Stories you will never write

This will sound incredibly stupid, but a tongue in cheek parody of dystopian YA novels, where society is divided into 4 classes by an evil dictator. When a child turns 16, they are sent to a different group at random. A girl from the lowest class moves to the second highest group, where she meets a guy. Together, they escape to the desert surrounding the society, and join a group of rebels, where she meets another guy and has the obligatory tug of love while being a figurehead for a rebellion.

Now is probably a bad time to mention that you're sorted into the group according to who your favourite Beatle is (Ringo being the lowest class, John being the highest, McCartney being the second highest, George being the middle.) People who like them all are sent to the desert.
Also the dictator is the blue meanie, and everyone's name is a Beatles song pun. (The main character is called Octavia Garden, the two love interests are Jude Hey and Alan o'Rigby.)
Yoko is a president Coin style figure.
Also everyone is forced by the government to have Bowlcuts.

Dammit, I have SOOO many concepts in my head that will probably never see the light of day. Unfortunately, I can only work on a series at a time and sometimes it hurts my creativity.Just today I came up with a very cool concept, but scrapped it right after.

I hope I'll be able to finish the story I'm working on, at least,

I have so many stories I’ll never write that I literally couldn’t even start detailing them I have some daydreaming stories that are sort of just fun as internal creative “background noise” – the kind of thing that wouldn’t ever make a good story (no plot, underdeveloped characters, whatever) but is still fun to dream about and helps keep creativity and inspiration flowing over the last year or so, I have started writing story “fragments” that I know I won’t continue writing but they just will not get out of my head it’s good for my brain space and I guess it can be counted as writing practice? And, because I know the story isn’t going anywhere, it’s a super low pressure kind of writing

Back when I was a naive lil' bitch, I had a brilliant little idea: Go write a quality fanfiction to sell out and get popular on Wattpad, and then go write something that'll actually make me money. The core idea in particular was crossing One Step From Eden and RWBY.

Of course, I realized many things since that time in my life:
-Wattpad is a dogshit platform for organic growth. Why sell out if I don't get anything in return?
-I don't have the spark necessary to create that story
-I'd be miserable trying to write it, I think.

What I MIGHT actually do is go write a Killing Floor fanfic, though.

I play Santa but with the commando chicken head.

I had an idea for a powerpuff girl fanfiction.

After the powerpuff girls defeated MojoJojo, their crimefighting days have become very monotonous and simple which has given them more time to focus on a normal life. A new villain group is trying to take the superpowers away from the powerpuff girls, which includes recruiting a key ingredient to their scheme, the omniscient Narrator's son who is also telling the story.

It was awkward storytelling, since the Narrator's son is bombarded with everything that's happening in real time so his poor focus is always just zip-zapping around.

I stopped writing fanfictions after I got a insult as the only comment and my computer with the fanfic crashed and died.

My favorite OC's misadventures throughout the multiverse. At the time, it had dozens of arcs, random characters I thought of on the spot, many twists and turns, everything collected from 10-20 year old me's brainstorming late at night.

I'd never write it. It's too long. It's too long. Even my novel projects aren't going past a bunch of books with a definitive end for that group's journey.

I have an entire notebook in my Evernote for the stories I'll never get to tell. It's filled with points, details and background stories with little to no plot!

I'll share this one story that I think is too ambitious for me to write. I call it The Constellations Trilogy. It's about an organized crime group whose agents are named after stars. They are divided into other teams such as Zodiac, which is the elite team, etc. The head of this group is called Night Sky.

BOOK 1: GEMINI
An unsuspecting young man was taken into an illegal service agency, beaten to almost death for defying orders only to be revealed as the twin brother of an agent called Gemini. When Gemini came back, he bonded with his twin brother and persuaded him to stay. Of course he declined and demanded to be returned to his home. But the agency only gave him two options: stay or be killed. So he stayed and trained as one of their soldiers.

In the end, the reader would find out that he was a government spy, assigned to infiltrate the agency's base.

BOOK 2: CONSTELLATIONS
The twin brother became one of the Zodiac members after he killed one of them. He worked hard for the Constellations and for the government. Then Hercules were beaten by their rival agency. Night Sky was angry and focused on beating the rival.

This is where Gemini found out that his twin brother was a mole.

In the end, the reader found out that they were triplets and their third brother was a prodigy of their rival agency. Constellations won, the twin brother was no where to be found.

BOOK 3: NIGHT SKY
After rival agency gave a huge blow to Constellations, Gemini agreed to work with the government and tell them about Night Sky and Constellations. The government pit Constellations against their rival agency to lure Night Sky out of his hiding.

The government managed to wipe out the entire Constellations. Twin brother rescued Gemini and the prodigy, let them escape and start over.

Phew... I'll be relieved if there's anyone who wishes to adopt this.

I am a daydreamer and been that way since I was a kid so I come up with lots of stories. One I will never write though is one where a reporter goes to the house of a middle aged man who lives all alone and who has been a suspect in a whole series of killings of women, the ages ranging from 10-30. The women were used for their organs to sell on the black market. So the reporter (who is a female about 20 years of age) interviews him but feels uneasy the whole time. She then gets a call from her manager saying to get out of there now because the police have now connected everything to this man. She tries to leave but ends up getting killed too. At the end the perspective switches to the police who were listening to that whole situation on the recording try to find the man again.
The only reason why I don't want to write this is because I feel like there will probably be something like this out there and because i don't think I can actually pull off writing this and making it sound good,
Sorry for all the words.

idk if that counts but I have so. many. oneshots. or stories that I started and then ended after one chapter.

I usually have a very specific scene in my head that won't let go unless I type it out. and once that's done Poof. my motication is gone haha

I kinda thrive with my episodic comic for that reason, I can bullshit a whole new scenario every week no need to commit muahaha

but I also know that I will never write some genres and themes because I don't think I would enjoy the neccessary research.
aka, anything political or with like, a huge organization behind it.

I'm good at character focused plot, so I'll stay in that lane

I don't know. I have a ton of one offs and series and that kind of thing in my head. Heck, I've got six series just in one shared universe, so I try not to put big walls up around "never write" ideas.

That said, there is an exception. I had two separate ideas, one kind of sprouting from the other, but both distinct. The first one was a 1920s American set superhero story with different takes on heroes. Specifically, Punisher, Daredevil, Moon Knight, and Ghost Rider as a team hunting supernaturally powered mobsters. Even had a pitch all written up to be read as a radio show in Mid-Atlantic English. It was going to be an all women cast of characters. Moon Knight would shift from Khonshu to Sehkmet, Ghost Rider would be an old twenties stunt horse diver, Punisher was Francine "Frankie" Castle, wife of a murdered arms dealer who took over the business, and Marsha Murdoch, who was a pretty standard gender swap of a character.

The concept and the thought of filing off the Marvel serial numbers led me to thinking about a group of women escaping west from terrible conditions in America in the 1800s. Most everyone would come from a maligned group of the time - heavily built Irish enforcer from Boston, Chinese rail worker, freed woman leaving the South, and a German gunrunner wrangling with corrupt rail magnates making demonic deals and sacrificing people for success.

I just don't think a middle-aged white dude is the right person to tell those stories. Maybe someday with a collaborator, but I've got a ton of other projects that I can do that aren't walking into somebody else's life and telling a story using their experiences as fodder.

Everyday life stories (like slice if life). Or a story that doesn't have some fantasy element in it.

I have a story idea for a crime drama. I probably will never write it because it goes to some really dark places and I don't know if I could get into that kind of headspace.
