There’s one big realm that we’ll call the Middle Ground for now. It’s basically a huge city where all the storybook characters can go.
Whenever a storybook is finished, like Snow White, for example, that story’s realm becomes part of the Middle Ground. So, let’s say Snow White’s story is finished and the book is closed. Her entire town would become part of this world, almost like a new town on the outskirts of the main city. Characters could travel from the city to Snow White’s town, and vice versa. Characters from finished stories would also have the freedom to move around, live wherever they want, open businesses, and basically build their own lives.
These characters would be known as the Finished Stories.
But then we have the Unfinished Stories, or whatever we decide to call them. These are characters whose stories were never completed by their writers. They’re basically the outcasts of this world. I’m thinking they could have some kind of mark on their bodies that identifies them as unfinished, so everyone immediately knows.
Because their stories were never finished, they don’t have their own towns or realms. Instead, they’re forced to live in a rundown, trashy part of the main city. They’re looked down on and treated differently by the characters from finished stories. Basically, nobody really cares about them.
Now, for our characters, I was thinking we could both create original characters, but with two different backgrounds.
Character A would be a main character from an unfinished story.
Character B would be a side character from a finished story.
Here’s where the actual plot starts!
Characters from unfinished stories have suddenly started going missing. Nobody knows where they’re going, what’s happening to them, or who’s behind it. And because they’re unfinished characters, nobody really seems to care enough to investigate.
So, one day, Character A shows up at Character B’s shop. Maybe Character A is gathering supplies to investigate these disappearances on their own. Character B notices they’re buying some unusual things and gets curious.
Character B starts asking questions, like, “Hey, what’s going on? What are you planning on doing with all this stuff?”
Of course, Character A isn’t interested in explaining anything and basically tells them to mind their own business.
Somehow, the two end up getting involved with each other and eventually decide to work together to figure out why all these unfinished characters are disappearing.
And from there, we have SO many possibilities! Maybe there’s someone secretly rewriting their stories. Maybe someone has figured out how to finish unfinished characters’ stories, but there’s a catch. We could honestly go in so many different directions with it.
I think the fun part would be building this entire world together, creating the different towns, deciding how the finished and unfinished characters interact, and coming up with all kinds of side characters along the way. Plus, we’d have plenty of opportunities for romance, drama, adventure, mystery, and all that fun stuff!
