I have a couple and I just honestly dont even know where to begin
So, do you have any? I’ve personally had some that at first seemed exciting but on more reflection, I didn’t quite figure out yet how to make the premise really shine
I’ve got a ton on the back burner for terminal lack of plot - I usually start with the concept/scifi setting weirdness because that’s the part I find interesting, and then build out from there. But sometimes I can’t work out a plot that does a good job with the setting, or can’t choose one from my options. So the setting sits around until I get the Second Thing that makes it click, reinforces the themes I want to explore, etc. I’ll take a look at my list and see if there’s any that’ll be interesting to talk about
