I have to write a narrative for school, and I am having a hard time deciding which idea to go with. Which one do you like the best? They might sound like books, but I get a lot of inspiration from books I have read. Feel free to call me out on it!

--A story about 3 kids who find out that they are the descendants of gods and goddesses. They have to find a certain stone to save the world from Hades demons.
--A short story about a group of teenagers that witness a crime, and have to hide from the criminals.
--A short story about a little girl who has a brother, and together they wreak havoc (start fires, hurt animals, etc.). Twist ending: it turns out that her brother died when she was younger, and she is seeing his ghost. Another twist ending: the girl and her brother are both dead and the last paragraph is from the people (alive) living in that house’s point of view.
--A girl who is a demon hunter. She fights the same demon over and over again but never succeeds. Twist ending: the demon is her father, brother, or son.
--Two (person 1 and 2) people who are monster hunters (possibly giant hunters). Person 1 has to leave person 2 at one of the monster’s nests (told to by their boss). Person 1 doesn’t think they can do it.
--2 best friends enter some sort of contest (undecided what kind of contest it will be). Friend 1 is offered a chance to win by cheating, but that means friend 2 will die (undecided what will happen to friend 2).
--A story about a girl whose friends think she is hiding something. What she is hiding is that her parents aren’t her parents, they kidnapped her (she will probably not be rescued).
--A girl moves into a new house. She finds a time capsule buried in the backyard. There are bones inside. She decides to find out who it is (she might find the killer?).
--Someone wakes up from living in an ice block for 200 years. It would tell the story of how he adapts to the world now.
--A story about COVID-19 in the future. Everyone wears hazmat suits? Lots of buildings not open anymore, and collapsing? Similar to what the world looks like in a zombie apocalypse.

--A girl wakes up with no memory. The world she lives in is strange. She's befriended by a boy her age and both both are assigned a quest to return a small crystal shard to a large cave filled with larger versions, to save their world as it crumbles apart. The girl decides in the end that it's the wrong thing to do, and smashes the crystal. The room starts to collapse, and she immediately regrets the decision. (idk what to do after or in between that)

--(Short story) A young Native American(?) girl (maybe 7) wakes up one night to see a swarm of floating balls of light trailing into the forest. out of curiosity, she follows them. Later on during her journey, she discovers that if she presses a ball of light onto an injured or dying living thing, it heals them. Along the way, she fails to save a small deer, and strays from the path for awhile. After finding the swarm again, she's led to a clearing, in which stands a glowing form of her dead mother. She's reminded of the lessons she's learned, given a hug, then wakes up back at home. (Idk, I just like the idea of drawing concept art for it)

--A girl and her lover are stargazing in a field, the boy, Jupiter, is bitten by a magical snake thing, and turns into the far-off planet, Jupiter. The girl searches the world for a place to watch him, and at the end of her long life, finds herself back in the same field. She finds the snake, and allows it to bite her, then joins her lover as the closest moon to Jupiter, Metid.

I like number 6. It sounds really intriguing!

Abby: I love all of your ideas!!! Very creative!! I think I like the first one the best though!!

Thank you!

~ (This one I am currently writing about.) A girl, living in a village where woman are lower then men, finds herself chosen to be a dragon rider. When she reaches the academy where the riders learn to ride, she finds herself the only girl to become a dragon rider in two centuries. Because of that, she has to fight not only the shadow demons, but also discrimination and people trying to bring her down.

~ (Short Story) A girl and boy at a large high school are always butting heads. The school is used to their many fights. But when the girl goes away for the summer to an art camp and returns with a boyfriend, who coincidentally goes to the high school, the boy finds himself jealous. With the boy trying to sabotage the girl’s relationship and the girl secretly harboring feelings for the boy the school is in for a whole lot of drama.

Ada: love those ideas!! Great imagination!!

Thanks!

I want to write a Peter Pan retelling set in space. I have a premise, just haven't started writing it yet.
Peter and his crew are racers and Wendy wants to become the pilot (since James Hook, the previous pilot, left to start his own crew). She gets the position and a prestigious racing competition is announced. Both Hook and Peter enter, but as the competition goes on, people start disappearing. Peter, Hook, Wendy, and the Lost Boys have to work together to figure out who or what is making the competitors disappear.
They are all in their teens, Peter's like 16, Wendy's 16 too. All around the same age.
Any suggestions on how to make the story better?

That synopsis sounds great! Make sure the space bit is really fleshed out before you start writing, I find plot holes are more often to happen if things are left vague.

Here's the brief synopsis for my WIP. Constructive criticism and ideas are welcome!

In a world full of psychic abilities, only the strongest prevail…
Ersa is the last living member of the Metry Clan, a clan that drove themselves to madness and disarray. She is blessed with the power to learn information about an object or person by touching it. Even the floors speak to her. She wants her life to be easy, but knows that such a fate is near impossible to reach.
Adrian is the crown prince of Ivory, and with the king’s health failing and insurgents knocking on the palace door, he needs a wife to be his queen. Thus the renown competition of minds opens for one lady from each clan to come and present themselves and their skills to him. Many girls pry for a chance at the prince; Ersa has been dreading it. But once Ersa gets to know Adrian, she learns there’s much more to him- and the kingdom- than even she knew.

That sounds like a really fun idea, and a great mix of popular books series! Not sure if I have any ideas to offer you yet, so let this just be a small encouragement!

Thank you! 😊

Wow thank you! 🙏

Definitely XD

The book I'm working on is about an elite legion of guards called Queensguard, whose jobs are to protect and fight for the monarch of their kingdom (queendom, I guess). A small group of them (well, like one specific friend group) begins uncovering a rising force of Others through the kingdom. Others are creatures, spirits, faeries, etc., that have been banned and considered legend for centuries.

FireLily: I would definitely read that book! Great idea!

Thanks!

Isabella: wow! I would totally read that! Sounds great!

Thank you so much!

I've been thinking of writing a fanfic. It's an PJO and Avengers crossover:

--It's a Team Iron Man fic. I'm gonna be using some of the commonly used idea like Percy Jackson's twin, CHB betraying Percy, Percy becoming a SHIELD agent. The Chaos Army, but there will be some timeline changes. I may or may not make the pairings Stephen Strange/Tony Stark, Original Female Character/Pietro Maximoff. I might also use the soulmates idea. I'm thinking of making the fic friendly towards Natasha and Clint but not Steve. A lot of ideas are there in my mind but I'm gonna start the story once exams are over.

@ Rey That sounds really cool!

I have a WandaVision, Agents of SHIELD crossover idea.
Fitz and Jemma are called in and are with Darcy in the truck. They help to figure out the Hex and I might add Daisy, (view spoiler)[Sousa, and Kora (hide spoiler)]. Or Jemma and Fitz are the astrophysicists (idk anymore), even though neither of them are in that field.

Thnx. I'm glad to hear that it actually sounds good.

WANDAVISION!!! AGENTS OF SHIELD!!! THE TWO SHOWS I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WATCH!!!

I've written the first chapter! Guys, please read and help me out with the next few!

Second Chapter uploaded!

Someone should write a YA fantasy book about a (strong) female lead character in a world where souls are “recycled” and people are reincarnated but can’t remember their past memories. She suddenly starts remembering things that have never happened and finds out that it is her past self. She finds something out and has to go on some sort of journey.

Idea inspired by the song 18 (Anarbor): a romance book about a girl and a "bad" boy, but the girl is only dating the boy to prove to her parents that she is an adult and can make her own decisions. The boy knows this and goes along with it (and is obviously a cinnamon roll on the inside). They also obviously fall in love.
