( original content / general fiction ) so i have a project in my head that i might... possibly be interested in getting some help writing, if anyone's interested
so i'm good at worldbuilding and character creation and collaborative writing, but when it comes to actually planning out an original plot for a story i suck at doing that alone
it's basically a sort of like. modern fantasy story about couriers, mail people, who travel between different worlds / realities to deliver packages — with the loosest definition of the word package
it would have horror, sci-fi, and comedy elements. sort of like hitchikers guide to the galaxy, but instead of aliens outright it would be like... picking up a delivery from the creepy mannequin level of the Backrooms
another would be the Library — their whole deal being information. they want to collect and store information on these worlds and dimensions. they're made up of like. knowledge hoarding nerds and hackers and shit
so you've got your guards, charged with protecting folks in particularly dangerous worlds, and guides would be like psychics or mediums who are good with attuning to those worlds and navigating them
and then a few like. 'freelance' characters that aren't associated with any faction but who do specialized things that are useful in this extra-dimensional world, like
but in terms of actual story, i only had the most basic bitch idea of it being centered around this initially average ass girl who like. winds up getting recruited to work for the post office in a manner a lot like
by total accident, because of a weird binding abstract multiverse law thing, so she's forced to figure out this whole world and navigate it until she completes the delivery
we've spoken about this before a bit and idk what help I could provide necessarily but I'm always willing to soundboard and shoot ideas around or whatever.
getting a small team together to brainstorm an overarching for a "Season", then outlining a list of the main story beats, and then having like. 1-3 people who are invested in a particular character/faction/scene working together to write that part out
if it goes the novel route, just having a couple people to sit down and chat about an overarching plot and helping me break it into highlight scenes to get there
i've also written a single first chapter which i don't like very much at all but that might help cement the concept a little here that i'm probably just going to scrap entirely
the disco link keeps failing to work for me /kicks it
