Because I have neither the patience nor the time.
Fanfiction:
What about ya'll?
- Dystopian future written from the point of view of the evil dictator
- Deconstruction of the Fifty-Shades-Genre in which the girl being pursued by the rich hyper-sexual BDSM lover is asexual and world-weary
- 'Supernatural romance' where the girl ends up with the human, not the stalker-ish vampire/werewolf/demon (who becomes the antagonist because of their stalking)
- The epic-sized story of a woman's rise to political power in some Tolkein-esque land (without needing to rely heavily on a love interest)
- Or, alternatively, the epic-sized story of a woman tearing a kingdom down Monte-Cristo-style
- WWIII brought about by the outing of a secret magical society (considering writing this myself)
- Characters are all humanoid embodiments of planets, stars, black holes and other celestial objects
- Supernatural romance where the two supernatural beings of the mandatory love triangle are secretly lovers who are having one over on the self-absorbed, delusional human
- SFF parody about the evil minions of the villain that contains borderline soap-opera-level drama
- 40 or so clones who are all raised in different environments and then get tossed into a Battle Royale/Hunger Games fight to the death
- A story, whatever genre, in which amnesia is portrayed as being as horrifying as it really is (I want the protagonist to experience the true extent of the loneliness and panic of not knowing or having ANYONE, even themselves)
- Normal humans are being subjugated by supernaturals for a change, and the story is about a human's rise to power as they tear down the govt. built by the supernaturals and dance on its stupid magical ashes, forcing their way to divinity through sheer will and cunning plus some bloodlust
- Takes place hundreds of years in the future when humans have all died out and the robots who read about us in their history books are all that remain
- Greek mythology + a super high-tech future
Things that probably already exist but I need more of:
- Heroes who decide that hero-ing is too hard/unrewarding and become villains instead
- Dysfunctional families who don't know any way to deal with their problems other than murdering each other
- Post-modern Witzies
- Neglected or ignored children of large families (with lots of favoritism) making something of themselves and just generally being BAMFs
- World-weary but not quite cynical old men as protagonists
- Young, modern gods, born into a world of harsh lights and noisy cities
Fanfiction:
- Everyone is a time traveler but Harry and Voldemort (or Snape or Dumbles or any combination of the four), who have to work together to regain control over their own fates
- Dumbles decides to keep Grindelwald around but stripped of his magic, and Gellert wonders around Hogwarts like a grumpy, petulant child
- Or, alternatively, Dumbles killed Gellert but is haunted by his ghost
- Just put one sane person in Twilight PLEASE GOD
What about ya'll?
