SPECIFIC STORY CONCEPTS
My New Roommate is a Kunoichi

Admittedly, this idea was inspired by scrolling through the Switch games on sale and stumbling upon a visual novel I had no idea existed. "That's silly," I thought to myself, only to be unable to get it out of my mind. So rather than spend money on a game that all my friends and family could see me playing (and would probably just further fuel a desire to make a customized story anyway), my mind began contemplating "Well... how would
I craft a story in this situation?"
And the answer is a combination of oddball comedy, lewdness and eroticism, and potentially romance. However, the option for actual action is there as well. I'd like to leave it a bit open to my partner's own ideas, but I'm generally thinking this female ninja was sent by her clan to spy upon a typical suburban town (could be US, could be anime-inspired Japan, don't care which) in search for a threat. That threat could simply be another ninja clan acting in the shadows, or it could be something like a ninja clan that hunts down vampires and other supernatural beasts. Optional background: she could be such a klutz of a ninja that she was sent to the town just to get her out of the village, only for her to stumble upon a real threat.
My character comes in because she's a bit unaware of what the modern real world is like, sticks out like a sore thumb, and needs both shelter and guidance. Perhaps she decides to try and seduce him, though her technique is a bit forced and obvious, or perhaps seduction is the one skill she's actually good at. Depends on how we want to play it.
Regardless, there's some freedom here, but the intention is something that'll have a bunch of "fish-out-of-water" style comedy mixed in with sexiness mixed in with lewd humor mixed in with action.
Supernatural Monster Punchers

Pardon the title, I know it's bad, but I really didn't know how to best summarize the idea. I've been wanting something a bit "Shounen Fighting" in style for a while, but it wasn't until recently playing Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ that I began to figure out how to stitch the idea together. By combining that Persona-style "modern day but an invisible reality" with the supernatural elements of Bleach and/or Sailor Moon, it sort of combined together. But Magical Guy and Gal doesn't convey it either. How do you combine Magical Girl and Shounen into a single word? If there is one, I don't know it.
Anyway, I admittedly thought to also include some of the Erosyta logic in there (where sex and sexual actions power magic, only here it would power up their supernatural abilities). This means everyone would either be a university student or a senior in high school that's 18+.
What I imagine is a town that has become a haven for unseen monsters, with one or two characters being sucked into it for their first time. I see two sides to the fight, with those seeking to vanquish the beasts and another side looking to absorb the creatures themselves. The two factions aren't necessarily at war, but I like the idea of there being a bit of a push-pull dynamic. I don't have much of it set in stone yet, but I feel like it's a story where you could bounce between the two factions, their politics, and development of the greater danger presented by the increase in these beasts as a whole. All while enjoying sexy times, of course.
Up top I have images representative of potential heroes seeking to vanquish these beasts, while the bottom are the more questionable sorts that may seek to take advantage (be it absorption as mentioned, or perhaps some other form of study).
I've also got art that could be used for supporting characters that aren't fighters. For example, the fighters that study the creatures? Got a pretty good scientist looking girl for that, and have plenty of male cops that could be roped in over their heads as well. So with the right partner, this could turn into a pretty fun and developed concept.
This could be a story in the
Grasp Hold the Stars setting, or simply an original one where there is potential for smutty happenings. This was in part inspired by a viewing of
Gunsmith Cats (uh, spoilers in that video, I suppose), an anime OVA featuring a pair of gun shop owners moonlighting as bounty hunters. The same light-hearted-but-high-stakes vibe is intended for this, and slipped into a sexy sci-fi setting. Each woman would have some sort of specialty, be it something like guns, demolition, melee combat, hacking, or simply business acumen (and no those aren't
all meant to be roles to be filled, I'd expect no more than three, no less than two, characters for this).
The women bounty hunters would be the central characters, with the male characters I write being more support. A male bounty hunter that has continually screwed the girls over, but one of the girls happens to enjoy screwing him so they get suckered over and over, much to the detriment of her partners. The first story would likely wrap with his attempt to screw them over again back-firing and actually needing to be saved. They'd likely be allied with an officer of the law, one willing to work with them when he knows his department can't be trusted. Such characters that could give them work, or help them with their more down-on-their-luck aspects of life.
No greater plot in mind, just some general episodic type of ideas.
Less-than-Epic Trapped in a Game World Scenario

The original request focused on a very specific idea, which I shall keep in the following quote box:
While this story could have multiple characters, the current plot starting point is built around my partner only having the one. At least, to begin with. A take on the "trapped in a game world" trope currently found left-and-right in anime, only stepping away from the over-powered characters seeking a way out. More a day-to-day in the life of the players just going through the motions while others figure out a way to escape the game. Perhaps some of the players are depressed they're stuck in it, perhaps others are excited to do nothing but play a game in a way they could only have dreamed of before.
My characters, however, are in a particularly troublesome situation. The token female member of their guild also had a habit of getting into some steamy roleplay with her male guild mates in their time playing as a regular game. Now that they're all sucked into the game and able to touch, feel, and smell one another's avatars in a seemingly physical space, their attraction to their female member is heightened... and it seems she's willing to expand her prior erotic roleplays into more lewd and personal interactions.
I imagine the goal of this story might be a bit difficult, as it could hit a bit too close to home for many. A setting in which the fellows all have some degree of crush on the same girl, the different feelings of jealousy, or perhaps even apathy. That knowledge that their avatars are not their true physical selves. What's on her mind, however? Is she a bit air-headed, just happy to have all the sexy fun she can? Does she enjoy the attention of all these guys, stringing them along so that they might worship her? Or perhaps she certainly likes fun, but finds the constant crushes troublesome.
Either way, the desire is to explore some of these emotions and feelings that are otherwise naturally untouched in most "trapped in a game world" stories.
Currently I'm looking for something a bit more light-hearted, but I still feel like implementing some of the ideas outlined above. The nature of who the player is in the real world and how that impacts who they are within the game world.
Alternatively, I have some ideas regarding characters joining guilds or under-going status effects. On one hand, a low-level, inexperienced female player that doesn't really understand games but decided to try playing with her boyfriend, who she ultimately dumped upon entering this new and strange world in which she's trapped (perhaps because he was unreliable, or was fooling around with other girls, or what have you). She instead joins a guild in order to try and get help learning the game, though perhaps she'll use her new status as a single gal to her advantage.
Another potential idea is a young female player that was inflicted with "Succubus Curse" before being sucked into the game. Originally a simple debuff that halved her stats when not in a party with a male character, she now suffers the same sort of hunger that the lusty demons might feel. She now seeks help in completing the in-game quest to dismiss the curse.
Or a whole other host of potential ideas. Really, there's a lot of possibilities with this sort of setting.
This is actually a pretty open-ended concept where I'm using
Faegrimm's post-apocalyptic "After the Fall" time period as a backdrop,
but could be shifted to some new original post-apocalyptic setting developed between us. Heck, it might be easier that way, truth told.
Regardless, the basic idea in mind is for a crew of adventurers seeking answers stumble upon your character, a lone explorer that has been exploring the world over and studying the old world and potential causes of the Fall. Perhaps our adventurers decide she'd be useful, or perhaps she's presumptuous enough to declare them her hired escort, enabling her to go to dangerous locations she'd be incapable of venturing towards on her own. Because this is one of
my stories, she'd also be pretty sexually open and active with the crew, and they'd be welcoming of her advances (and perhaps that of any other female crew aboard).
I suppose the original idea I had for this was somewhat inspired by the games Lost Planet 1 and 2, where the first game is an alien world covered in a global winter whereas the sequel saw it thawing over and revealing a more jungle-like environment beneath. Having played a bunch of Anthem lately, I'm feeling some inspiration growing from there as well.
The general premise would be a collection of "Seed" ships that land upon an alien world, the vessels themselves constructed to awaken its crew upon landing and transform into more of a walled city. Perhaps these vessels kept its crew asleep while the surroundings had begun to be terraformed, awakening its crew once the world was ready for habitation. Regardless, there are perhaps two or three vessels that have landed and transformed into walled cities, but communication with any other seed ship on other planets has been cut off. The story would focus on one colony, but perhaps there's a force of some sort that attacks one of the other cities and thus we have a character appear in the new colony to deliver news of some awful force. Alternatively, there's a possibility that one of the ships has uncovered some sort of alien artifact and is now looking to "conquer" the other ships.
Basically nothing solid yet, just some inspiration, and I wouldn't mind talking some possibilities through.
Grasp Hold the Stars: Galactic League of Fighters


So I had been holding out to continue the
story started between a partner and I, but she has recently been deverified. As such, I'd like to return to this concept again, but I'd largely have to go back to the drawing board in order to avoid writing the same story she and I were going to. I don't wish for someone to take her place, so while I will probably recycle one or two characters, I'd otherwise plan on changing the nature of the story otherwise.
The general idea is the same as outlined in
the setting thread. The fiftieth anniversary of the Galactic League of Fighters is set to take place on Dionysia IV, and Geoffrey Burns is the underdog hoping to make a name for himself in the tournament. I would be writing as several other characters, and ideally would like my partner to write several as well, with one being a social-media savvy journalist with a tendency to not only cover events and interview athletes, but is known to transmit her sexual escapades across the net as well. Ideally my partner would be able to write multiple characters for this setting, which has plenty of reading material to get a feel for it.
As stated, I'd like to try the idea once more, but I don't want to try and recreate the precise story. I don't expect a partner to take over the characters created by my previous partner, with the exception of their own interpretation of a sexually free and lusty journalist.
So this is a bit of a complicated one while also... not. So while our protagonists don't realize it at the start, they are trapped in a simulation. However, to them, they are all delinquents (aged 18-21) kept in a detention center. Depending on if we want to add some super-powered elements or not, they are periodically used by law enforcement to seek out, apprehend, and add other delinquents to the center. For the crimes of foul language, graffiti, breaking curfew, performance of illegal music genres, extreme expressions of sexuality and engagement in pre-marital sex, and more, they are all confined into this detention center for the purposes of rehabilitation.
Of which they all believe, and therefore safely rebel while in the confines of the center. Until one day there is an attack on the detention center, our main characters being recruited by another organization that reveals they are all inside of a simulation intended to pinpoint potential problem personalities and rehabilitate them through the simulation, with those whose resistance proves too strong being kept within it forever.
"Spoilers", I suppose, since a lot of those reveals are intended to be later, but is the basic idea of what I'm going for.
The Clean Cut Cyberpunk Rebellion

A different variant of the above. This is intended to be a "clean looking" near future Cyberpunk world, similar to the clean sterility of Mirror's Edge or Overwatch. One where society has flung back towards more conservative values. Much like Demolition Man, things like foul language is forbidden, entertainment is intended to be wholesome with family-focused messages, official music channels are clean, inoffensive tunes, and pre-marital sex is strictly forbidden. Technology would not be much too different from our own, just cranked up a few notches. Whole walls that are smart touch devices, a lack of physical media in favor of slim tablets and holo-panels (a flat, transparent screen that an image is projected onto), Virtual Reality a more prevalent product, and while almost all official locations are presented in a white sterility, underground locations are concrete and neon lighting. Due to the economy failing to fully recover, it is far less common to attend a College outside that of your local community. As such, many young adults continue to live at home, with very few capable of affording to live on their own.
The story would focus on a rebellious group of teens and their night life. Training into the city each night, they shuck the "proper" attire in order to don their "true gear", fashion that speaks to their individuality. They spray paint and graffiti back alleys and public monuments, as well as gather in underground arcades and skate parks -- often abandoned railways or community centers from the old days -- to commune with one another. Roller blades, skateboards, and neon spray paint are common. Sexual expression is now part of one's individuality, and most girls welcome gropes from strangers or friends. A complete rebellion to the values of the "old generation", these teens enjoy foreign imports of harsh and electronic music, violent video games, and sexy entertainment.
No real plot in mind yet, as that would come about with the characters created.
This idea is set to take place in the
Faegrimm setting, be it in the city itself or one of the established Hostess Clubs of Succubi in the greater human world. While there is an option for multiple characters for my partner to write (I'd never turn that down), it is more designed around my partner having one character to focus primarily on. In many ways, it is intended to be a sort of "day-in-the-life" of a succubus in this world. So while a portion of the story would certainly take place at her job and the activities she'd be expected to get up to, there's also just a focus on how she has to deal with her daily activities.
Unwanted gropes at the grocery store, being spotted by one of her clients at the laundromat and having to hide behind her magazine, having to hear the jealous snark of human (or other) women while clothes shopping, and perhaps even being harassed by overly zealous religious folk on the street (though I'd prefer avoiding getting too dark, truth told).
There's also the element of what the player would want this character to be like. Does she strive to be more than the sexual element of her species? Or has she fully accepted that aspect of herself? If this takes place outside of the city of Faegrimm, then how does she feel being separated from so many like her outside of the job? What are her non-work relationships like? So on and so forth. A sort of slice-of-life with a bit of fantasy and sexual excitement to spice things up.
Alternative Hostess Club/Kyabakura Concepts
So I played Final Fantasy VII Remake recently, which means seeing the Honey Bee Inn at the Wall Market again, and while I am not wholly sold on the new interpretation of it all, it certainly had me thinking of what sort of sleazy stories could be told in such a world. Given the nature of Midgar, there was naturally plenty of Cyberpunk thoughts floating through my mind, perhaps that could be worked into the Clean-Cut Cyberpunk Rebellion or an alternative realm. There's also the Pseudo-Kamurocho idea above that it could be applied to. Or Faegrimm, of course.
Regardless, a Hostess Club would be the central location from which multiple stories would cross together. Perhaps it's a favorite hang out of a local crime lord, or the girls are chosen via the crime lord much like they are with Don Corneo in Final Fantasy VII. What sort of customers stroll in, what treatment do the so-called "law enforcement" get, and so on.
I suppose this isn't really a specific idea, but this seemed like the best place to jot this idea down.
Name: The Witch's Brew
Content: Light-Human
Scenario: Double-double, toil and trouble as the town's local witch has run out of a surprise ingredient she wasn't even expecting to need this All Hallow's Eve. Eye of Newt? Plenty. Toenail of Skrat? Only a novice witch wouldn't have a jar full of those. Everything was laid out and prepared just as her trustworthy witch's tome had described... all but the final ingredient, poured into the concoction during the final minute of cooking: the seed of man.
Well. A witch could certainly be forgiven for not having plenty of
that in stock. It was only good fresh, after all, and these days it was getting more and more difficult to keep a healthy dispenser around the house for just such occasions. Not only did they whine and cry about having to get home to their wives or children or PlayStations or what have you, but these new-fangled cellphone gadgets were more instant and accurate than any location-based hexes the witches have ever devised. Made it awfully tricky to remain hidden, so such dispensers were left in the past. But now, well, now the witch was certainly in a pickle. With two or three hours of boiling required, she certainly had some time to go and seek a suitable volunteer. Plus, the foolish magic-less mortals would be celebrating a holiday they had no understanding of, and the typical witch's garb would fit in perfectly with the other women dressed scantily on this very night. The question is, can the witch find herself a suitable donor to give her the final ingredient?
Setting: Modern, suburbia
Other info: The tone is intended to be a light-hearted adventure with a dash of comedy. Perhaps the witch professes a derision towards modern life, but secretly finds things to enjoy, such as alcoholic mudslides and candy apples. It could be as simple as her seeking out one fellow to bring back to her home, or it could be a series of incidents where, so into the moment, she forgets to bottle up the seed and instead swallows or accepts it inside of her, only to realize too late that she wasted the precious ingredient.
This one could start a couple of ways, with either a bit of a slower build or a more direct and dirty one. I have a potential super-smut start with this, but I don't want to scare folks off yet so I'll be holding onto that idea. Regardless, yes, it is an amateur pornographer sort of story, but I don't want it to be smut-scene after smut-scene. In fact, the age of either core character, yours or mine, is not set in stone. While a favored set-up might be a College-aged woman with an older man in his 30's or 40's, I'd be open for the woman in question being in her 30's or 40's with a not-so-typical background. Or, it could even match the Faegrimm setting with a succubus or Elven character, just as the story above does. This one's pretty open, really.
Regardless, the core of it would be the discovery of your character being a cam-girl, or already experimenting with other men on the floor as partners, until she comes into a more regular partnership with my character. It could eventually become an atypical romance if it fits the personalities of the characters, or a business partnership. There could be risk of one of them getting fired from their job. Regardless, while they'd eventually start to experiment with public places and other such things, there'd be a focus on the non-sexual relationship. For reasons you can come up with, perhaps she's able to separate sex from personal feelings in ways he struggles with. Maybe she's never really felt love for someone before. Regardless, the two have a friendship and hang out, and I hope for them to have different perspectives on life so that their conversations can be somewhat philosophical with one another. Maybe they fall for each other at some point, maybe they don't.
So while the pornography is an element of the story and they will certainly be getting it on, I feel like the important element of the characters is in their non-sex interactions.
The Newly Appointed Dark Knight and His Succubus Companion

A more light-hearted variant of what occurs in
this writing sample of my profile. A young paladin is captured and imprisoned by a dark sorcerer/necromancer/lich. Bored one day, one of the evil spellcaster's succubi servants decides she's going to have a bit of fun with this chained up paladin despite his objections. The climax turns out to be more explosive than she'd expected, as suddenly his hair and garb turn dark and the ground begins to shake around them. With the denial of the Gods whom he served also comes their wrath, and the evil wizard's fortress comes crumbling down. The paladin manages to break free with the succubus, who is now free, but he now is left having to figure out who his new allegiance is owed to.
So he embarks on a journey of rediscovery of the self, agreeing to be accompanied by the succubus because... well, now that celibacy is pointless, why not? A comedic, light-hearted adventure where other characters can also join in... including, perhaps, a female warrior or rogue that had always wanted to jump his bone were it not for that blasted cock-block of a vow.
