Fairy Story Ideas?

Question

I am currently working on a paper. Or short story. And i have some cool ideas on a 'Fairy World' and everything. I have most of the details and names. But i am stuck. I'm having a hard time finding a reason for my main character to have to go into this fairy world. I am at a complete stand still. If anyone has any small ideas they would be greatly appreciated! :-)

First of all....Huh? What the hell was all that about? But ANYWAYS,this is not going to be published or anything. It is a fun lil project thing and i was simply asking for ideas. Sheesh.

THANK you everyone! For actual answers! MUCH appreciated! :-)

Answer 1

Or maybe the main character was writng a story about a fairy place and had writer's block and they say: to hell with this! I quit! Then they are sucked into the world of their story... The only problem is... they don't know how it ENDS!!! Make it fun, maybe they fall in love with a character???

But, at the end, it was all just a dream... But hey, now they have inspiration to go on! ;o)

And I'm pretty sure I just came up with that off the top of my head... Need any other inspirations?

Answer 2

Some people go into "fairy worlds" by accident, like Alice in Wonderland or Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz or the children in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Some go to have fun, like the Darling children in Peter Pan.

I think you're looking for a specific reason, like a cure for cancer or a pot of gold or a specific dream or request.

Think of something you really want in your life, or something you're afraid will happen. Suppose your character went into the fairy world for that reason?

Answer 10

because stealling the ideas of others always allows the creative spirit to roam free...

though I've never been able to put someone else's idea to paper without their express permission and without them reading over my shoulder at all times to make sure I didn't claim it as my own and it stayed true to their vision.
