forum Need a plot- (tropical!!!!) fantasy brainstorm

Started January 01, 2019 by @kat_i_am

tune

NVM it's end of page 1

lol I just realized charms is on the list twice

I have four categories so far:
elemental
human
sympathetic/channeling
and psychic
What else could I do??
I want two more please

What about astral ?

Hmmm
I feel like that's kind of a cross between human and psychic?

Omnipotent. Lol. Just… all da power.

That's true Kat

Lol
Okay
Consider these two
Dark- which has aspects in all other families of magic, but I feel like the counsel needs to have someone specifically dedicated to this
and non-human but sentient life: so like…. animals. And then mythical creatures

That works, what about Auras?

Hmmm
Like… reading auras?
I think that would be a submagic

Not specifically reading auras more like being able to control/change them? Idk if that's the same thing lol

Hmm
I have no idea
but I think that would be really good human magic? Like with healing?

So I have all 6 of my magic families now I think

Ok, lol

how's the brainstorming going?

uhh
I too have the needy boyfriend which is college
so it hasn't progressed the last few days
I do have my six magic families though
This weekend I hope to get lots of work done on it tho

I had a REVELATION last night
And once you're back I will consult with you about it

i am procrastinating from studying so i am hERE

MOOD

I COULD make this into a peter pan origin story
Bc
It's an island
And Nevari-land could easily become Neverland in the end.

ooooOOOH
i like it
i love spooky/fractured peter pan origin stories

I do have a few problems with it though

1- I decided a week or so ago that I actually wanted to do a female protag, bc I want a strong female cast, and I think the inter-character dynamics would be better with a female protag.
If I did a peter pan retelling, I'd have to have peter be the main character
2- If he becomes a nevari in the end… why would he be human in the future?
3- I don't know if I could make this a stand-alone book if I did it as a Peter Pan origin
4- I already have a peter pan in my queen of hearts novel. I'd have to make sure to clearly distinguish the two universes within my writing.

Problem one could be remedied by doing a gender-bent peter pan. He also could be a different type of Nevari –because honestly, peter pan is a little unnerving as a supposed human. As for the stand-alone thing, you have a point there. If you really want to do a stand-alone, you might want to back out of that idea. I think differentiating the two universes won't be as hard as you think, as long as you make sure the details are very, very different. Plus, peter pan being gender-bent would help distinguish the two.

Yes, but if I do gender-bending, and make him/her into a monster, I'm afraid it would come across as trying too hard?

I don't think I'm gonna do it, but I had to talk to people about it to convince myself of that

Yeah it's really up to you. Either way it'll be brilliant and I think you could pull it off, but if you're leaning towards an completely original story instead of an origin story, go for that.
