If you’ve been following my blog for a little while now, you will already have seen the episodic content for Unbiased Law. If you haven’t seen it, be sure to check it out (Start Here) as it is seven episodes in and doing quite well for me! I have been enjoying writing that story more and more every day as every thousand words has a cliffhanger. Also the way I write episodic content is to have an idea or direction I want the story to head in, but as I reread the last post I find myself bringing it in another direction. It might be the same path, but instead it has taken a few detours.
So my next proposal will be to those of you out there who have been reading. I already have a robot detective drama set in the future written down, so I’m going to toss out this next idea to you. Not only that, but I want to encourage more interaction with my blog, so the next story will be a choose your own adventure. As I will offer up some solutions to the problems on every page, you out there beyond the screen will get to vote on where the story should go next. Depending on how the voting goes I will write the next page accordingly and you should be able to see the results of your voting. I will also post the final tallies at the beginning of each page.
I have tossed out ten ideas I would love to write about. Most of the ideas are in fantasy settings but hey, you get to choose the story and I get to choose where and when I’m writing it! I’ll give you a tiny bit about each one and then you get to vote in the poll below! Good luck to your favourite ideas!
#1) The most holy of warriors, a paladin, is the leader of one king’s army. As he rises to fame and popularity both among the community and his peers, the king begins to feel threatened by his power. Finally reaching his breaking point, the king accuses the paladin of treason and the murder of his youngest son. Framed for both, the paladin is dragged to the street in front of his home for his punishment. As his family was listed by the king as co-conspirators, they are boarded up in their own home and it is torched by the order of the king. In a desperate attempt to save his family, the Paladin bursts into his home to find his family has already succumbed to the flames. The king strikes him down in the paladin’s moment of weakness, and the paladin wakes up in hell. He will now make a deal with the devil and stop at nothing to tear down the kingdom he once served.
#2) A billionaire playboy stumbles upon an ancient artefact in one of his travels and decides that he will invest in his own travels instead of offshore accounts and oil companies. As he travels the world he begins to discover the truth about the ancient world and risks life and limb to find the path to the hidden ruins of the Library of Alexandria.
#3) A young woman trying to get ahead in life finds herself making the wrong decision at all the perfect moments. After being fired, dumped and her home being repossessed, the young lady decides enough is enough and stands ready on the edge of a bridge to make her final leap. Before she jumps however, a man in a car offers her a second lease on life and a leap of faith instead of a leap of death. As the young woman learns the ropes of becoming an assassin, she realizes it’s not as easy as the movies make it out to be.
#4) As a man is driving down a deserted road, he swerves to avoid a man standing in the middle of the street. Crossing into oncoming traffic, the man collides head on with another car and finds himself with an extremely large concussion. As he begins to lose focus, he finds himself struggling to focus on a woman in a green dress. Once she is in focus however, he falls to the ground in front of her and out of his car. As he comes to, he realizes he is under arrest for time travelling without proper training and is about to undergo a lobotomy to correct his issue. As he struggles to figure out what is happening to him, he finds himself able to see the fourth dimension, time, and with that sees every possible outcome of his actions and the actions of those before him. Running through time trying to avoid his pursuers, he finds himself running out of time as well.
#5) As a brilliant scientist, a man is just about to his his breakthrough when suddenly he is torn from the world he knows and tested as being mentally unstable. He is thrust into a mental institution where he must figure out who and why he has been placed here, and figure out a way to escape. As a murderer manages to escape his cell and stalk the shadows, can the scientist figure out who is the murderer before it’s too late? Or will he fall victim to the supposed madness that has had him locked away?
#6) For any child growing up can be tough, but for some kids it can be much harder. As a timid child undergoes many life changing events, will he manage to come out ahead or will he end up another story on the front page and the news?
#7) As two kingdoms head to war, the warlords of both kingdoms meet each other in battle. Finding themselves quite equally matched, and stunning all around them with their display of skill. The battle for the day is called off and both sides retreat and regroup. As the female warlord goes on a long walk to review her perfect foe from the day’s battle, she stumbles upon him swimming in a lake. As the two discuss their battle they begin to fall head over heels for each other, but the battle rages on again for another day. As they take to the field of battle again, will they fight to the death or will the war take it’s toll on one or the other?
#8) One city remains of a once great population of magicians. Magic flows in their blood, but they cannot physically have more than one child. As tensions grow between the human kingdoms and the last great kingdom of magic, one magician will make a fatal error starting chaos and potentially bringing the world of men to force the extinction of magic.
#9) Unlike the Avengers, the X-Men or even the Justice League; The United Nations League of Heroes is a group of extraordinary men and women devoted to keeping world peace. Despite the fact they do have some super powers you may read about in comic books, they are still only human. As they fight to keep the peace as a group, they never consider death as an option until one of the group dies tragically at the hands of a villain. As the heroes try and cope with their loss, they are found bickering among themselves and some even break away from the group; some into vigilantism. While heroes are being requested to bring in other heroes, who is watching the villains?
#10) Speaking of villains, who doesn’t love a good bad guy? As a villain begins his career as a self proclaimed “Modern Day Robin Hood”, he finds himself lured into the luscious life of a super villain as his crimes escalate and his mind twists dramatically. Fumbling with sanity and going mad with power, our villain does everything right and manages to have the world right in the palm of his hand. All he needs to do is reach out and crush it! Who will stop him?
