Serendipity empathy
Jan. 29th, 2005 11:04 pmI've come the conclusion that I'm more a muse than I ever was an actual writer. I have loads of ideas, gists, snippets etc in my head but fleshing it all out and creating a cohesive story happens once in a blue moon - and then it's just a short story, usually written under duress.
I'd really like to see some of these ideas fleshed out however. I'm considering occaisionally posting ideas and letting people flesh them out as they see fit - either chapters or even a whole story. I'd still own the idea (I was about to say original idea but some of them have the potential to horridly corny and cliched - some writers however could turn them around), and whoever wrote a fleshed out part would own that - I'd just want to see the fleshed out bit, I'd LOVE to see my ideas turn into complete stories.
If I did this the ideas may include...
- A title
- Some characters, with backgrounds if you're lucky
- A basic storyline
- A vibe or gist to the story
- A few events that I'd like to see happen
- A few scenes that I've written myself
Would anyone be interested in taking on these ideas and turning them into something more? This is on my mind now I'm writing it but I'll be gone for 9 months and probably won't have much access to the world of online, so the templates wouldn't be posted until I get back in October probably. But I figure I could post the ideas here in my journal or start a community for those interested. Whatever, give a hoy if you think it could be an idea. :)
