Topher Lydon Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Not in that way, dirty minds... No... I need an idea for a Cryptid, something fun, unique and intriguing. Give my an idea and I will see what I can do with it. I have done Little shop of Horrors recently so plant based was entertaining.

Krista Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Mothman or Gargoyles? Are you wanting something more humanoid that would be able to communicate? Or just critters? 2

Primarily looking for ideas at this stage, pre-planning stage for the next bit of writing. Trying to explore the Genre and see where I can go with it. 1

Charlie vs the Gremlin Union: local 666 Though the idea of the ants is tempting, perhaps in a follow up story. Now how to write a Mothman trying to get through Heathrow trying to declare his Gargoyle partner as carry on baggage. 1 1
Topher Lydon Posted March 26 Author Posted March 26 Victor is cramped, annoyed, and completely unhelpful from inside the bag. He treats this like a minor inconvenience rather than a covert smuggling operation. Victor (muffled, gravelly voice from inside the canvas): "Arthur, it smells like duty-free Toblerone and despair out there. Tell them I have frequent flyer miles. I want the extra legroom." Brenda (staring at the bag): "Did your bag just ask for extra legroom?" Mothman (panicking, sweating moth-dust): "It's a Furby! A vintage, highly advanced, gravelly-voiced Furby! Very rare!" Victor: "I am not riding in the hold, Arthur. It's unheated. It's bad for my joints. I'll chip." 1

Let the ANTS Reign. Reminds me of the old 50's nuclear fear movies where all sorts of tiny insects grew to large threats. One of my favorites was the grasshoppers/locusts of The Beginning of The End made famous by the Mads of MSTK3000 1 1
Jason Rimbaud Posted March 27 Posted March 27 So I goggled it and found out my ultra original idea about giant ants roaming around the tunnels of San Francisco has already been done in the 50's. It's called THEM and its LA instead of San Francisco. So I suck and back to my drawing board. 5
Krista Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I tried to get ChatGPT to do a decent Mothman, it wasn't pretty. It kept giving him bird feathers and talons, not insect/mothy appearances. I went all caps in my frustration and it finally landed on something... lol. 1 1 2
William King Posted March 30 Posted March 30 High school students are forced to face their darkest fears in order to defeat a supernatural force that feeds on the chaos and misery of humanity. Too dark? 2
