This is a romance story between a hikkikomori and her sexy anime figurine who comes to life, where the hikkikomori – both spurred on and impeded by the figurine –needs to learn how to drive and clean her large, cluttered, and disgusting house. Because her hoarder aunt who had been (angrily) providing for her is on her deathbed, and she really needs a plan to be an independent adult.

Possibly another poor relative (with a toddler who gets into everything, thereby making the cleaning urgent?) arrives on the scene, causing the hikkimori some stress: "but you’re clearly angling for a slice of MY inheritance from a not-even-that-rich woman whom I don’t like very much and who doesn’t like me!“ (although there may be love there, and a lot of it.)

In her canon, the anime figurine (whom the…

This is an X-men-y romance story built around a torture/rescue kink. There’s a mutant academy, alien invasions in the background, etc.

The leads are two adults who had a crush on each other in their school years. This is mutant school, of course – the Gray Matter Institute. Leith is a reality manipulator whose full powers were not at all evident in youth. Nathan started off moderately powerful, but kept growing well after his peers topped out. Leith was bullied for dissenting from the school’s strongly insular pro-mutant culture; Nathan always thought Leith was in the right but was too afraid of social ostracism (again) to speak up.

The big conflict point is Branwen, a mutant girl whose powers are over pleasure and pain. She can “stock up” on pleasure by torturing people, and she does so…

Story seed I've been thinking about for years: Lesbian returns to her hometown and finds that her homophobic high school rapist has become not just a better person, but a pillar of the local LGBTQ community. A discovery that pries open, and greatly expands the scope of, her original wound.

Obviously this kicks off a psychological violent revenge quest, although I don't know how it plays out.

What do you do when your tormentor completely rehabilitates herself? Do you destroy her life? Or do you let her be? How could you let her be when she has everything you want – even in the social layer you thought you’d escaped to, away from her?

• Or do you reject this false dichotomy and take a nuanced middling approach, like blackmailing her* into degrading sex acts

The protagonist is named Katrina.…

Lesbian romance story. Its cores are: mild BDSM, fealty kink, and "what if you had to kill a bunch of people for utilitarianism". A catgirl spy owned by a monarch on a colony planet (Junasso) discovers he is about to start nuclear war. He hopes to be the last one standing. On his disarmed flagship are a hundred thousand people – about half of whom he intends to murder as the war starts. Unwilling to let them die, the catgirl – Sorossa – steals the ship with a friend and starts the 2 month jump to Earth. She is unable to restock on food, and not all of the people will make it. When the residents become aware of this, the ship becomes a warzone. From the pilot/admin compartment, Sorossa starts killing them to keep order.

Sorossa and her friend argue over the killings, and never come to…

A schlocky “bastard daughter returns to the magical world to take revenge on her father’s clan” story. Here's a juicy intro sequence:

• enraged mom who was pregnant at time of exile from the magical world raises daughter into the Perfect Revenge Weapon

• when the daughter is ~10, the mom meets a really nice guy, chills out, heals, possibly goes to church or whatever. decides she will become a Progressive American Mom, and is reasonably successful at this transformation

• when the daughter is 17, the mom dies of complications from the torture she underwent during the clan warfare that drove her out of the magical world

• at the mom’s deathbed, the girl is like “hey btw. I’m still prepared to do the revenge sequence. I’d be delighted”

• the mom is all “no no I’m good now, I’ve moved on,…

Basic pitch:

There's a planet where the two inhabited continents are at the poles. One of them stayed in a hunter-gatherer / early agrarian stage. The other got to the point of creating AGI. Separated by vast oceans, they never made contact. The latter civ was knew something was on the other side of the water, maybe surveilled a bit, but was never interested enough to actually go over. The first civilization is resource-poor, not worth trading with or conquering.

Then the advanced civilization blows up. Escaping the wreckage, one woman and several hundred AIs under her care makes the long journey by boat, and land on the low-tech continent. They keep their presence a secret.

(AIs and humans coexisted for quite a bit on this continent before it blew up, and the story calls them the Maid…

This novella is 80% complete, but I haven't figured out the younger student's family situation yet. Grace is a lonely teacher at a small, expensive boarding school in New Hampshire. Arroyo is the wealthy Chinese student who hacked her computer, looked at her porn, and is blackmailing her.

"I'm afraid you're not going to like what I'm about to tell you."

"Go on."

"No, I mean really, prepare yourself for something bad," said Arroyo sincerely.

Now I was very worried. I said, "I – okay. I have."

Arroyo pursed her lips a little, inhaled gently while looked down at her lap, and then looked me in the eye. "I hacked your laptop. I've been through most of your porn. I'm here to blackmail you."

This one is a kinky animal rights fantasy story.

It's set in a world with a highly sexually dimorphic non-humanspecies where the females factory farm the much larger males for meat. Our hero is a male who has been reared by a philanthropic organization that wants to prove that males are intelligent social beings. Genetics is against them – many millennia of selection made males genuinely less able to function. Still, they find 100 promising candidates to raise as figureheads.

All but one are discarded by the time they hit adulthood. The pressure on the finalist, Tedy, is immense. He understands that once he's thrust into public attention his every act & word will be scrutinized.

The females use sign language and a three-tone sung language. The males struggle with the latter. He can only…

I've been posting some idiosyncratic ideas here to seed the website, but you don't need to mimic the vibe or the format or anything. Please use the tree format however you want. Post whole outlines, single sentences, snippets of poetry.

I also made this root post so that people can discuss things about the site itself. You can report bugs here, leave impressions, think out loud about what changes you want that would produce social/creative dynamics you like.

This root post is just a single scene + some context.

There’s a magical race whose most powerful members are capable of mind control, and its leader – who is afraid of raising an heir in the normal way, due to risk of assassination and values drift – is secretly training up an heir to replace him and Unite The Factions and so on.

He’s raising her almost entirely among humans, and he sends her to a new school every six months and tells her to rule the pack by the end of those six months. At the end, he brings in all the key members of her peer cohort and mind controls them into saying their honest opinion of her – explaining why they don’t like her if they don’t like her, what they think she could have done to make them her followers in truth, what life circumstances and psychological…

Being a parent (who is having a great time with it) has made me interested in “parental horror”. Here's a mythopoeic short story with lot of it:

A minor character is the only adult survivor of a weird advanced civilization and had to raise ~10000 children in a time loop. They had to batch the kids in groups of ten and do that a thousand times. At the end of this, they are basically insane. They live at the periphery of the civilization that arose from those 10000 people. They’re called the Greatmother and they live at the source of a river of milk.

Every first gen kid raised by the Greatmother experiences their childhood as abusive and neglectful, but they wouldn’t describe it in those terms because there’s no other baseline. This sets the tone for their whole culture in ensuing…
