Great ideas that, in retrospect, aren't
Kali:
Didja ever do this?
So, I woke up after a dream and thought, "Wow. What an interesting basis for a story." I was so intrigued by the idea, I emailed a friend.
"Three words:" I wrote. "Post-apocalyptic. Werewolf. Porn."
I was advised to up my dosages. Ok, so Laurell K. pretty much has cornered the werewolf porn market. There's room for more, right? Am I right? Right?!
LizW65:
Well, there's my "Twin Peaks meets The Graduate and Bruce Campbell is along for the ride" idea. I've currently cannibalized parts of it for other projects.
Starbeam:
If you write it well, and it has a good story to it, then yeah, you could totally do it. And who knows, it could be big. I'm not up on all the paranormal romance trends.
Nickeris86:
Well written supernatural porn is always desired by somebody. Not me though >.>
But in all honesty I use to really liked the Anita Blake books until they became porn. I'm fine with some sex in a novel but it shouldn't overshadow the plot, or be the central theme unless you are actually writing a smut novel.
As for bad ideas that seemed great at the time, i have a whole file full of them. Its titled Documents lol.
Electric MacButters:
Mine? A superhero team composed of people too gung-ho or too powerful to be left unsupervised. It became WAY too emo WAY to fast.
