how about a story where the main character needs to write a story so he asks for help and gets assistance from an evil genius who turns the main character into a zombie?

In 1965, Frankie joins the United States Army (and is sent to Vietnam), while his brother Joe takes a farm deferment and marries a girl called Maria (who had attracted the attentions of both brothers at different times). Within three years however, falling wheat prices cause Joe to leave the farm and take a job as a highway patrolman; meanwhile, in 1968, Frankie leaves the army and returns home. One night, Joe receives a call and visits a bar where a boy has been attacked and possibly killed, with witnesses identifying his attacker as Frankie, who has fled. Joe chases Frankie through rural Michigan until they reach - and Frankie crosses - the Canadian border, the implication being that Joe has let him escape.

It is two weeks before the end of high school. Evanand Seth are long-time friends in their senior year of high school, about to leave for different colleges. Their mutual friend, Fogell, has plans to acquire a fake ID, so Seth agrees to buy alcohol for a party his crush, Jules, is hosting. Evan also offers to buy Goldslick vodka for his long-time crush Becca.

While purchasing the alcohol Fogell is assaulted by a hooded robber, and the police soon arrive. The two officers, Michaels and Slater, who appear to be fooled by the fake ID (which has the single name "McLovin" as his identity), offer Fogell a lift to the party. On the way, however, they make numerous stops. The officers display many instances of inappropriate use of police powers, including stealing beers, drinking on the job, unnecessary use of police lights, and improper use of their firearms.

While the police officers are talking to Fogell at the liquor store, Evan and Seth make the assumption that Fogell has been arrested. Seth is suddenly hit by a car, but seems uninjured. To avoid being reported, the driver, Francis, agrees to take them to a party, where they reason they can steal the alcohol they need. However, Francis is not welcome at the party and is subsequently assaulted by the host, and Seth and Evan are forced to leave, but not before smuggling out alcohol. They happen upon Slater, Michaels, and Fogell in the police car. Officer Slater prepares to arrest the teens but Evan runs off and the two officers chase while the reunited Seth and Fogell make off with the rest of the alcohol. The trio eventually make it to the party.

At the party, a drunken Becca offers to perform oral sex on Evan in a secluded upstairs room, but Evan declines with the excuse that she is too drunk, and a heavily intoxicated Becca ends up vomiting. A drunken Seth tries to kiss Jules, who explains that she does not drink and does not want to do anything while he is intoxicated. Seth attempts to express his feelings for Jules, but passes out from the alcohol and accidentally head-butts her, giving her a black eye. Fogell successfully seduces Nicola and gets her into bed, only to have officers Slater and Michaels break up the party after only a few seconds of sex. Meanwhile, Seth carries Evan away to safety from the police officers. At Evan's house Seth reveals his brotherly love for Evan, who then reveals the feelings are mutual. Officers Slater and Michaels reveal to Fogell that they were aware of his fake ID all along, and decided to ignore it since they saw a bit of themselves in Fogell, who asks them a favor in return for their intrusion upon his love making. So, they pretend to haul him off to jail in front of the entire party to boost his popularity. In return, Fogell signs an affidavit to a concocted story to explain the condition of the wrecked police car which they proceed to have fun destroying.

The following morning, Evan and Seth run into Becca and Jules at the mall. After an awkward conversation about the mistakes of the previous night, Seth takes Jules to get cover up for her eye, while Evan and Becca go off to look for some comforters.

If you dont want to think of anything then you could just copy a games storyline and base it around that. Saying that you would have to be very carefull to find a good game.

You could alway write a story about group of UK football (soccer) fan who go to a away game in France. Before the game even start the group end up smashing upa pub, fighting in the pub and seriously hurting someone. The group are chase all around town to get away from the police. They find themself at the coast but dont want to use the ferry or train as they think they will be arrested. They have to steel a boat to get home or do wee job that agaist the lawto pay their way for someone to sail them home.

I'd rather not divulge a current idea in my head but I've got another one i can pull out for you. Take a generic fantasy setting filled with Orcs, Dwarves, elves and what knot. Advance them to an era where gunpowder is far more common place and the sword becomes a far less used object. Then write about how in the old days the elves have become some snotty, industrial loving empire who shun their original beliefs in preserving nature while the Dwarves who still live in the mountainside have become reclusive and therefore technologically behind with the rest of the world, while the human mages create the equivalent of pharmacuetical drugs through alchemy and sell them to everybody else for ridiculous prices with little care of the consequences of side effects. Oh yes, and the Dragons become highly adept businessmen.

Just do something like a character like Rorschach but call him bird man or something. Just make the story about his life or something and how he came to be bird man. Also make it like No country for old men with a bit of a diary at the start of each chapter. It could be about him growing up the diary segments and the troubles he had. Also make it a Romance comedy for the LOL

One finaly thing make him like me with a really bad speech disorder , so hardly no one can understand what he says!!

A love story of two beers. They meet, fall in love, have problems, its a big misunderstanding, they work it out, and live happily ever after.

All while fleeing from the drinker.

So powerful I cried.

Take an existing theme, (bank robbery, romance, disaster) and make it different. Break the rules of storytelling. Why should the blond haired girl in horror movies be a complete wuss? :)

Create a character and give them an unique quality. How about a stern military drill instructer? He's the best of the best; hard as nails. However, he's got a glass eye, and a twisted sense of humour with it. :)

Deal with an unusual premise.

Read up on news stories. They are filled with interesting real life characters and situations.

Try writing something with a twist in the tale.

Write a story through the perspective of just one character.

Focus on a particular 'event.' Are the main characters trapped in a horrible place? If so, how did they get there? How do they escape? Which characters get along, and which ones hate each other? Do they all make it out alive?

I'd probably write something about a lizard that can morph into a dog and for some reason is required to save the universe from rhino/turtle mutant hybrids.
