I'm trying to write a story. Maybe the begining of a "saga". I've got the feel and the concept of what I want, but no inspiration for a storyline. Where can I get help? (preferably some website or other online means I don't have to pay for). What I need is inspiration for a storyline that is original and epic, and for it to be complex and deep. Call me crazy if you like.

Read books of the same genre that you want to write in. It helps significantly.

What genre do you want to write your story in?

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Check the Library. Not the forum, the building with all of the books.

Trust me, it will be far easier if you come up with what you want to write about on your own. If you want some inspiration for Sci-Fi/Fantasy, then read the books by Mercedes Lackey, Frank Herbert, Tamora Pierce, and Garth Nix. They are damn good authors.

Why did you say "not the forum" instead of "not the hell-hole infested with Flood but contains the all-important index"? I think we're on to something here: Do people associate B-net more with Halo than the gameplay itself?

Oh, and if anyone wants to discuss this, bring it to another thread. I don't want to hijack this guy's operation, here.
