What are some great ideas for some unique stories?

The ones you generate from within yourself:

1) List some things, concepts, causes you are passionate about (love or hate).

2) Create a likable character.

3) Give them an overall story goal relating to something you are passionate about.

4) List at least a dozen obstacles to that goal but in particular give them a weakness that inhibits them from obtaining the goal and an antagonistic force that wants the same goal and attacks that weakness. Don't pull any punches, make some dire.

5) You should have some ideas for scenes as your main character overcomes the chosen obstacles on their way to the climax where they overcome their weakness and achieve (or don't in the case of a tragedy) the story goal.

The great ideas for unique stories that you come up with.

There are no original ideas for stories left any more, therefore there can be no unique stories. If I was deluded enough to think I had one, I certainly wouldn't give it away to a random stranger.

Most of the stories that people praise for seeming original are actually combinations of familiar ideas that don't necessarily belong together. So pick ten stories you liked, pick something from each story (can be a character, setting or plot element) and consider every possible pairing to see if one of them makes you go "aha!"

You should try and think of something of your own. Most people will tell you that you need to think of your own ideas, because usually people won't give you their ideas for you to right about. So think of some ideas. It's really not that hard to use your creativity! Good luck:)

Uh oh..you might as well have slashed your wrists and jumped into a pool of sharks. Wrong question to ask mate. lol.

Here, ask "what if" about every day things. It might prompt some thoughts.

*Steps aside to let the sharks through* Good luck.

That depend on what your going for:

Thriller: i'd say come up with your own mythical creature

Romance: Starcrossed lovers or maybe not so starcrossed

Creative idea.
