I know how that is. Again, I don't want to nag, but I hate waiting. I think it's an ADD thing.

Anyway, I went through an old notebook of mine and came across an old idea I had that I think you might be interested in, if you'd like to hear it.

Rarely. And I try to avoid zero wherever possible because of his political stance, and the only time I come across him is in there. Plus, with Strum being made a mod recently, all the new names are confusing me. I'm seeing mods I never saw before a lot.

I feel weird that you've seen me on facebook. It's kind of amusing. :lol:

Too bad you didn't friend me, loser!!!

Fair's fair.

Anyway, the working title for this one is The Green Keeper. The plot line revolves around a modern-day wizard who is charged as the The Green Keeper of a local park, meaning he is supposed to the secret guardian and caretaker. What makes that particular park so special is the fact that a particularly strong leyline passes through it.

The conflict comes in that a group of developers and contractors want to build commercial property over a part of the park which the leyline passes directly through. Construction over the leyline won't damage it, but since magic is shaped by belief, the heavy traffic of humanity through the area could result in magical repercussions that could take a turn for the worst.

The reason I bring this particular story up is because I wanted a folk-y Celtic sort of soundtrack for it. Who better to ask than you, Lucas?

nice ninja edit

Sounds like a lot of fun. :) And it's a cool blend of the modern with the magical, which is something I've always liked to see explored better. I bet you're a big fan of "The Storyteller" by Jim Henson, right? Your penchant for whimsy and fable seems to indicate to me that you'd be the kind of person that would like that show.

Here are my story ideas, one that I am currently writing, and another which has a ton of potential but I have no idea how to organize it.

The first is an Alistair MacClean-style World War II caper. In AM novels, Allied commandos would always dress as Nazis and blow up big guns behind the lines or some such. They were always a lot of fun. In this story, I'm combining as many threads as possible from real history, to tell a fictional story about how the two people in charge of the U.S. atomic bomb project are captured by the Nazis in late 1944. The story begins with the British/Norwegian sabotage of the Norsk Hydro factory, responsible for constructing the heavy water the Germans were using to try and build an atomic weapon. A principal German, an SS/SD policeman named Keppler, is introduced here. His failure to protect the factory results in an unexpected promotion from Walter Schellenberg, the man in charge of the RSHA, the SS bodyguard for Hitler and the body in charge of the Gestapo. He wants to investigate the scientists and Keppler's superior, General Fischer, because he says he suspects disloyalty. But the real reason is because Schellenberg, an ambitious man, wants to control the bomb project himself.

Meanwhile, in Mexico, a police officer is murdered in a cafe. This occurs just after he has visited a Nazi spy in the jail where he is being kept, caught smuggling American money across the border. The Mexican secret policeman investigating the crime suspects the two are interrelated. Who were the funds for? He travels to Argentina on the lookout for the German spy ring responsible for the police officer's death, but what he doesn't realize is that the spy in question has already moved across the border to the United States, on a mission from the spy ring in Argentina, which itself comes from the SS in Norway. The message, hidden in the advertisements of a Mexican-edition German paper is: "Water supplies good. The delay of work merely causes delayed gratification. Find prize-winners for the upcoming race: make sure they know how to hit the same place twice." His mission is to obtain the whereabouts of the German and Danish refugee scientists (Nobel Prize winners all, champions of physics) that escaped the Gestapo, most notably Niels Bohr. The Germans want to know why they are in America.

Gradually, the intricacies of the various plottings take shape. The reason this story is so rich is because I get to explore so many covert facets of the war. The FBI picks up transmissions from the German spy who is searching for scientists and tries to track him down. The Abwehr, German military intelligence, tries to figure out what the SS are up to: they inexplicably purchase Navy ships and send commandos to Mexico. The anti-Nazi head of the Abwehr, Canaris, knows his days are numbered and wants to score one final coup against the SS, but he doesn't have enough information. Finally, the Germans succeed in catching Oppenheimer and Groves on a boat journey from Florida to Washington, and capturing them. What the United States is then forced to do is mount a covert operation to retrieve them--WITHOUT letting any of their Allies know. The bomb project is still a secret, and the U.S. is terrified of a loss of atomic monopoly and the reaction of their allies, especially Russia, to their project. A further concern is the known Communist sympathies of Oppenheimer in particular--what should happen if they are transported to Austria and the Russians capture them when they arrive? I'm able to explore modern-day political issues for America.

On the character level, I get to have a lot of fun with characters discussing the ethics of using the bomb and the soldiers who get sent on the caper to Peenemunde (the rocket plant where Werner von Braun built the V-2) to retrieve the scientists before the Nazis glean all the secrets from them. It's going to be a sprawling, fun tale.

The other idea is essentially a much more eerie story, in which an American patrol gets lost in the gloomy, terrifyingly eeire Ardennes forest, stumbles across a German encampment and make battle, in which all but one American is killed. That American is wounded and taken prisoner by the only remaining German: a 16-year-old SS conscript that's scared to death of both his side and the Allies, who has nothing but Nazi dogma to rely on, and who doesn't speak a word of English. The story revolves around the time they spend together alone in the cabin, with the less experienced German holding the gun on the American, and how their communication barrier slowly begins to break down and the humanity in the both of them is revealed once again. I plan to have all the German's dialogue in German so it's enigmatic for English readers, just as it is for the main character. I just don't know how to begin and end it, or what they do with one another. :-/

I'm the only Lucas at my university, period, as far as I know.

[QUOTE]Quoth Lucas:Story Ideas [/QUOTE] Sounds cool. I'd definately read the second one.


I've got several story ideas of my own, but I don't think anyone wants to hear them, do they?

Go ahead. :thumb:

Actually, I've never seen The Storyteller.

Anyway, the first story sounds like a nostalgic caper that harkens to the days when pulp fiction began to give way to the Atomic Age.

The second sounds like a very artistic piece, and one that would have to be handled with a very light touch. I can understand how you'd be uncertain how to execute the beginning and ending.

If you ever get to writing the manuscripts, I'd love to see either one.

Thanks. :)

Well, I'm really sleepy. Bedtime for me!! I appreciate the feedback.

I have an idea for a movie, which would only be cool if it was done with the proper images/shooting/pictures. It's about a young man (probably in high school), who gradually goes insane because of his seemingly boring and pointless life that is filled with nothing but repetition, etc. The thing is that in response to this, his brain begins to take over his life, and he begins to hallucinate and things start to transform and change (normal objects start melting away, for example). His brain completely destorys other things, like people surrounding him. Throughout the movie there are symbols that continuelly become more abstract (for example, a clock at the beginning is normal-looking, where as at the end it towers over his bed and looks completely evil and horrifying). Eventually his mind destroys everything and consumes his life entirely.

It definitely has some plot holes, and trust me the images I have for it are a lot cooler than it sounds. I have a lot of ideas that I can't really type out, like the sounds and overall feeling I have for the scenes and the whole complete theme of isolation and insanity (yes I became aware of the similarities to Dark Side and The Wall after thinking of the concept).

I like to keep my projects on the downlow, mainly because they suck, but here goes.

The 2nd Book: The man character is a 36 year old man named Kenny Plath, whose wife was killed by a drunk driver. He lives with his fourteen year old daughter, Jessica. He works at a futuristic tehnology monopoly named Globeman Co. The company's pride and joy is a mysterious young man named Napoleon, who is the only person at the company capable of building high-quality robots. Another man applies for the company, who somehow knows how to do everything Napoleon could do but for lower pay. Napoleon is layed off in favor of this new worker. Kenny and an attractive 44 year old woman named Joyce soon find that murders have been taking place at Globeman. A friend of Napoleon's eventually confesses that Napoleon created a machine to seek revenge on the employers of the company, then the friend plummets to his death out a window. Several employees sucesfully attempt to bring the robot down. :rolleyes: Possible sex scene between Kenny and JOyce.

Intriguing ideas guys.

A couple others I had bouncing around my head:

[b]Wolfheart:[/b] Suffice to say that it's a movie about werewolves. I haven't hammered out the plot yet.

[b]Genetech:[/b] Based on a game setting from Wizards of the Coast, this story takes place in the near future. Genetic engineering has progressed by leaps and bounds in the shadows, but it all come to the forefront when several of the "experiments" escaped. Human/animal hybrids known as Moreaus, created and trained for military and para-military operations. A handful decided they wanted something more and escaped. The pockets of renegade Moreaus now run the gamut from refugees to ecoterrorists. The story focuses particularly on a group of freedom fighter Moreaus: Felix, Moony, Archimedes, Lee, Onyx, and Oberon.

[b]The Concrete Knights:[/b] (working title only) Similar to The Green Keeper in the dichotomy between magic and the modern world, the story revolves around a group of humans capable of seeing the presence of magic and monsters in our world, a phenomenon that most people's minds trick them into ignoring. These modern-day knights keep the peace between humans and magic, and often have to bash heads with the creatures of the night.

I'm not to keen on science fiction, so that's just me. Like, the idea Cain had, that sounds interesting to me.

I only like sci-fi and fansy if it's done properly. For example...

Good sci-fi = Ender's Game

Bad sci-fi = Star Trek Voyager

Techno-babble is not sci-fi, it's just retarded. Sci-fi is supposed to be about the people.
