[Newbie-chan]

Yo!

So here's the deal: I really want to enter this manga contest where you have to write a 5-15 pages long story. But I don't know what to write about...! So I would be really greatful if I could get some tips and ideas!

[Kashi Girl]

Im just guessing here but maybe you should make a manga about your life expect with new names,new towns or citys,new lifestyle,and stuff.I cant think of anything eles but if I do I may put something on later.

[Hamashimura]

Weapons,magic,friendship,romance,fantasy,action,de ath and tears...Emerge those,and think of some story,and there it is...

[Shelley]

Write some cliche "guy saves world with lots of crap inbetween" story.

[In0kz]

well how about this guy how get to a vampire and they become friends and then this vamire got captured by this company who want to make clones of him and make an army to take over the contry. then the main character finds this temper were he learns how to control the flow of nature and then he tries to save his friend from the bad guys. and as the serie goes on the opponent get much more skilled and they also get to know how to control other elements like fire electric and so on. and on the way the main character meets this girl who he falls in love with and she knows how to control water. special: water can heal, fire are very powerfull and they are very destuctive, electric can protect (with a force field) and they are quick, nature can do as they want with all things that conserns nature, they can charm animals and do much much more.

:P


edit: maybe you should cut out the vampire and let the girl be captured insted

Bears and Chainsaws are always a winning combination.

[Buruku]

I wrote a story about pirate cats once, try that.

[miniPhil]

Get two characters that are secretly in love with each other but wont admit it, add some magic, some ninja's, an old Budhist monk, a doomsday machine, a pot of gold and a giant robot.....add soom hentai somewhere, thats always good.

[Baka]

You need to have a geeky guy that can't get girls but yet for some reason he's surrounded by them. Have a bunch of school girls that always do there best. And maybe a talking cat that turns into a spaceship.

[Eris]

Bears and Chainsaws are always a winning combination.

Pah! Deathrays, lunar bases and death thraps slowly filling with sand. That's what you need. Not some pesky bears with pesky chainsaws!

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

How about we compromise: A deathray shaped like a chainsaw and a trap that slowly fills with bears. Or vice versa.

That could work...

[Sailor Chibimoon]

Um...doesn't this belong in the fanfiction section of the forum? But definately go with the deathray shaped like a chainsaw. That's hot!

Zombies.
You can never go wrong with them, and they're one of the only fictional monster types that are somewhat believable. (Well...The "Virus that kills it's host body and grows a new organism in the brain that hijacks the hosts body as it's own" kind, not the "Magical" or "Demonic" kind)
And while you're at it....Try and include the following.
-Bruce Campbell, anything with Bruce Campbell will automatically win this little contest, exploit it.
-Tree Rape. If you've seen Evil Dead, it too is also an automatic win.
-Frank West. Because zombies need to learn how to stay down. Also instant win.
-A crazy necropheliac with a guro fetish (The police chief from Resident Evil 2). You can make him the main protagonists enemy.
-A chainsaw juggling psycho clown.
-A chainsaw juggling psycho bear
-A chainsaw juggling psycho clown bear
-A chainsaw juggling psycho chainsaw
-Dethklok
-Dethkloks manager
-Blood dripping walls
-Teen sex scene followed by the death of one or both teens shortly after or even during. All horror movies have this (Halloween in many movies, friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street, freddy vs jason. All teenagers, all having sex, all eventually die)
-"Meaning of Life" by Disturbed "Shut Me Up" by Mindless Self Indulgence and "End of All Hope" by Nightwish must be part of the soundtrack. Also, include the theme to every Evil Dead and every Dawn of the Dead-esque anything. Grant it, it's a manga and thus has no sound, but make a page of "Reccomended music to listen too".
-Nemesis, because STARS are a problem.
-STARS, so Nemesis has a purpose.
-A anime fan who thinks he's a ninja, he hits a zombie with a Katana, it breaks, he dies.
-Do NOT zombify anything but humans. Animal zombies belong in resident evil and only resident evil.
-Chainsaws.
-Duke Nukem (With a chainsaw). And he and Ash may run around, killing zombies while saying "Hail to the king baby" and "Groovy"
-Yakety Sax chase scene.
-Chainsaws that are also machine guns.
-Jason Vorhees. He can fight nemesis.
-Needs more Bankai.
-One of the main characters must be a chain smoker.
-Jesus.
-Explosions.
-A BFG.

[Sailor Lunar Eclipse]

Be sure to include a poor innocent princess that dies!!!!!
xD

[General Ike]

Depending on what type of story you want to write... Even slice-of-life stories can be even better if you know how to narrate and go through the story.

Narration is the key to doing this perfectly.

[lilly belle]

Write something that has a good story line- one you can keep straight. You could write something about a guy that gets put down and something about a girl and something in it about how this guy takes up for the underdogs in that area of town and how he gets the girl.

was that clear? idk i hope it was. . .

[Faceless111]

People like reading about incestuous pedophiles. Especially in manga. At least in Japan it's very popular.

[nosfarartu]

wheres the mange contest
wats the site

[Famahama]

Maybe just put together a story comedy,horror,romance and everything you can think of . And at the end make it a dramatic ending . If your not sure read some Harry Potter books and watch a great movie and add some parts to the story .

[Korobi]

I suggest you watch some movies (to get ideas). You should make it fantasy because I think that a lot of people like fantasy, and there's a wide area to elaborate in since it can be about any made up thing.
