I don't know how many people have even entertained the thought of creating their own world and putting it down in words, but I would like to see what interests you if you were to write your own story. Is it the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, or something else?
Personally, I find a negative character progression (or whatever that's called) very interesting. Basically, it's where a character slowly regresses in character and personality, extremes being starting off as the protagonist and ending up as the antagonist. On the other side of the spectrum, the existence of a romantic interest just for the sake of being there and not being of any necessity to advance the plot is quite frustrating for me. It's almost as if friendship doesn't exist in the story - if you become friendly to someone, you automatically get into a romantic relationship with them.
If it is possible, I want to read something like a person slowly turning insane because of his/her tenacity and perseverance to face any obstacle in front of him/her. Or maybe a story of a person reminiscing the times he/she spent with her now gone/deceased friend. Or even a story about an aged war veteran trying to explain war to a newer generation who has forgotten all the horrors of war itself after a long period of peace.
Now, I ask: what do you like/dislike in fiction, and what ideas do you have if you were to write your own?
