Short Story Ideas

Who are you and what are you doing here?

I recently got the urge to start writing more. I'm not a particullary good writer, but I do like to write or in this case type. Due to this urge, I felt like starting my own blog. I will write blogs about video games, technology, and short stories. This blog is meant to be purely casual and to be fun. I need the writing practice, but I don't mean to be too serious.

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas...

One day when I was bored I had a crazy train of thought. Through this train I ended up at a station that had an intersting character waiting for me. A Banana with super powers aquired from radioactive waste. I have the entire plot lined out for the creation of this super banana; however, I have no clue what to do with him after he gains his super powers. These would be short stories that are kinda like episodes in a TV show. They can be completely irrelivant from each other, or I can get all fancy and throw in some story archs that last awhile.

So things I would greatly appreciate are:

  • What super powers should he have?

  • What adventures should he go on?

  • If he has a nemisis, what fruit or vegetable should it be?

  • What should I name this Super Banana?

  • What should I name the Nemisis?

Thanks a bunch in advance! When I get around to writing I'll definitely post it somewhere here on Snapzu.

    You should just come out of left field with the complete opposite of what you'd expect a superhero banana to get up to.

    Super Banana travels the world and solves human trafficking cases, tracks down malicious serial killers, free's children from African warlords who are trying to turn them into child soldiers. He isn't afraid to kill. His powers are to inject his victims worst nightmares into their mind, driving them insane in seconds. He can also drain his victims life source until they die, granting him amazing strength and the ability to fly.

    His nemesis is an inanimate coconut that is often spotted at the malicious crime scenes, but Super Banana can never manage to catch up to him. The coconut has no spoken lines and is never seen to actually move. It's just there one second and gone the next. Usually accompanied by an immense sense of dread that is felt by Super Banana.

    Coconuts name is Phillip.

    Or you could go for something normal, I don't know.

    Edit: Just a side note, what blog site you planning to use? I'm interested in starting my own.

      That is definitely out of left field haha! Though I do find it hilarious and I may just have to go a route like that. It's definitely giving me some good ideas though!

      I definitely like the idea of having a coconut just appear randomly at different scenes and never knowing who this coconut is and what he's doing.

      Honestly, I was just going to use Wordpress just because it's simple, easy to use, and I like the UI. I don't know that many other blogging sites, so I just went with the best one that I know of.
