Hey everyone. Listen, while driving in the car and staring at the snow, this brilliant story idea shot through my head. I was at a stoplight, and looked out the window towards the stores. I had this image of this man walking closer and closer with a knife in his, staring at me (this was an idea, not an hallucination). And then, as he almost gets to the window, the light turns green and we drive away, and when I turn around and look, he's not there.

This gave me this whole story idea about a girl who has terrifying dreams of a man coming after her over and over again. Everytime he touches her in her dreams, she wakes up with bruises on her arms. Eventually, she starts seeing him in real life and feels like its more than a hallucination. It eventually gets so terrible that she will completely escape reality and imagine herself somewhere totally different than she is right then, being chased by the man. Her parents and friends believe she has schizophrenia, a mental/hallucination disorder. The girl knows it something much more. People urge her to attend a mental institution for her "disorder" but she refuses and without knowing, without even realizing, beats anyone who suggests that.

Do you guys like this idea? There is more to it, and it just came to me today.

'without even realizing, beats anyone who suggests that.'
 
Oooh,does she liek,develops a second personality?|D
 reminds me of the movie 'black widow' or something along those lines. of course,only if you meant that part literally.
 
If written well,this could actually get quite epic~
 
and lol,i think you have the same problem as i do. I always ramble on to my friends when explaining a story idea of my own,but i end up just basically telling a summary of the whole  thing, rather than just the plot of it.
Unless of course,what you just wrote is only the beginning *creepy jazz hand wriggle thingy*

haha thanks. She is kind of insane, like sorta mental (but does not have that disease... or does she ;D) And yes, I am a rambler.... but I've learned to accept it. I also got an idea of in her dreams, when she is seeing him, there is this wall that seperates them. But eventually, he p*censored*es through the wall and that is when she sees him in reality. The wall represents reality, or the real world, which was keeping her safe, until he fights his way out of her imagination and into her life.

ughhh! But I am also writing another story so I'm not sure what to do!!!! I think maybe I should start writing this story while its "hot", just so I can get the best out of it. And then if I dont like it, or finish, go back to the other story.

And lol, after i saw your comment, i went on youtube and typed in "Black Widow" Haha, i have wayy to much time on my hands :)

I quite like this. The idea of something coming from a nightmare is, indeed, a terrifying one. Even having something nice come from a dream would be kinda scary; it could probably be enough to drive you crazy.

xD Jazz hand wriggle thingy, huh Flash? ily, you nut.

Hurr. I looked it up too. Don't feel bad. x3

It sounds like a great idea for a story, for reasons already said.  :D  Before I poof, though, I must point out that you can write more than one story at a time.  *stares at countless Microsoft Wrod Documents*  Ahem.  xD  Anways, I do think that you should at least start on the story while it is "Hot."  <3

haha thanks. i couldnt think of a better adjective lol. And I did start it, but I am focussing more on my other story. Right now, I am taking a small break because I have been having a terrible writers block for a couple of weeks, and I am prepared to pull my hair out and throw my laptop out the window.... literally :) My writing lately hasn't been all that good but I am attempting anyway because I am way to stubborn to quit.

I like this story idea, to :) But I'm having trouble on how to start it. Anyone have any ideas? Should I start it out with one of her dreams?

I like it. It's very mysterious.

To start it, how are you writing? 1st or 3nd person? I hate 2nd person so....

I think 1st person would be better. Though, it depends on you.

You should open it by how you opened your idea.

GREAT STORY!!! :-)

Bump!

You could go all Prologe and do that as a dream.

Then as First Chapter, open with the car scene.

Thanks guys! I'm gonna write it in 2nd person cause it's gonna be a romance and I want it to revolve around the guy and the girl. plus, I think this story might flow more easily with 2nd person.

But don't worry, I will have 1rst person. Each character is going to have a journal that they write in everyday. This will help you connect with the characters more. This story is actually going to be a horror/romance/fantasy.

A romance?? ... I do like the idea (A lot), but I can't imagine it being romance. ^^

It should be more of a mystery type thing... Well, that's what I think ^.^

I really like it <33

Don't worry, it won't be a cheesy pure romance *mumbles "Twilight" into shirt*. And it will fit. I can't really explain it without giving the whole story away but...... just trust me :)

I've never liked horror stories. It's all this 'psycho' and scary stuff piled up and everything all seems random. Lots of the scary bits seem unrelated and there's no explanation for anything. So I'd like to know whether this is a mental disorder or not. If it is a mental disorder, why on earth does she have bruises after the creep touches her? And why the heck does she beat people?

I hate 1st person stories.




I (HATE)' YOU

Feel the love man D:<

Well, I'm not saying if she has a mental disorder. but you can get bruises from having that disorder. I read an article on a girl who had like images of getting into accidents and she would actually bleed and have cuts. Its so mentally real to you that your brain sends the pain down to your body, and then your body reacts to it. Hallucinations are really powerful things.

And you may hate horror stories and first person, but not everyone does. So I don't really care if you do or don't.

And it's called fiction. i don't like cheesy horror, like the Unborn or Friday the 13th, so its more of a mystery/fantasy with horror thrown into it. And I'm not writing it anyway, so....
