I’m returning after an absence to find myself largely out of threads again. I’m a male seeking a woman and I generally enjoy stories with sci-fi or fantasy settings, but as long as the story is good I’m flexible. In the past I have mainly written from a dominant perspective, but I do have submissive streak. Power games of that nature do not have to be a part of our thread if desired. I post two to three paragraphs and sometimes more and would expect the same out of whoever I write with. Here are a couple ideas that I was able to put down on the page, but any ideas are welcome.
Digital Passion
I know I’m pulling on old material, but I was thinking about a thread based on the Matrix. I get that the sequals got a little away from things, but the setting has always intrigued me. How real could a relationship between a program and a human be? Or could a person released from the Matrix fall in love with someone still plugged in? I think it would be set in an altered aftermath of the third movie. The matrix has been recreated and an uneasy truce exists between the Machines and Zion.
Dark Mark
This one could be either fantasy or modern with a twist of the former. The basic story surrounds a young man that has gone down the wrong path in life. He spent his life on the streets and does what he must to get by. By chance he and his friends discover a strange cave beneath the city which has carvings etched into the walls. Perhaps on a whim the young man decides to get a tattoo of a symbol he found down there. That’s when things go wrong. The cave was once long ago a shrine to a mad god to which my character now finds himself connected. He struggles with a creeping madness and powers beyond his understanding. Will someone be his salvation or will he simply drag them down into the darkness with him?
Shadows Within
This would be about a strong female practitioner of magic. Call her a witch or sorceress or whatever you like. The story would focus upon a recent victory of hers. She banished a sinister evil presence that had been haunting an ancient temple so it could be used again. However, the evil was stronger than she realized and was not so easily dispensed. The demon begins entering her dreams and trying to entice her into summoning him back into the world.
Shadowrun
I don’t have a story here yet, but I would really love to do a story in the Shadowrun setting or just cyberpunk in general.
