So, I've got this idea for a story... I'm just going to write (very, very briefly) about it in the spoiler below.
"Whatever is written by humans, although unbeknownst to them, becomes a world of it's own - a sort of alternate-reality.
But these worlds are unstable, unfinished, and fall apart after their story is finished. Their characters do what is written, and rarely have free will.
Anna and her long-time friend Nathaniel travel from world to world, fixing blemishes and ensuring stories go as they were intended until the end.
Along the way, Anna discovers that she's not from a created world but from the "original" one. She and Nathaniel begin looking for clues as to who she was, where she was from, and why she's now trapped in these fake worlds instead of living her life in the real one."
Please take a look at Anna and Nathaniel's profiles and this FAQ before carrying on. It'll make more sense that way.
(If you want, there are also some stories written here about them.)
So above is the little blurp I've got on my character page.
What I'm thinking is in beginning I would work through Anna and Nathaniel's relationship (and his initial reluctance in joining her) by writing about one story in particular where Nathaniel gets to spend more time with Anna than he has in other lives. Then after he sees how important this is to her (and how his lives have really amounted to nothing, that he can find real purpose in helping her) moving onto one or two of their "adventures" fixing blemishes and finding clues and then after that Anna meeting the one who created her (the first part of the story ending there.)
I've got a couple of questions, and just to boost motivation if you'd like I will offer you 20k for every question you answer for me!
Even if you have time to just answer the first question, that'd mean so much to me!
From what you understand:
1. In general, what do you think about this idea?
2. Is there anything that specifically stands out about the idea that you'd like to comment on?
3. What age group do you think would be best to target?
(There is only one, supporting-character romance that I'm planning. Everything else is going to be action/suspense/character development/etc...)
4. What type of ending would you expect/want this type of story to end with?
5. Anything else you'd like to comment on?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read all of this! It means the world to me. c:
