I have to write a short story for a magazine...but they asked me to write a fictional one, which I'm not good at...when it comes to fiction all I can think of is the Harry Potter series...
Can anyone help me out with ideas on the story...?? Later we can mutually enhance the story by co-authoring too...

Why not do a parallel universe collision? Although I dunno if thats fiction since I actually believe in parallel universes 
Maybe do an Inception kind of fun exaggeration of the phenomenon.
Sounds good....I used to write those typ of stories in my school days..they were damn cool
Have you read Animorphs? Maybe there's an idea to replicate in some way.
Nope...I havent..do you have ebook link or something...?
No ebook links that are direct but I think you'll find the full series in torrents on sites like pirate bay. Its pretty worth the download, its not just limited to "touch and morph" it has quite a lot of stories intertwining about aliens and how they see our planet, and there's also a story in there where they use the Animorphs base to look at how the dinosaurs became extinct
Okk...I'll search on torrents
piracy is illegal
Aditya, which genre and what's the target audience of the magazine? Unless you write a story that would appeal to the magazine's audience, they won't accept it.
It's mainly youth-based magazine...the target audiences are between age group 15 to 25
Male or female? If it's male, you can try your hand on Sci-fi. If's its female, you can try on topics such as independence or relationships. First narrow down the genre. That would help you. And then you can find any other blogger to help you in that. If you want Sci-Fi, you can reach out to TF.
Both...sci-fi is so commön...I want to write a strory about special powers or something
Sixth sense or clairvoyance? Or magical powers?
I have read sixth sense and magical powers...
Hmmm. I can give you an idea by the evening through Indimail. See if that works for you.
I will be waiting for that..plz don't forget
I will try to not to forget but if I do (as you already know me that's a high possibility 
), please remind me.
Sixth sense or clairvoyance? Or magical powers?
i'd love to read this
i have written some stories.. since 2008.. and honestly, the sad ones work better.. as in they re more popular.. try to get a theme, could be anything... try looking out in the world.. a tea seller... how sad and mundane his life could be.. but maybe he has a darker side.. maybe he was rich once...
a new trending style in prose is interwining of plots... that is people write 3 tiny plots.. which feel independent but are interconnected.. like the tea seller plot only.. could be one.. you could have a rich family who lost their son... and a girl dying of cancer,, later relate it as the tea seller is the son who ran way and got disinherited.. ahd a daughter, who got cancer... now.. will he look back to his family for help? or his pride become an obstruction
there i created a plot right there
Wow. I seriously liked the plot
i had done some 55 fictions on that line, all were independent as well as interconnected
ND, I will read that. What's the title?
