Question: Which story plot catches your attention!?
Okay, i would appreciate that if i told you guys these plots that you don't copy them!. i mean you can use them but change them up a bit before you do!.

#1 If you ever asked anyone, Robin was definitely a snob!. If you weren’t Robin, then who the heck were you!? Robin starts off ninth grade as the girl who is well-known but when her friend is tired of hearing her complain, she leaves!. Now, she doesn’t have anyone!. Robin finds as she travels alone that she ignored so much of life!. Now, its up to Robin to get to know people, and maybe even fall in love!.


#2 Robins sister has depression!. Her mother and father are getting a divorce!. Her father is trying to commit suicide!. Most outsiders see Robins family and assume that she is the normal one!. But what they don't know is Robin has a secret of her own!. (Btw, I dont know what her secret would be!. Suggestions!?)

#3 Robin lives with her Grandma Margret!. Because Robins mother was 15 when she had her, Robin was raised by her grandmother!. But when her Grandma is killed in an accident, she is forced to live with a woman she doesn't know!.!.!.her mother!.

#4 Robin has never made it past the first date!. Weither it was her or the guy who decided it was over, it always ended it!. So when someone new comes to school, she decides to give dating one last try!. The only thing is he is nothing like the guys she has ever dated!. Robin must decide between changing him, or getting use the person he is!. But of course, with every hot guy, theres a problem!.!.!.all the other girls want him to!.

Ok, which would you want to read more about!? which you like the least!? Thx!

1!. Might be good, because you're writing at least partially from experience!. However, it seems a little!.!.!.unfocused, maybe!? Too general, in my opinion (from that short snippet)!. You might work that out when you write it out!. Or it might not need a focus!.

2!. Could be good IF you can pull it off; this could easily turn into a melodrama that gets sickeningly bad!. And when stories like that go bad, they go bad very quickly!. You'd need to make everything convincing!.
If you're up to it, go ahead!.

3!. This one, I like most out of the choices!. Again, though, it's a matter of making it convincing (not quite so much as the last one, though)!. And, of course, you need to have an idea of the resolution or some kind of central problem(s)!. But it could definitely work!.

4!. Don't like this one so much (personal thing; I kinda hate romance)!. That doesn't mean it wouldn't work--I like the idea of it, definitely!. If you develop interesting protagonists, it would be a pretty good story!. ^^

Really, when it comes down to it, any plot works--you need the right writing and characters to pull it off, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like number one!.!.!. but I think it would have to be written in such a way that the snobbishness would be understandable!.!.!. meaning that when people read a book about a character like that they always immediatly hate her!. It'd be nice if you could somehow make her someone that everyone hates and yet understands and loves!.!.!.

I least like number 3!.!.!. just because there are already so many stories like it out there!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like # 3 the best!. It opens up so many possibilities in the story!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like #2 and 3 the best!.

#'s 1 and 4 sound lame!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like numbers two and three!. You could really make an interesting story out of either of them so I say write a bit more of both of them and see which one you like better!.
The secret from two could be anything really!. She could be pregnant, she could be seeing a guy who is older than her in secret!.
I wouldn't discount one and four altogether though!. I say create a really complex and in depth character by making Robin still have aspects of the 'snob' and the girl who's not used to dating!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My favorite: #3 (I like stories that you have to get used to something or someone, and in the end you really like it/them, it makes your story like anything can happen with this plot)
My second favorite: #4 (I don't know, I guess I like romance stories, but not like it's ALL about romance I just like some to the story)
My third favorite: #1 (I don't really like it because I don't really like reading a book where the main character is a total jerk that no one likes!. I'm not saying your a jerk, but some stories are like that)
My least favorite: #2 (I HATE books about death, suicide, etc!. It makes me feel really sad and out of place!. It makes me shiver, you know what I mean!? Well maybe it's just me!. But I don't like books like that!. But if you choose it, I'd suggest the secret be about (this is just an idea) a secret jewel that Robin doesn't know about but is passed within every 1000 years in their family or something lol)

Hope I helped!. Good luck on your story!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
