Where did you story came from?

[DogshitJay]

All of my fantasy story ideas come to me in dreams with the magic system worldbuilding fully formed. For my current story, I was doing a creative writing job application and had to write something "steamy". Then I found myself wondering what happened to my characters after so I just kept going.
If you're into a bi-sexual romance triangle that is quite NSFW 18+. check me out!

I like telling the way I made this story in this simple manner:

You know love triangles? You know how much they suck? The initial plot of my comic, The Stars Above Us, basically going "what if the two love rivals fall in love WITH EACH OTHER instead"

And uh... The concept just starts devolving from there until I have the current plot.

Hahaha, all of you getting inspiration from entertainment while I got mine from my pure, unfiltered hate for love triangles. Wonder what would've happened if I went with that story tho.

On another hand, I got the idea for my fantasy comic from Hetalia. That is a long, very detailed story that I'll probably type in when I wake up later, because it's 2am and I need to get ready for bed.

I created my short comic when I was in a really bad fight with my family...I have some home issues ( ...I guess like every family...) that day there was power cut and I was really stressed, suddenly I grabbed a pen and a paper and started to draw...that's how I made my lovely comic, of course everything it's fine in my life now

Honestly i have no idea.

My story plot, Gemmoner, is created by myself only. I always think of it almost everyday and figure out about what could make it better. I build characters, think of the plot, mind mapping my story and do dialogue all by myself. My story is inspired from one anime " Fate/Stay Night" about manservant.

My story was inspired by a random joke i said while talking to a friend. Like if you accidentally found out you were immortal and you went to a doctor: and they were like 'It seems like you might have a slight chance of immortality...' and the patient would Freak OUT. XD, and yea i built on that - and thats where i found both my title and plot! "A slight chance of Immortality"!

and heck yea i discuss my plot with people! maybe a bit too much... but i can't reveal too much, because i want people to be surprised!

Well, see, I don't do drugs(Don't do drugs kid) . But I had recently finished Breaking Bad. And so I was pretty high. Some Republicans on YouTube were bashing immigrants, calling them illegal aliens. So I thought, hey, fuck it, Im gonna draw about a scenario where a literal illegal alien crashes on earth and comes face to face with our diverse and( In 99% cases) really loathsome cultures. Welp, and here I am.

Cryptids and the supernatural. Ever since I was young, I've always thought to myself: what if I could make a story based on cryptids that lived in their own world? Fighting evil, connecting with the characters, and having adventures? Thus, Cryptic Yume was born. I've always believed that if humans can have stories, emotion, and adventures, why can't cryptids?

Idk. I just rolled with it to be honest. Having the idea of someone's POV towards the MC of the story. I wanted to reveal at the end that the POV that you're reading from is the FBI agent the MC was assigned to. But that's stupid considering this person's POV I'm writing doesn't exactly know much about the MC and can only observe the MC inside MC's apartment since I restricted it to one place for the setting of the story.

Mixed off my experiences growing up in a city, how mental illness can irreversibly change your life, zelda was some inspirations for the fantasy aspect, horror and even dreams.

All Broken Gods | Tapas

[tchotchkeco]

My story came from me being salty about the medical industry. The plot ideas just came to me over time on their own. Characters were inspired from roleplays I did. After making up a lot of stuff on the spot you start to keep one or two things and start meshing your own ideas with it.

[Raknay]

I wanted to do something inspired in Terry Pratchet work
A fantasy world based in mesoamerican mythology, pushing a little the mythos of the astronaut gods. Whit references to videogames, RPGs, animes and nerd pop culture.

An otaku woman from our world is reincarnated in there as a little girl, and because of their lore they think she is the next Dark lord.

[Conrad_Os]

The whole idea came from this one random drawing I made

The Regulars | Tapas

[Raknay]

Years of Dungeons and Dragons and all jrpg fantasy based.
When sir Terry Pratched died I tough to do something based in Mystara, a classic D&D setting I get as a child and try to put his kind of humor.

My comic actually started with an Invader Zim Oc with a Yinyang motif that I decided to make human, then I wondered what sort of powers I could create based on positiveness and negativity. from there I wondered what sort of world setting would make sense for this character and what sort of struggles she could go through with her powers.

many of the characters are based on different aspects of my life or have quirks from real people that I know too.

And thats how the Modern Fantasy/ slice of life/ mystery that is TLC was born!

My boyfriend and I were goofing around on a game. I had a dark elf, he decided to go mage. At some point, he decided he was bitten by a vampire when he was on the game by himself, having run into a vamp guild. They had rp'd they bit him for food, and thus I had to come to his rescue. Over the years, we joked about it, had fun with it. Then while in Second Life, after having spent years learning how to build, it dawned on me. Especially when I was going over some of our pictures and found one of my favorites. I really needed to tell their story. Not how we played it, but how I had come to know them, and the tools I have at hand. When I began in SL, there wasn't much in the nice look for her to be purple, hence her pale appearance. Times have thankfully changed.

Here is her updated look with two of her friends, Uletla & Sakura (left to right - Uletla, Sakura, Brieya)

I wanted a project for a contest, so I wrote down like ten ideas I'd been kicking around, went to Taco Time with my fiance at 1 AM, and talked about which I liked best and how they could be combined. (Left to Rot is mostly a combination of 2)
I talk like all of it through with her still, but I've always talked about my stories with somebody! I have very patient, tired friends. Reid is super inspired by Akino Matsuri's mediums and Jewish folklore (that's why they're Japanese/Ashkenazi). Allie is inspired by a lot of my personal frustrations with disability and media.
