Question: I want to write a book, and i have an idea!.!?
I want to make a book called "The List" and heres what it's about,

Theres this girl, she's average!. She is popular among the nobody's, but the popular people don't really know her!. She is quite pretty, but not really special!. Suddenly somebody puts out this list on facebook!. It is anonymous (like a bathroom wall sorta thing) about who they think are the most popular people in the school!. She get's so sick of everyone going on and on about the same people!. She doesn't understand why they are popular!. Not everybody likes them either!.

So, she desides to anonymously create a list!. A list of people who should be popular but aren't!. Everybody comments "what a bunch of bullshit", "what an LG fag" sorta thing!. Like ACTUAL teenagers/preteens do!. Then one person makes the exact same list, but adds 1 or 2 people!. Other people grasp on to the idea!. She ends up on this list of losers awaiting!. People title the list "People who should be popular, but aren't" (real original eh :P) then when they finally go to school, everyone starts acting differently!. The nobody's who got on the list don't know about it!. So the girl starts to get nervous!. She passes by the popular people and they are all asking everybody who these people that are on the list are!. They start to get a little aggresive!. Then her friends start talking about it, they are like "wow, that person is right!. the popular people are really bitchy now that that list came out!."
suddenly somebody prints the list!. all of the nobodys get ahold of it!. then suddenly day after day, people start to change!. the once popular people are suddenly fading away!. and the nobody's are being put in the spotlight!. they keep the list secretly away from teachers so that nobody can get caught!. now that the nobody's are popular, they are starting to change also they are becoming a lot bitchier!. and sluttier!. suddenly!.!.!.
the principle gets the list, because the popular people put it in his desk!. he gets everyone to try and confess who wrote it!. they are blaming innocent people!. but the girl doesn't want to confess, she thinks it'll just pass!. but it doesn't!.

NOW what should happen, i don't think that it should end with her getting caught!. that would seem unrealistic!. or too predictable!. so, what should happen!? i'm thinking of something like the ex-populars go after the people on the top 10!. they try and beat them up at the community rec!. dance!. the principle cancels the dances, and all kinds of things!. no one is confessing!. so he just drops it!. i'm not sure what to do from there!. THANKS A LOT!! I KNOW THIS IS A LONG QUESTION!!!?
would you read something like this if u were a teenager!? lol, this is just the type of stuff i like!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds really good! you should definetly write it!
I think it should end with one of the original girls, who isn't responisble for the list, confessess that she is because, throughout the journey, she changed and realized that people shouldn't be divided up by popular and unpopular!.

Idk it was just an idea that popped into my head!. lol =]

But anyways, you should write the book, i would read it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds good! Go for it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i like it sounds real goodWww@QuestionHome@Com

It could definitely be interesting - just be careful about having a main conflict and stakes!. Stakes are incredibly important!. What does your protagonist stand to lose if she's the one that's discovered to have written the list!? Maybe her best friend isn't on it and she would lose that friendship; maybe her best friend *and* her boyfriend aren't on it!. Maybe the popular guy she likes isn't on it!. Maybe the principal mistakes it to be a hit list instead of a list of students who should be popular!. Maybe this comes out right before people are voting for class elections and/or homecoming/prom court, and your protagonist needs to be on it!.

Either way, you need a direction or a main "core" to your story that you don't quite have yet!. You have an interesting premise, but what you need is conflict!. ______ does _______ in order to ______, and if she fails, _______ will happen!. Chaos ensues!.

Anyway, good luck to you!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds pretty good!.
But then of course, the idea means nothing if you can't write!. I'm assuming you can write just fine, so if I was you, I'd go for it!.

It's not exactly the type of book I normally read, and I'm in my mid-teens, but it does sound like quite a lot of the stuff some of my friends are in to!. If I was you, I'd keep it as realistic as possible!.

Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love the idea for this book, and I am sure it could become a best seller! I think the girl should not be caught!. But, as you could add another moral to this idea, since the girl gets snotty and slutty and bitchy, she should learn her lesson!. I also like the idea of the popular people going after the top 10!. So I think you should stick with the idea you have!. But put a unexpected surprise at the end! Like in the very end, make it seem like the girl's daughter or something is telling the story!. Maybe the girl could die!? Or maybe that is just gruesome!.!.!. But something like that would surely perfect this idea!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its a neat story idea, but there are a bunch of things that aren't making sense to me!.

Why is the list so secret from the beginning!? Why does it matter if the teachers know about it!? Is there a rule it is breaking!?

Why does the principle care who is in what clique!?

And at the end, when the authority knows about the list, why do they go after the creators of it instead of the people who are attacking others!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
