Among Us [NEW STORY]

Hey guy,

 

I know....I'm not usually active and mostly been reading other people's stories (because I lost my groove and think everyone else is better at writing than I am). I have like 2-4 one-shots (1-2 unfinished because I didn't have it in me nor did I feel like finishing it and did not believe in it = a cardinal writing sin). I used to have an old account where I wrote one long story but it was when I was 14 and used almost every cliche and the plot lost its meaning. Since then I remember struggling to finish it because of my attention span and wandering mind (hence I only write one-shots).

BUT!

I had a zombie apocalypse dream that had WWZ/Last of Us game theme mashup and it was so meticuluous (with a few plot holes since time skipped and I got to see the ending of my dream). Anyway, I liked it because it had an among us vibe to it where the characters were sus' of each other (no spoilers). I don't think its unique because literally I'll be borrowing elements of WWZ and Last of Us mixed with the app game Among Us and they have superpowers.

Nothing big but I'm currently in process of writing it. I have the characters, their superpowers, and a descriptive summary of the plot and the obstacles they face. Now I just have to write the dialogue and not like a plot description of a movie you see in Wikipedia.

 

I'm just putting this out there because:

  • 1) I have yet to finish one chapter and I'm not sure how many chapters I'll be writing in total. Literally everything is in process right now.
  • 2) I was thinking of having the Foreword up but I feel that if I do that people will expect to have the chapters already made and right now I have one paragraph and one dialogue (lol I ).

 

It's probably bad of me to start advertising when I don't have a chapter ready. I just have a plot summary and need to write it out.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: Should I put it up already? And would you be interested in reading?

 

This is my first long story since when I was 14 that I feel motivated to write (in my head but not on paper). I feel that if I write it it'll be like those book in stores or movies that are a flop that no one reads and goes straight to DVD or a cheap bookstore.

If it was a one-shot it would be different because it's summarized in one chapter but this one, since it is multichaptered, I feel that it might start off strong but because I'm rusty at long stories I'll lose the reader and probably get no feedback to tell me if I lack description. I don't really care about "I want to be #1" it's more so because I haven't dived into stories with adventure and character development. I would like feedback is what I'm saying.

Maybe I'm overthinking but I want to describe what I saw in my dream but my vocabulary I feel is so child-like that I wouldn't know how to describe - for example, a cave.

Yeah, I don't  know how to end this but that's all I have to say.

If you could take this poll it would be great and maybe comment, give feedback on the bulletpoints I put here previously (no pressure tho).
