expanding on lost in the forest:
A scientist had just built a robot human size (2 arms 2legs etc) and to help it adjust to the world the scientist brings it to the forest, and to not get lost they bring a guide. But it turns out the guide is the one that gets them lost.
And the robot doesnt have anything useful like gps or anything but only random dumb things that we could think of on the way-
So it would be just a story about a scientist, a useless robot, and a dumb forest guide.

I like the idea of being lost in the woods, or camping, but I'm not sure all of us would be able to pull off complex,or any robots at all for that matter.
As for the light/dark idea. It sounds interesting, but at the same time a lot is already laid out, somewhat defeating the purpose of...hmm the randomness of the project? Well at least the spontenaity of it (I know I totally misspelled that). You could even switch the genders in the story you described (the guy would be the wimp in a dark world and vice versa). Girl power, yeah? Not enough non-wimpy girls in comics.

Well I was originally working off a generic idea in that thread, with the girl originally being the princess of light and the boy originally be the prince of shadow. I decided to keep the personalities but switch the realms they lived in, causing chaos >w< It's true though, that might limit our ideas. I just kinda liked it personally x33
I've had a few plot bunnies floating around in my head, but I'm curious to see if anyone else could come up with some more ideas.

I think its better to stick with a really simple plot, to allow each artist a creative freedom on their part. Just one or two simple goals the character(s) have to reach, ex. A boy and a girl are lost in the woods and they have to find their way out. If it gets to overcomplicated its not really going to be enjoyable to have to stick with a really rigid plotline - as long as one simple plot point is consistent with everyone I think that would be fine and a lot more interesting story wise.

I lack original ideas and character ideas, so I use this website: Plot Scenario Generator I hope it's a little bit of help.

Alrighty then, so we're set on a more simple plot, and scratching the whole Angel/Demon world thingy. Any ideas aside from lost in the woods (not that I don't like the lost in the woods idea, but I want to see if there's anything else we can come up with)? I've been kind of juggling a "boy works in a crazy a** shop" idea in my head for a while too. :l

Hmm..
Here's my ideas ::
How about one or two of the characters being superstar idols, who are looking for people to join their group. (Whether it be a music group or acting group or performers group) The two idols are rivals of each other, but both have funny/odd secrets that they don't want anyone to know about. Stuff starts to go wrong when one of the idols trips and falls onto one of the other characters. The other character fakes fainting. And then while the idol is wondering what to do, their secret gets exposed in some way or another (depending on what their secret is). The character who pretended to faint "comes to" and walks off with the idol's secret. Later on that character is chatting with a group of friends (other characters) and almost exposes the idol's secret. But then they think that they might be able to use the secret to join the idol's group and get close to the idol.
Meanwhile the main idol's rival is holding auditions for their group. A different character who happens to walk in on the auditions on accident, catches the eye of the rival and is immediately put into the group, causing jealousy.
And it goes on from there....
Ack. I think I may have made it to complex though. D:
So lets just leave it at :: There are two idols who are rivals. They are both trying to recruit people to their group, and get to the top.

Ichigo: I'm sorry but I'm going to say but that storyline is a bit too much. Woah, I almost didn't catch the last sentence. *headslap* I actually kind of like that idea, the attempt to recruit people to be the bet group. Opens the way for a lot of silly happenings and entertaining failures adventures. Heh heh heh twisted
pieprsn: Looks like it I guess. I have to agree with Vena though. I remember planning for a comic in my last guild, the ideas were good, but were getting complicated. Guess how far those ideas went. The only successful comic that lasted for about 13 pages was a halloween comic, a scenario was introduced by me, it started on a whim by a member who drew four pages to start it off. I think it only ended because it was too holiday-focused and everyone gave up.
So yes. Simple is very good when dealing with a larger amount of people who will be guessing what will happen next as the story unfolds.
Just a question, what kind of shop would it be? Like Mr. Magorium's emporium?

I like the idol idea, and it might be fun to think of goofy songs for them to sing and their recruiting methods. I like this idea the best so far.

I was thinking something along the lines of "Crazy Old Man who owns a shop that makes weapons of mass destrution that are too crazy and/or cruel for the military to use in actual battle." *shrug* It was a plot bunny. They whisper in my ears when I swim every night. I've got plenty of them, but that was one that stuck out to me. Another was (don't groan) a dream I had about a guy trapped in a theme park. If I were to just be generic with it like that, and not mention the specific details (NARWHALS!!!!) it could be do-able I guess.

I also like the weapon shop idea, it would be fun thinking of ideas for weapons, like the idols could go there to get a weapon to recruit people, sorry I kind of mixed up the ideas.

I have a bedtime story that we can improve on: Quote: There was once a magician who had many dolls. One was a iron clock doll who would hit his iron hammer on the bell on the roof. After 12 years of hitting, the doll stikes the clock again at midnight. It is supposed to strike 12 times but this time it strikes it 13 times. His years of servitude, bound by the spell that made him come to life, has ended. He goes to the magician and tells him that he wants to be human. The magician tells him that he needs to go to the Silver River(has a large concentration of magic) and bathe himself there. Meanwhile, somewhere in the basement, a sandalwood doll wakes up at the thirteenth strike. She was so used to hearing the bell strike 12 times that somehow the extra one woke her up. Awake, she contemplated her existence. The magicians children had all grown up and she had been left in the attic for years. She leaves the attic and confronts the magician, telling him she wants to become a real child herself. The magician tells her to go bathe in the Silver River. Somewhere along the way, the two creations meet up and then travel together. They reach the Silver River and the Iron boy is suddenly afraid. "What'll happen if it doesn't work?" he asked ",I'm made of iron, so that means I'll sink if so." "It's ok, I'm made of wood so if it doesn't work, I'll still be able to float," said the sandalwood girl ",if you sink then I'll save you." Hand in hand, the two jumped and resurfaced as humans! Swimming back to the river bank, they danced in celebration and lived happily ever after.
