The All Knowing Idea Vomit Thread

Sounds good. Is there some reason why they need to be together, need to find eachother. I guess you'd need to have a reason why they were born like that in the first place... ie the grand plan.

Here's mine (not thought through at all)

Set in future, earth miliary exploration to another planet. Planet is peaceful but inhabitants that look like humans have many special abilities. This leads to to twitchyness and fear from humans and figting breaks out through complete misunderstanding. Earth miliary kill a lot of inhabitants and in fear of what they've done they decided to do a high level coverup and declare planet hostile and destroy whole thing. However, one very young alian sneaks abord ship coming back to earth and grows up plotting his revenge - downfall of human race. Indistinguishable from humans but with special abilities he rises to top of tree (either miliary or industry). Finally his goal is in site, he is in the position to start world war 3 or whatever. But having lived most of his life among humans can he really finally bring himself to destroy them all....

I like this one the best so far. Would definitely read it.

this is like really new not thought through at all:

A young princess imbued with special abilities, with the help of her sentient computer must lead a rebellion against a dictator whose army consists of star shaped robots while striving for acceptance by the rebellion.

also i have another one but all i have at this stage is like a poem prologue:

Within slaves lurks the sacred heart
A food that the chosen need
Flowing energy that must be absorbed
While the rulers feed
The human species is its source
That's why they were bred
Immortals search for the taste of The Blood
So that they may be fed

No longer will the slaves sit idle while
Their species is bled

was thinking of fusing the two ideas make the dictator and robots dependant on blood

I had this one over a year ago, but my lack of writing experience at the time wouldn't have been able to do it justice so I kinda...threw it on the back burner until I could see sufficient improvement in my writing abilities.

Anyway:

A king lay on his deathbed, and he must name one of his two children as successor: the elder is a prince who has spent much of his time working with the court advisors to better the kingdom, and the younger is a princess, no older than 10, who is spoiled by her father daily, and spends her days playing (bossing around is more like it) with the nobles' children. Despite the logical choice, the king appoints the kingdom to his daughter before passing away. The prince and royal court disagree and unofficially appoint him instead.

To cover the truth, she is to be sent away, but due to complications, it never happens. Instead, she finds herself alone on the streets, in a world (her would-be kingdom!) she knows nothing about, fighting to survive. The bulk of the story is to be about her experiences as she grows up, witnessing the heavily-woven corruption that went on beneath the nose of her father, and is now going on behind her brother's back as well, despite his efforts to weed it out. Life jades her quite a bit, but her desire for revenge and the reclamation of what's rightfully hers keeps her going.

I want to tell it in a way that, to nearly everyone but herself, she is the "bad guy" and her brother is "the good guy." Unfortunately, a story with the kind of detail I want, and such a large timeline is beyond my abilities right now.

(I've probably posted this one on these forums before, somewhere)

two ideas that just poped into my head the other day

Heaven’s civil war – the war for the Halos

“Heaven is not peaceful even now long after the battle between God and Satan. The angels left in heaven, after that first battle, were all faithful to God, but these angels would have to battle Satan’s army again one day. Thus, conflict breeds conflict, small scuffs break out regularly. Yes, it is true some angels serve God in the meanwhile, but we are not servants, we are warriors. What do idle warriors do? Become frustrated and train, obviously, but why are they frustrated and why do they train?”

“They are frustrated because their only talent is fighting and their talents are not being used, but I’ve found a way to use my talents.”

“They train to become stronger; this is true but an angel’s strength comes from two things, namely God himself and their link to God: their Halo. Thus for an angel to become stronger they need to change one of those attributes. One cannot ask The Big Guy to change it because He created everything for a purpose or something like that. One could try to pray to him to better their Halo, which would take a while, or they could take different Halos or parts of Halos from other angels.”

“Thus I’ve found a solution to the unrest in heaven, battles for Halos. However, I fear what more power will do to some of my brothers’ minds. I took another’s Halo once and He did not do anything, but that was not on purpose. Is my thinking wrong? All I want is peace and to serve God when the time comes. Is my thinking wrong?”

The war for a choice of time

The Annwn invaded earth and war broke out, they would not replace us. Within a few days, the conflict decimated the entire planet: reducing most of the powerful countries to rubble, destroying majority of the native life and changing the earth to an ashen cold dark stagnant planet. 100 years later, the remaining populace 3 million strong assembled forming The Resistance.

The Resistance avoided the Annwn beasts, set loose to destroy the last traces of humanity, scavenged for Actescvel, a substance used to create a drug that prolonged human life span, and performed raids on the Annwn outposts. Eventually they managed to collect samples of the Annwn technology and used them to develop a missile weapon: the Kriegs Mk I.

The Resistance assigned a part of its naval division, Cannock, to test the weapon on an Annwn outpost. During the test, something went wrong an opening wormhole destroyed the Annwn outpost and the entire Cannock became transferred to a time near the onset of the Battle of That Al-Sawari. Eventually the crew of the boats of the Cannock face a decision; they can either partake in the Byzantine-Arab war then possibly live like gods on a fertile earth or attempt to return to their own time to defend an ashen earth. Mutiny breaks out between those that wish to stay and those, which want to return, eventually leading to an all out war.

wat you guys think

Interesting Asher, like Prophecy (the movie), the idea of a war in heaven is great, but the problem I think would come because angels are not necessarily going to fight or die the way humans would, nor even think like humans, so you would have to develop that a lot too.

And thanks for resurrecting the thread I almost forgot about.

Recently I have been thinking out this idea for a short story:

While civil war and invading armies hit the capital city, a young princess is left in charge while her brothers and father fight wars. The story would follow her sudden place of power and the mistakes and good deeds she does. The difference being that I don't want the old spoiled princess story. I'm looking at more a Queen Boudicca type story where the women also fight and lead, although in fewer numbers than men, but I wanted to weave into the story more of a focus on the families and struggles of those that wars leave behind, the refugees and torn families and children and such....most fantasy fiction focuses on the warriors, little focuses on the people who keep civilization and culture and life going while they are off fighting a war. Not really fleshed out yet, but I'm thinking on it...for about another year or so...LOL!
