First things first: not bad news. Also, not good news. It's bad for me but good for others, really. The simple thing is, i'm too imaginative. My mind runs wild with ideas in my free time, and I can't exactly write stories around all of them, can I? Some of them I don't have the knowledge, but for the rest, I don't want to have more than the two novels i'm already writing. And I predict, that without anything strange happening, those will go on for a LONG while. And so, I thought I'd write my ideas up here so they don't disappear. Other authors, feel free to use them, just make sure you reference me in the synopsis or something.
1) Haven't really thought about this for a while, so what I remember is sketchy. Basically, the idea is somewhat based on the light novel 'world customize creator'.
The MC is transported to another world, and like any good reader of light novels and reincarnation stories, tries all the standard keywords, status, log out, options, the usual stuff. Upon trying 'options', he is informed that he does not have administrator access, but as he was the first to ever try using the command, he is awarded the unique magic system 'options magic' or something along those lines.
The idea I had around the magic was that he would be able to see all the various statistics of objects and equipment: size, shape, hardness, attack power and so on. And each statistic would have a slider. By reducing one slider, he could open up 'points' on the object that he could use to increase other sliders. For instance, by decreasing the size of a sword, he could drastically increase its sharpness, weight or hardness. Or perhaps decrease its hardness to massively increase the size.
I didn't really have any ideas for plot in this one.
2) The idea for this one was to be a cultivator in a game like world. The MC would reincarnate into this world with all his memories, and due to coincidence or circumstance end up with the monk class. He would on a whim try absorbing the energy around him and condense it into a dantian. He succeeds, thus becoming able to use qi insteak of a monk's ki.
No ideas for plot beyond that.
3) This one I reckon has some potential. I got this idea when thinking about how to do an SAO-esque idea while still being original. What I came up with was that instead of 'If you die in the game you die in real life', it's 'everyone who didn't go into the game is dead in real life', leaving the gamers and the game devs the only survivors of the human race. As for how this happens, got no clue, came up with this a few mins ago. Further plot? what's that?
4) The idea for this one is a cultivator, through coincidence, ends up on modern earth. Earth, of course, has no cultivators. The story revolves around various governments attempting to control him and him trying to live a quiet life while simultaneously attempting to find ways back to the main world of cultivation. Possibility of him getting there eventually with some appropriated technology from earth.

5) I didn't do this one because it would require too much thinking. Game like world, title system. Titles in this world all have various effects, some useful, some fairly useless. The goal of the MC in this one is to collect as many titles as possible, useless or no, and (just came up with this but) eventually gets the title (or unique class) 'title collector' after collecting a hundred titles, which gives him an increase in stats (either percentile or flat increase) per title he has.
...You can kinda see now why I didn't want to write this one, can't you? Name idea is - 'I need titles' or 'I gotta get titles'
6) Got a name for this one if you wanna use it - Epic of the bard. It won't change much in this one if he/she is reincarnated or transported into the world, so do whatev for that. Basically, the protagonist gets the unique ability to give buffs to other people by singing songs - each song gives a different effect depending on the lyrics and general tone. Naturally, the protag picks what he/she thinks is the most obvious class with an ability like that - bard. The only problem is, while he/she has heard hundreds or thousands of songs back on earth, he/she can't remember the full lyrics of more than a few songs.
Naturally, this causes other adventurers to completely dismiss him/her as a potential party member, especially because of common sense that says that the bard class has no combat potential. Later on - potentially much later on because of how hard it would be for him/her to level up - he/she unlocks the class skill 'musical memory' allowing him/her to perfectly recall anything musical. All of a sudden, there are hundreds of songs perfectly clear in his/her memory, allowing him/her to become instantly more useful. Now there's just one thing - how will he/she get others to believe him/her?
7) I pretty much got this one when I though how game-world central most of my other ideas were. The idea of this one is reverse reincarnation. A resident of a game-like world/fantasy world dies and is reincarnated into modern earth. Growing up in extreme confusion with an entirely different common sense to the other residents of the planet, the protagonist has to grow up through the trials of being regarded as a child, psychological councelling, and worst of all: school.
Oh, and they may or may not still believe monsters exist in this world and have thus been secretely training their body from a very early age. Not really sure if magic should be allowed, but that's up to whether you want to involve shady organisations wanting to 'aquire' him/her for research.
And that's it for now. See what I mean? My mind is crazy. And yeah, I know, I'm being real original (sarcasm) having most of them being reincarnation/transported to another world stories. But I read so many of them that it's hard to think of much else. I think at one point I had an idea for an apocalypse type novel, but that's disappeared from my mind. I got so excited about it too...
Extra text so it isn't the exact some as the one on my other knowledge and therefore hopefully goes through.
