How did you come up with your story? Let's Talk!

I actually always have at least 3 going at once! If I try to stick to one I burn myself out on the idea. So I always have a main one I'm working on then two that I flip back and forth between when I feel the urge

[Wocalich]

I see. If it works for you, then I'm glad

I was bored and had already read all the good books in the YA section so I started daydreaming and came up with the initial concept (the kids just want to be kids but destiny keeps being a bitch, and also there's aliens and dragons) and started writing.
The story and characters changed a lot since the first draft (I was 14 when I completed it and now I'm 19), but for some reason it still feels like the first story I wrote, even though the characters only kept basic things like name and design and the lore did a 180°.

Mine stared off as me wondering if someone who’s newly human would conform to the same societal structures when it came to sexuality and gender norms. From there it turned into a reincarnation story and I wanted to explore all of the different emotions that come with being human (hence the titles of my updates). Also, the different forms of love, from platonic friendships, familial bonds, to romance and everything in between.

Baking, love, and a demon

Did you hear of "To the Eternal You"? Your story reminds me of it

[Wocalich]

A being drops something(I don't remember what) into the world. This thing transforms into a stone, then into an injured dog, then into a human. As it interacts with others it takes on various experiences and becomes more and more human. It's by the same mangaka who wrote Koe no Katachi
Edit: Here it is:

To Your Eternity Vol. 1

[Wocalich]

Me too...
@Penni you gotta tell us when you publish it

I was on Facebook playing petville and I realized how much I loved virtual pet and lifesim games and wanted to make a story based off them! So I drew a few really bad designs and it kept evolving and evolving into what it is now, which I hope is no longer really bad.

(edit) Here is the link! I gottw get used to posting that.

With my webcomic, Joe Flamingo, It's a project that I let myself make mistakes with and push myself. Doing things I'm not used to so I can improve. But for the story itself, I just combined things I enjoy and give it my own twist to it. My own "Yanik-flair"!

My Webtoon was originally going to be an overwatch fan fiction where I made an OC and the narrative was that all the characters in the game would come together against a common enemy, understanding one another. However, as I made it, I realized I had a lot of original ideas so I decided to add a magic system, create more orginal characters, pick the theme of Empathy as my foundation. I wrote the story and later, I decided to get it made into a Webtoon, directing every step of it. Gama Byeonhwan was actually Hana Song but she was modified into her own character. The Ingan were the Omnic. The man who is now Chibimask was previously my OC but he's been modified a ton.

That's interesting but I don't know much about Overwatch. What kind of game is it?

[foxnflames]

Oooohhhh, I know what you’re talking about. I actually read the manga To you, the Immortal. I found it on a whim like a year ago. I’ve never found anyone else who reads it it didn’t inspire my story but the reincarnation/immortal aspect did make me think of it

[Wocalich]

I found it this year while browsing Amazon. Isn't it so good??

Got it, it's different anyways but it still made me think of it haha

A team based Shooter with a decent amount of lore. I wanted the game to have a narrative so I was going to make my own but then I realized that I could just make it its own story. The webcomic I'm writing now is massively different from what my fanfiction would have been.
