User blog comment:StupidSurname/Scrapped Creepypasta ideas, care to share?/@comment-25073641-20160318032952

I know it sounds pretty damn common, but I had this one cool (but pretty ridiculous) idea where I put 7-8 people in a sort of maze or something and let them kill one another to escape the maze. I thought it was a good idea, until I realized it was trouble waiting to happen; it wasn't riddled with cliches or grammar errors or plot holes, it's actually quite the opposite. It's all original (at least as I know it, except the maze, of course), grammar-wise (that might be an unintentional lie), and pretty detailed (too detailed). So why did I scrap it at the end when it was getting better?

Because it was getting too complex.

Complex plots are great, like novels and shit like that, but when it gets too crowded with details and stuff, the events gets tangled together and the story becomes a huge pile of word mess. And I didn't like that. Then my hopes of completing it and publishing it somewhere withered away.

I haven't even passed the sixth chapter when this dawned on me, I knew it was coming. So as soon as possible, as soon as I could detach my heart and soul from developing it any more further, I threw it to the bin. That's the best thing I did for years.

I have more stories coming so please bear with me.

I had another idea. I was lying on my bed when it came to my head. I thought of a hitman for hire trying to clean himself of guilt (the hitman was getting emotionally unstable from all the tasks he'd done in his entire job). He hears the voices of the people he'd assassinated before, and they kept on tormenting him in his everyday life.

To stop all those, those hauntings, he was to kill all his clients and avenge the souls of his unknowing victims.

A kid's drawings coming to life. The kid's drawings are based on his dreams. He dreams of hell, without knowing what it is. If it's not an idea, I don't know what it is.

A non-canonical continuation of NoEnd House. A new house is erected somewhere in a city, and when hitchikers, who was last in the middle of the night without food or anything, find the house, they find themselves in the... you know, the new NoEnd house.

I think that's all I have to share you. I have more scrapped ideas, but since I've reconsidered developing those, then I decided not to include it here.
