This thread is for people to give away story ideas that just don't work for them but maybe someone else can use. Bonus points for people who take an existing, tired or exhausted story concept and give it a new twist. I'll go first. I had an idea about 12 years ago for a vampire novel in which vampires are destroyed if they drink the blood of a person with AIDS, so that people with AIDS tend to become vampire hunters and work in security firms that protect people from vampires. Now, your turn.
Here's mine....but its not that good. I had this strange idea when I was watching this....doctor who or something, But I wanted to create an story where an immortal man has lived through 2000 years of history. My periods are: The Rise of Rome Roman Empire Period Japan - 1570, Sengoku Jidai - the darkest age of civil war in Japan China - Romance of the Three Kingdoms eras, Han Empire, Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, many other periods. Imijin War - when the Japanese first tired to invade Korea but couldn't and failed. The Crusades Arabian Kingdom Periods Napoleonic Wars 17th century - global 18th century - global European Wars - Prussia, Frederick the Great 1905 Russo-Japanese War, battle of Tshumia WW1 Wars of Alexander's Succesors Rise of Macedon Macedon-Roman Wars Hannibal of Carthage vs Rome Roman Expansion into Germania Greek-Roman Wars I've even had him set as an Vampire, but I'm not so sure of this. Al-right that may seem an '' little freaky'' but I can assure I am no weirdo, history is just an passion of mine. I maybe could twist fantasy but perhaps not. I think this would be a good idea, what do you think?
LOL, I really like your vampire novel story. It will make a new innovative topic to create a horror novel. (y)
