This is essentially a discussion group for helping you to create your plots for the next projects. You need to have a basic idea of what you want to write first.

Ask yourself: what genre do I want to write? What is the basic idea? What is the premise of this story?

Once you have the basics down, feel free to begin posting what you'd like help with on here. Please note: this is not for 'us' to create your story plot for you; it is to help you develop your own ideas.

Tolky
I'm developing a fantasy story at present. It's about lots of different races of fantasy creatures, but the least likely of these races ends up saving the day. Frodo basically saves the whole world from distruction when some bad guy tries to wipe everything good out of the world. I'm kind of stuck though... Frodo's gone on this 'mission' with his best mate Sam but I've just realised that this big evil guy (the dark lord? I don't know... I'll think of a name later) would be far too smart to make it possible for anyone to come sneaking in to ruin his big plans...


Obviously, I'm describing the introduction of characters like Golum, and it is of course Lord of the Rings, but you get the idea. biggrin

Hm, I guess I'll try this out.

So, I have an idea for a short story.
I have this middle aged guy, he has nothing really going on with his life. He works as a burger flipper at some unknown fast food place. There's nothing interesting about him. His mother's worst fear has always been that he was going to turn into a serial killer and I want him to fulfill his mother's worst fear.

I'm having a hard time transitioning from this averageish guy to a mass murder.


...
I hope I did that right. sweatdrop
