Oneshot Stop Topic Ideas

2 days ago

I'm starting a collection of short stories centered around different topics/emotions, all of which I'll put into one story game as a sort of 'library'. I just want to know what topics/emotions people are interested in or would like to see written about. Mainly because I'm indecisive. So, any topic/emotion ideas?

This would be easier to propose ideas for if there were any frame of reference for the stories themselves. Maybe write one or two of them out with your own ideas and then it'll be easier for others to suggest on-brand topics.

Also, since you're here, you should join in on the Prompt Contest, there's still more than two months before the deadline.

Sounds like a plan.  I'll do two stories on opposite ends of a spectrum to get a feel for the variety and range of topics, emotions, and such. Thank you.

If we are talking about stories based on emotions, I'd like to see one based on jealousy. It's an underrated motivator for both nefarious plots and training montages with cheesy background music.

Clay, you brilliant, brilliant man! Thank you for the inspiration! I'll note it and do a story on jealousy.

I hope people decide to read your profile/bio this time. I think its one of your better ones as I can tell you put a lot of thought into how you worded the whole thing!

 

;)

Welcome back friend! :D *hugs* This was an unexpected surprise but a welcome one! (Also I'm pretty sure I was the one who didn't get back to you over Discord, but that doesn't matter anymore as I definitely will now! :O)

But yeah, like you said in your bio, let's not be annoying weirdos this time and just stay in our lane/on the downlow for a while! (at least on this site anyways...) Maybe we can secretly work together to overthrow everything or something! lol :P

Alien, I missed you so much! *hugs back* I hope people read my bio too, cause I did put lots of thought and meaning into it and mean every word. 

 

Doesn't matter who didn't respond on Discord, I'm here now and life is gonna be great because of it! 
 

Yes, less talkie, more readie and writie. Yes! I'll start plans for the rebellion asap! But we need more numbers first!  lol. XD

 

I wish it weren't 5 in the morning so that I could come up with something more thoughtful, but I have work at 6 today.... :,)

 

Missed ya bud! (Did I already say that? lol. I don't mind saying it again) XD

I would suggest using this:

Go depth into the emotions instead of the shallow "angry, sad"

Maybe even pick an emotion you aren't familiar with and research it and attempt a story.

Thank you Dire! I was actually planning on diving into Sorrow, but I'll add Rage or Furry to the list! 
 

Also, I missed you while I was offline. ^^
