most of us in this forum are writers. as a writer you get story ideas, some are good some are bad, but all of them are worthless
so why are they worthless, because they are just ideas, everyone got ideas that is nothing special.
but you properly think but my idea is really amazing and people will love it . do you really think that, some of the most popular stories out there are actually the ones people thought weren’t gonna be popular star wars, Harry Potter.
using sims as an example, that as an idea was just a guy going to the toilet. like literally that was the first version of the game they made a simulation of a guy going to the toilet. would you buy that game of a character only going to the toilet? no, you would buy the fully developed game.
an idea cant creates a story, its a start but its worthless.
I often see people of the forum asking for a coder to write their story for them. and people other places contacting game developers and artist to do the work for them. and they want people to spend hours on there lose idea, for free even, that is hours upon hours of work, a single comic page can take 3 hours to make. would you work for 3 hours for free every day?
so what can you do to make your idea worth something? work on it, as a start. people dont make a movie with two lines of ideas, they kinda expect an entire script to work on. a finished story. you need to develop it.
my own story Magicka Ethereal, that started of an idea with a girl hiding a dragon under her shirt. that was my idea, if I wrote to you asking you to write an entire book out of this you would have nothing to work with. now i have a developed story that I made myself.
so please before you beg people to write your story. write it yourself first. and remember your idea as long as its only an idea it is worthless.
edit wanted to add
an idea is like a family portrait, for you, it’s worth something. but for the stranger who took it it’s not, they take multiple a week.
also, I like to note, I am no saying ideas suck and you all should stop writing. I am saying develop your idea before trying to get others to work on it. your idea might be worth something to you. but it arent to the stranger you ask to help you. which is why you need more.
also recommended video. just saw it shared in a facebook art group and thought it fitted
