RUNT: "Wish I had worms right now, Delta 147 is so hungry. Feels like I haven't eaten in ten whole days!"

JASON: "147, did you say worms?"

RUNT: "Yes I did, Boss-man. Worms are the num nums. Better than algea. Way better."

JASON: "147....first off....gross. I didn't know what pygmy trolls ate, but now I do and I wish I didn't. Second, I am sure if you look under some rocks, you will find some worms."

RUNT: "But Boss-man, those are just regular worms, not nearly as nummy as Megacorps canned worms! All the ads say so. I bet they taste ick."

JASON: "147, I am sure all worms taste equally disgusting."

RUNT: "Distusting?"

JASON: "...I am sure worms found under a rock will taste just as good as any worms that megacorp can sell you. Just try them."

RUNT: "I will try them, Boss-man, and Delta 147 will show you that no worms are as good as Megacorps canned worms!"

JASON: ....

RUNT: {Slurp}

JASON: "Well?"

RUNT: "...Ads are wrong, these is way nummier than canned worms! Why would anyone think canned worms is better than these!?"

Lmao

_pingme

@Book, OK, I will ping you at the start of the next 3 sprints.

i want to write a story, i got a good idea for one

<:DewIt:801849039258648606>

My idea is a dystopian futuristic Society where a common technology that every person has is a Shields that can stop any projectile moving above a certain speed meaning guns and lasers are useless. It would take place 50 years in the future and the main character would be in ex-military civilian who was falsely accused of a crime and the corrupt police would try to kill him and he would kill them in self-defense and it would be viewed as a Act of revolution and start an event that overthrows the government

So everyone would be using knives and swords and stuff.

good idea?

...If you have to ask...

Blunt honesty? Needs some work

Get yourself a Notebook, start writing ideas in it and then start asking questions

Ask yourself about everything in that world, and start using those answers to come up with more questions

If everything flows rather fluidly, you’re onto something

super bluntly, its kinda cliche, you'll have to get creative for it to work.

i was busy. Here's my expanded answer. Only you can decide if a story is worth pursuing. I'd go so far as to say barring really nasty stuff that no one should write, there are no bad story ideas. If that's the framework that speaks to you, get into it, flesh it out, give it your own unique spin.

There is no one, right way to write, or type of story.

unique spin, very much yes, that is what I'd do.

I've actually thought of many ideas and how the story would play out, the most violent criminals would be sent to a gladiatorial arena to battle to the death and people could pay to rig the fight giving one person better weapons, the winner if not mortally wounded, could have their sentence renegotiated, different weapons and factions. guns wouldn't be completely useless because they could activate the shield and it would become a stationary solid object and be near unbreakable but they cannot move temporarily for like half a second so some skilled people could use a knife and gun to stun and execute people and other things like that.

mercenaries working for the government, exosuits to enhance strength and utilize large/heavy weapons more effectively but limiting mobility. a lone bounty hunter with a unique energy whip that can disable or make weakpoints in shields, and a revolver to shoot through the damaged parts of the shield.

I've explained more of my ideas to a few people and they like it.

Sounds interesting. Do it up.

the government wouldn't be all controlling, just ruthless and evil. crime would be everywhere. less 1984 and more robocop or judge dredd

ok, thanks

i have many ideas of the world/story, just need to work on specifics like character names and stuff like that.

I have a quick question

I'm writing down the script for my new video and so far, I really like it.
