Topic: A Ticket Bound For Nowhere...

You ever had an idea, but you couldn't really bring yourself to write? Well, here is where you can pour these ideas out, to calm the feeling of wanting to tell someone, but you can't bring yourself to publish it!

Thought of a good plot, but having problems finishing it?

Thought of a good scene for a couple, but have second thoughts on how others will respond?

Or maybe it was a random moment when you thought of it, but you just can't seem to get rid of it?

Well express yourself here!

DISCLAIMER: Please, if any of you find a idea you like here, PLEASE ask the person to see if you can use it or something similar to it. I don't want to be responsible for someone having their idea stolen. The guilt will kill me.

I've actually had this idea for about a month but only have the first chapter written. Every time I try to go further, my writing chokes and I end up erasing it. The premise is this:

Long ago, the Magister Magi Nagi (a different one...) and his partner Shiranui defeated the infamous demon Orochi and sealed it away. Being egostical and somewhat enchanted with his own heroic deed, Nagi attached the Heart of the seal to his bloodline rather than to a conventional big rock. Orochi and the details of his sealing is known to the Magical world but in the Normal world it descends into legend and then myth.

Fast forward several centuries...

Sen, daughter of the Imperial Crown Prince of Japan and one of his mistresses, has been the target of assassination by these shadowy figures using magic since she was four years old. Her grandfather, the Emperor, attempted to have her apprenticed to a mage but for some reason her magic is nigh incontrollable and fluctuates in strength along with her emotions. At age fourteen she has a near miss, but the wound is cursed. In an attempt to buy time, the Imperial family contacts the only noble family that has magical ties for help: the Konoe branch of the Fujiwara clan.

Konoe Konoemon, much to their delight, has a suggestion...

I'm thinking of placing it after the Final Exam/Library Island arc since its the most logical time for transfers into the school to be accepted. Since the fic would be dealing with people set to kill straight off rather than kidnap, I'm thinking liberal doses of Kaede, Kuu Fei, Mana, Evangeline and Setsuna along with Negi would make the most sense.

I was at first leaning towards a more gun/weapons oriented Negi since while the assassins don't care about keeping magic secrecy, he does but now I'm not sure.

Any thoughts?

As a fan of the "warrior girls" that sounds like it could be a really cool story; with a good helping of style and pacing it could actually be quite the thriller. :D

An Unlimited Weapon Works Negi sounds good, but are you referring to magical weaponry or more conventional types? If it's the former then it would make sense, coinciding with his huge geeky collection of rare weapons, but the latter is less so, since it would seem strange for him to put aside all of his magical learnings (and he is a magical genius). It would be funny to see him apprenticed under Mana for marksmanship lessons, though.

And more female OCs=very yes!

Best of luck on your project. Sorry it's a little dead around here. There's a writer's strike. (Not really, we're just mostly at the other site these days. Doing stuff that isn't writing. Haha...)

Here a prologue of some sort: * I made this up from a RPG forum I am at.... turn out to be pretty good*

Broly was relaxing at a cafe (in town he stumble just upon) with a smoke and a cup of coffee. He just finished with another assignment....bored, he decide to relax for once.....Everything was peaceful...and boring..... until T.V. started to be too loud.....

" Breaking News:

A 10-year old boy * Showing a picture of Negi Springfield*, is internationally wanted for causing the incident of disrupting the gateports. Capture him and you will be rewarded 300,000 DP.

Also, everyone! He is not alone and he has traveling pack of female humans he seems to be attached too...Get the wanted list for more info and reward info.

Thank you and have a nice day!"

"Hmph..." was all Broly said...

" Why would a 10 year old and a bunch of his teenager girl cronies be charged with such a serious crime....its too odd..." Though the mercenary.

Broly waited to his copy of the list till the crowd of people died down to the wanted list station...

Broly glanced at list...

"......."

" hmmm, there is another boy mixed with the other 15 girls.....worth..27,000 DP

Other than boy that worth about 300,000 DP..... it's just a bunch of human girls...quite ordinary looking ones too....

Some of the girls have a bounty of 30,000 DP...must be the powerhouses of the group

Everyone else has a bounty of 10-15,000 DP....weak tag-along in the group"

" How annoying...." sighed Broly...

I guess taking a break is out of the question....

Here a Chapter 1...I guess:

Broly tried to scout out some background info on those "kids" on the wanted list.

"Hmph.....no info other than the crime they did and their wanted list.....

How come a 10 year old children such a high bounty?...and his girl cronies have a reasonable sum too.....together, you have enough money to live comfortable for couple years......

Is someone trying to frame them? or did they all did something very stupid and illegal (at the same time) to take the blame......or that wrong place/wrong time type of thing....

.....This is ...bothersome...."

Broly decided to take a break (again...) by hanging out a nearby bar...

.....Listening to 2nd.....no 3rd class bounty hunters braging on what are they going to do with the reward money.....

" Maybe, I can get some useful information from them...."

" I am just going to have a big party on my huge mansion!!!" said a stupid one....

"No, idiot! Women! Get Women!" said a horny one...

" No, I was wrong.... this is stupid....."

" How about saving it?..... Until you actually need/want something?" said a reasonable one

"..!!.."

"NO!!!" said the rest...

"You on crack!?"

"No,A Mansion!"

"....stupid"

"No,A Party!"

"No, A Feast!"

"....Really Stupid..."

"No,Women!"

"Hmph..I take that back.. a bunch of amateurs looking to finance their pleasures..."

Just about Broly had a enough and leave.....a stranger came near and tap him....

"Mind if I sit here?....."

Broly said nothing...

"Just said nothing,mind my own business.....and they can do whatever they what..."

Until the stranger repeated this message and kept tapping..... again....and again....

After 15 minutes of this, Broly got a little annoyed.

"Look, I don't.....care..."

Broly stopped after turning around to stare at the annoying stranger's face..

"m-Master!?" * cut it off here?...cliffhanger type of thing?*

He just chuckled and pat him on the shoulder

" We have a bit of chatting to do....I need a favor from you,though...Are you willing to take it?"

...eh?....

How is it? Horrible? Throw down the drain type of work? More Detail? Too Big? Too Short?

Heya Claro.

This...I'll be honest, it needs work. To be brutally honest, your grammar is horrible. That's something that can be fixed with effort/a good editor/etc though, so there is hope.

As for the story part, you might merge those two parts together and flesh them out a little and come out with a half-decent prologue. If anything, both sections are too short. A chapter should be a coherent whole made up of several scenes, rather than just part of one scene. Also, the part where the miscellaneous people are saying what they'll do with the reward is a bit awkward.

And there are too many dots. Its usually a good idea to limit something like that to once every few paragraphs at least. Other forms of punctuation can take their places, but that probably goes under grammar.

Anyway, it looks like it might be interesting, so keep working on it. Good luck!

So...more detail, flesh the whole thing out a lot more, work on the grammar, and this should be a good start for a fic.
