KHV Original Story Collaborators : Story-line voting

I'm so sorry that I'm late with this again >.<

But, here are the five suggestions I got that you shall be voting on.

More detailed discussion will begin either on Saturday the 10th, or whenever everyone has voted. Make sure you give some reasons for why you voted for whatever you voted for.

1)
Post apcalyptic setting, after human civlisation has been wiped out by a terrible disaster, the story follows a group of diverse characters who need to work together find a new refuge after being kicked out of their settlement for alleged crimes that they didn't commit. They will need to survive against the harsh elements of nature, outlaw bandits that roam the wastes and a mysterious gunslinger that slowly hunts them down.

2)
What about something using gods? You can use like egyptian or greek but what if the god had many forms and went by different names but they were still the same gods. Anyway, long ago they were forced to go into hiding in order to survive. They made themselves mortal and unaware of who they really were, when they died they were just reborn as someone else. Although they made precautions that if they were ever needed, their powers would reawaken and they would discover who they were again. But until then all that showed they were a god was a mark somewhere on their body with the symbol of that god. Now, it's modern day and dark forces are rising. They had been going around with normal lives unaware they were gods, as they are needed their powers reawaken. It is up to them to quickly discover who they really are and save the world before it is too late.

3)
So the story starts out in an area that sort of looks like the previews of Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Steam-Punkish, maybe? The main characters parents are killed before his/her eyes, and seeks to avenge the death of his/her parents. Kinda like any movie you seen before, but this story has a twist. I thought it out till the end, and it's really psychological on the main character's part. He/She embarks on a path around his entire world, making new friends, enemies, and gaining advice from wise people. The twist is that along the way, the main character starts remembering fragments of what happened on the day his parents were killed. When he/she has all the fragments put together in one piece, he/she realizes that he/she was the one who killed his/her parents.

4)
The story begins with two rival gangs/families waging a war for control over a city. The people not involved in the war tend to stay out of the way until they are forced to fight. A group of people not involved in the war and with no desire to be part of it decide to try to leave, which has always been seen as impossible.
While leaving somehow, they all get tangled up in the war and still working together, try to stop it and bring peace.

5)
You could have a pirate ship, or just a ship where it's crew have to survive, a little boat on a big ocean/or a small space ship in a large universe. The premise being they either have to somehow get home or someone could inherit a ship and against all the odds find a mismatched crew and survive on the sea. You could have them going up against pirates, sea monsters or aliens (for the space ship).

 

Voting for 1), because it seems to be the one we can work the most with. All of the others either restrict how the story will go, or require the setting to be something certain, leading to more for us to manage. (e.g. the gang war.)

Also, 1) will allow for more fragmented story telling, as each character will have his or her own backstory. This means there's less likely to be conflict between writers, because ideas are less likely to clash.

Don't get me wrong; the other ideas are good, but I get the impression that the suggesters have conceptualised more than what the rest of us understand.

 

[x] 2

Obviously I shouldn't vote for mine, so I picked based on my personal preferrence. I like the concept og gods in general, one of my long term projects is actually centered around a system of gods managing Earth. So I have ideas about what i'd want to write for it already.

 

CHOICE 1 RISE UP

As P mentioned, the other choices seem to have a defined plot, while this can really be molded to each writer's imagination. I've also been meaning to write some apocalypse story eventually, and this will give me a chance.

 

I'll go with 1 but I could care this anyway.

 

[2]

I love writing fictional stuff, and adding gods can really let your mind wander a bit with what you can do. I also think that having the idea of a god losing its memory on purpose and then finding out who they really are. You can really work with a character starting at point A and ending at point B with a huge difference inbetween, or not so much. It really depends on the writing, and I think a lot can go into this

 

I pick 1) because as P (who's usually right from what I've heard) said, there will be less conflict.

 

I shall input a vote for Choice 1, though I must say 2 was quite close as well.

 

I hate being a band-wagonner, but in this case, I really like Choice 1.

LET'S DO THIS.

 

Choice 1 for me. c:

 

Freaking 2.


I like the idea of using Greek Gods. :]

And yeah, like there aren't too many apocalyptic stories/video games already lol.

 

1.

I like post-apocalyptic scenes.

 

I'mma go with... 2.

 

Hmm, well I can't go for my own so I think I'll go for 1. It possibly has the most possibilities for where it can go.

 

Whelp, we're nine days overdue. Are we gonna start something?

(Also, doesn't this publicly-voting thing kinda go against the intentions of the anonymous presentation of ideas?)

 

I'm just going with flow for the time being, but you're right i'd like to get going with this asap.

 

Sorry, I've been going through a lot so this hasn't really been at the top of my mind...

Plot 1 was the clear winner, so I'll open the discussion for it now.
