15 ideas for stories

Hi all, sorry I just forgot to post yesterday (now that classes are over, days are very confusing). Here are 15 ideas for stories. Some are just lines and some are even smaller sparks, but here we go:

  1. I guess you could say I was a vigilante (to follow a one page bit that I have).
  2. A mystery where a cadaver dog signals behind a couch at a crime scene. This is used to pursue the boyfriend of the victim, who did kill her, but killed her in the bedroom. He is utterly baffled as to how the dog signaled there, but it turns out he'd had the carpet redone to get rid of evidence, but someone was killed in the carpet warehouse.
  3. Blood sniffing dogs signal by freezing in place. However, this isn't because of their training, it's because the spirit of the deceased is talking to them.
  4. 11 people in a van driving around in an empty apocalypse wasteland.
  5. Creepy dystopia inspired by "The Ants Go Marching."
  6. In a world where you have a one true nemesis, one person goes on a quest to find their nemesis because they think it'll give their life meaning.
  7. Choose your own adventure vampire story. Will you become a vampire. Do you want to be a vampire?
  8. Snow White and Persephone crossover story.
  9. Camel Corps historical fiction.
  10. There were actually two different Grover Clevelands.
  11. Thomas Jefferson/John Adams fiction.
  12. Story inspired by my creepy dream with dusty bones in boxcars.
  13. Sentient Cinderella slipper.
  14. Picture book about having divorced parents being normal (would not be able to do the pictures myself).
  15. Beauty and the Beast version where the father does not go to send his daughter to the beast.
Let me know what you think!

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
