ass, I'll prob do a bit, die, come back and never start it again.

1. All of my romance writings shares the same universe so I could do that "Spiderman pointing at each other meme" when they see each other lol
2. Make a fanfic story of every gacha games or games that I've played in general
3. MC destroys the other world by inflation

I was just thinking about this recently because I’m actually attempting stuff that’s fairly ambitious and huge and I don’t know if I’ll succeed but I’m giving a shot.

There’s a lot of ideas that kind of float around my head that are huge or would take a lot of research and work to really get into and that’s kind of what I’m thinking about.

Mine - Concept of humanity dealing with alien settlements and interactions from prehistory and fighting aliens back to early ancient history. Structured kind of like a mini series but would also be an epic set of books going from like clan of the cave bear with aliens and then a sort of retelling of a Babylonian history, and then following into more modern eras where the existence of aliens is just a thing that people have dealt with in religion and it’s more like competing nations rather than something far-flung and weird. It would have to be somewhere between 6 to 12 books with a lot of historical research welding them together.

What is your most ambitious idea for something you’d like to create and why haven’t you been able to do it yet or have you started it yet?

To create 7 stories with different time-related protagonist troupes(regression/possesion/reincarnation) in another world in which their actions cause stir between the world yet they will never collide with each other



I haven't been able to do it due to too much workloads from studies and I doubt my writing skills are still not perfected and lack vocubulary to convey my thoughted out world I created.

1. In a universe where magic is real and humans coexist with dragons and other mythical creatures, a young sorceress named Aria is tasked with finding a powerful artifact that could save her kingdom from an impending war
2. In a universe where humans have colonized Mars, a group of rebels are fighting against the corrupt government that controls the planet. One of the rebels, a hacker named Eve, discovers a plot to destroy Earth and must find a way to warn the people back home
3. In a universe where time travel is possible, a group of scientists have been sent back in time to prevent a catastrophic event that occurred in the future. One of the scientists, a woman named Sophia, becomes separated from the rest of the team and finds herself in ancient Egypt

want to combine this universe somehow but honestly am out of juice

 

[gaylolis]

instead of a story, I kind of want to write in a way that positively affects me in real life.

when it comes to ambition, i'd like to see some of the things i write become real and benefit me to its fullest.

i guess i got insane for a bit while working on it, but i'll just take things slow this time.

 

[Tempokai]

I thought of this premise recently. It's about regressor that was tired of dying saving the world and failing in it saying "fuck it" and going to vacation away from the main events.

 

[melchi]

I had this idea about a whole semiconductor foundry gets transported to another world. All the workers get turned into various demi-humans and the people of the world treat it like a dungeon to loot. A lot of stuff could be magically changed (Like a server room could be a dungeon core) and much more stuff be broken and in need of repair.

 

[Thekherham]

Once upon a time I wrote a huge 'autobiographical' novel featuring my alter ego (see my signature) from birth until his twenties. I have it somewhere on one of my USB sticks and it may one day see the light of day again.
I also wrote a fictional non-fiction (is there such a thing?) about my aliens, writing about such things as appearance, social life, reproduction, history etc etc That too is somewhere.
Compared to these a novel like Act Naturally was child's play.

 

[Fox-Trot-9]

A Chinese vampire supernatural horror story set at the height of communist rule in China, written in the epistolary style of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Lot's and lot's of research, dear God, which is why I haven't committed to this story yet. I think I need to set it in different time period, so I have more access to information.

 

[StainedGlassThreads]

Visual novel with multiple routes and multiple bad ends, from the perspective of a grieving god's reincarnated best friend and rival, who was last alive thousands of years ago and now awakens in a more modern post-apocalyptic setting, trying to piece together what happened in his absence, what the state of the world presently is and what the hierarchy's like, where several key figures are (and what they're doing), how to destroy several threats, and how to generally leave the world a better place than he found it. Would ideally require playing through several different routes to gather information about all of this and what's happening, with one final, lengthy route where you pull all the stops to try and get the best possible ending. Strong metafiction themes, strong themes of grief and change and trying to better oneself.
If I'm going really crazy, it'd be cool if there were voice acted, animated, and playable segments at certain points. But that's not what I'd consider necessary and is just, if I somehow came into a lot of money to make this happen. I'm pretty sure I can do most of the writing and art on my own, but a coder I am not. XD

 

[ConansWitchBaby]

Guy getting summoned from an early space colonization Earth timeline to another world. He does regular isekai stuff until he can partially return. Once he does that however, that's when a limit is reached, Earth is opened up to a larger Yggdrasil type of connection. Turned out that the reason we couldn't get proof of other intelligent life was because they all used magic in the end; our technology wasn't tuned for the metaphysical. So, it becomes a threeway story between a typical isekai world, early Earth colonizing the solar system with Europa filled with rich immortals, and the broader corner of the galaxy that now has free pickings toward humanity.

I started this fever dream when I played Star Ocean 3.

 

[ShrimpShady]

A sorta isekai series about a slime guy who wakes up in a forest with no memories. It sees a human being pass by and asks for help, but the human tries to kill the slime instead. In self-defense, the slime manages to kill the guy and consume him, turning itself into the guy who we learn is actually an isekai hero. The slime gains the hero's powers and memories. With nothing better to do, the slime decides to just live the isekai guy (iseguy)'s life. But we later learn the iseguy's an asshole who participates in the slave trade (worst isekai trope) and that there are other iseguys as well who are assholes and cause trouble for everyone.

The story then becomes kinda like The Boys with this slime guy fighting against heroes who are running amok. Insert some Blade Runner 2049 shit (never watched the movie) where the protagonist starts to wonder about his past and memories.

 

[Shamiko]

A story about a human that was reborn as a god that can reincarnate beings. She travels to other worlds so I need to think about each world's history and what beings will reside in each one.
