Hey, I need some input

[Kvasir]

Beware for I think this is my longest post anywhere.

Now that I am offically done moping about myself. My mind has been mulling over some ideas, and while I have no solid images to assist my random blurps I'm asking you to run with me here. Please forgive my horrible spelling.

I have only one solid talent, an imagination that drowns me in too many ideas. So, I'm trying to focus on a BE project, and while I understnad Im not exactly the greatest artist out there(www.golseum.deviantart.com, check it out) I want do something cool. The only way I'm going to focus is by getting some outside input. The basic plan is to make a comic like thingy.

The big idea I have has to do with knights,why? Because I like knights. Basic setup forthis would go as follows,Ahem
Sometime in the near future a dark force break an anicent spell protecting the holy isle of Avalon. Five knights (being the main characters of this story) come off the island to survey the sitution, andencounter our modern day splender (I have this weird running idea that one of the knights is obsessed with ipods...I think will be goofy) Their first goal is to find the seer Merlin, who was trapped away. Upon arriving at the place where he was sealed they find the evil broke the seal trapping him years earlier (this plot point still up in the air) Merlin in an effort to help the knights tells them that the Lady in the lake will give them Excalibur in exchange for the souls of the demons. Simple, well the souls have to be stored in some object, like a sword or sheild. Unforatnately for the main heroine when Merlin finds out that she is, well a she his firstthought becomes boobs. With his magic set in motion the stoage place for the souls becomes her chest. I personally like this idea because different souls could have different effects on her. I don't like this idea simply because I feel like I've read it before in a different context.

Hoo, luckily that is the most well thought out idea. The next was inspired awhile back by the whole BE vrius thread (which sadly died with me being the last entry, ah well). The problem right off the bat here is I tend to think things in WAY to logical a stand point when it comes to zombies (One day I swear I will have a zombie army)
That being said the only way to get the transfer from zombie to be to work logically would have some rather strange sounding explaination about Dominant and recessive genes, some flaw in the DNA or RNA.(Do you see what I mean too logical?) That being said I thought of a nice way for someone to get infected with the virus. You start a story off with a boyfriend and girlfriend, well the guy gets bit, and well before he turns the two swap saliva. BAM instant transfer of the virus with no brutal effect on the girl other then seeing her boyfriend become a zombie and BE. Something I like about this idea is it could just be destroying a set of genes, which gives some flexibitly on what the virus would actually do to the ... right people. The bad thing about this is that if I had anything to do with it, it would end up more focused on zombie slaughter then process of any kind. Well, I guess I lied this was kind of a big blurb...

Then honestly alot of my ideas become really weird, just plain stupid, or really really over done. The only other one which I feel even deserves mentioning is where I girl has to serve as a messenger between the gods.I don't mean between Zues and Ares, but Athena to Mimir(norse god figure) Thoth(egyptain god figure) and Thor.
In this altered reality the gods in an attempt to prolong their lives had to take the forms of mortals, thus she has to have good wits about her. An example would be Zeus ending up in a Hugh Hefner like character (anyone who knows about Greek mythology would probably know why I made this choice.) The problem here is I have no idea for a good sequence to get her to this point or how to introduce the BE element properly. I think it would be she finds a god, then she asks that god for a favor (like a bust boost). The god then enrolls her in a forced work program, if she refuses or screws up she gets an extra boost. (you getting that down it sounds alot more logical then it did in my head)

I guess as long as Im typing I could introduce the short strip series I'm doing (I mean that in the sense of three comic panels) about a girl named Susan's endless quest to get a more ample bosom. It never happens properly and usaully effects the characters with no interest. Its meant only for the humor stand point, there will be no seriousness there ever. I have a few pictures of Susan on the process already, if dig up the old thread "Something I drew".

Aside from the plug for my mini project, here is what I posted all of this to ask, what do you think would be cool to see, I guess I could do a poll, but that would make sense. I like them all, but thats just the problem, so I'm looking for the oppionon(If thats spelt right I deserve a cookie) of others. Anyway if you have actually read to this point thank you very much for your time. If you feel like giving me a oppionon(thats my spelling and Im sticking to it) please by all means do.

To be honest, you could do zombies probably but you'd have to lose the whole rising from the dead, only feasting on the living etc. thing

But anyway - sounds as if you've got a decent main story idea worked out... I think you should probably keep it relatively simple though - the rest of the ideas sound as if they're just going to detract from what you've got worked out.

You're probably best on just working through the whole knights of the round quest thing, rather than introducing a bunch of extra elements. It's like they say, it's always best to do something simple well.

hey, thanks for the comment, I thought I scared everybody away with the pure length (consider the fact I condensed the whole page of information...scary right?) If you can tell, simple is my problem, I want everything to be epic(*raises hands into metal claws* flourish plays). I just want something goofy, which probably means zombies are out.

[Jedi_moogle_Cid]

simple is best. And I like knights, too. What would these demons be, and where?

[Kvasir]

aha, well, thats where the thought process stopped; the demons would probably be different each instance. (kinda power rangerish, I know) If a demon ahad a very big trait it would effect her in that way (like a demon made of hair would do some to her hair rather then her bosom) As for where, well it would either end up from place to place, or staying in Britain. (which being an american would just be a pain the ass[pardon the vulgarity] to make seem... well true) So it end like a hunt, go to this place, get a demon come back then set out again. (yay cultural exploration!)

wow! Someone else who likes to think clear on the other universe apart from the box
nice ideas! I say, whichever you think will give the person the most opportunities, you should go with.

[Kvasir]

Hmmm, that is what is the problematic part. For pure BE the Be virus would probably work best, simply because it would be easily drawn out and well paced. The kinght idea is real cool, BUT I am having serious trouble focusing on the BE. I keep wanting to make it an *raises hands in metal claws* EPIC! It has a very good setup to be, well, a good story. Part of me feels like it's a waste to spend such a concept on BE (the other part me hates myself for thinking that) Even so I'm having big trouble making BE the focus rather then abackseat driver. It has to do with my tendency to overthink every story I think up. The ideas are all running around in my head, and I've even worked out a bit more on the knight story. (what do I mean overthink? I started researching how many knights of the round table there where, and what they looked like. How did the knights die? See, what I worked out that would be cool is that the demons are the twisted and corrupted souls of the knights being controlled by some dark force, but I would want them to be somewhat a relfection on what they where. So I started going into it.... My god, my brain hurts from all the thinking) When push comes to shove these stories are still awhile off, and are going stay in limbo untill I can work them down a bit.

wow, I talk alot... I'm sorry
