I have a few loose ideas that I want to string together into a story. First of all, setting. It wouldn't be post-apocalyptic technically. It's kind of just the natural ebb and flow of things that societies and cultures come and go given enough time. I spend A LOT of time thinking about how one day we're going to have different languages, countries, cultures, ect. that don't exist now and ours are going to be gone, so why not write about it ? But I also want to do something that's strongly influenced by Celtic mythology so I'm wondering if I could combine the two somehow or keep those seperate. Maybe just have some influences of Celtic mythology but not as an overriding theme because it might be too far off in the distant future if there's going to be new languages and civilizations. Maybe just use it for inspiration for any existing mythologies they have.
Ughh, do I want to keep it realistic or make it fantasy ? Fantasy is just, so much more fun to write, but first of all I'd have to come up with a reason as to why there's magic again and second of all I don't want it to be too much like SSSS to feel like I'm stealing from it with the whole "It's the future and there's magic again !!!" thing, but then again that's also kind of how Adventure Time is, hmm, idk ;_; I did kind of get the idea from adventure time a bit I guess, and that's actually one of the first things I thought of when I started reading SSSS was "Hey it's like Adventure time, it's the future and there's magic again !!!" but if I did that I'd have to find a way to make it original and totally my own so that people don't go "hey isn't this just like Adventure Time ??"
Ohhh do I want to go far enough into the future where noticeable evolutionary changes have happened with some of the flora and fauna ?? That might be kind of fun but I don't know if I know enough about biology to do that . .
And how could I put some of my beloved OC's that I talked about into this universe. Such as, I mentioned them in the OC thread but there's the twins, the ones where one only can use their magical abilities or some sort of powers when the moon is waxing or full while the other only can when the moon is waning or new. Then the other OC who is some sort of impish trickster personality thing. I originally wanted them to be fae of some kind but we'll see if that fae-ness fits into this world ?
I've also had an idea for a while about two characters, one is one of the last of a group of something that got mostly genocide'd off but as a youngin' to protect them they were hidden among the general population. The other is someone who's part of the group that did the genocide and they're trying to track down the first character to finish the job, second character is doing deep recon to find the first character, they don't know who each other is and they end up developing a very close friendship so dRaMa ensues ~
Because the first character, the idea of them being the last of something that was genocide'd off sounds almost mary-sue-ish to me I might combine that character with the trickster imp-ish one and make them one in the same. I feel like it might be harder to classify a character as a mary sue when they're a mischievous insufferable little pain
Sighhhh maybe I'll figure out a way to string this all into a story. In the mean time just, do research on things, and work on doing small projects to improve my writing.
