Thanks Now, I don't want to

Thanks Eye

Now, I don't want to be like "Want me to write a story for you?" and get 1000+ requests, but I do want to write more stories that involve other people's deer. The idea I have is if I find inspiration for a story, I could give a brief synopsis and ask if there's anyone who'd want the story to be about their deer.

I think I'm going to do it that way. Banished is already being written for someone specific (just haven't said who yet), but later stories I'll say that I need someone's deer for the story.

Also if you were curious, my inspiration varies - The Flood and Night Terrors were part of a challenge where you write a story based off an artwork, so that's how I decided on those. The rest of mine are usually inspired by a dream (such as Care to walk with me?) or often music. Banished was inspired by The Islander by Nightwish

Sounds good! I think it's a

Sounds good! I think it's a good idea to give people a little look into what you're working on. I for one also love hearing the inspiration behind a story, so thanks for sharing those as well.

I'm thinking about having a

I'm thinking about having a little bit of a reader-controlled story go on with Banished. What would you guys think if you got to vote on what happened next to Caw? I have three or four things that need to happen in the story, but they can happen in any order, and I'd make sure the options would be vague enough that it wouldn't spoil the storyline but would be intriguing enough for votes. Let me know what you think! Eye

I had an idea for another

I had an idea for another story, but I don't know how I would tie it in to being about someone's deer. The only idea I had was maybe it would need to be someone who is depressed, and the Twin Gods give put them in a dream where they live out a part of the life of a deer who lived near humans. The idea I had was that the deer in the dream gets injured, and there are scientists/engineers who try to help save them by giving them cybernetic limbs. It would be similar to the movie 'It's A Wonderful Life'

It's kind of similar to an old story of mine about a human marine who gets turned into a cyborg, but I wanted to write a little story about a cyborg deer. (It's combining two of my favorite things - cyborgs and deer Eye ). Would anyone know someone who would have a depressed deer who I could write this story for?
