All I remember about the one I wrote when I was very young was that is was a short story that had a whole bunch of Star Wars and videogame stuff put in. It was basically brain-barf on a page.

Another more recent one involved a mix of two prompts. One was about a zombie and a ghost of the same person existing at the same time, while the other was about the Grim Reaper basically being afterlife HR. The MC figured out how to get his zombie to follow him around, and so he ends up getting killed and sort-of proselytizing to a woman that didn't know about the afterlife and was worried about what was on the other side. It was weird and ended with Death discussing the woman's options because she was agnostic.

When I was in first grade I wrote this story called "they mysterious touch" or something like that and this is what happened.

  • Main character monologues about how someone touches her shoulder every once in a while but when she turns around, no one is in the room with her 😲😲😲😲😲😲 (why is she in empty rooms so often? no one knows)
  • Main character turns around fast once and it's just her best friend.

that's the entire story but with better grammar that I used

@Starfast group

I was about to start writing about some of the wacky subplots in my stories but seeing as though some of you are talking about stories that you wrote when you were younger, I guess I'll tell you about my first OC and the story that I had planned (but never actually wrote).

  • MC was named Shadow. She was 10, 11, 12 however old I was irl at the time, but was totally not a self insert.
  • She lived in modern day Canada, just outside of Vancouver on a horse farm. She had like a million horses, and showed them at a really high level and also taught lessons even though she was literally a child.
  • And here's where it starts getting um, stupid (not that it isn't already at this point). Shadow's family was actually from this alternate dimension fantasy land called Nar and everyone from Nar had the ability to turn into a certain animal. Shadow could turn into a horse (shocker). So could all her friends (I feel like it's important to mention that this ability never served any real purpose in the story).
  • They also had the ability to travel through portals that went from our world to Nar and vice versa.
  • Nar was also "terrorized" by this weird, creepy, cult group called the Midnight Guardians. I've had people on other sites tell me that this is fairly impressive. If you happen to agree you really shouldn't because it's basically plagiarism
  • The Midnight Guardians didn't really serve any purpose other than to make things miserable for Shadow and her friends
  • Anyways, the story starts out when Shadow meets another Narian boy. It's her first time meeting one in the modern world who isn't also part of her family. He was also the same age as Shadow, and homeless. His name was Caidor and that name is maybe the best thing to come out of this story.
  • Shadow ends up becoming friends with Caidor and her mom lets him live with them without questioning anything.
  • One day Shadow and Caidor are hanging out with Shadows Narian friends and the Midnight Guardians kidnap Shadow.
  • It somehow comes to light that Caidor sold her out. I forget his motive exactly, but I think it was something along the lines that he was recruited by them after his parents died or something because he had like no one else to look after him?
  • Caidor ends up helping Shadow escape. Anyways, it doesn't matter because he felt really bad about what he did, so obviously he is forgiven and becomes the love interest (did I mention these guys are like 10?) The end.
  • But not really the end because I had like 7 book planned and all of them follow the format of someone getting kidnapped by the guardians and then everyone else in the friend group banding together and breaking into the guardian's prison (which was supposed to be inescapable, by the way).

TLDR, Mary Sue gets kidnapped. That's it. That's all that ever happens. Also, there's plagiarism.

I was fourteen and had just learned how to draw people and was going wild with character design. Out of my daydreams featuring my newest characters came this:
Four fifteen-year-old girls are best friends in high school and one of them wants some gum, so she goes to the snack shack at the lake they're all hanging out at and buys four flavors so she can share with her friends- but oops! Turns out all the gum is actually from this experimental lab and everyone thought they'd destroyed those samples, but instead they… somehow ended up at this shack? Anyways. Each of the girls takes a different flavor gum and now they can each control earth, air, water, and fire, respectively.
I had also just started watching AtLA, if you couldn't guess.
Anyways. After that, one of the scientists (read: henchman for Big Baddie) working for a corporation interested in the gum IMMEDIATELY shows up and tries to kidnap the four girls, despite having no realistic way of knowing that they've eaten the gum. He is also able to kick their asses, despite their sudden level of extreme control over their element, but… doesn't capture them? For some reason? So all four girls run off (with, mind you, literally nothing but the clothes on their back) and start trying to figure out how to get their lives back to normal. I think the only realistic part of all of this was that none of the girls wanted to give up their sick new abilities.
It never got much farther than that. I know water girl (her name was Benicia, it's the only one I remember) and air girl created a blizzard at one point, and also that Benicia's little brother (like, ten years old) was apparently at the lake with them that day, ate all four flavors of gum, and immediately turned evil as a result. I think the scientist ended up recruiting him.
I think I abandoned this story in about two weeks, but to this day, I've remained weirdly true to the "little brother turns evil against heroic older sibling due to forces outside his control." Don't know why.

@Mojack group

This is really, really recent. Summed up, people from our realm visit a realm known as the chaos realm. One of the characters is a turned immortal person who made a deal with an invincible spoon that can shapeshift into any weapon you can think of, the people of this realm engage in hourly turf wars that are a lot crazier than it sounds. There’s floating islands, water worlds, literal kangaroo courts, pens can be mightier than the sword (literally, again), giant mechs, giant mechs with death lasers, giant chickens, rainbows that can be walked on, and a lot more than that.

With that being said it’s not a child friendly story, trust me. It’s kind of a break from my serious worlds though, with this world I can have a bit more fun with it.

I was in 3rd grade when I created 'Strange Daycare'. It was literally just the people at my daycare but they all suddenly gained powers after naptime one day. I barely got 3 pages in but I was already thinking about the next books and if I remember correctly the third was about all the kids fighting a wall monster at my school.
I don't know what I was smoking but yeah, it happened

That sounds like something that kids would actually enjoy reading!

plot for a short story i wrote as filler

Cameron: you put my dad in jail, prepare to die
Samuel: he deserved it
Cameron: oh okay thats fair i won't kill y ou now

@corbinheb3

My characters traveled to another planet, and essentially the oxygen makes them high. Alec ends up killing one of the Ghostbusters, and then Haiden ends up trying to convince Guns N Roses to let him perform with them so they can pay for bail to get Alec out. Then they go back to Earth and drive a bus to Cochella.

Oh man, I have been waiting to dump this garbage on someone. Buckle up XD
One of the first stories I was ever really excited about (that wasn't fanfic lol) was set in NYC, which I know almost nothing about, and centered around this secret society of fighters that protected the city from….I dunno, gangs I guess? In particular this one gang led by a fifteen-year-old girl who had vowed to destroy the society for some reason and could somehow control a group of adult gangsters just by sheer intimidation. Anyway, the society's members all used special weapons inspired by…..ever heard of poi? Basically they're balls of fire or electronic lights that swing on ropes and you spin them in patterns. There's plenty of cool stuff on YouTube if you have no idea what I'm talking about. But unfortunately, the idea of creating weapons based off them is unrealistic, obscure, and didn't help me come up with an actual plot for the story. So, I did what I always (and still) do: Added magic to spice things up.
This super-super GoodTM guy was part of the society, and he was always happy, and had wings and magic healing powers, but could only use them when he was listening to happy music. Suppress your gag reflex, there's more. The fifteen-year-old gangster hired a teenage kid who was super-super EvilTM. He was basically a vampire ripoff who consumed souls instead of blood, and who hated music.
So. Evil kid attacks the leaders of the society with his magic. The Good kid tries to heal them, but he's not strong enough and proceeds to steal everyone's attention by moping around until they go and talk to him, at which point he miraculously returns to his chipper self. Then the Evil Kid is sent to target the Good Kid's girlfriend (oh and this other side character who's entire character arc revolves around the fact that people regularly forget she exists), and Good Kid goes RAMBO. By which I mean he corners Evil Kid on a rooftop, then spins his poi and plays music really loud until Evil Kid is somehow knocked off the building by raw positive energy. Evil Kid barely survives, there's a car chase scene, Good Kid's wings are revealed, and then the side character everyone forgets about proceeded to strangle Evil Kid to death and throw him off a bridge. Side character is 12, btw.
In the end, the fifteen-year-old gangster girl redeems herself, the leaders of the society recover from their injuries, Good Kid and his girlfriend are nominated as leaders in training, and everybody has a dance party. I had five more books planned.

@Shadow_Knight group

Alright! This is the first story I really put effort into. I think I was in 7th grade when I did this.
-There were things called Gracos with meant that the Greek gods blessed a family line with a power.
-Main character is Alexandra. She has invisibility. Both parents are dead from a car crash.
-Government doesn't like this and makes area 53 to experiment on them.
-Lives at orphanage and the day after that Gracos are going to be sent to Area 53 Alexandra finds girl behind a hedge growing flowers
-proceds to put trust in her and tell her she is Graco
-Girl is Graco too
-They run away together
Ta Da! I went back over it and read it and it´s just so cringe.

caveman gets frozen in ice, survives into the modern age, is thawed out and hired by two idiot teenagers so he could become a professional wrestler for them

….honestly though, if I saw an ad for a comedy tv show with that premise, I would be thoroughly unsurprised and might even watch it XD

Why does this sound like a Bill and Ted movie?
