Here’s the latest story idea. A group of people awaken in a sci-fi setting out of pods. They’re unaware of where they are, who they were. It will turn out they’re onboard an orbital space station. What they don’t know is they were put there by the people on the planet below because they were […]
I was thinking about classic sci-fi movie story lines and how I could more or less copy their structure. First off is Star Wars: an old wizard finds a young boy destined to be great and teaches him magical ways to fight off the evil dictator and his army. Next, Star Trek: a group of […]
I wrote this while on our honeymoon in Key West. It’s been on a note stuffed in my wallet for two weeks, I guess it’s time to put it somewhere a bit more permanent.
Taking a page from Neverending Story, Narnia, and the Dark is Rising series (a modern day person discovering an artifact which enables […]
So the latest story ideas are this:
First off is a near future sci-fi adventure short story where an army of robots have invaded earth and destroyed our society. Ragtag bands of freedom fighters continue the fight. The story focuses on a group of three fighters: a young woman, her male friend, and a geeky guy […]
Here’s my first pass at writing a scene in this story. I have several ides for scenes so I think I may write them down and then start to piece them together and fill in the holes. I think the dialogue is casual and believable, but I don’t get mcuh sense of scene from this […]
Once again no real good ideas for the story title. Maybe that’s normal, I don’t know. So I usually come up with something like the subject line here, which refers to the main character’s dress.
This is a story of a man who has everything going well on his life, seemingly on the surface, but […]
Not a sci-fi or fantasy, but a gay fiction. And not necessarily a happy one at that, though it could have a happy ending. It would follow a young adult woman (late teens, early 20s) who is a Christian conservative like her parents. Pro-life, anti-gay marriage, etc. She’s not foaming at the mouth conservative, but […]
No one even mentioned that I had the lost post listed twice. This blog definitely gets a lot of readers!
I was wondering what it would be like if you could somehow reach across time and call yourself ten, twenty years from now. In the past, or in the future. Which would you choose? What […]
Something along the lines of the Running Man, but different.
The story follows at least two characters set (in the future? alternate world?). One seems a good fellow: hard-working, earnest, cares for others. The other is greedy, won’t stop at anything to get his way.
They are both in ‘the game’. Born and bred for it, it’s […]
In the world described in my last post, here’s a tentative pass at a storyline:
*First contact between the starfaring species and the planet-bound magical species. It will establish a lot of the races, culture, world, and the initial conflict. The space race is militaristic and is claiming the planet to ‘protect’ it in an ongoing […]
