looking for a cowriter

I'm interested. I can do comedy too and I'm typically good at avoiding corny plots... well... mostly. Sometimes I just do it for the heck of it. Lemme see... an excerpt is needed.

This is part of a story called, "Teenz that are Crazy!!" Note that at this moment a dragon, which looks strangely like Godzilla, is stomping around San Diego and THE COUNCIL (The Council for Mythical and Mystical Creatures) is trying to stop him. What's worse; this dragon is a shapeshifter and now has hidden inside a wax museum. THE COUNCIL looks for him:

“So what do we do?” I said briskly.

“Find Larethium the Eldest?” Mallin said, completely sarcastic. “I’ll start looking for teddy bears!”

“ENOUGH!” Vivaldi said, stamping his hoof. Mallin fell quiet.

“We have only two options,” I said calmly. “Either we separate to look for him, or we stay together.”

Vivaldi snorted. “Separate? That sounds right out of the plot of a stupid teen drama, you know, something called ‘Teenz that are Crazy!!!’ with a ‘z’ for an ‘s’ and lots of exclamation points at the end.”

“True, but maybe it’ll work,” I said. “We can get more ground covered that way.”

“Why don’t we just smash into all the statues and then kill whatever does get mushed up?” Mallin grumbled.

“If you hadn’t noticed,” Vivaldi said, “we’re trying NOT to rip up the human’s world.”

“If you hadn’t noticed, Godzilla was tearing up San Diego,” Mallin replied, just as sweetly.

I love coming up with crazy plots and love writing screwball comedy. That is not to say that I am wonderfully clever at writing humor dialogue, but I come up with screwball scenes which are funny in their own right. But I'm very versatile and can write everything from tragedy to comedy. Plus, it looks like I'll have a publishing business soon.

But... I will be on vacation soon, so if you want to write with someone immediately, I am not the person to do it.

Throw around some plots? Okay, I think i can do that. (becareful, they bounce...)

1. fantasy- three teenagers (mid/late teens) in urban setting. They do not age physically-ever, and they cannot die except for under certain specific surcumstances (to be decided), but they can and do grow and change mentally and do need things like food ans sleep and shelter, which means that they have to have jobs, blend in and not be noticed, and they like to play different parts/pretend to be iferent sorts of characters because they've been around so long and need to amuse themselves. they are dealing with the death of the fourth member of their group who chose to die. they have been around for a long time.

2. summer. beach house. speculative future/nondescript place. main's mom is some kind of partial invalid. the good student/perfectionist teen main character discoveres elements of rebellion. forms group of freinds with people they meet on this vacation, distresses said invalid mother and strict yet mostly absent father with their staying ou late, questioning their direction in life and and their hanging out with, shall we say colourful characters...

3. Fantasy-18/19 year old goes to mage college of a sort, against the advice of teachrs and peers, (i'm picturing a she, being one myself, most of my protagonists are) they befriend and quote/unquote ghoste who is in actuallity a being from another dimension who can't completely cross over into ours without assistance, which it coaxes from the main charater. it turns out to be an ally but a sort of dangerous one. when they made the hole for him to come through, his enemy/bad thing followed it through. Main Character and Other Dimension Guy have to team up to defeat th Bad Thing, despite some mutual distrust. and did i mention that with ODG is not bad per se, the authorities will hunt him down and /capture/kill him if they are found out... Thinking of, um, barrowing some elemetns from Sunshine... substitute Vapire with ODG, add water and shake...

You can keep these, I'm probably not going to get to these plot bunnies, so feel free. They need good homes.

I'm really interested, but the competition is a little... downheartening. I got a 15-year-old with a college degree and the funniest woman on the planet tog o up against... eep.

My problem is, developing a plot is easy, but i put too much detail at the start so i get discouraged from writing the end. If you wanna hear a couple of plot ideas, sure, pm me. What genres are you planning on writing in? I'm best with romance and the whole teen fistion thingy- romcom in a book, so to speak.

Your plot ideas sound like they could be cool, Sabine. I think I like the last one the best. I've never read Sunshine, though, so I don't know how alike it is.

The other two ideas could work out well too. The second one actually sounds sort of like an idea I've had, about a sixteen-year-old girl who spends the summer at a beach house in Venice, CA and forms a group of friends there...only in that one it's the mother who's mostly absent and she lives with her father...Anyway the reason I never wrote it is that I never came up with a real plot for it, just setting and a few characters. I feel like we need a clearer idea of what big things are going to happen.

It seems like whenever I come up with an idea, the idea is just for characters and often setting...occasionally there's a sort of premise (such as Unreasonable Progress, rebellious public school kid is sent to strict Catholic boarding school), but there's never a clear-cut plot, with like rising action, climax, falling action, and all that.
