Help A Writer Out - Blog Posts

Anyone out there that’s interested in a zombie apocalypse original story—PLEASE help me. I’m out of ideas for the plot. Give me headcanons, stuff that you think would be interesting to put in a story, OCs, anything. I am desperate. I’m open to anything at all.

Here are the main characters, if you wanna give them hcs:

- Myles Anderson

- Lilith Anderson (yes, they’re twins)

- Cassandra Evans

- Jaime Rodriguez

Vander Fic

So I’ve got two fics in mind. Both Vander X Fem OC.

But only problem is I don’t know which one to focus on more. Both these fics take place pre Arcane and during the events.

My first OC is a Zaunite born and bred. Her name is Amaya, has olive skin, pure white hair and golden eyes. Her story focuses on her life in the Undercity and how she joins Vander and Silco on the uprising of the Zaun. There’s also a little dabble of a love triangle in there but Vander is always endgame. The thing is though when this story hits Arcane events some chapters are taken over by another OC. A new child character that Amaya “specifically” adopts, like Vi and Vander or Jinx and Silco. I’ve also already got to two endings in mind. A sad one and a more fix-it-fic one. (It fricken hurts trying to choose which one ‘cause I love both Amaya and Vander so much already).

Also some things happen later in the story thanks to said child character OC and his chapters, which makes them so necessary to the story, but I can understand why people wouldn’t want to read that incase they’re just there for the Vander content.

My other OC for the other fic is a Pilty. Her name is Maeve Thorne. She has burgundy red hair, fair skin, and jade eyes. Like the first story, it focuses on their youth and how they try to find themselves in the world. Of course you have the obvious barrier of them being from opposite sides of the bridge causing drama and that they come from two different worlds. This one I’m struggling with the storyline more. Particularly down the road in S2.

The first chapter of Maeve’s fic is more thorough and well written but I hold Amaya close to my heart because she was who I created first.

I don’t know, I guess I’m a little stuck. There’s just so little Vander content out there that I wanted to throw my hat in the ring and give it a go. Which story would you feel like reading more?

So it’s been a while…

I know it’s been months since I last seriously posted anything on here, especially about the rewrite I’d been so focused on. Truthfully, I hit a massive dry spell almost as soon as I started college. So much has changed, you wouldn’t believe it.

Anyway, now that it’s summer, I’d like to get back into writing but I need to get the inspiration flowing. So I thought maybe I can have a list of characters that are/will be important in the rewrite and you guys can request a small scene/blurb (if that’s what you call it?) with them. You could request a specific situation but no guarantees made.

For example, you can say: “Can you do something with A and B?” or “Can you write a bit about C and D in the empty common room?” and I’ll come up with something from there. I feel like it’d allow you guys to learn about these characters as they’ll be in the rewrite. So, win-win.

Here’s the list:

Remus Lupin

Sirius Black

James Potter

Peter Pettigrew

Lily Evans

Severus Snape

Maura Grant (white, OC)

Saida Burki (muslim, OC)

Zaneerah Beshara (muslim, OC)

Dorcas Meadowes

Marlene McKinnon

Mary Macdonald

Alice Fortescue

Pandora Malfoy

Regulus Black

The Black Family

The Lupin Family

The Pettigrew Family

The Potter Family

*Not everything I write as a response to your asks will appear in the actual story, it’s just a bit of fun for now.

*You can also choose which POV it’s written from.

Thank you! Hope everyone is doing well!
