@FantaPop

Yo, I thought it'd be pretty cool to see how widely the demographics varied on this site, so feel free to share a quick summary of your current wip(s)!

My current ones are "lesbian werewolves in the midwest", "rogue murders her way to stardom", and "old-school historical fantasy but gay".

@cami

i would read all of those.

uh i might describe mine as "fairy girl reluctantly goes into battle against her evil brother, and she's gay"; "fairy girl is seduced by evil sorceress, and has sex with everyone"; "fairy girl escapes torture but would go through it again for the people she loves, and she never falls in love because she's too busy fighting for a realm."

@Urby

This is one of my favorite writing exercises and it never fails to make me laugh.

"space trains on the fritz, broke university students try to help"
"furries try to bring back the sun"
"girl kisses dragons so much she becomes one"
"baby mewtwo and the nicest computer virus try to be friends"
"pilot and her sentient spaceship have adventures"
and "I thought this was high fantasy why are there robots"

@Astrid

Mine is literally
"magic girl falls in love with powerful villain"
"villain loves her and seduces her into having sex"
"villain turns out to be her brother"
"villain knew she was his sister all along"

such roughness of draft. WELP. thats a quick and dirty summary

@Mish

Ohmigosh, this looks like loads of fun! (I LOVE, everyone else's summaries btw. I'd totally read, like, all of them. XD)

Okay, here are some of mine:
"Office Interns on the Hellicarrier slack of at their jobs and fangirl/boy over super heroes. Sometimes the Housekeeping crew join in too."
"The world outside the walls isn't as evil as the lazy monarchy claims."
"Shapeshifter goes to college, blows up a couple labs, and makes a friend."
"Normal girl falls in love with hot stranger. Tons of fluff ensues."
"British Pirate and Romanian Pirate kill a bunch of people and fall in love." (Based off of a LARP that I took part in. I was the British Pirate. ;D)
"People with wings! Bird wings!" (<The least fleshed out story I have.)
"A girl with bat wings, a girl who can read minds, and a girl who can control fire all end up at a guy who can control electricity's house. Chaos ensues."
"Two British cousins, a conspiracy theorist and a handicapped photographer, are paid a visit by the Sorcerer Supreme."
"Two tweenage kids learn that they can "jump" into books via their vivid imagination."

@@NothingHappened871

@Mish Your summaries are hilarious XDD Here are mine:

"A girl has a baby with another girl and gives it away" (<Don't ask how.)
"High school student's family dies and she gets a gun. Guess what happens next."
"Chaos and cupcakes have a presidential race."
"Everyone transitions to the afterlife."
"Why is everybody wearing bikinis?"
"Two teenagers secret identities are enemies but they're dating in real life." (>This is probably the funniest story to write.)
"Person dies repetitively."
"Accidentally steals the Statue of Liberty."

Al

Nice looking good guys! Mine are:
"A whole lot of drama and betrayal between the dragon clans."
"Alice in Wonderland set in modern times and she accidentally falls back in years later and must escape."
"Gender-bent Beauty and the Beast with elements of other fairy tales woven in."
I totally appreciate feedback on which ideas have potential/if you've already seen this idea somewhere ;D

@Broken Princess

I love doing this because it reminds me of bad movie summaries and those are funny.

  • A goody-two-shoes helps juvenile delinquents kill a respected member of society
  • A princess really just wants revenge, not a guy, but life isn't fair
  • An alien on earth does everything she isn't supposed to do

Anyone have thoughts? ^-^

@childoftheuniverse

"kid with no dad finds father figure in a guy only 9 years older than him"
"science geek girl follows quiet boy around until they become friends"
"alcoholic mom takes care of her dog and lives a simple life"

@joufflucharlie

Book 1: "Two teens flip-flop dimensions and are forced to solve other people's problems"
Book 2: "Mute boy and new friends kick some dragon ass while shit hits the fan back home"
Book 3: "the four normal-ish ones try to save their possessed friends but get psyched out a few times"
Book 4: "exists because I suck at tying up loose ends I unintentionally created"

@Tarrant_Korrin

"witch in training gets the crappy magic. witch in training flirts with prince. witch in training falls for prince's sister. witch in training becomes the bad guy."

@stargirl-3213

XD I love reading these! Here are mine:

  • "girl breaks up with boyfriend and world war 3 ensues" <- this is by far my favorite book i've written so far :)
  • "ripoff natasha romanoff"
  • "sisters whose friends are kidnapped by assassins and one sister almost dies"
  • "someone who wants to kill herself gets a chance to see what would happen if she did"
  • "everyone is blind except the government and 2 citizens and they overthrow the government"
  • "loki falls in love with a mortal girl" (stupid MCU fanfic, I know)

I can't think of any others but yeah XD

@AliasAlistiere

To name my top current 3…
"Local teen finds alien siblings hiding out in his school, near death experiences and shenanigans ensue"
"A family can totally be a psychic lab-created humanoid weapon and her two science dads"
"Totally done boy ends up becoming babysitter for two renoun wanted thieves"

@Masterkey

I read through all of these and they're amazing. Here are my different stories:

"Ninja-knight-assassin boy, stuck up prince, and tiny badass gypsy-thief girl all hate each other at first but become best, war-stopping friends."
"Princess is so irritating she gets cursed to sleep forever. Gets rescued by an equally bored peasant who decided to save her for the lolz."
"Runaway foster kid gets kidnapped back in time to become a time-traveling, future-telling lord and finds out she's gonna be evil."

Those are my major works right now. :D

@Poison Pen

Right now what I'm working on is "anxious kid tries to fight god with the help of the physical form of depression and an eldritch horror taking the form of an 11 year old, everyone cries a lot on the way"
There's also the idea of "sweet sunshine child summons the dead because he wants friends and has trouble talking to living people" that's been rattling around in my head

@queenflorence

1- "Future world is radiated, people have powers band with people who don't, trying to find who's murdering the innocent."
2-"Girl turns 18 and finds out magic is real, friends are the reason she's alive, meets a guy."

There's so much more to these stories, but I have no idea how to quickly summarize without giving stuff away so people will still be interested… :3

@nekh

oh boy here are my three unrelated stories

"girl tries to raise a dragon, everyone thinks she's investigating murder"
"two humans have to hold the fort because the big dragons are too lazy to get off their asses"
"they hurt her husband so she SLAUGHTERS THEM"

@LiaAron

well currently i have the vague outline for a series in the works, which will include:

"girl learns how to weave through infatuation and also she's a fairy?"
"you're engaged to my brother but you're hot and i'd die for you"
"my sister and fiancee are dead so now seems like a good time to lose my memory"
"prequel: magic formal wear and how it can ruin your life forever"

these are all based loosely on fairy tales, feel free to guess which ones haha (the third is a bit of an outlier and just ties up the loose ends of the others but still)

@spences

oh dang my current wip is magic band kid falls for magic introvert? (it's better than it sounds i promise) and the token abandoned wip is: gay outcasts get arrested multiple times (also better than it sounds)

Deleted user

@WriteOutofTime

"attack on titan but with dragons"
