This is the place where you can put your ideas that just aren't working for you, but are too good to just let die.


(This is a suggestion brought to me by Blue Revenge.)

There comes a time when even the best of us come up with a really great idea and either we just can't seem to write it, or we try but get nowhere. But, as great artists in the world of words, we don't want to just let that idea die without an honest chance at life.

So, if you have come across this problem, perhaps this thread is for you.

Rules:
  • Post the idea as clearly and plainly as possible. The amount of detail is up to you, but the more the better.

  • If this is an idea that has already been worked on, but has hit the wall at 100mph, you may post a link to it if it is on the forums or post what you have so far if it is not on the fourms. This is more to give the potential adoptive "parent" of the idea an indication of where you were going.

  • Once you post the idea, it no longer is yours. You have officially given it up into the caring hands of another person.

  • Make sure that anything you may want later is omitted from the idea post (i.e. the names of people or places, etc.).

Here's mine. I thought about it years ago but I just can't find a proper time to establish the groundwork for the plot. But the premise is basically:

quote:

During the disastrous Children's Crusade in 1212 led by the boy preacher Stephan, many of the young 'crusaders' either returned home, disheartened, got lost, were captured into slavery, or died in the hazardous journey. Despite being ill equipped, a group of little girls managed to reach Arabia and were taken in by a group of Crusaders that would be soon called the 5th Crusade. However, due to hardships and dwindling resources, the Crusaders eventually had to abandon the girls in a lonely post south of the Holy Land, Jerusalem. Fully aware of the threat of bandits and enemy Saracens, the Crusaders promised the girls that they would immediately return once they reach Jerusalem which they left them with some equipment like armor and weapons to fend for themselves and portions of food to combat their hunger.

The Crusaders however, never came back.

With only the five of them against the unforgiving desert and the ever present danger of wandering enemies, the young Crusaders put up a shoddy outpost in the middle of nowhere, still believing that what they are doing is for a greater purpose. Nonetheless, times past in their little 'Fort of God' is pretty laid back and the girls manage to even enjoy themselves, getting accustomed to the desert life.

But will their cheerful days last forever in the midst of a holy war?


It's a Slice of Life involving the story of young girls during the Crusades. May or may not include huge amounts of tropes regarding Tear Jerkers, Crowning Moments of Heart Warming and Awesome, War is Hell, The Determinator and all around Bitter-sweetness.

Have fun, whoever wants to adopt this plot. :)
