Title: Want ideas for fanfics?
Post by: The Chronicler on July 05, 2008, 10:36:59 PM
As you may know by now, I am currently writing my first fanfic. I am very determined to get it finished (this is because I have never yet finished any project I wanted to do during my free time). Once I have finished it, I will then work on a sequel for that fanfic. In fact, I'm already planning three sequels for it :wow . Since I'm the only LBT fan and Bionicle fan around here, I've felt like I should dedicate my writing of fanfics to this series of fanfics that I've planned and still planning for almost a year now.

As a consequence, I will likely never be able to write fanfics for any of the dozens of other ideas for LBT fanfics I've been coming up with. I think some of these ideas are great, and it would be a shame for no one to ever hear of them or see them actually turned into a fanfic. :(

The solution: I'll give away these ideas, and see if anyone would be willing to go anywhere with them. I won't be giving out any at this moment, but starting tomorrow, I'll post any acceptable idea for an LBT fanfic that I happen to have at the moment. If some of you think a certain idea would do better as an RPG instead of as a fanfic, go right ahead.

So, is anyone willing to accept ideas from me?

off topic: this is my 500th post :D

I'd love to hear some ideas, though I'm pretty much in the same predicament as you are seeing how I plan to extend A Jedi's destiny into a full-length trilogy with at least one triple-crossover spinoff.

I am writing one fanfic now I'm planning one or two sequals or prequals. I have 9 chapter written but 8 have major work before I post them on fanfiction.net. I have 1 chapter up so far.

Are there any completely LBT ideas, that is stories with no crossing overs or elements that would not be included in an LBT movie? Perhaps some ideas could be integrated into the online RPG project?

Malte- Let's see... I'd have to say that somewhere between 1 and 10 percent of the ideas I've come up with over the past years are within that area. In other words, I don't have many, but I do actually have some. Unfortunately, I can't seem to recall any of them at the moment. I'll think about it.

Now let's see... which idea would be a good one for the first one to be posted...
Here's an interesting one I've had for a while: the gang circles around the world. What happens is that they somehow end up lost in the big water (the ocean). They remain afloat for many days until they finally reach land. However, they eventually realize that it's an entirely different land (another continent). Thinking they can reach the Great Valley on land, they cross the whole continent, only to realize that they have to cross another big water to reach their home land. After that, they walk for a few more days until they finally return to the Great Valley. Along the way, they become friends with some of the dinosaurs in the other lands. At one time, a traveling flier helps the gang by offering directions.

How does this idea sound? If any of you would like to write a fanfic (or start an RPG) based on it, let me know, and I'll give you even more info on the idea.

Sounds like it could be an idea.  If animated it would fit better as a mini series or an entire season.  Maybe they could encounter either Mo and / or Elsie during part of the journey, up to you though.

It can fit as either a fanfiction, rp, or both, up to you.  The main thing would be why would they go to the water. There are a number of possibilities.  If part of it took place during the days when there is lots of sky water, forgot what the gang called that.  Something could happen and they could be washed out of the great valley maybe.  Though I'm sure you and others may have other ideas.

I, for one, would like to see someone try to create a Harry Potter/LBT crossover. Anyone feeling up to it?

Anyone feeling up to writing a fanfiction that is not a crossing over but true to LBT? -_-

I wrote a one shot song fic years ago that I actually posted here if you want to read something that's at least "true" to LBT.

And my story...I can't stay it's true to LBT...at least not completely...but it's definitely NOT a crossover.

I'd like to know if anyone is willing to try the idea I provided here, the first of many that I will give away. I would easily say that it's not a crossover, and it would be very close to true to LBT but not 100%. Again, just let me know if any of you would like to use my idea, and I'll give you more specific parts of that idea.

Err...I need some help with a fanfiction for The Animals of Farthing Wood I'm writing. It's the third season from Adder's veiw, and because it's the third season, it's very hard to do. I managed to get the Prelude, first, and second chapter posted, but I'm having a lot of trouble with other chapters, especally 3 (somewhat), 4 (something of big trouble), 5 (big trouble here), 6, 10 (somewhat), 11, and 12.

What sort of help do you need?

Mostly filling in spaces. My goal of the story is to show how much Adder changes through Sinuous, but also a way to show what the heck they're doing when the foxes, owls, weasels, and rats are stealing all the time to the point where their appearances are worthless to the storyline  <_<

I guess you mean original plot ideas as to what they were doing that whole time.  


------

As for pure LBT, that would be great.  It seems that Pure lbt is a very rare thing here.  Like trying to find heavy water in one's tap water or h3 in the air.

Well I started up on Chapter 5 of A wish apon a Star Fanfic that I been working on whenever I get the right idea to type into it. This one could take a while compared to most of my other fanfics.

Actually, I may be starting one soon, and it will be from a first-person aka narrative perspective B).  It will be one of the LBT characters and their thoughts on the folks around them.  I believe it will be different, and I shall post it on here when it gets finished...eventually.  Dang writer's block :bang!
