Post by Fascination »

Hey, I'm new here and need some fanfic ideas. Gundam Wing's my fav and if i happen to have any ideas on what i could do that would be greatly appreciated. Preferably no explicit fight scenes and I don't mind writing lemon (i love it) but I"m not really good at it. So, i hope someone responds cuz that would be greatly appreciated.
hugz and kisses,
luv,
xoxo

Hello! And welcome! :)

If you're stuck for ideas, may I suggest a go at the New Years' challenge? It's a short one, 600-800 words, and the requirement is Heero and Relena kissing for New Years. It doesn't have to be AT midnight, though.

It might be a way to get you writing. I've found that once I started, the ideas just kinda found me. They'd occur in the midst of reading someone else's fic..... A glossed over detail that caught my eye and made me go "What if...", and suddenly I had an idea.

Or randomly driving down the street, listening to music in the car. A stanza, a phrase, an emotion.

Fight scenes are an acquired thing. I'm not very good at them myself. Start small and work your way up. Have someone throw a punch and someone else dodge. Don't think too hard about the actual writing of it, or you'll psych yourself out.

But try the New Years challenge, it's a good warmup. If you're still stuck, we'll be opening a writers' workshop once the database move is complete, and we'll have some writing exercises in there to try as well. :)

Good luck!

Love,
Rose

Here's what I do....

It may not help, but here's what I do, or used to, anyway. Go and look at all the episodes, and find a scene that could use some improvement, or just is a little nebulous. Start on those ideas, and they're bound to lead you to others. You can also take stuff from other shows...shhhhhh.... :wink:
Like, if you like the way so and so did something, write it in the perspective of the GW characters. I mean, it can be ANY show. It could be Will and Grace, for al I know...but that would be hard to do....Anywho, I hope that helps you. It helped me when I first started writing.
