Possible story ideas and chapter postponed.
🕑 Added 2023-02-25 19:07:22 +0000 UTCI'm heading out of town for my dads birthday this weekend and didn't manage to squeeze some writing time in during my break at work, as I thought I would be able to. The next chapter will come out on monday for patreon and the 1st of march for RR. Sorry for the late notice, guys.
On another note, I'd like to share some story ideas that have bouncing around my head recently, to see what you guys think.
1. I am an avid harry potter fan, in spite of its admittedly bigoted creator, and have been thinking about making some fanfiction for it. One Idea I had involved a steampunk/magic hybrid, where the mc slowly introduces and discovers their own branch of steampunk magic crafting to the magical world as he attends hogwarts.
Another idea in the same world involved a minor full metal alchemist crossover, where a man is transported into an adult body with the shadow powers of 'pride' fro, fma. He opens up a small bookstore in knockturn alley, where he sells books from other magical cultures, translated into english.
2. I've been thinking about an original story in a world where power is gained through sigils which are animal based and pseudo-hereditary. Everyone is assigned their own sigil at birth, which they slowly develop as they become stronger. MC is born in the snake clan, yet gains a never-before seen sigil; the sigil of the hydra. The methods to develop this sigil are not in line with the rest of the clan's, leaving him floundering to find his own path. Little does he know that he's no the only one to receive a sigil based on a mythological creature...
3. I gave another original story a try on the patreon. In this story, we have our typical medieval world with magic. The mc is a jaded, bitter person that transmigrates into an orphan and has all of his jaded views reaffirmed by the cruel world he finds himself in. He comes across a charlatan magician, who he sees as a peer and possible partner in crime. He only later finds out that this 'charlatan' only ever indulged his crime's in an attempt to teach him and that his master is an actual magician. I wrote the two first chapters of this on patreon already, but things got busy and I kind of let go of the story. Now, it's hard to get back into it. On top of that, I'm not sure if I want to rely on the misunderstanding fro, the premise overlong, that could get frustrating.
Anyway, I've got to go. Thoughts?

As for myself, I don't read fanfic. So I would neither find nor read #1. #2 sounds like it has a lot of potential. Noble house heraldry could poke its nose in, too, perhaps. #3 sounds like a short story. You'd need a lot more going on before it could be a serial. Also, readers may have a tough time with a bitter protagonist? Overall, though, I don't especially care about the "elevator pitch". I'm here for the character interaction and progression. Your concept could be "village boy must crawl out of the offal pit with determination and the help of a friend". I'd read it if it came recommended, if it could surprise me occasionally, and if I liked the MC. "If you build it, they will come."

Enjoy spending time with family! I personally wouldn't be likely to read the harry potter one since it's never held my interest(even before the shit show that is JKR's views became known) but the other 2 i'd probably read! I do say do what you think you'd enjoy the most though
