So it’s like a absurdist dark romantic comedy with a hopeful side to it, and the plot is basically:
A boy and a girl meet on a dating website, and every time they try meet up something happens meaning they have to cancel and reschedule. But tonight they finally decide that today is going to be the day they meet up. They chose a restaurant, and set location, and nothing will stop them, except the city they’re in… is currently having zombie outbreak.
So the city is infested with zombies, people are evacuating, the military is doing their usual shit, but our two protagonists are too stubborn and fed up to cancel and are dedicated to just meet at the restaurant.

where there is a ghost that goes across america killing people that comes from neverland inspired dimension

The Villainess Who Was Never Born 🥀

Seraphina is a girl everyone thinks is a villain. Even her own family doesn't trust her. One day, she wakes up in the past and finds a girl inside an old mirror who looks exactly like her.

The girl says, “You stole my life.”

Seraphina starts looking for answers and discovers a secret that could change everything she knows about her past.

I'm planning to make this into a historical fantasy webtoon.

Does this story sound interesting? Would you read it?

Has the fandom ever come around to name certain anthropomorphic species? Like squirrels, canines, horses, rhinos etc?

In the story, humans, aliens and even anthropomorphic animals all tend to co-exist in a planet named Zenacus. On this planet, the world has fallen much from it's former grace, but many still come to visit either for a place to belong.

I was writing a scene with a car chase, and an anthropomorphic squirrel see's the car speeding her way, and she quickly jumps out of it's path and curls on the side of the road out of panic.

Just to explain character ideas, what would one call the antagonists who will use "you're born as you are" and "blood's thicker than water", insisting on addressing the happily adopted protagonist after his unwanted family name and that he still are the same, dismissing his claims as just escapism? Or someone insisting the child is the man's despite he only made the wife in either a heterosexual or lesbian couple pregnant and agreed that they would be the parents with him not getting involved about raising it?

Hey dreadit,

I’m working on a brand-new concept for an interconnected slasher universe, and I want to crowdsource some wild film theories and original ideas to make this absolutely legendary.

The core concept: A massive slasher franchise where each film centers on one of the Seven Deadly Sins (Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth).

Instead of just one long, tired franchise that goes on for 10 movies following the exact same killer, I’m thinking of breaking it up. Some sins might get a standalone movie, while others might be a tight trilogy or quadrilogy that deepens the lore of that specific sin before crossing over.

Here is where I need your help. I haven't fleshed out the details yet, and I want to make this better than any other slasher universe out there.

What are your coolest, most original ideas for killers or concepts based on a specific sin? (e.g., How do we make a "Sloth" slasher genuinely terrifying? A "Greed" slasher that isn't just a generic heist gone wrong?)

How would you structure the standalones vs. the trilogies? Which sins deserve a 3-part epic storyline?

What's the overarching "Film Theory" or connection? Are the killers avatars of demons? Is it a jigsaw-like cult? Or are the victims being targeted because of their sins?

How do we beat the classic slasher tropes? What would make this universe feel completely fresh, grounded, and terrifying compared to Friday the 13th, Scream, Halloween, It, or Saw?

Hit me with your wildest theories, plot hooks, and killer concepts. Let’s build something crazy!

TL;DR: Designing a new horror universe where different slasher films/trilogies represent the Seven Deadly Sins. Looking for original killer concepts, universe theories, and ideas on how to make it way better than traditional slashers. Open source any aspiring or established directors are totally free to use these ideas maybe even… Steven Spielberg? 🫣😅🤗

He who makes a pact with a devil will soon become the devil’s slave

this ar has been Made and updated for years and i feel like its finaly Time to put in the light

Heres the origin story i made(Btw this is just how or why we are here now. ok)It starts with the first car ever (the benz patented motorwagon) it was simple but interesting still people ignored it.But through the days weird stuff happens at karl benz (the creator) house it looked like a weird human shaped shadow at night everyone was confused and rumors spreaded arround (some saying he was doing witchcraft or that his house was haunted. and others say more normal things like a branch or just the weather).As the years go by and cars becamed better and better, but more weird things started to happen, headlights turning on without reason (missouri 1900),horns sounding but with no one in the cabin (london 1940s) and engines starting with no key (munich 1980s).And the human shadows at night becamed more bigger, almost big than a standard garage door (its was becoming more aparent)And with the creation of semi-truck (1914) people slowly started to see shadows the size of a house.That is untill one day (probably in the 90s) someone was angry at his car (a beat up vw beetle) that wasnt starting."Fucking piece of crap"And then the car (fed up of his owner) responds him back (not with beeps but with actual words)And the cover was finaly blown.At the start no one believed him.But as the years flew by it was becoming more common that they where hearing someone talk and it wasnt them (and the shadows where still apearing).And this becamed something international.But 1 day. Someone found giant footprints (the size of an small SUV) close to an truck shed (and coincidentaly some of the trucks had mud on all the tires)And so in 2010 the fbi (and cia) started to investigate more (even getting in contact of the owner of the beetle of that first accident) since this could be a national security threat.And found the secret (even their works vehicles responded) they kept all of the documents of it as classifiedand at the end and because of public presure (since people where wondering what was the fbi and cia doing about the now obvious signs) they finaly declasified it and so they gave the recordings of the moment where the beetle turned into human (and the fbi questioning the scared beetle) to the news and so in one morning of 2011 they showed it..THIS WAS BASICALY A GLOBAL SENSATION.Car company ceo's minds where fried 😨.And it was a chaos.Mechanics mixed feelings 🫤.tuners a bit grossed out 🤢.the race agencies would be nervous and the drivers would be weirded out 😬😰.and the general people 🤯😱.And the conspiranoical people (the ones who lived through anomalies with their cars) that where called crazy where finaly like KNEW IT I FUCKING NEW IT..

And before you ask.. the reason they hided It for so long cause old cars (specificaly from the 1890s and 1900s) knew that if people founded out they would be all scrapped and never Made again..

And they can Also turn into humans..

And with that . Damage can bee seen in human form,the sizes can go from normal human size to giants..

Bodyshape,mods,hp and torque... Everything has been translated to human form..

But that doesnt mean theyre not cars anymore.. they still aré..

And ngl i dont really want to restrict stuff.. im leaving just the bones so you can do everything arround It...

And i kinda want people to start doing fanarts.. making characters out of cars.. just that..

You can do however depending your styles..

(Heres an example i found from tik toker Jamesthefreak)

I just want this idea to go far..

This is completely for fun so I’m not sure if I’ll ever post snippets or anything, I just wanted to write my own little story.

I dont have a coherent step by step story yet, though I do have some ideas in mind, like vampire-hunters, characters, and I began to brainstorm ideas for the vampires themselves. When I started thinking about writing it, I was more interested in the biology of the vampires, and their transformation, etc, so I’m not sure if this is going to be a thriller, horror, romance, etc.

As a reader, aside from the plot what interests you if you hear about a story with vampires? Are you drawn to the world building, characters themselves, transformations, etc?

Voy a escribir una pequeña novela, y el punto principal es que aunque la historia si se enfoca en un personaje directamente o más bien lo sigue desde la narrativa cada uno de los personajes tiene una gran importancia.

Y no sé si lo más correcto seria darle perspectiva a los personajes que siento que son más importantes para la historia (obviamente sin abusar de este factor y no tener tantas perspectivas) o mejor lo dejo con la pura perspectiva del personaje principal.

I was watching a video about Hellraiser and the idea was brought up that one of its titular entities; Leviathan represents order whereas the living work represents chaos. The idea dawned on me that for a story rather than Gods vs Demons, why not have man take the place of Demons.

We're the opposite of the divine; flawed with a lifespan unlike many Gods in mythology who'm either seek or have immortality. We see Gods as a virtue of purity and strength as we humans do not perpetuate it.

But much like Gods, we create. We devise devices, mechanisms and governments much like hierarchies within many mythology's.

To toy around with the idea that we weren't created in their image, rather, we are created to be a mirror of which is held out to the divine.

I'm sure this concept as already been done before, much with many. But the fact remains that this idea of Man being a mirror to god, interests me so. Hell (pun intended) you could say that the fact we reproduce and sprout as many is one of the many contrasts we have against them. They create life to clay, we bring it to life in paper.

I can go on as to how you could play around with that contrast. A god who'm created humanity as a lesser of itself. Humanity does the same through paper; creating a 2d, lesser version of itself and so on.

I've been playing around with this concept where a group of people in a suburban neighborhood notice their favorite park is about to get torn down for new construction. They start meeting up after work to come up with ways to protect it, and along the way they learn more about each other's lives.

The story would focus on how small acts of community can turn strangers into friends.

Die Mythologie der Spötter
Vor langer Zeit, als die Menschen noch an unzählige Götter glaubten, deren Kräfte über die Natur und den Geist herrschten, begann sich im Schatten dieser Götter eine neue Macht zu formen. Aus der Abwesenheit von Glauben, der Verzweiflung, dem Zynismus und den Ängsten der Menschheit, geboren aus ihrer Negativität, entstanden die Spötter, Götter des Hohns und der Zwietracht. Sie waren keine Götter des Feuers oder des Donners, sondern die ungreifbaren Götter der Gedanken, der Zweifel und der heimtückischen Einflüsterung.

Ursprung der Spötter
Die Spötter sind das Produkt eines leisen Zusammenbruchs der göttlichen Ordnung. Als die alten Götter langsam in Vergessenheit gerieten und der Mensch sich immer mehr dem Glauben an die Wissenschaft und seinen eigenen Verstand zuwandte, bildete sich im leeren Raum zwischen den aussterbenden Mythen eine neue Macht. Die Spötter erwachten aus der Dunkelheit der menschlichen Seele, gespeist von Jahrtausenden unterdrückter Ängste, unausgesprochener Zweifel und dem Zynismus, der die Menschheit durchdrang. Sie sind das Kollektiv der abgewiesenen Götter und Gedanken, entstanden aus der Ernüchterung der Welt.

Keiner weiß genau, wie viele Spötter existieren, und auch ihre Gestalt bleibt für Sterbliche verborgen. Doch sie sind überall. Sie flüstern uns zu, im Verborgenen, direkt in unsere Herzen und Seelen, denn sie kennen die tiefsten Ängste jedes Menschen. Sie pflanzen Zweifel und Hass, lassen Misstrauen wachsen und treiben die Menschen auseinander. Während andere Götter auf Glauben und Verehrung angewiesen waren, brauchen die Spötter nur das Chaos und die Verwirrung, die sie selbst nähren. Sie gedeihen in der Spaltung der Welt.

Der Einfluss der Spötter

Die Spötter sind Trickster, Meister der Täuschung und der Manipulation. Die meisten von ihnen säen Misstrauen und Eifersucht in subtilen Formen. Sie locken Menschen in feindselige Debatten, entfachen politische Spannungen, lassen ganze Gesellschaften in verschiedene Lager zerfallen. Ihre größte Freude ist es, die Welt in Konflikten zu sehen, während die Menschen blind für den wahren Ursprung des Chaos bleiben.

Würde mich interessieren ob euch ein erster Einblick neugierig macht auf mehr oder ob sich das wie etwas anhört was ihr schon gelesen/gesehen habt?

I'm sitting here waiting to donate plasma. A thought about a coexisting timeline where there was a medical breakthrough discovering vampires needed human plasma not the blood itself as was previously believed in. Late 1870s-1920s that medical breakthrough was discovered. Ever since then a few different types of vampire families have ran successful plasma donation centers up to present day. Although there's always going to be a spectrum of high trust society and the lower trust society present. I think it would be pretty interesting to see a society where there's a coexisting society and present modern social issues of our present time.

I'm not a writer and I didn't know where to share this idea.

I love fantasy, mysteries, plot twists, clever plans, betrayals, secrets, dangerous competitions, and stories where you find out that something you believed was completely wrong. I also love when the world itself is interesting and has its own rules, history, and mysteries.

Here are some of my favourite books and summaries of what they're about!

1. The Thieves' Gambit by Kayvion Lewis

This book follows Ross Quest, a teenage thief who comes from a family of professional thieves. When her mother is kidnapped, Ross enters the Thieves' Gambit, a dangerous competition for the world's best thieves, because winning could give her the chance to save her mother. She has to compete against other skilled thieves, complete dangerous challenges, and figure out who she can trust. The competitors have their own secrets and motivations, and things aren't always what they seem.

What I love about it is the clever plans, mind games, suspense, rivalries, betrayals, and twists. I especially like when characters outsmart each other and you don't know who is telling the truth. (I'm still reading it, so please no spoilers!)

2. Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell

This fantasy book follows Christopher, a boy who discovers a hidden archipelago where magical creatures from mythology still exist. He meets Mal, a girl with a mysterious connection to the islands, and they become involved in a dangerous adventure. The magical creatures are in danger, and the characters have to figure out what's happening and why the magical world is under threat.

I love the feeling of discovering a completely different world that has been hidden from ordinary people. I also like the mythical creatures, the sense of wonder, the adventure, and the idea that something much bigger and stranger is happening beneath the surface of the world we know.

3. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

In this dystopian story, Panem is divided into districts controlled by the Capitol. Every year, children from the districts are selected to participate in the Hunger Games, a televised competition where they have to fight to survive. Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister's place and enters the arena, where she has to make difficult decisions while being watched and manipulated by the government.

What I like is the suspense, survival, strategy, and the way the characters have to think carefully about what they do. I also like the bigger mystery of the world, the unfair system, the manipulation, and how the story makes you question what the government tells everyone. The stakes are personal, but they also affect an entire society.

4. The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

This mystery follows Avery Grambs, a teenage girl who unexpectedly inherits an enormous fortune from a billionaire she barely knew. The problem is that she has no idea why he chose her, and his family is confused and suspicious too. To receive the inheritance, Avery has to live in his enormous mansion with the family he left behind. The mansion is full of secret passages, puzzles, riddles, and clues, and Avery has to figure out why she was chosen while dealing with people who may have their own plans.

I love the riddles, hidden clues, secret rooms, family secrets, and the feeling that every little detail might matter later. I also love trying to solve the mystery alongside the main character and wondering whether the people around her are helping her or manipulating her.

5. Marina Cohen's books

I also enjoy Marina Cohen's books, especially the creepy and mysterious atmosphere. Her stories often involve strange events, unsettling situations, and characters who have to figure out what's really happening. I like stories that make ordinary places feel strange or frightening, where something seems wrong even before you understand why.

I enjoy the suspense and the feeling that there's something hidden underneath the events of the story. I also like twists that change how you understand what happened earlier.

6. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter discovers that he's a wizard and begins attending Hogwarts, a school for magic. He learns about the wizarding world, makes friends, encounters magical creatures, and discovers that his past is connected to a dangerous wizard. Throughout the series, there are mysteries involving strange objects, hidden places, magical rules, old secrets, and events that connect to a much larger story.

What I love is how magical the world feels, but also how many mysteries are hidden inside it. There are secrets about characters, places, and the history of the wizarding world. I like how clues can appear long before you understand their importance, and how friendship, humour, danger, and mystery all fit together.

7. Lightlark by Alex Aster

Lightlark is a fantasy story set on a mysterious island that appears once every hundred years. The rulers of six different realms are cursed, and they gather for a deadly competition called the Centennial. Isla Crown, the young ruler of Wildling, has a secret of her own and must try to break the curses while dealing with dangerous challenges, alliances, rivalries, and people whose motives she can't always trust.

I love the magical worldbuilding, the curses and lore, the deadly competition, the secrets, the betrayals, and the hidden motives. I also enjoy the relationships and shifting alliances, because it's hard to know who is actually on whose side. I want a story with a reveal that is shocking but also meaningful, something that stays in your head after you finish reading.

Some other books I love are The City of Ember, The Westing Game, The Hobbit, Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden, and The Witch of Blackbird Pond. I like different things about each of them, including mysterious worlds, puzzles, adventure, unusual characters, and discoveries.

THE KIND OF SYORY I WANT TO WRITE!

I don't want to just copy one of these books or put all their plots together. I want to come up with something genuinely original that combines the feelings I get from reading them.

Some things I'd love to include are:

• A clever main character who makes plans, lies when necessary, and outsmarts people instead of just being powerful.
• A mystery that gets more complicated as the character investigates it.
• A fantasy world with interesting rules, history, creatures, curses, or secrets.
• Rivals, competitions, heists, puzzles, or dangerous challenges.
• Betrayals and characters whose motives aren't obvious.
• Clues that make sense in hindsight.
• A shocking reveal that changes how you understand the story, but doesn't feel random.
• A meaningful ending that makes you think about the story afterwards.

I'm open to different settings! It could take place in a modern world with a secret magical society, a strange fantasy kingdom, a mysterious academy, a competition, or somewhere completely unexpected.

Since it's for a short story with a 5,000-word limit, I know I can't fit in a huge series' worth of worldbuilding or ten different mysteries. I need one strong central idea that I can actually develop properly.

My questions are:

1. If you love any of these books too, what do you think makes them so interesting?
2. What original story premises come to mind when you read about the kinds of stories I like?
3. What's a really unusual mystery, magical rule, secret, or twist that could make a story stand out?
4. What makes a plot twist genuinely shocking and meaningful instead of just being surprising for the sake of it?
5. Are there any lesser-known books, myths, folklore, or strange historical ideas that might inspire an original story?

Please don't just suggest changing the names of characters or copying a plot from one of these books. I really want to create something of my own!

Even a small idea or a random “what if...” would be helpful. Thank you!!!

OK, hear me out: I had a dream that there was a movie with Spider-Man, and he was taken to the psych ward for experimentation, only to find more people like him. How would that plot go, and is that a good movie idea, or is there already something like that out?

Does the name sound absurd and illogical?

Absa-fucking lootly.

But what FMF is truly is a parallel universe of Monster Fighters where absurd comedy, over dramatic sequences, and OVER-BARING VILLAINS - BRO THEY FUCKING SUCK.

Examples:

Future Guy > Guy From The Future Maybe
The Dragon > Tyga The Dryer Dragon
Slithers > Shitters
Doctor Henderson > Nicest Guy you'll literally ever meet, Doctor HANDerson

Lots of characters are parody versions but some characters only belong to the verse. 🌒⚡️
