I like writing different power dynamics and I really like writing May-December relationship. For 'The Love of a Werewolf' it actually started with a vague idea of a teacher/student relationship. Then I decided I wanted the younger person to be the one with power, then I decided I wanted to write about werewolves... then it kind of snowballed into the what the fic currently is.
For 'The Demon of the Sea'..... I don't really have much to say on it. I wanted to write about a poor fisherman taking care of his little sister. Then there was a shark monster who was cutting into the prime fishing time for the fisherman... Then there was a romantic arc between the fisherman and the shark monster.
I'm also working of 'The Ghost of Summerside Cemetery.' I literally got that idea by driving through a really big cemetery and seeing a statue that was kind of falling apart in the shade of a big tree by the water. That's all it took. I won't be posting any of it until TLoaW and TDotS are finished though.
(Also save me because I also have an idea for a war story but I work full time and I'm a student and I don't have time for another project.)
They all sound good, tbh, but keep your focus on one project if it's possible or else you will overwork yourself
Off of a random story idea I had written down and was thinking through that combined with some newer inspiration and it clicked better. To walk you through it Runner was initially going to take place on Earth in a sort of bring powers to the normal world type of scenario. A massive pylon crashes down from space somewhere in the Pacific and produces a signal that gives people powers. The powers were just a side effect and the pylon was an alien device meant to drain power or resources or something (this concept didn't go very far) from the planet. Around this time Made in Abyss came out and inspired me to kind of gamify my world building some. What remained was some inspiration for the lore and history for Runner and Pylons (no longer nefarious) that produce a sort of WiFi signal that allows people to use magic. Made in Abyss brought me to the idea of creature design and the idea of having the characters start at their strongest at the beginning and get weaker and weaker the further they get from a pylon. So as the story progresses it starts out with relatively lesser dangers but then it gets more dangerous not because the threats are more dangerous necessarily but because they no longer have the tools to deal with them easily. The name and concept around what the story would actually be about came from world building that idea out. What would a place that lives under these rules be like? Separated without as much contact between cities. People wouldn't travel as much because of the dangers and wouldn't live very far from a city's safety. But governments and people would still need to communicate. So it reminded me of the ancient Chilean courier runners: The Chasqui.
That's pretty much the start to finish of it. I could go into the actual plot and such but I'd prefer that you read and learn as I tell that part 
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 
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 whoâs 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.
I gotta finish writing it first! 
@wocalichofficial it's going to be called Devilish Cupcakes
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:
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.

Oooohhhh, I know what youâre talking about. I actually read the manga To you, the Immortal. I found it on a whim like a year ago. Iâve never found anyone else who reads it 
it didnât inspire my story but the reincarnation/immortal aspect did make me think of it
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.
I used to have this habit, I did it with media both good and bad where I put a random voice into the existing story and just made fun of all the characters for their actions. I was doing this with Twilight and then I thought about making a parody of the vampire genre. I came up with this story of a vampire priest, but it was basically just a very straightfoward typical vampire story, but with a gay priest twist. However one of the side characters from that story, I ended up liking a lot. He was kind of a Danny Devito vampire and now he's my main character.
It evolved from the concept of just a creepy weird town with all the residents being secretly monsters and it followed an emotionless 8-year old girl. I remembered having no adult show their face as a style choice. All coming from a joke about "what the hell was wrong with this place".
It changed alot from there the characters are now 13, the every resident being monster point was eventually dropped, though it did had lasting effects on my human character designs. And my characters personalities were either tone down (hila, F) or just changed completely (Mc)
I had written a story in Turkish about people with masks covering their faces. The no face part reminds me of it
Just a prompt is enough for me to build an entire story. *Our Universe was actually a short story I wrote for a writing prompt in a discord server:
When someone's heart breaks so does a piece of our world. This creates fissures, valleys and even cracks in the pavement. Tell a story about one of the broken pieces in this world.
I made it a short cosmic horror romance story, and then I was like "this could be a comic". So I did that. It was supposed to be a oneshot as well. But then it just got bigger and bigger. Now I'm working on ending season 2 and leading into season 3.
I will say that even vague concepts can help with a story. The vaguer or the stranger, the better. Hell, I've been working on a comic based on the fact that butterflies also drink blood. I ended up doing concept art of a woman with butteflies in her hair because she's dead. And then I thought -- "what if she was a ghost or back from the dead?" Boom -- another cosmic horror story.
Thanks! I really like vague prompts when it comes to storytelling. And if not a vague prompt, then a certain aesthetic or basic concepts (such as the four seasons, the four elements, chess pieces, etc). It gives me a lot of room to play around with the ideas and really throw in the things I want.
It's like using flour for a base. The idea is the flour, and all of the spices and herbs are the things I want from the idea and my end goal. A sprinkle here, a dash there, and you got yourself a nice flour mixture you can use for recipes!
This may or may not be a little embarrassing, but I came up with Super after listening to the song âShadowâ by BTS. The lyrics gave me this idea of what it would be like to be famous but also have all of these terrible things going on in the background that the public doesnât see. So while you get everything you want, fame and fortune, youâre also faced with challenges that most people would never in their lifetime encounter. It shows just how lonely it can be at the top.
Some of the events, especially in the beginning, are also based around real-life issues I faced.
listening to Dynamite by BTS
Did you say BTS 
That's perfectly fine, nothing embarrassing. Who knows, maybe people will understand "how it can be lonely at the top" thanks to your story
Oh? Do you dance? 
Oh I tried to dance but Iâm not so great at it I was more so referring to what happened towards the end of chapter one with the best friend and the whole housing thing. I had a âfriendâ once who went behind my back and basically kicked me out of my own apartment to get the master bedroom from me. It was a hot mess, but Iâm better off away from them.
And lol yessss Dynamite is amazing!
