So, what should I write next?

Those of you who followed my "Help me write- SOMETHING!" thread on this very boards already know that I ended that project recently due to personal problems. Quite simply, my life won't allow me to post on a daily basis like I wanted to. Besides, I may have taken on too big a task by trying to incorporate everything that was suggested to me.

So my first step is writing on an irregular basis. Though given how much I need to write, that should be pretty often.

Next I need to decide exactly *what* to write. This is actually the hardest part for me; I've found out that once I am committed to something, the ideas flow freely, but darn if I can make my mind before.

Here are some things I'm considering doing:

• An American Superhero in Japan. A young American superhero goes to Japan for a vacation, and finds himself hired by their government to help organize the local superheroes into a team. Basically an "American comics tropes meets manga tropes" story. All characters original, though plenty of classic stereotypes eg. giant robots, magic girls etc.

• The World Champions. A multinational superhero team, featuring one for each major culture of the world, but hopefully avoiding the Captain Ethnic stereotype. Otherwise done in a Western Animation style. Original characters.

• Something starring Sijo, The Interdimensional Adventurer- yes, a Self-Insert fic! But hopefully a non Gary Suish one, that's the challenge. Basically my character traveling around the omniverse meeting various preexisting characters. Probably a retelling of his origin.

• Along the above lines, maybe a multigenre crossover. I love those.

If possible, I may write the selected story right in this forum as I did with my previous one. I would relish using blue links to explain tropes in the stories instead of clunky exposition.

So? Any opinions or suggestions?

I like the World Champions idea the most, since it shows people from all the different cultures of the world.
