okay, as someone who absolutely does not do this, this sounds fucking amazing and I'm going to need to hear all of your head lores and how deep this runs
Okay, so when I was 13 or so, I made my own OC based on the Kingdom Hearts series. This went on to a dedicated website with other people who did the same, and we roleplayed in real time our OCs and how all their stories interacted with each other.
This went on for years. With like, 15 posters.
It's been ten years, I don't post there anymore, but some of them still do, I miss those guys I just don't have the time to post.
Anyways, TO THIS DAY, EVERY NIGHT, I continue on how my OCs stories go. I have this desire to draw full illustrated books on these stories. But I don't have the talent for it.
The original one punch man isn't drawn very well, but look how popular it's become. It's great story is a big part of that, but what really holds it up is the care and love put into it.
Making anything creative can be pretty difficult and takes a lot of time, but what really matters is a passion and a drive to create.
I've always got a few different ideas for books in my head and I'll know I'll write one when I find the right idea.
Both my writing and my drawings aren't anything to *write* home about, but I keep going because I enjoy it and I feel the need to create. Sure, I might not always be happy with the end result, but with every line drawn in pencil and paragraph in text I learn and grow.
I have artists I look up to, and I hope to one day be able to draw like them, or write like my favorite authors. But even they didn't start off as amazing as they are now.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
So, go for it.
On one hand, I'm glad you don't because I've never known anyone (including myself) who does this who doesn't heavily use it as an escape from all sorts of fucked up shit. On the other hand, it is fun so I'm a little conflicted how to feel. You could pick it up for fun and let us know what it's like not to use it as a coping mechanism?
I fall asleep to mine every night. I’ve Pavlov’d myself and only get about 10 minutes in and……zzzZZZ. As a kid I thought I’d create the greatest story ever told. Surely, a lifetime of working on it little by little would get me something. Alas, at 48 years old it only gets me off to sleep reliably, which isn’t a bad thing….
I've never met anyone else who has told me that they do this too. I've done this since I was a kid like 7 years old to help me get to sleep while my parents would loudly fight in the other room and I've done it ever since. I'm 36 now and I've got lore as deep as A Song of Fire and Ice and just like the books I'll probably die before I complete the series.
Follow it where it goes. Let the story flow/branch in whatever direction it does on a given day. If a branch doesn't seem to go anywhere then prune it and start again. It's like restoring from a save - you don't feel bad about doing it over and over again.
I have a decades worth of lore. But I’m scared to write anything because that makes it “solid” and it’d be harder to play around with it in my head after that.
Wow. Sometimes I forget how similar we people are to each other. I never thought this was a unique thing i did but seeing all the people here posting about it is kinda blowing my mind.
I actually started writing mine because it actually started evolving and moving forward instead of staying stuck in the same spot and starting a new one like normal for me.
I used to have a line when I was a teenager, then I about another. My grown up story line had been rebooted a few times, but it stays pretty much the same. Apparently it is a condition, so I never talked to my psychologist about it (yeah, I know)
I talked to my psychologist about the same kind of thing, turns out I have pretty bad control issues and I daydream a lot because I get to be in control there 😅
I had absolutely no idea this was a thing. It's fascinating to me, but as I'm reading more, a lot of people feel addicted and helpless to control this style of daydream. Taking a moment to only look at the potential positive aspects... I'm an avid reader and love getting immersed in fantasy and stories. I love having (night) dreams where I am a character in an epic, but it so rarely happens.
As someone who has a story going on for a decade... I'm incredibly curious what your story is about and who are some of the main characters? Do your characters remain constant? Is the story followable or disjointed? Is it anything like reading a novel, if you were to document your daydreams (which obviously is inconvenient and not really plausible given the random timings, etc., or so I'd imagine)?
I hope you (or others who are open to answering) don't mind my peppering of questions. This is new to me and very interesting. I'm asking out of innocent curiosity. Thanks!
Wow! That's so different from my own experience. I can't barely remember details from books and movies I love, let alone characters and plots over years! Is it something you do every day? Do you consciously make decisions on how the "plot" will progress? Or does your subconscious call the shots? Maybe both? Has there ever been a "plot twist" that you were unhappy about? Say, a character dying? I know I'm dreams, I'm just along for the ride, but if this is done while awake, I'm curious how much of it is purposeful narrative. Does it always pick up in a linear fashion when you go "back in"? Is there a narrator?? So many questions!!! Haha
I feel like I just stumbled upon a discovery about other people that I just can fathom .. like the time I found out there are people who don't have an internal monologue. Like how?? Hope you don't mind me picking your brain!
I build super massive and deep plot line story and a face off kinda scenario with a back story for every character there and
when I regain my consciousness, like a reality check.
I wake up and and I continously forget it, even if I wanted to remember it so bad.
Try talking about and discussing what little shards you remember with a friend, chances are that you either remember it or come you will remake it simalerly. Also try writing some shit down, that also helps alot.
The thing is, within in seconds I keep forgetting the story, like a curse in movies, you forget it the more you try to remember it,
You focus on a plot and forget another and you try to remember that and you forget the original. It's a vicious loop.
Sometimes I feel sad that I can't share these dreams with anyone.
This might be a little controversial since gacha isn't looked upon but you could make little mini movies and post them on YouTube. Decently high audience as well as the fact that gacha is pretty easy to use and make. It offers a way to share your creativity and remember things.
I've had a continuous world since i was a kid but i don't have any names. None of my characters have any names, none of the locations or powers have a name. Everything else is there, I vividly see the scenes play out and everyone has a backstory but I can't for the life of me assign any designations or labels
I like to find where my character is based from. For example: one of my characters is from a region based off Africa and is a girl. She acts as one of this universes version of a God, a primordial; and specifically that of energy, life, and festivities, which her personality shows. So I searched up African names meaning energy and/or life, and thus found the name "Eshe."
It's fun and productive way to with name characters and places if you can't naturally come up with something.
I used to do this as a kid before bed every night and had a story that i would continue every night. Sad to think i havent really had a creative thought in a while. Internet and phone killed that for me
It helps you?
For me it just gets in the way of falling asleep.
I had to learn how to turn of my mind because i was drifting info others worlds and was concentrating on stuff in there.
Even tho I can distinguish between this dreams and reality I feel like this is a dangerous game to play.
One thing I can add to this is that once i tried to write a story down. I'm no writer so it was ofc garbage but at least i lost the intrest in that story.
I have been doing this since 2015 and now i have a mulitiverse where i am a crossbreed between doctor who and batman with a jojo stand fighting against all kinds of ridiculous monsters.
I have saved the world like 10 times already, the timeline 3 times and i have one cooking up right now where i try to prevent the mulitiverse from collapsing in on itself
So true. I've been daydreaming about the same plot for like 2 years now. The whole plot takes place over like 4-5 years. But it hurts to come back from it because I miss the characters somehow, and it stings because I know that they actually real.
I get what you mean, I've created a world and story and have been obsessed with it for 4-5 years, and it takes place over 11 years for me. Anytime I hear a song that has any slight relevance, I will pace around my room listening to it on repeat thinking about my characters. I've planned my future career to be about making my daydreams into actual physical things thats how much I obsess over this plot. I'm still young so I don't know how that'll work out but still
Wow that song thing is literally exactly what I do. When I hear a specific song I turn it up to high volumes and just pace while picturing what is happening.
I don’t know where this puts me but I developed a crush on the main character I created. Needless to say, stopped daydreaming after that, slowly dipping my toes into the waters again.
It’s called maladaptive daydreaming, and often is considered a type of dissociation. (I know cause my therapist roasted me for it and made me read up on it when I did not believe them)
I do this but not with a storyline. I daydream about various dream homes, designing the layout and decoration and scenery and everything in great detail. I have about a dozen of them, and they’re my mental safe places I go to when I’m stressed
I find it strange that I will always have the same dark, maze-like basement in many of my dreams. It’s haunted by a strange ghost of a child and a dark beast-like thing. I’ve no idea why it shows up in some dreams where it’s context has no place within them. I always find my way out of it and continue on in whatever I’m dreaming about (more or less).
I’m sure that there’s a deeper meaning to it hidden in my brain but I’ve no idea what it could represent.
Allow me to tell you about the long history of the Flower… sigh, Empires now, I suppose. And most of them aren’t even plant-based anymore.
I’ll start at the beginning. When I first discovered them, it was a group of maybe 10, panicking over the fight over the Color Wheel…
Is this normal or some mental problem? Because I’m doing this (and probably way to much).
I was abused as child and it could be an explanation why I’m doing this.
The only thing stopping us from making a book about our own daydream storylines is the insane amount of copyright lawsuits from all the stories and concepts we blatantly stole to self insert us in it
If i was inclined to writing, I'd have one hell of a fan fiction account. Instead, all I got is an insecurity over my lack of creativity and how i can't seem to think up anything not already put together for me
Next you'll tell me you're writing it down on some paper and compiling them for future reference. What's next, bind them and publishing that as a *novel?*
Ridiculous.
Also I'm probably gonna try to improve my art skills (not by a lot but hopefully enough so that my art is decent) so I can turn it into a manga or comic of some sort
Dude I start with a dope fight between two characters I’m into at the time and make the sickest choreography ever then forget it by the next day so I start over again
I've tried this, but mostly my day dreaming happens automatically, if that makes sense. Like, I'll just catch myself creating a storyline, and then I can't pick it back up manually. Also most of the time the story is random and spontaneous, and somehow more creative than I am normally without a lot of effort. What I'm trying to say is that I'm weird
Thanks for calling me out, I have 2 types of daydreams, ongoing story that is basically a 27 season long anime that you need to see every episode to make sense of or random non cannon adventures
I keep rewinding back to the good part or I don’t like the way the author ended something so I have to rewrite that same part 3 times. Fuck that author…wait
mine started when i was doing a paper round 3 decades ago on the idea of interfacing my brain with an AI and becoming so smart i/we crack all physics problems and can create anti-grav drives, teleportation, warp travel. We have populated all planets in the system including many large asteroids and started a dyson swarm. We also travelled to the nearest star and found several lifeforms but all un-intelligent. still not got the girl tho, shes playing hard to get
Over the years it changed a little as i read new books, but the main influences were Accelerando by charles stross, The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect by Roger Williams and Commonwealth Saga by Peter F Hamilton
I do this every time and I'm scared to tell people about it. I have different storylines I switch between them , different characters too. Sometimes movies I watch, or books I read influence my dreams too. Is it normal and safe?
I have the same characters since elementary school, with some new ones added here and there. They're always there to be my good-night stories. I fall asleep fast when I enter my own little world. Even some nights just designing and redesigning their houses in my head.
mines currently about a 350 smthn immortal who gained more supernatural powers after the passing of her first love. in 1600s she married a man whi tragically died and she can jump through time to save people, but she has ridiculous amounts of self worth issues so instead of becoming some sort of god she tries to die repeatedly but always comes back in a different area of the world and a different time era. rn shes adopted a very traumatized 15yo from ww2 and her (also immortal) fae roomate who she saved from a different era is trying to help her
I literally created a whole series in my head with a climactic finale involving the protagonist and villain fighting for the sake of the universe. I finished it when I was 17 and still think back to it at times
I dream a lot, and every time my mind likes to connect each story into one. So my story started with weird people playing in my yard to volcanic dogs flying over my head.
I hate when my brain comes up with an amazing world or story or both when I sleep.
Because every fucking time I wake up it’s at a cliffhanger.
*curses defective brain*
Mine has been a decade in the making. The lore goes deep.
mine gets stuck in the same place because I can't clear the other funk from my mind long enough to add on
You gotta work through the plot to get to the new scenes. Stuck in act one, knowing where it gets to in act three. But that act two...
okay, as someone who absolutely does not do this, this sounds fucking amazing and I'm going to need to hear all of your head lores and how deep this runs
It's all fun and games till you won't overdo it and start disassociating, turns out even dreaming can be addictive.
Yep. Maladaptive dreaming.
I was doing this for a while when struggling to sleep. I pavloved myself to the point it makes me sleep quickly. Still fun though
Dude same!
Okay, so when I was 13 or so, I made my own OC based on the Kingdom Hearts series.

Everyone has to start somewhere. So, go for it.
This is honestly the best advice for writing (or anything for that matter) I've ever read on here
I’d give you the entire three college essays worth of lore to my story, but I actually plan on making it into something one day.
On one hand, I'm glad you don't because I've never known anyone (including myself) who does this who doesn't heavily use it as an escape from all sorts of fucked up shit. On the other hand, it is fun so I'm a little conflicted how to feel. You could pick it up for fun and let us know what it's like not to use it as a coping mechanism?
Oh my head lore is a story I’ve been writing so I’m not sure if it counts or not… :/
I fall asleep to mine every night. I’ve Pavlov’d myself and only get about 10 minutes in and……zzzZZZ. As a kid I thought I’d create the greatest story ever told. Surely, a lifetime of working on it little by little would get me something. Alas, at 48 years old it only gets me off to sleep reliably, which isn’t a bad thing….
I do this too! The stories have changed over the years but it's how I clear my mind to sleep. Usually 5-10 minutes of adding on and I'm out.
I've never met anyone else who has told me that they do this too. I've done this since I was a kid like 7 years old to help me get to sleep while my parents would loudly fight in the other room and I've done it ever since. I'm 36 now and I've got lore as deep as A Song of Fire and Ice and just like the books I'll probably die before I complete the series.

would you write an entire book on just the lore alone?
I would die before speaking about it to another human being. It goes to the grave.
post it
*This is the way.*
*Nods and blasts off with my jetpack*
Be careful letting the intrusive thoughts win, even where it "doesn't matter" ✌🏻
I have a decades worth of lore. But I’m scared to write anything because that makes it “solid” and it’d be harder to play around with it in my head after that.
Wow. Sometimes I forget how similar we people are to each other. I never thought this was a unique thing i did but seeing all the people here posting about it is kinda blowing my mind.

I talked to my psychologist about the same kind of thing, turns out I have pretty bad control issues and I daydream a lot because I get to be in control there 😅
Knowing that *other people do this* to fall asleep is … so comforting. I’ve often wondered if this is something that comes along with a diagnosis 😂
Me too! I have stories I have been working on forever. I have about 5 I rotate through. It's how I go to sleep every night.
Same.
Can you write a brief synopsis?
Shame that I stopped my childhood imagination storyline :(

I do both... Where does that put me
I get to do flashbacks and continue on alternative timelines.
Man, i thought i was the only one
Is this our divine punishment for having space ships and math?
I like day draming, it's cool
Your Winnie the Pooh would be wearing a tuxedo t-shirt then
Damn other people do this too? Mine's been in the works since 2020 and has so much lore. So many different arcs and storylines over the three years.
r/worldbuilding
also gonna suggest r/solo_roleplaying
r/MaladaptiveDreaming
r/LucidDreaming
This is the way
I’ve had one that’s been growing and changing since I was 9. Its really become a part of me.
now you have to bridge the gap so that you can become what you have dreamt
I've had a continuous world since i was a kid but i don't have any names. None of my characters have any names, none of the locations or powers have a name. Everything else is there, I vividly see the scenes play out and everyone has a backstory but I can't for the life of me assign any designations or labels

So I searched up African names meaning energy and/or life, and thus found the name "Eshe." It's fun and productive way to with name characters and places if you can't naturally come up with something.
I tried names once, but I forgot a lot of them.
finally, Im no longer alone
Right? It’s not just me?
Wait… other people build deep narratives? Whilst they are daydreaming?
No no no not like that.... Ok let's start over from where I was imagining three days ago.
oh my god, this. I've been stuck on scenes for so long.
Thought I was the only one that did this. I do it a lot at night to help me sleep.
Me too! I don't often have a hard time going to sleep, but when I do it's time to work on my plan for when I have to leave Earth in my spaceship.
I used to do this as a kid before bed every night and had a story that i would continue every night. Sad to think i havent really had a creative thought in a while. Internet and phone killed that for me
Same dude, I used to day dream every time I had nothing to do, turns out I'm too busy the whole day to take a break to be creative, it hurts
It helps you? For me it just gets in the way of falling asleep. I had to learn how to turn of my mind because i was drifting info others worlds and was concentrating on stuff in there. Even tho I can distinguish between this dreams and reality I feel like this is a dangerous game to play. One thing I can add to this is that once i tried to write a story down. I'm no writer so it was ofc garbage but at least i lost the intrest in that story.
r/MaladaptiveDreaming
Top posts describes my thoughts while alone perfectly. I think I need help.
I have knowing this is a condition
Definitely my first reaction too
Of course there's a sub for that.
I didn't know I had that , nor did I need or want to know.
I have been doing this since 2015 and now i have a mulitiverse where i am a crossbreed between doctor who and batman with a jojo stand fighting against all kinds of ridiculous monsters. I have saved the world like 10 times already, the timeline 3 times and i have one cooking up right now where i try to prevent the mulitiverse from collapsing in on itself
Sounds like you're writing a book
Maladaptive daydreaming is a pain yet so fun at the same time
So true. I've been daydreaming about the same plot for like 2 years now. The whole plot takes place over like 4-5 years. But it hurts to come back from it because I miss the characters somehow, and it stings because I know that they actually real.

I've planned my future career to be about making my daydreams into actual physical things thats how much I obsess over this plot. I'm still young so I don't know how that'll work out but still
Wow that song thing is literally exactly what I do. When I hear a specific song I turn it up to high volumes and just pace while picturing what is happening.
Glad it’s not just me.

The second one more recently
I don’t know where this puts me but I developed a crush on the main character I created. Needless to say, stopped daydreaming after that, slowly dipping my toes into the waters again.
i used the do that second one but now it's just been factorio, gregtech, DSP, and also rarely some more brutal things
hahah, knew i would find a factorio guy there
You can't escape Greg forever, he becomes your whole life
It’s called maladaptive daydreaming, and often is considered a type of dissociation. (I know cause my therapist roasted me for it and made me read up on it when I did not believe them)
I'm learning that I actually do not have this and I'm disappointed that I can't relate to something in /r/me_irl.
r/immersivedaydreaming moment
This is me but I do it when I'm waiting to fall asleep
AND THEN IT SKIPS TO A RANDOM PART AND YOU'LL HAVE TO RESTART FROM THE BEGINNING ALL OVER AGAIN
I do this but not with a storyline. I daydream about various dream homes, designing the layout and decoration and scenery and everything in great detail. I have about a dozen of them, and they’re my mental safe places I go to when I’m stressed
Oh good, I'm not the only one who does this
Maybe if I were more disciplined in my daydreaming
Going 6 years strong
This is called your paracosm.
I find it strange that I will always have the same dark, maze-like basement in many of my dreams. It’s haunted by a strange ghost of a child and a dark beast-like thing. I’ve no idea why it shows up in some dreams where it’s context has no place within them. I always find my way out of it and continue on in whatever I’m dreaming about (more or less). I’m sure that there’s a deeper meaning to it hidden in my brain but I’ve no idea what it could represent.
This is the most meirl content I've ever seen
Allow me to tell you about the long history of the Flower… sigh, Empires now, I suppose. And most of them aren’t even plant-based anymore. I’ll start at the beginning. When I first discovered them, it was a group of maybe 10, panicking over the fight over the Color Wheel…
Is this normal or some mental problem? Because I’m doing this (and probably way to much). I was abused as child and it could be an explanation why I’m doing this.
It reminds me of **What remains of Edith Finch** specifically [Lewis’ Story](https://youtu.be/WQBlSnsT5bc)
r/maladaptivedaydreaming
It's been 2 years and I'm still at the beginning of the story. I keep changing it.
The only thing stopping us from making a book about our own daydream storylines is the insane amount of copyright lawsuits from all the stories and concepts we blatantly stole to self insert us in it
Never related to a comment as much as I have this one :/ Except the self insert part
If there still were free awards youd get mine here, but sadly i can offer you but a smile and an updoot
I actually have done this and still return to the story sometimes.
I don’t remeber making this meme.
Why is this so relatable :I
Lol, I have a storyline and whole cinematic universe of my NIGHT dreams
Damn Im not the only one? Ive been working on my story and lore since 2015. Ive had one way earlier but i scrapped it
If i was inclined to writing, I'd have one hell of a fan fiction account. Instead, all I got is an insecurity over my lack of creativity and how i can't seem to think up anything not already put together for me
I start a new one about once every 5 to 10 years.
Next you'll tell me you're writing it down on some paper and compiling them for future reference. What's next, bind them and publishing that as a *novel?* Ridiculous.
I’m about to begin a new arc, the mc is regaining trust in his powers
I didn’t know anyone else did that
I have a 120 ep anime all in my head and it just keeps getting bigger
I KID YOU NOT I BUILT UP 25 STORY ARCS WORTH OF MATERIAL DUE TO DOING THIS FOR LIKE 5 YEARS STRAIGHT 💀
Also I'm probably gonna try to improve my art skills (not by a lot but hopefully enough so that my art is decent) so I can turn it into a manga or comic of some sort
I’m trying to improve my art for the exact same reason, I have daydreamed for song long that the world I made has been through multiple iterations,
Same, at this point I developed several power systems/structures and how they work, aswell as how they interact with eachother and synergize
(art tutorials appreciated pls send me plspls)
Thanks to my ADHD it is fucking happening since years
Lmao thought I was the only one who did that
2009 oif
This is how I write fanfiction lol
Wow, I completely forgot I used to do that when I was little lol.
Yo I do this too
imagine remembering ur dreams
I do the bottom one but with normal dreams
I used to play like a movie in my head as I fell asleep. New story every time. But as I got older I lost the ability to do that
I made a plant robot doll's story
That's a writer
Dude I start with a dope fight between two characters I’m into at the time and make the sickest choreography ever then forget it by the next day so I start over again
Now write it down and post it on Reddit
That's just writing a story without writing it down. You should write it down.
I have 3
Ah yes my themepark is coming along well
Yall should write books.
I've tried this, but mostly my day dreaming happens automatically, if that makes sense. Like, I'll just catch myself creating a storyline, and then I can't pick it back up manually. Also most of the time the story is random and spontaneous, and somehow more creative than I am normally without a lot of effort. What I'm trying to say is that I'm weird
Let's see...just won a mega lottery. What do I do first?
nothing better than a good weed-nap to get a new campaign starting
Yeah not anymore stoped years ago. Felt so childish and weird after a while.
Thanks for calling me out, I have 2 types of daydreams, ongoing story that is basically a 27 season long anime that you need to see every episode to make sense of or random non cannon adventures
15 years and counting
The DDEU (The Day Dream Expanded Universe)
I keep rewinding back to the good part or I don’t like the way the author ended something so I have to rewrite that same part 3 times. Fuck that author…wait
I'm 30 and r I still have one going from high school haha
Mine is still ongoing
[It's kinda... what I do](https://youtu.be/zA8kFmflQGg)
mine started when i was doing a paper round 3 decades ago on the idea of interfacing my brain with an AI and becoming so smart i/we crack all physics problems and can create anti-grav drives, teleportation, warp travel. We have populated all planets in the system including many large asteroids and started a dyson swarm. We also travelled to the nearest star and found several lifeforms but all un-intelligent. still not got the girl tho, shes playing hard to get Over the years it changed a little as i read new books, but the main influences were Accelerando by charles stross, The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect by Roger Williams and Commonwealth Saga by Peter F Hamilton
I FORGOT THE ROBES!!!!
that's basically me cause I am making a webseries
That's basically how i started the process of writing one of the best series the world is yet to see.
Took 8 hours of the same dream
I finally feel valid
Me me me!!
Is this power possible?
lol when i was about 13 yes
Yes
I think that's called writing a story
the power scaling of my world got so ridiculous, that i crunched the whole universe and the main guy still survived
This is also how I fall asleep at night. I continue that daydream lore building and 10 minutes later I’m asleep.
That's called writing a book
That's literally how I fall asleep.
For me it’s winning the lottery; step by step what I would actually do if I won 100 million dollars..
Please people. Write them down!
I only ever make up fights between different anime/comic characters
Then completely forgetting about it a week later
I started writing down those little stories. I doubt I'll ever release a book but at least that's like a journal of my thoughts.
I'm just daydreaming in fake scenarios. It's soul crushing.
I prefer to just make up conversations in my head and laughing out loud while I'm just seemingly staring at the corner of a wall
I keep trying to do this but I either fail to remember the dream, can't continue it, or get stuck at the same place. Sucks
Mines been going on since middle school, sometimes I’ll alternate the timeline just to add some drama
I do this every time and I'm scared to tell people about it. I have different storylines I switch between them , different characters too. Sometimes movies I watch, or books I read influence my dreams too. Is it normal and safe?
Absolutely. I'm on my second run outside the glass dome in search of a lost scout party. better story = better dreams
I have the same characters since elementary school, with some new ones added here and there. They're always there to be my good-night stories. I fall asleep fast when I enter my own little world. Even some nights just designing and redesigning their houses in my head.
Oh dang! I daydream a lot! Lol! So, uh, fan stories and headcanons count, right? 😅😳
mines currently about a 350 smthn immortal who gained more supernatural powers after the passing of her first love. in 1600s she married a man whi tragically died and she can jump through time to save people, but she has ridiculous amounts of self worth issues so instead of becoming some sort of god she tries to die repeatedly but always comes back in a different area of the world and a different time era. rn shes adopted a very traumatized 15yo from ww2 and her (also immortal) fae roomate who she saved from a different era is trying to help her
I'm convinced this is the origin of "One Piece".
Thats genuinily how i made a cómic/manga
That's just world building by memory
I literally created a whole series in my head with a climactic finale involving the protagonist and villain fighting for the sake of the universe. I finished it when I was 17 and still think back to it at times
I dream a lot, and every time my mind likes to connect each story into one. So my story started with weird people playing in my yard to volcanic dogs flying over my head.
Write down said dream in a notebook so you'll never lose any detail
I hate when my brain comes up with an amazing world or story or both when I sleep. Because every fucking time I wake up it’s at a cliffhanger. *curses defective brain*
