Actually we're called Tropers.
Okay, old idea, very very stupid:
"The Other White Meat." Young male white protagonist recently moves into a predominantly black neighborhood where a majority of the denizens are werewolves. Hilarity ensues.
Yeah, sometimes as a kid you'll come up with anything to use a bad pun,
When All Else Fails, you have fun and flirt wit da ladies, dats da Drawings way!Joan's Breasts - Twins fall in love with a young woman's breasts. The End.
The Fifth Gear - The life and death of a sports car.
Boobunzel - Girl with really long boobs is stuck in tower.
Personally, I think "Werewolves in the Hood" would be a better title.

Boobunzel? Really? Sand, that's stupid; even for you.

The terrible downside to multiple identities: multiple tax returnsNaruto fanfic, With a mary sue, beautifull, quasi-omnipotent 12-year-old jounin that goes undercover to find a time-traveling author-avatar that was teaming up with superheroes.
It's worse than it sounds.

Has ADD, plays World of Tanks, thinks up crazy ideas like children making spaceships for Hitler. Occasionally writes them down.1) Mary Sue Parody (untitled): Average (in just about every aspect) girl unhappy with her life transforms into a real life Mary Sue due to some sort of magic artifact (in the form of a piece of jewelry her mother buys for her for her birthday or Christmas or something). Gets unbelievably attractive (complete with boobs bordering on gag-ish), ridiculously talented in just about everything, inhumanly smart, very strong, the whole package. Gratuitous amounts of fan(dis)service. A few people gain interest in her at the cost of her losing her boyfriend (obviously she doesn't take this too well). While everyone seems to notice the change, no one seems to care (other than her and her boyfriend, of course). She goes through an intense internal struggle. As time goes on, it starts getting worse, with her developing superpowers and the like. Finally, she's able to break the spell (somehow, never got that worked out) and get back together with her boyfriend (they never really broke up, but they did drift apart somewhat). She learns to appreciate her mundane life and bam, happily ever after.
2) Zombie Story: Antoine (couldneverthinkofagoodlastnameforhim) is a shy, friendly zombie looking for his place in the world while dealing with both ridicule and the personal problems that come with being a zombie. Lots of Fantastic Racism along with tons of intentional Narm, both from Antoine and his discriminators (whatever the word is). Runs into one guy that hates him for being Black and supposedly gay but doesn't mind him being a zombie (actually finds it cool). Later on they become friends. Somehow. Even after they do, the guy still insults Antoine ("Tony") for being Black and supposedly gay (albeit, now it's in jest). Note that I seriously hated Antoine's friend (who, to this day, remains nameless).
Worst part is, I'm still tempted to write both of them.

Uhhh, one story, uhhh Captain Planet except better, cause there'll be guns and shooting people, and uh, Captain Planet is a metaphor for Nukes, that's why they don't summon him often, cause he blows up the planet... also, pollution.
Genetically altered cyborg furries save a White-Haired Pretty Boy from life as a model/slave, taking him to join their Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits in a desert home. They're then attacked by more cyborgs, these bounty hunters, who destroy their encampment for no good reason and drive them to wander the Earth, searching for a new home.
...I was twelve, okay?!

I've returned from the depths to continue politely irritating the good people of TV Tropes.(◕‿◕✿)A female blacksmith and a cyborg battle in a medieval village, with ninjas intent on stealing the medallion which is composed of peoples souls and... I'll stop now.
A girl who is a kleptomaniac tries to steal someone's xray glasses and fails. Repeatively.
A superhero story involving playboy bunnies.
In an anime, I'll be the Tsundere Dark Magical Girl who likes purple MY own profile is actually HERE!Fortunately it never got past the synopsis stage but I had the idea of a sort of Yellow Submarine rip-off starring the members of ELO with more angst and, um...creepy revelations regarding my developing psyche.
On the same piece of notepad paper I came up with another synopsis called Sure Sure Shyure which was just plain stupid (I’m guessing it was inspired by Battle of the Network Stars and we all know no good can come of that).
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!Most of my other bad stories were just hammy fanfiction with blatant Mary sues and Fix fics.
One original story I had was about a All Myths Are True one where a Water Spirit, Chinese dragon, demon alchemist, and Mage went across modern century and fought evil demons!
Counterclock, I'd read that.
@Eldrich, Oh my bad. That was the idea I was going to do art for (only sane man in an apartment building with a superhero, a mad scientist, some ninjas etc) but I double-checked, and it wasn't you. You have to admit, they're quite similar.
A Kirby fanfic in which Kirby, De De De, and Meta Knight team up to fight OC PhantomKnight.
Another one involved a retelling of FinalFantasyI. Basically like Eight Bit Theater, but nowhere near as funny.
I've got another one floating around in which the main character turns out to be the fallen angel Abaddon. It was eventually killed due to lack of interest in who he is as a human, though.

Dreamy girl in reclusive mansion falls in love with sister who hates her. Sister is working on immortality potion and plans to sacrifice Dreamy Girl in order to create her potion while Dreamy Girl tries to get her attention/love. Sister realizes to a vague extent what Dreamy Girl is feeling for her and takes advantage of her feelings in order to manipulate her into becoming a willing sacrifice for the potion.
Ettina, apart from that really not being how trans operations work, it's kind of sweet.
OK tropies, this here be a schadenfreude topic. If you have the balls, I dare you to post a short description of your really, really, really BAD story ideas.
This is not the place for "oh, i wrote this so long ago, and it's quite embarrassing because it's not very good". No! this is "What The Fuck Was I Thinking? This Was Never Going To Go Well!"
Old Shame you can laugh at, but this...refuge in anonymity is your friend
Since I started this topic, i'll have to take the first step in this parade of humiliation
Really Bad Story 1:
Ship full of refugees escaping natural disaster in tropical colony sinks, stranding the passengers on a tropical island. What ensues is Lord Of The Flies meets Blue Lagoon meets the survivors of the Batavia. Very very bad. calling some of it porn would disrespect porn. Long long story, many people die (the death scenes are the only thing in this whole excrable pile i'm comfortable with), and there is an enormous amount of sex. My only excuse is that i hadn't seen blue lagoon or read lord of the flies until after i wrote this (and decided it was terrible).
No accessible copies remain (Phew!!!)
Awful story 2:
Really really long (~400,000 words) story about an international finance conference (yes, indeed!) where all the characters (dozens of them) are played by Australasian Fauna. Yes, bankers and brokers and investment advisers and treasury officials all played by kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, dingoes, koalas, quolls, platypi, echidnae, tassie devils, wedge tailed eagles, possums, goannas, numbats, crocs, and lets not forget the tuataras, the keas, the kiwis, the wetas, and the tree kangaroos, and the casowaries, and the emus...you get the drift. anyway, it's faction vs faction during the conference, someone's killing delegates, and in the end, the story devolves into a brawl before a ceasefire is called and they all go out to kill cane toads
finished seven years ago, but some of the dialogue seems strangely prescient given the events of the last few years. It exists on the internet...somewhere...but i won't tell you where...or what it's called...or the author's name...because i don't want you to read it...i'm only saying it exists on the internet...because i'm a prick!
The terrible downside to multiple identities: multiple tax returns
