Offloading Ideas!

[Jedamethis]

I have a lot of vague ideas.
Only problem is I can't be arsed to do anything with them, and it seems such a waste...
I've tried turning them into stories, but I always get partway through and suddenly I become aware of all the other things I could be doing instead, and as I don't really need to write them, they never get anywhere.

So, anybody want them?

Spoiler: Vague idea #1

He was dead. I saw him die, saw the knife slide through his neck.
I found him still, unmoving in an alleyway. Got down to him, started to fly him up.
He started wriggling as we were passing through a cloud, and I dropped him.

I landed almost onto a roof. Cracked my shins on the edge, flipping me round to leave a nice bloody indent of my face into the brick. Landed with a splash, in a puddle
Everything faded into black.

Took a shaky, shuddering breath. A while later, took another.

Spoiler: Vague Idea #1.5

"He was dead."
"Yes."
"You saw him die."
"Yes."
"You are absolutely sure he was dead."
"Yes, I checked for a pulse, brain activity, everything."
"Then how the hell did he wake up?!"
"I-I don't know!"
"Well what are you still doing here? Go! Find out how the hell he is still alive, and then kill him!"

Spoiler: Vague idea #2

Every day, another death.
Every day, another confused, sorrowful spirit I have to support.
Every day, another bereaved family with one less member.
Every. Fucking. Day. Another person I could have saved.

Spoiler: Vague Idea #3

There's the box. On my table. I get a drink out of the fridge, and look at the box while sipping my drink. I finish my drink, and glare at the box.
The box doesn't glare back. It just sits there.
I get another drink. Drink half of it. The box does nothing.
I put the drink in front of the box.
The box does nothing.
I put the drink on top of the box.
The box does nothing.

I go to work. Utterly boring day, nothing happens.

I get home again. The drink I put on the box is empty.
I replace the empty glass with pizza, and go to bed.
I don't dare sleep.

Spoiler: Vague Idea #3.5

I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamt of a box. A completely ordinairy box, apart from the fact that it was pure white, the whitest white I've ever seen.
It sat, on my table.
The day passed, and everybody ignored it, except my cat. The cat glared at it, and I could almost feel the intense contempt, could almost see it, in that white hot glare from my cat.

I woke up a short while later, and went downstairs, half expecting the box to be on my table.
I was right, kind of. Strewn across my table were shards of purest white, with deep claw marks gouged into them. My cat sat next to them, and pawed a piece meaningfully.

I'm sure I have more somewhere, but I've forgotten them for now.

I might borrow 1.5, more or less. I have a similar part in a story, but I haven't planned the actual dialogue out. Oh! 2 looks good. Might nab that. And 3 was pretty interesting, I must say, though I doubt I'll steal borrow it. I suppose I should ask whether I can use them, even though that's the point of the thread. Please?

Bit of a side note: It's weird seeing your new avatar, kinda weirded me out since I'm used to the old one.

Ah, I know the feeling very well.

I've had ideas for various things:

1: A story that narrates itself, breaking the fourth wall regularly and creating a Pratchettesque adventure.

2: A proper vampire novel, featuring a female protagonist and a surprising twist ending.

3: So many songs.

This usually comes about because I write stuff when I'm inspired, then get bored - and usually I need to be in a bad mood, or at least have an issue, to feel inspired.

But of course you can! Though it'd be great if I could see the finished piece.

You may have seen me with Anubis before, he's a masterpiece of [user]Fanboy[/user]'s which I used for quite a while and decided to bring back for Halloween. Never fear though, as The Happy Fox will return cuter than ever once the month is out!

Ah, I know the feeling very well.

You want to lend out some ideas here too?

I am intrigued by #4, I think I may snatch it from you if you don't mind.\

Edit: I guess it was 3, the fourth idea down I meant.

 

[theblackmonk90]

I curious idea... At least you are being proactive in your laziness!

 

[spartan1077]

I know what you mean. It'll take me years to finally finish writing something from the ideas I've gained, and usually I don't complete it. But if I ever do....

All very good ideas, though sadly not in my field of writing. I'm more of a fantasy guy, but these are very good. If were I to ever partake of this form of writing, I would most definitely ask you if I could take one or two of these.

Oddly, I thought I was too. I don't read much else, so these stray thoughts are rather surprising.

Worst. Ideas. Ever.

Why turn a bunch of emo garbage into an actual piece of literature?

Just kidding. I liked number 1 alot. Though I'm as lazy as you and won;t do anything with it.
