Patron participation game: Suggest a story
Added 2023-09-06 20:22:36 +0000 UTCAllright, I've been regaining my energy for what I think will be a fun new project. So basically, the thought behind this is that I am quite satisfied with my current two stories being my main focus. I think that Harry Evans is developing nicely and I think that the pokemon fic is probably one of the better ones ever written.
What I want to do however is to keep ideas incoming, keep em fresh, so that this inspiration gives energy to my main projects and also that I have something easy to pick up on when I feel like I'm ready for a third.
In that regard I'd like to propose a little game.
I am going to suggest three story ideas. Your job as a patron is to suggest even more story ideas. Then, after a week, I hold a poll with some of the suggestions. And I write out the first chapter of the winner of the poll idea. Understand? Of course the suggestion can be anything. It can be an omake idea for Harry Evans, for How to train your Rattata, it can be a short story, the first chapter of an original novel, a poem. Anything.
So without further ado, I'll put forward three suggestions.
1: I like writing Self-inserts, I even think I'm good at it. I've already covered most scenarios in my current stories, but what I think I'm missing is one where the straight out motivation of our MC is saving the world from imminent destruction. Harry Evans is a hard-working coward (but not really), Jonathan Joestar is an ambitious and sometimes philosophical trickster.
What about. An Umino Iruka who wants to save the world, and knows that the best way forward is to become the best academy teacher and then later jounin sensei possible for the rookie 12. Those kids are proven to be an endless pit of influencable talent, what if someone nurtured them from the get to
I'd call it. "Great Teacher Iruka!" Yes, "GTO" was an inspiration for this idea.
2: This is an original novel idea, but I've always wanted to do something a bit like "Tower of God," where contenstants must climb floors in tower and face eachother in increasingly morbid and horrible tasks. All for an illusive promise that getting to the top will be worth it.
I'll call it "tower-climbing scenario," for now.
3: A good ol omake for one of my already existing works. If you guys like it, why not make more of it. Maybe a short story in which Harry Evans finds a book he's been looking for. An ancient tome of vast power. Only issue, it's written in middle English, whoopsies. Need to go to Cambridge to have that shit translated. Tough luck Harry. "It's in middle English!"
Post your suggestions in the comments.
If you wanna help me out and have a royalroad account you can also give my stories a review on here. Kinda struggling there at the moment.

Have an SI into the Shaper academy, and try to survive the rebellion. Joining the rebellion would be the 'morally correct' option, so have him be born into a long line of shapers, splitting his loyalties between moral rightness and family and friends. Tragedy and moral ambiguity ho!
