If you wrote a book...........

[El Bagu]

Hello there! I am a little curious about this thing.

If you wrote a book, what would it be about?

My book would be of a great adventure or a tragic destiny. (I would not write in English of reasons that are obvious ;))

I would never write a book on poetry, would be impossible for me! Ain´t got the skills!!

[Zeanith]

About me and my friends and our odd little world of fairies, mermaids, dragons, vampires, werewolves, witches, demons, angels and the like.

[Master Link]

I would write a fantasy/adventure story.

I always write those kind of stories when we have writing workshop in school. I think some are really good.

[Hylian Hobbit]

I've made a few attempts at writing a book. They were all fantasy type books. And I also helped my older sister a lot with a novel she was writing, which sadly was not finished.

If I wrote a book, it would either be: Fantasy/Adventure, religion based, or a humorous fiction book. I've written several long parodies, but I have yet to write a full blown book. I don't have enough time any more.

[Axle the Beast]

I'm already in the process of writing a book. It's a fantasy trilogy.

As for future books after that... it'll likely differ greatly; I'm kind of weird. But they'll likely all involve fantasy or science fiction.

[Amelie]

I would write a fantasy/adventure type book with some plot twists I think ^^

I love fantasy so I think that would be the easyest for me!

[Kitsu]

If I were to write a book, it would probably concern...many darker and depressing things. I don't whether it comes from reading a lot of Stephen King, or learning at lot about Politics, likely more of the latter[I'm not being sarcastic, either], but I find it difficult to write about "happy things".
I doubt I'd write fantasy, as I tend to lean in the direction of science-fiction. I've even considered writing a post-apocalyptic narrative. Sort of along the lines of where the world's whole infrastructure and economy crash and the like.
I can't write happy stories.

If not that, then probably something to do with sociology and the zeitgeist of the American media and public. But things along the line of evolution and science also interest me.

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

Mine would be a Sci-Fi.

It would probably be about a war with a hostile alien species.

(Oh wait, has that already been done?)

[Amelie]

I think it has. But. Fantasy has been done over and over to. If you add someting special to make it yours. it will be fine i think ^^

I would like to write all sorts of different storys. Fantasy.. mystery.. all kinds.. if I could. But I would surely start with Fantasy ^^

[El Bagu]

I´m glad you folks don´t want to write/ do write crime stories. There are enough of them I believe -.-

[linkman8]

For a long period of time, I have been writing a fantasy/adventure novel, but it's kind of like halfway or less done, and I don't know where to go next. Typical writer stuff. :)
I love writing fantasy though, it's a lot of fun.

[Josh]

I'd love to write a book on anything that has to do with the Universe. I love to read all of it and I at least think I have some knowledge of it.

If I had the time to write one.

[MagnumPrimers]

It would probably end up being a rip off of 1984 now matter how hard I tried for it to not be.

[DisappearingMist]

I've always wanted to write a book. It was a goal I had when I was quite a bit younger. I wrote several stories, and one was 60+ pages, but was pretty cheesy. My main problem was/is that I don't like writing conflict into a story. I don't like to make bad things happen to my characters, for some reason. That seriously limits a story, and would not make it sell able or anything.

If I did write one, it might be in the fantasy genre, with a bit of romance thrown in.

That's understandable in new writers. The more inexperienced writers would prefer to tell a story where everything is peaceful and there's no conflict, and nothing happens to the character. One of the primary parts of writing it writing the conflict. Without it, a story cannot be.
Sorry, I learn this stuff in my Advanced English class. :)

[DisappearingMist]

^ Hehe, no problem. I understand why there needs to be a conflict, but I still like happily ever after that isn't reality sometimes!

[Caleb, Of Asui]

Seeing the name of this topic made me laugh a little, as I HAVE written a book and I sent it to Shadow Mountain (a publishing company) a few days ago. It's mainly Fantasy/Adventure, but has a chapter or two that seem relatively sci-fi. It's actually where Asui is from to start with. I sure hope they decide to publish it. I wrote an amazing opening paragraph toward the end of production, though, and people have told me that it's really good, so I believe I have the right to get my hopes up a little bit.;)

[LoZfan]

I'm actually in the middle of writing a series of books called the Sons of Chaos, it's about a usually unrully groupe of warriors and adventurers.


Here are the main six charatersfrom the 1st book:Sons of Chaos:
Locke Vangard/werewolf rouge
Xeidex Vangard/ Blackknight/Deathknight
Benzont/ Necromancer
Nihdinih/ Naga princess/sourceress
Dexeidex/ Flesh feind/mock up of Xeidex

the adventurers are usually evil... I made them all anti-heros generally

[Vincent]

I would never ever write a book, but I guess if I did it'd be about....... Oh I have to think about this one..

I guess it be pretty dark themed. About a war over the land. Maybe a story about a particular soldier in that war, or perhaps something about a whole bunch of different people.

That's all I'm going to elaborate on, because I'm never writing a book.

[EponaOwns]

Only god knows xd Probably a fantasy story that is pretty epic and outragous. Maybe a person who gets trapped in a soda can or something. Has to be something that has to do with a soda can.

[El Bagu]

Seeing the name of this topic made me laugh a little, as I HAVE written a book and I sent it to Shadow Mountain (a publishing company) a few days ago.

Well I thought about that after posting this thread. It should be wrote/have written instead of only wrote!

I wish you good luck and hope you get published :)

[blackice_cc]

Well, as lots of other people seem to be saying, I'd write a fictional adventure type book. I'd of course create a completely different world, of my own invention. I have no clue what it might be about, but I'll find out if I ever decide to write it.
That being said, I think I can't just pick up some paper and write. I think I need to become better at all kinds of writing before I attempt something like that, if I want it to actually be good. So for now, I'm just working towards that.

[midnightokami]

I would mostly write a book about vampires, wolves, extremely morbid kitty cats, blood, demons, angels and list goes on and on. It would be a very extremely bloody, morbid, psycho story. It would be mostly mystery and horror. :lol:

[Nintendo_Master]

Probably a fantasy/action/adventure book...

I have written a book (I'm only 15, so I can't publish it yet) about people who go to some lab to get a cure and some cash, but they end up being held hostage. The "cure" they were injected with slowly turns them into cybornetic beings, and that's how they make robots in the future (for my storline, anyway)

Anyway, most of the story is from the character's point of view and he is reflecting on how he is changing, if he ever will get out, and pretty much life itself...But there are 50 people all being held, and they eventually revolt and get out...but how?:P

Anyway, that's one of the storylines I've come up with.

[Y2K3]

I'd never be able to write a book for the life of me as I'm a horrible writer. However, if I did, I think I might write a story about a fictional character in a non-fictional place. While I'm not really sure how I'd want to go about it, it would essentially be about someone in my neighbourhood/community about 70-100 years ago. I've done research as to what the area was like, and I think it would be very interesting.

[Claire]

I really couldn't imagine myself writing a novel, there is just no way. If I were to ever write a book, I'd want to write non-fiction. I feel as though writing of real life events and providing factual information would be much more beneficial to a reader than merely a clever plot and out-of-this world characters.

Honestly, I could only imagine myself contributing towards a textbook, or maybe a biography. There isn't really much out there beside that, that I feel is really worth the time to do - since I want to see others learning.

[Killswitch]

I would write a book about smut, murder, adventure, kung fu, magic, and trolls. I'm sure it would sell many more copies than the Twilight series. It would probably even go on to win some sort of best sellers pulitzer award too.

[Kaynil]

I think I have a lot of work to do before thinking in publishing a book, but based on what I have written, it would most likely be a long story that is a mix of a fairy tale with some adventures in a row.

I'd love to write a book full with short stories but I am really bad writing short stories, I always end up writing a lot. XD

[Sword of Faith]

If I wrote a book, (which I happen to be doing, by the way) it would be an action/adventure/fantasy novel.

[Matt]

I've already been working on a series for a few years now. I've gotten a lot of praise for it already. It will be a series of nine books. It's action/adventure in a sci-fi setting. Futuristic. I've been working on the storyline for a lot longer than that. Many, many years. I've got it really fine tuned. I will not reveal any details for obvious reasons.

[Durion]

I would write a fantasy/adventure book set back in the times of Draons and mystical creatures :D. It would be about a great war probably and how the war goes on until I would finally end the series with the victory of one of the sides.

[Shadsie]

:) I've WRITTEN books. I've been bothering people to try to get them published - without success so far, but I've heard that most writers suffer loads of rejection before anyone takes a chance on them. Publishing is a business, after all. Publishers and agents like to seek out marketabilty (sometimes over good writing, sadly), and seem to rather stick with "safe bets" - i.e. writers already establised in the business. I've researched this junk... I am serious about pursuing being a novelist.

That said, I write fantasy. My very first "novel" is a big steaming pile we will not talk about. It rests in a box somewhere, awaiting the day I get the guts and desire to give it a complete overhaul.

Another novel I've tried to get published is something I've put on the back burner, as well. I think it could be decent with a little more work, I still like some ideas in it. It is a story of a fantasy world that's based upon cliche's - the people in it fill archetypical roles ("Hero," "Companion" etc.) and they all know about and are doomed to this - the story deals with what people would do in a self-aware fantasy land where they knew they were doomed to their specific cliche's. I wrote that one several years ago and decided, ironically, that it's too cliche' and I'd rather keep it on the back burner than purse publication on it as of the moment.

As far as pieces I'm actively trying to get literary agents and publishers to pay attention to...

I have a website promoting one of them. It has a few sample chapters posted to it. http://www.shadsie.com/MBSite/MBindex.html
It is about a gryphon and the slave woman who raises him from an egg. It has a lot of complicated themes such as the natural world vs. the human world and questions regarding the morality of war and "are humans good or are humans b@%^&*&s?" The story is actually a fantasy with a little bit of sci-fi flavor as genetic engineering is a major plot point and it is shown at some point in the story that the humans arrived to the world on "great birds" (that I hint at being dimension-crossers rather than just space ships, simply because a planet filled with mythical type animals doesn't make sense to me as hard science).

I have another, quite a bit longer novel I'm trying to get attention paid to, but I do not, as yet, have a website for it. I do artwork for it, which sometimes appears on my DA page. "The Featherchaser" is about a boy on a quest - but of a different kind than most quest-fantasies. He grew up in a little walled city that is feared by his world as a place where human sacrifices are preformed - but the city is actually kind, a place that takes in the world's unwanted people and takes care of them. When their young people reach a certain age-group, they are sent out as "sacrifices" to the world upon little world-bettering quests of their own chosing. My main character is facinated by nature and chooses to collect one feather from every bird (and other feathered creature) in his world to build a scientific record. So... a young person on a quest, but he's not out to destroy ancient evils or collect mystic artefacts... he's just out there being a birdwatcher, all the while meeting people and changing lives in subtle ways along the way. Fairly introspective and stuff about human nature is explored.


I'm currently dabbling/trying to write a new book that's somewhat post-apocalyptic (not immediate aftermath, more like a "couple of centuries after something bad happened to reduce the human population. The survivors and their decendants have gone on with their lives." ) It has to do with small town people, mystical guardian creatures, and the nature of faith - but not regarding any one particular religion. I've taken it upon myself to write a secular novel about the nature of faith, so, while I hope to see it through to the end, if it peters out, I'm sure I can forgive myself because the themes I'm playing with are pretty lofty.

Also of note: I suppose I could vanity press publish (pay a book bindery, do it yourself type), but I do not want to. I want a bonafide literary agent to represent me, a bonafide "we decide who is worthy" publisher to take me on. I need someone besides me and my friends to see my work as "good." I feel that vanity press is a cop-out (and only something I'd do if I found out I was dying and it was my last chance to see my work in print or something). I really want someone in the professional realm to take a chance on me and to give me that kind of validation.

Meanwhile, I'll keep writing because I am addicted to it.

I found this topic again and laughed at the title again, though maybe not in exactly the same context.

Sometime after that post, I got the rejection letter from the publishing company. They weren't really harsh about it though, and they encouraged me to keep writing. :)

I revised the book a bit (actually, quite a lot) and I think it's about ready. I think I need to change the very end just a little bit, then I'll send it to a second publisher. Never fear, I have not given up hope!! The current version is far more likely to get published, I think.

Don't give up hope on your first try. Or your second, or third.... If you really believe in your work, hold on with iron teeth.

I've had many rejection letters from literary agents and publishers for my various works. I just keep trying. In fact, as an act of good humor, I decorated a very nice box to keep them in - I painted it to depict one of my characters. http://www.shadsie.com/MBSite/art/art7.html

It holds lots of letters.

[supergoron97]

I have written short fiction stories about a fictional war between Athens and the rest of Greece, the main character is the Ithacan King Razmius, which is also a nickname of mine

[Abyss Master]

I'm preparing for writing books (FO' REELZ) by writing these little short stories and seeing how I can improve on this and that. My book will be about a "hero" who is not really a hero at all, who grows up in an era where peace is a frail substance and evil hides behind many doors. He grows up to become a master swordsman but continues to see hardships from both within family and friends, as well as perils that come crushing down upon his homeland. After becoming used by a close relative for questionable missions and experiments, he disappears from his village, and is never heard from again, roaming the land as a lone swordsman whose skills are renowned. The people knows him as the "Black Wolf", which will be the title of the book.

Throughout the book he will run into associates of his once close (but now evil, hurr hurr) relative, as well as others who wish to fight for the same cause as he is. And his journy for both justice, as well as redemption, brings him to places never thought to be real.

[Nintendo_Master]

The number one thing a writer needs is PATIENCE. Well, I guess the number one thing is creative ability, but you still need patience when writing anything, especially when it comes to waiting for a book to get approved for production.

[Alder Dragon]

Okay, I'm going to be the black sheep here but.. I'd probably co-author a textbook before I'd write a novel. I'm not much of a fictional writer or reader. As far as fictional creativity goes, I'd sooner come up with a MMORPG than a novel.

[Alter]

I'm actually writing a series of books right now, which are turning out quite well. Expect to see first book on shelves in about 4 years. :

It's a fictional story, yet very realistic. It involves how people relate to each other, their lives, and their deaths.

There will be a novel, followed by three mini-novels, and wrapped up by another novel.

I'd give more detail, but I wouldn't want to ruin it, nor have my ideas stolen. ;)

Look for "One" by Alter, coming soon!

[Legendary Pizza]

Mine would be about how to be a good politic after all then we'd have a bunch of sara palins runing our world

[Dragon Tamer]

I'm actually trying to write a book now. I'm still thinking about the title though...Right now it is called "Forgetful". It is about a girl who is abused from her mother. On her way home she gets jumped on. She blacks out and wakes up with her memory gone. A guy saved her and she later finds out that she is somehow linked with him. He controls the element light, and she controls darkness. Later in the story they find an enemy and they have to find all the people who controls an element.

The story is something like that. I'm going to try and finish it and get it published. :)
Wish me luck! :P

[IvilNatty]

If I wrote a book it would be about magical creatures. No humans would be allowed to be written about. The book would consist of constant adventure, maybe a bit of romance and of course comedy.

[shadowlink626]

i think i would probably write something like the zelda series. forbidden love and action packed adventure. i think atleast someone should write a book about it :)

[MajoraKing12]

I'm writing a book right now and it's a fantasy and adventure. I haven't got very far, but i'm doing good on it.

[Cyrus Skyray]

If I were to write a novel, it would be about a fantasy / sci-fi conceptual universe that I've been constantly adapting for about 4 years now.

[Vash03]

Mine would be so horridly written.. it'd be an action packed book... starting in a high school where I did my day dreaming for it.. lol.. the kid would be the unpopular tough scrapper... "terrorists" would take over the school.. reasons unknown... it'd turn out they were looking for him because he was the key to an ancient power.. there is that and I've wrote a short story thats similar to something you might think of while playing castlevania lol

[Blood Wolf]

Actually, I'm trying to write a book right now. It's a fantasy of middle ages, if not earlier or a bit later, there's conflicts, wars, love, hate, loss of love, more fighting, a few twists.

I'm also trying to aim for a poetry book since I write tons of poetry. ;p

[KrazyKyuubi]

The one book i'm currently working on is a horror book. It also has some comedy in it. I'm trying to put some poetry into it, but it all sucks.

[Gravity]

Probably a Star Trek fiction that revolves around a temporal paradox involving multiple Spock's meeting Trelane and Q.

[Len]

im writting a vey loooooong storyline, (i don,t know how much time will take to be done) is action, horror, suspence and some way of "fantasy" i think, i,ve only made stories original from me (exept the ones i did writte from "4 swords adventures continues" on my profile, i did not continue chapter 4 anyway, "sigh"

[Atsuma]

I like to write about many things. Game Fan fics is one of my favorite things to write on. Like for instance, I am planning on writing a Zelda fanfic for Tetra, for this forum.

Even though I don't really know all the characters in the game, not even the pirates in Tetra's crew, I'll just add random names. Although if someone could help me with that info, I'd appreciate it very much. You can bet that several WW characters will appear, but the plot will not follow Ganandorf's end. Naw, I plan to write something cool, something fun, like the life of Tetra before all that happened in WW.

Aside from Fan fics I write regular stories. I am writing one that I can't mention here, because I am planning on self publishing it one day. When it's done, perhaps you people might be interested in taking a look at it, who knows? ^^ I'm sorry, I just can't give any details on it, I've been keeping it a secret since I started it.

So yeah, that's basically it. So, do we have any hardcore rpers here? Are there some of you who write fan fics here?

[-JelloGoMoo-]

I've wrote a couple. But they haven't necessarily been published. They're just waiting to be...

Fantasy, romance, horror... anything that keeps me interested in my own stories :P

[Arkatox]

Hmm, I wouldn't do a futuristic Scyi-fi novel, because then I would be copying the book that my brother is writting (I just know that it's going to be a New York Times Bestseller!).

I've come up with several cool book ideas. Some are better than others. If I actually do write a book, and get it punlished, it will probably be some sort of Christian fiction.

[ottobot]

if i write a book it would be a fantasy - adventure book mabie a trilogy. i would make it have a dark, haunted forest or a vast kingdom it would probibly become a zelda imitation if i chose the kingdom so i think i'll stick with the forest.

[Mike Pothier]

Historical fiction. I love fantasy and science fiction, so it would have elements of both, but I tend to ground my stories firmly in reality.

[Dungeon killer]

I have writen books before, but to pass time I'm working on a legend of zelda story right now, it's here at the forums (Fan Works=My Story).
I am also working on a metroid story and they are both totally canon, but I might think of publishing a horror story that I wrote last year in 08.

Choices choices choices
so many to make.:thinking:

[Emicon]

I've tried writing books before, but my inspiration always runs out halfway through. I once tried to write a book about me and my friends in high school and all the hardships we had to face. I ran out of steam once these very same friendships fell apart, though.

I've also tried to write fantasy/adventure books. I'll have the story in my head, but I'll just get sick of writing something I already mentally know. I like to write and not know where I'm going to end up, that way I can experience the adventure with my characters. :)

[BlackOut0189]

I've been writing a fantasy adventure book over the course of 4 years similiar to Dragon Ball / Zelda, but much darker. I just wrote the last chapter yesterday! Please wish me luck in getting it published! :)

[Keyshe]

I hope to write many books, I suppose a lot would be fantasy/adventure/scfi but I do have a few in mind that are kind of real world fiction. I would always try to have a deep message or moral lesson. Or at least make the reader think. Interesting and complex characters that are rememberable.

I can see myself writing for children, teens and young adults mostly. I have a bit of a dark side so I couldn't only write children books, but I have strong desire too. And I think my first one will be for kids.

[Daddy]

Back in junior high, I tried to write a book; I just couldn't make it work though. Instead, I ended up writing my story as a screenplay. As to the content of the story, it was basically about a squire who's kidnapped by a Saracen general during the Crusades. Long story short, he befriends his captor, falls in love with a Muslim gal, saves a Jewish slave from execution, mistakenly kills his brother in battle, and ultimately lives just long enough to see his lover murdered by Templar Knights. Yep... it's a tragedy.

I tried to write a few other screenplays after I finished the first one, but nothing ever materialized. I just couldn't find that inspiration I felt with my first project. Well, that... and I just didn't have the time anymore to sit around and type up a 100+ page play off the top of my head.

Maybe I should go back and rewrite my first screenplay. Judging by my when it was written, the damn thing is probably full of grammatical errors galore. Maybe if it was a little more refined, I'd actually bother w/ copyrighting it.

[Arkatox]

Or maybe I might try something fantasy, like similar to the Darkest Age series (that series rocked!).

[DreamDevourer]

I would write a book compiling all my thoughts and internal struggles into one tolme, and a few poems to boot (hah! Socrates cannot write poems, yet Demonthenes can).

If you haven't already read any of the poems, they're on Joshua's page a few pages into our conversations. And of course, none of you will read them, so all the more reason to publish them in a book.

I also have written a few short stories that I would include, and my debate between love, hate, and reason.

[DisappearingMist]

I've recently been thinking about this. I am planning on writing down the story of my life, though it isn't much. I want a record of it. I don't have anything like that from my parents or grandparents, and I would love to have something to pass down to my kids.

[Alex_Da_Great]

I actually started writing a book when I was 10 about the world constantly turning gravity on and off. These kids then flew to another planet because of zero gravity. At one point there was 100% gravity and everyone was squashed! :lol: My book was called "Zero Gravity".

Unfortunately, I didn't finish it because I lost the book (made of paper stapled together! :P) and never saw it again...

[badmuffins]

Fantasy, Adventure, and Friendship. The most feel-good manga of the year!

[K4KING]

If i wrote a book, it would be about a Dark themed-Adventure and Excitement, Comedic and Insane but Romantic and Sentimental.

In short, A book about me in my wacky crazy, teen-problematic, Class enduring pain, love-hate relationship yet pretty girlfriend and boyfriend book.

It may seem strange but with the things i have been through from High School to College, it would make a LOT of sense.

[Ikana]

If I wrote a book it would be about Adventure,Thrilling,and Mystery type book.

Those three things are my favorite in a book.

[Alex_Da_Great]

I recently found the book... Worst grammar, worst writing... Wow I have changed alot since then! :lol:

[Linky]

If I wrote a book it would be about an average kid who is unaware that his parents aren't his actually parents and his whole life is just in an illusion meanwhile he finds out he is a Protector, a person that is subjected to protecting the Universe from a tragic end. And his name would be Shawn.

[Dark Princess]

I actually had to type out a short story for English. It was written poorly.. (I fail at typing stories -.-). It was about the main character going on a journey to get medicine for her ill grandfather, and on her way she meets many friends and foes. The story would've been cool if I added a lot of the stuff I wanted to add but forgot about them.. T_T

[athenian200]

If I wrote a book, it would likely be something like a fairly comprehensive manual, or an in-depth strategy guide. I'm not really an artist/creator, but I'm good at explaining how to do something, or how it works.

I like to use a quote from C-3P0 to describe how I am:

"I'm not much more than an interpreter, and not very good at telling stories. Well, not at making them interesting, anyway."

Of course, the difference is that in my case, I'm an interpreter of what I observe or experience, rather than other languages. Although I do study other languages and experiment with translating things from one language to another, so eventually that may be literal.

I've written things like essays, critiques, and analysis before and been praised by my English teacher for them. The lowest grade I ever got in that class was when I was asked to write a short story. Luckily, it only happened once. I feel fortunate that the school system isn't geared towards demanding creative skill rather than comprehension.

[arkvoodle]

I've often thought of writing stories, but when I start most of them, they are never finished! They just lie there, half finished and eventually, the ideas die away so I can't go back to finish them. :embarassed:


I actually had to type out a short story for English.

I also had to do something like this. We had to write a story in no more or less than 50 words! D: After writing them, we sent them off to a publisher, and yesterday, I got a certificate back in the mail. My 50 word story is now being published! (Even though it wasnt that good. I actually wrote it in less than four minutes...)

Anywho, back to the topic at hand. If I am writing stories, they'll most likely be Sci-Fi, Fantasy or Horror Stories, i'm not very good at writing Murder mysteries and definitely not romances! :xd:

My most recent story was about an ancient civilisation whp was at war with a demon that was released from its prison. They defeat it, and seal it in a Stone Heart which is then sealed away deep underground. Years later, two young boys are playing and are digging holes to "find treasure". One of the boys comes upon a stone wall and begins to whack it with his shovel. Eventually, it crumbles and he falls inside.

He walks over to the middle of the room and finds a box *which he opens*, he takes out the stone heart and accidentaly drops it, releasing the ancient demon which promptly feeds on the boy's soul, thus turning him to stone! The demon then runs rampant, eating people's souls to regain its energy so that it may once again rule over the land! (I better not spoil the rest. It is Zelda Related so...I may post it in the Fan Works section one day [If I actually finish it...])

I would write a book about pure Fantasy and comedy. I add ideas from my head to those books as I write along. I'm kinda making one right now to pass the time.

[Raven]

Two of my favorite genres are fantasy as mentioned above, but I also like horror a lot! I was toying with the idea of mixing them, but even though the world which I imagine is fully developed I'm not sure if it's where I want to start my first book, simply because I know that it is all ready a gruesome and disgusting tale that is almost disturbing at some part. It would include all the classic monsters because a dark force of fantasy book nature was making it all come about.

But right now I'm searching for somewhere else to start. Anyone down for a collaboration??

[Dragon565333]

I wanted to write one about my friends and our struggles, One is poor, other divorce, and my character would die at the end... Weird of course I didn't want to die but I didn't write it lol I stopped. I deleted the thing though... for the better I guess

[LozzyKate]

I've started writing six different books...every one I've never had the energy to finish. I come up with interesting ideas, I think, but once I start writing them out, I never really want to write them. Currently though, I am going to start writing a book about the struggles that a person you'd least expect to have problems, has to deal with. I need characters though. That's the only issue I have. Lol.

[Tony]

I am currently trying to write an adventure book that's like zelda but it's really based on my idea that I had and my adventures I have hiking in the forest.

[Xinnamin]

I've never been able to sit down and think long enough to write a full blown book. I've never even gotten past the 7th chapter of any multi-chapter fanfics I've ever started. But I'm very comfortable with short stories and the like, of which I've written a few. I don't do much original work, but I have a good deal of half-fleshed ideas that with a bit of inspirations may one day find themselves onto paper. At the very least, I've a very defined idea of the types of story I would end up writing if inspiration hit. My choice of subject matter is usually psychology, either the darker aspects of human nature, or at least the heavier aspects of human emotion. I like writing stories with semi-depressing tones. =3

[TreeHuggerPanda]

Beware of wall of text...

Wow, there's a lot of fan fiction and books I'm currently writing, so I'll pick one of the books I'm writing based on real life. It's about a girl who moves in and she's a famous singer and everyone has no clue that she's a famous singer, and this other girl, who has a ton of friends and a boy friend, is really mean to her because her mom is making her be friends with her a ditch her own friends and the singer steals her boy friend, and then her friends leave their friend to the singer. Then the girl changes and finally accept the singer as a friend. And then the singer reveals she's a famous singer and then everyone leaves her, since she didn't tell them she was a famous singer. So then something happens and then everyone goes back to the singer and then the book ends. I'm about at page 60 and since it's based too much on real life, I'm not sure if I would post it.

[Tomoya-kun]

Well it isn't exactly a book, I'm beginning to write a visual novel right now, which is like a book except it's in video game form. :sweat: It's about a guy who meets a girl and they become quick friends, but eventually finds out she has a sleeping disorder that causes her to sleep for weeks at a time. She has one of these sleeping spells a few days later. The night after the girl fell under her sleeping spell, the guy falls asleep and wakes up in a weird version of the world, and then meets a group of five kids, each claiming to be a close friend of the girl. One of the kids, a quiet girl who doesn't talk unless spoken to, tells him that each of the girls closest friends gets sucked into her dream every time she falls under her sleeping spell. Then the story splits into 5 separate stories, one for each of the kids. Yeah, it's not exactly linear since it's a visual novel and not a normal book but I think it's a decent story. :sweat:

[linkman8]

I'm writing a full-length novel with no roots in fan-fiction or anything like that, and I'm around like page 300-something now, but it'll never be published. Just something that my family and I can enjoy, most likely.

[Cel-Shaded Deku]

Well, I don't have the attention span to write any more than 10-15 pages, so I would write smaller things like children's books or newspaper articles.

[Linknmike]

I suppose I would write an American version of Harry Potter.

[Ghosi]

I would of course write down the story that is stuck inside my head. The problem is that it is not done yet... but the main plot is. I created it and based mostly Zelda style. I just hope one day I will finally finish it and publish it. It's medieval fantasy, just the way I like the genres of stories to be.

[Tavoriel]

I am in the middle of a fantasy story as well as several fanfictions. When I write, I like to focus on characters and how they're all just random people trying to get through the day. WRITING = <3

[PiKn1ght314]

I love writing, and I've written several cheezy stories since I was little. Of seriously good ideas (or ones I just like :D) I've never really gotten down or did much with them because I have the habit of procrastinating and being lazy. I like writing about fantasy, science fiction, and just about anything else that stretches the human imagination. I have so many ideas, and sadly my work ethic is atrocious, but recently I found the National Novel Writing Month site in which during the entire month of November (30 days), you must write a 50,000 page book (of any kind, including fan fiction). I'm really determined to try it next year and watch my brain slowly melt as I try to create art in a significantly small amount of time.

[Jimmy]

Fascinating how many people have tried/are currently writing books on this forum. Obviously the Zelda playing populace are a very educated bunch indeed :D

[theothernavi]

Probably fantasy, or a murder mystery. Maybe a Percy Jackson sort of thing.

[monkeefun]

I'm more apt to write little vignettes. I LOVE to write, but I've never written anything really substantial. I have several lengthy things going, but not anywhere near done. Some sort of scene will come to me, and I'll write it. There's no definite or cohesive plot, and none of it is put together in any order. Somewhere in my mind they are, but they have yet to come together. Someday I'll write a book though. I'm sure of that.

[Elvenknight]

I have difficulty writing conflict, but it has nothing to do with my main charactor. I've written a story where my main charactor got badly hurt (due to a crash landing). My main trouble is the war aspect of it. I try very hard but I can't do it.

I write Sci-fi/adventure stories. I'm working on a book now, but it's coming along slowly.

[Awkward Turtle]

It would be about stuff. (Im writing a book and I don't want to give it away).

[monkeefun]

So your location refers also to your book? Interesting ;). Can't blame you. Although I'm not so concerned about anyone knowing what's in my head so much as getting it out coherent. I'm one of those lovely people who KNOWS what's going on in their head, but cannot verbalize it appropriately. Drives me nuts.

[pokemonclub]

i would write a biography of Rajon Rondo!!!! yes, i am weird!

[Zelway]

First, My book would be fiction.

Second, It would definitely be about Magic and Wizards and stuff like that.

very similar to Harry Potter

[fredthehylian]

That's a toughie. I'm very philosophical, so I'd probably write a book on a philosophy of mine (assuming no one else has come up with a philosophy called "neutralizationism") or I'd write a medieval/steampunk adventure. Medieval/steampunk is a genre like Final Fantasy VI; people still use castles, swords, spears, and bows, and they still ride animals for long-distance transportation, and armor is still necessary during battle. However, slightly advanced technology is available; for exmaples, people may use primitive trains, primitive firearms, early blimps or aircraft, and primitive submarines to name a few. It can make for some very interesting stories to tell.

[Raindrop14]

I'm in the middle of writing a fantasy/adventure book. After that I'm going to write book two to that one. Then I'm going to write two mystery books.

[LinkLover]

I am actually writing a book about shape-shifters at the moment. Later I am going to write a Zelda book, branching off of TP. I loved the game, so I will change the plot a bit and have an adventure book. I am also in the process of writing a book of poems. I have loved writing ever since I was little, so I might as well put my thoughts down on paper!

[LolGames4U]

I've always been a writer, and I've been writing some scripts for games. I'm working on a game about mermaids and I really really REALLY want to write a fan fic!

[GanonSlayr]

Ok, now I'm already writing a short story from the perspective of a tree, it sounds stupid but I'm taking a philisophical approach on it, and have started to write one on the relationship between a boy and his ex rockstar great grandfather, which takes place in 2119
