Story Ideas 30

I've got three new story ideas bouncing in my head. Both Dorm Party and Tutor Me are getting close to the end, and I'm working on what to replace them with. Along with some of the older Story Ideas I've posted, these are the new ideas I've come up with.

1. Back to the Beginning - Aged up sixth year. While Harry is exploring the Room of Requirement, he discovers and accidentally breaks a Time-Turner, sending him back to the time of the Founders. Nothing is like what he expected. Gryffindor is a loud, obnoxious ass. Ravenclaw is cold and calculating. Hufflepuff is kind, but runs a school brothel. And Harry finds a friend and mentor in Salazar Slytherin?

I've mentioned Ravenclaws Coven in Dorm Party, and I thought of this as an opportunity to explore the origins of that. Harry, as a mysterious figure from the future, is of a lot of interest to the founders and the students. Ravenclaw wants him to help produce powerful children that will benefit the magical world for generations to come. Hufflepuff sees him as a broken soul she needs to heal through love. Gryffindor's daughters are fascinated by his tales of heroism. And the Slytherin witches see him as the future of their world, and want to solidify a connection with him.

Can Harry find a way back home before he changes too much?

2. Last Wizard Standing - On October 31st, 1981, Voldemort didn't attack the Potters. Instead, a magical illness swept through Magical Britain. In a matters of weeks, every wizard is dead. All except one, Harry Potter. With Britain in chaos, no known cause, and the country quarantined by the ICW, Lily and McGonagall decide to hide Harry away. For years, he grows up in secret at Hogwarts, only coming out to explore during the Summers.  After years of failed research, boys born from Muggles ending up as Squibs, and a dwindling population, a decision is made. At 17, it's up to Harry to repopulate Magical Britain.

3. An Unlikely Union - When they get paired together in Charms in 6th year, Harry and Daphne both have misconceptions about the other. Over time, they find out that they have a lot more in common than they expected. While Daphne has no interest getting involved in the war, she finds herself inexorably drawn to the enigmatic young man. This story doesn't follow the war, but the relationship of two lovers trying to stay together despite a world trying to tear them apart.

More of a romance with smut.

Those are my ideas, let me know what you think in the comments! 

And once again, Patreon didn't use the setting I put in. Normally, these posts are for the higher tiers. This has happened a couple of times now, and I don't know why. Still, it would be a dick move to remove it now. Consider this a freebie.

DNAjester

Back to the beginning sounds the most interesting for me but the third prompt, while maybe a tiny bit generic, has tons of potential for a great story.

Aidan Frazier

Back to the beginning sounds the most interesting to me

Tenirin

I'd be fine with any of them, but 2 seems like the most novel (and therefore interesting). Assuming that Option 3 is centered around the pairing, then there is nothing that hasn't been done here. So for me the interest of this option is what you'd do with it. Given that I trust your writing skill, I'd be down for this, but it's not super interesting by itself. Option 1 has a ton of room to play with which is good, but its a double edged sword. I'd hate to see this advance a ton and then get blocked by trying to resolve how to wrap it up. Option 2, while seemingly a bit wild, is less tread ground and generally seems a bit easier in terms of story construction (ie. the story ends after we figure out why all the other wizards died out and resolve any remaining threads). I feel we'd get a good story out of this.

zamu

Back to the beginning sounds the most interesting, especially with how you’ve been writing recently

DyslexicdraB

Number 1

HugoH

3

Alex

Out of all of them one sounds like it would warrant the most creativity mixed in with a healthy portion of smut. I would vote for that one.

Spacealien

I vote three.

cjmd3419

i vote one and three cuz yes and we always need more daphne in this fandom

ChaoticLiz

Le numéro 1 est prometteur

Bouttefeux Pierre-yves

Number 1 is interesting and you'd have a lot of freedom with the writing, but I'm really interested in seeing how you'd pull off number 2, some have tried and fallen flat and others have gone with more porn than plot, I'd be curious to see howd you'd bridge the gap.

TheFrenziedWolf

Number one sounds like it give you the most creative writing freedom which means quicker updates for us lol number three sounds interesting because I like that pairing, and honestly I have no interest in number two

J.Rogue

I like option 2

rawalucard

I honestly like all three, but one and two are my favorites.

Shocklance

I do enjoy 2 if only to see what Voldemort would do if he survived the plague

Soundwave8421

Number two please!!! We need it!

TypistTyphon

3 sounds great

dadoo

I love both 2 and 3. 1 seems a little boring tbh.

Matthew Weber

I'll vote for 1 becomes it sounds like the most fun, while 3 sounds good i am tired of reading about that pairing.

That Warden

In my opinion, it will be 2,3,1

Alatoic

Definitely 3 and definitely NOT 1.

BomeranG

Jeromey Johnson

I suppose I’ll be the vote for #2

Agitated Spoon

My vote is for number 1

Chris Duncan

#1 please, although I certainly would like to see how you would spin #2. (I've seen a very similar idea done by another author on ff.n and it was kind of difficult to read, for me at least, past the first couple of chapters, but I have confidence that you can do it better.)

President Drenton

Voting #3

Jonathan Hillersborg

I vote for #3, I find myself greatly enjoying your more plot driven stories.

Michael Guidebeck

Still looking forward to your rewrite of “The Surrogate”. That has my vote over these.

Sidraef

Definitely think 1 and 3 are the most interesting

Goodkat2010

I like the idea with the founders. But one of my favorites ships is Harry and Daphne. My votes for #3

Aeron Danaher

I like 3

Jonathan King

Number 1 sounds the most interesting

Asmodeus24601

1 and 3 sound interesting

Ed i guess

3 would be amazing to read!

DragonsAndBroomsticks

Love to see #2. Would be cool to see how you can make it original.

cfp33pfc

I would love to see number 1 I think you could make it a very interesting story

Shane

Would love to see 3!

Leon Obrenov

Personally I like number two and number 3 though for different reasons obviously

habsrule44

3's the most interesting one for me, I like Harry/Daphne and enjoy a good romance. 1 could be interesting, but for some reason smut with a fandom character and a bunch of OCs tends to be more miss than hit for me. Pass on 2, I've never been a fan of that particular type of premise.

twilightwanderer

Number 2

Adam Ouellette

Go with 1. Number 2. has a few different stories with this premise, but very little actual plot. Even your mostly smut stories have more plot than those. And 3. Is just another "Daphne is the only Slytherin worth anything story."

Wyatt131

Go with 1. Number 2 has a few versions out already and number 3 sounds as interesting as any other "Dramatic Daphne" fic.

Teraseneste

Number 2. I don’t think you wrote one where lily is alive as his actual mother.

faseastasiascasch

The Coven and 2

Homicidalbunnny

1 and 2 look good. 3 just looks like another Daphne fic, not a whole lot to that other than what's been done a hundred times before. 1 at least would be something different with a timeline that's only rarely ever explored. 2 being the general smutfic with Harry having to repopulate the country. So over all the only one that shows real promise for a new story is 1.

Kasikan

Rotate them as you get inspiration? They all sound fun.

A Good Hunter

1 or 3; something about 2 just seems off.

Nova Sana

Definitely a huge Haphne fan so option three easily takes it for me, and I personally really prefer and enjoy most your stories that focus more on individual characters and their relationships more than an ensemble cast. I don't think two is that interesting but one has some merits even if there are likely only a few characters that seem interesting to connect with. There's definitely a lack of familiar ground that might make it feel strange but could be a place for you to explore a much different environment.

Morrigan Newhart

1

Andr

They all sound great but I'm more interested in 1

David

3. An Unlikely Union

WhiteNight

2 please

Nillcox

Last wizard and an unlikely union sound really interesting

V_Arko

2

Jeremy C

3 please

Joseph Taylor

I agree that option 2 is (to me) one that has been overused, and while I know that about 99% of all bi/straight teenage boys would think themselves the luckiest person ever to not only have the option, but be encouraged to sleep with every available female, it would be far to Machiavelian for Lily to allow her son to be used that way, especially as she was able to fall in love with James. This particular scenario has never sat right with me

Sapph89

1 and 3 make the most sense to me. I’m not really sure I like the idea of number 2. I wish I could pinpoint why but I just don’t know.

S-267

Gotta be 1. 2 and 3 are both overdone, there is a lot of very good fics about Daphne and the only wizard per 1000s witches crops up really often as well, although quality can be lacking. Harry in founders era is a much rarer find, and if you want that with romance and/or smut god help you.

Lurker

2 please

Markus Hertle

2 please

Markus Hertle

1 definitely

Lonewolf33

3 sounds good

Ryan Gates

3 for sure, Harry/Daphne stories are always good

HowlerAtTheMoon

I would love to see option 1 written. I think this would be a perfect opportunity to stretch your writing skills.

Sapph89

There are alot of haphne fic but one you could have a alot of fun with

John7799

2

Gintoki Sakata

1 and 3

yan boul

Both two and three have been done before, but I have never read anything like Number One before. Would love to see it written

SiriusProblem55

I am not really a fan of Daphne since she is pretty much an OC with predetermined name and blood status. I prefer full OC over the Daphne template. Stories like option 2 tend to bore me very quickly. Option one sounds interesting and kind of original.

Kurozake

Number 3 is my vote. Daphne can be an infinitely interesting character, handled right.

Jean-Luc Charitat

I couldn't do it with canon because of copyright, and I'm not sure how to make it interesting with one of my stories.

Professor Quill

I feel like something like 2 has been done too much, I vote 1. I'd vote 3 over 2 as well.

Salvage48

No. 1 sounds like a clear winner and gets my vote; even if I didn't like the idea and wasn't intrigued by the world of the past as you described it, which I actually do and am, its simple quality of being novel separates it from the vast sea of HP fiction/Smut and makes it more appealing to see. No. 3 would be my second choice, purely because of my belief in your ability to make it a good story. It has been done, but when done right, it's enjoyable. Beside its lack of novelty, the idea also loses because of the time investment needed to make the story believable before anything spicy or romantic happens. No. 1 is different, for depending on how you write it, and due to the intrigue surrounding the time traveler and the difference of the world in the past as you described it, Harry could stumble into something almost immediately. No. 2 is a clear loser for me. That type of story has been done. It's never good. It never makes sense. Not even in a porn universe.

Asas

I would vote for 1 and 3

Jeff

Also also, ever since MVP Suzette I am always eager to see more OCs.

Zitronen tee

Number one sounds like a blast. Also, it offers the most freedom to try out new ideas.

Zitronen tee

For me I like 1 too as it sounds cool. But have you ever thought about doing a story were the character read the books. The story can be that the characters are pulled into a room it can be the room of requirements and have them read a book. the book could be one of your own that you written or just have them read the actual books but with smut and Harry being paired and having a harem of all of the girls we love. It actually be fun if you did a story with the characters reading the books and then another story with the characters reading one of your stories. Anyways went off topic and yea my vote is for #1

Darth Reven

1

Caimbeul

Id enjoy 1) back to the begining so hope you do that one not many authors write harry with the founders so think it would be great if you did

Jamie Celtic

Personally not huge on OCs, so 1 isn't for me too much but 2 and 3 sound great.

Jesse

Number 3 please

TheWickedTruth

I’d love to see number 3. I’ve been on a HP/DG kick lately and like the setting of 6th year for a story.

Dylan Dworsky

Still going, I just take little breaks from stories sometimes when I get fatigued.

Professor Quill

One is seems like a goldmine for ocs and Harry could get resorted and turned of slytherin hated muggles not muggleborns?

John7799

Maybe have your first idea labeled as Dorm Party, Part 2- Back to the Beginning.

Darrell P. Bell

Liking the idea of #1. Btw what happened to 'A Friend in Need'? Is it still continuing?

JazzonicAsian17

1 and 3.

suspiciouscoffee

3 would definitely be my choice.

LaserFox

Would love to see number 3 written. Apart from me really lining the pairing, the idea has so much potential for a great story.

Dreesare

I am personally a sucker for H/Hr pair, but 1 and 3 seems like the best stories. 1 first, and 3 second.

Hooshu

I agree with Lance 1 and 3 sound awesome.

Ryan

I love ideas 1 and 3

lance

As much as I love a good Daphne romance, I admit I'm a bit oversaturated on that one in the fandom right now. One and two sound like an absolute blast!

Erinnyes

I'm always a sucker for Haphne.
