So, I've been thinking about doing one of two things.
1. Writing a story to submit to one of the Writer's Digest competitions
2. Writing a short story to post here, since I don't want to post my novel-type-thing on the 'net because of the whole publishing rights thing.
Or, I could do both.
I came up with this idea for a story last night that I think I would like to write. My problem is getting feedback. I do have one friend who could read it, but anyone else who's willing to read it is online, so it would require my emailing the person or posting it in a friendslocked post on Livejournal. The rules of the Writer's Digest contests state that the submission can't be previously published.
So what my real question is is this. I was thinking of writing a story about...basically, the main character would be the equivilent of someone's side kick. So let's say it was going to be about something like...Batman and Robin. Robin would be the main character of the story. Would this be considered an original idea? Edit: Er, an original idea as far as fantasy goes, which is what it would be. Most stuff I've read has had the main character be the one that has some "special destiny," and you don't really get too much of the sidekick's view. The "sidekick" in this story would only have a "special destiny" to a certain extent.
I'm really not sure whether or not I want to submit this story to one of the contests or not, because I'm going to need feedback on it. I'm going to have to look at the contests again and see what it is they say exactly. Maybe I'll end up rewriting what I wrote of my NaNo this past November and send that to one of the contests so that I can write this idea and post it here. o___o
Sorry, I'm rambling. XD But any help given would be appreciated.
