Hey
I have recently made two threads based on my new story and I needed help and I thought, Who else to ask than the readers themselves?
Anyway, I’m going to make a few polls so you guys can judge and help me decide what’s not only entertaining for you, but everyone else. So I’ll be asking questions like
What do you prefer in a story Which story line you prefer And so on
Please answer honestly and give me advice
Which Character style should I make first? (Making both btw)

Best story line
There was a good idea given to me from @lamecast88 on my thread about my story lines and this was her idea:
I have two others that you can pick from along with this one
Aria loves mystery and secrets. When Aria joins Greendale High school, her passion is fulfilled as the high school lurks with lies and secrets Aria is determined to find out.
Raven has always felt like the odd one out with her rare purple eyes, until she discovers her powers but what happens when she is adopted into a family that hunt supernaturals.
After her parents abandon her and her brothers and leave the with nothing, someone presents to them an offer they can’t decline
Jordyn has never been capable of love because she never had anyone to give or receive it from. When she joins high school all eyes are set on her, but her eyes are set on a mysterious person no one would ever expect
its hard to judge a story out for this. any idea for a story can be good or bad depending on how you do them.you could take the most cliche and stupid idea ever and make it amazing by writing it well. same way, an original and good idea can suck if you dont do it properly
with that said. your story ideas they sound kinda like the edgy teen story. with a sad back story instead of an actual personality and/or plot,
Thanks for your honest opinion,
I agree with your point, I apologise if you do not like the stories, however I do not purposely make the story come across ‘sad’, my stories are based on a certain genre which I enjoy such as action, mystery and so on. I am a teen and I am still developing on my writing skills lol
But I do not agree that my story ideas do not have personality or a plot, these are just descriptions of what I imagine my stories to be like, I can build up from there either change the plot, make plot twists even who knows
Therefore, this is the reason I made this thread, I am still a beginner and I would appreciate if you could tell me what I could do to change the plot or to make a story with not such a sad back story and things I can do to improve as I am still learning
So I have made my decision based on the polls and I will share them with you x
Which Character style should I make first?
Most voted was LIMELIGHT with 83%
What’s most important in a story
68% said story line is the most important
Biggest Pet Peeve in a story
75% said bad grammar
Is a story better with music & sound effects or not?
72% said with music and sound effects therefore I will add that to my story
Best story line
Although 40% said Aria and the Greendale High school one
However, I genuinely like the supernatural one and lamecasts’s idea so,
I’m going to do all three and combine them together to make this story line
Changes the going to be made: Jordyn is the assassin who’s eyes have been set on some one mysterious Jordyn becomes close to the son of his mother’s killer, Micah Aria falls for one of Jordyn’s brothers and hiding it from everyone
Aria, Raven, Jordyn both join Greendale at the same time, none of them knowing each other. All three of them join a friend group including Micah, Andre & Weston. Greendale is the school of mystery and secrets and Aria is eager to find them out. Jordyn helps Aria discover secrets but is determined to keep Aria finding hers. Meanwhile, Raven becomes distant to her friends as she finds a part of her that has been hidden her whole life. Her powers. Raven becomes cautious of her friends finding out her secret. Micah finds out his dad is the murderer of his girlfriends son he doesn’t know what to do.
The description is a bit rushed but I’m going to do one last poll which is
i guess it is more original
The readers will play all POV’s and you will get to customise the characters but only certain features like eye shape lips nose brows hairstyle
etc -
but they will not get to customise: skin colour eye colour hair colour names
and so on
thank you so much for the advice those videos helped
What do you prefer in a story
it’s ok to be honest and share your opinion
Jordyn is the assassin who’s eyes have been set on some one mysterious
