Anyone working on anything art/fiction related right now not related to M.I.?
You guys probably already know Zukaang week is happening in my other fandom, but I was also wondering more to do with things you were thinking of doing in original art/fiction.
I seem to be able to create worlds, even characters but sometimes am unable to come up with a good story for such a setting.
For instance, I have an idea for a sort of fantasy novel- as in one connected with ours, involving an invented afterlife. Sort of more humourous than anything else though rather than morbid as well as using some ideas from mythology.
I have already got a very short prologue for the set up and everything but that's about it.
Other things include that I'd really like to use the 'trope' 'friendly enemy' in a story some day, in a long novel or a novel series (in my delusions that is).
I just recently discovered it HAD a word/page to describe it aptly about what I wanted to do. Because while I typically love protaganists, a lot of time the relationship or the potential relationship they have with the antagonist is what grabs me. I typically (in canon anyway) prefer them to be potential FRIENDS rather than lovers, and let the fans take over in their minds if they want to take it further (not as big a fan of the canon 'Dating Catwoman' but sometimes they can pull it off, I just prefer the whole friendly enemy thing at the very least at first, I want Respect to be established well, not just lust which can sometimes come out from such things, but ah well. I mean I'll reference if not all out write shallow relationships in my own writing, because after all they do exist in real life, I'm just not all that interested in them personally speaking. I mean what is there to really explore in that?
Here's the page I found: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FriendlyEnemy
But these random ideas have not formed anything in terms of actual work. They're sort of whims and things I'd like to do in original fiction.
So what about you guys? What original fiction/art are you working on/just thinking about/doing right now?
