Over the years I've written a buttload of JN fanfics (including Hypno-Cindy, Me Myself and Two of You, and most recently, The Other Side of Tomorrow), but for various reasons, I never got around to writing about 75% of the fics I've actually thought up. Since I'm nearing the end of The Other Side of Tomorrow, I'm thinking ahead to what I want my next fanfic to be about. Tell me if you like any of these ideas (some are a bit odd and some are really vague, I admit) or if you have a request/suggestion for a fic I should write.

The lucky participants have the opportunity to live at a classmate's house for an entire week, and then put together a presentation on what they learned. And those lucky participants just happen to be...Ms. Fowl's 5th grade class :dance:


Title: Forever in a Day
Genre: Realistic Fiction, Friendship
Description: After yet ANOTHER one of Jimmy's experiments go awry, Cindy and Libby become trapped in a perpetual time loop, forced to relive the same experiences over and over again.

These are the fics I think you NEED to make in the near future, and when you do, you need to PM me the chapters. =D

[dancerg7]

my favorite ones are
meet the parents
and
someday


they rock can't wait to see what you write!

[NekoGirl]

As fics in general, I personally can't wait to read all of them, they definitely sound interesting. :)
But I'm a bit confused on the pairings involved. I just need to know which ones might have J/C or none at all.

I'll easily read any fic based on Sheen/Libby & Carl/Elke of course, but I'm touchy when it comes to J/C fics. If by some off-chance I do read a J/C fic, it'd need to be one of those "their season 1 relationship, with only a few hints here & there" kinda thing. THAT kinda J/C fic I'm open to, jst not something like LSTN or Stranded.. ;)

All ideas sound great though, regardless of whatever pairings they are, & I say you should write each of these, regardless of what romance is involed! ^_^

Meet the Parents: sounds pretty funny!

Fear: have fun picking out ONE fear for Carl..... ^_^

North Dakota, The Loch Ness Monster, Pandora's Shoebox, and other Myths: i want to read this one so bad!!!!!!!!! i have a feeling its going to be hilarious! you have to write this one!

[Crash_7]

I agree that Meet The Parents sounds like the best idea. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT do Fear, though. It's been done, by one of my fav fanfic authors, GaDS2000 (Gary D. Snyder).

All We Have To Fear

That's one of my favorite stories of his, too. Give it a read.

BTW, Forever In A Day sounds a lot like the movie Groundhog's Day.

Ya, I wasn't planning on writing "Fear" anyway. I figured someone, somewhere must have already written a fanfic to that effect.
Lots of people also voiced the concern that "Forever in a Day" seemed a lot like the movie "Groundhog Day". Can someone please explain to me what happens in this movie? It seems like everyone has seen it except me.

[kprrs3000]

North Dakota, The Loch Ness Monster, Pandora's Shoebox, and other Myths
Message in a Bottle
Point of View

[kprrs3000]

Bill Murray plays a cynical, total jerk weatherman for a local TV station. On Groundhog's day, he and a video crew are sent to do a remote in Punxsutawney, PA to cover the official Groundhog's Day festivites. Long story short, he's forced to relive Groundhog's Day in Punxsutawney over and over and over again, apparently thousands of times. He has some good days, some bad days. His continuous loop finally ends when he gets the girl (Andie McDowell). It's never said what causes the whole thing, but I guess it's implied that it's some kind of divine intervention. I highly recommend it even though I'm not really a Bill Murray fan. It's hilariously funny, very romantic and surprisingly touching and philosophical.

[Urvy]

Fear, eh? It sounds like something that The Scarecrow (a major Batman villain) would do!

In think The Green Lantern would get involved!

Yeah, Gary Snyder is good. Real good! "It's An Alternate Life" is another real good story of his. I haven't really gotten into his current one, "The Network Strikes Back". What with it being 81,000+ words and 30 chapters and counting, I'll wait until I have a spare week to devote to reading it. :) But enough of that. Let's not hijack Mara's thread.

Mara: Doing a story along the lines of "Groundhog's Day" would be acceptable, IMO. Doing a JN fanfic that derivative of a movie is one thing. Doing a JN fanfic that's derivative of another JN fanfic is another. :) That's why I cautioned you about "Fear".

Hee hee, sounds like a good movie. I'll try to check it out sometime.

Note to self: scrap fanfic idea.

All these fanfic ideas sound awesome. It would be so cool if you did Meet the Parents and Message in a bottle in the future. Those look really intresting and funny!

How many chapters does the other side of tomorrow have? Looks like it has over 100. When are you gonna upload the other side of tomorrow btw? I wanna read it!

[cancel_me]

Those ideas sound fantastic! I really like the idea of Forever In a Day... just basically the concept that maybe Cindy will realize just how mean she's been to Jimmy? Or maybe not. Maybe you'll just make them relive their life to see things they hadn't seen before?

All of your ideas sound wonderful! Please get them written out soon. ^_^

[~~Megan~~]

Okay, for Mara: I have also not seen Groundhog Day, though I have had numerous opportunities to, and one of the first fanfics I ever considered writing was kinda like "Fear". And I'm starting my novel soon! :thumbsup:

[Beks]

Hey, I was fiddiling with some fanfic ideas myself. I have 2 I'd love to do someday:

Title: Galazra (0r) Time Dragons

Genre: Fantasy, Action

Discribtion: When a mysterious egg appears in Jimmy's lab, an adventure of "monster" proportions begins. Jimmy hatches a flegling dragon named Galazra and suddenly summer gets more exciting. He must learn the ways of the Barden Time Dragon riders and save the world from an evil king of the past.



Title: Temper Tantrum
Genre: Realistic Fiction

Discribtion: After and radiation explosion in his lab, Jimmy's N Men power returns, but he doesn't know it because he has a full body sun burn from the beach. He does relize soon, but unfortunanly, he gets too mad at Cindy and almost hurts her. He returns back to normal, and soon realizes what he almost did. He runs away, leaving a note to Cindy, saying sorry and telling her to not look for him, please! She heeds his words for a little, but when terrable things happen in town, and Jimmy is not to blame, Cindy, Libby, Carl and Sheen begin the search for Jimmy.

Tell me what you guys think! :thumbsup:
