That's right, I'm talking original fiction, not fanfic. I want to start writing some original stuff again, but my brain is just not working that way. Anyone have any ideas to help me kickstart? Throw out anything--I just need to start writing some ficlets and get into a groove again.

Alright- good girl works for guy who she believes is bad. As story progresses, she realizes maybe he's not that bad. Or he is bad but he's also good. Confused yet? She is. They fall in love. His trademark line is "I don't care. You're wasting my time."

Switch it up- bad girl gets in trouble, winds up becoming friends with the cop who arrested her. Despite his best efforts to avoid her and her best efforts to annoy him, they fall in love. He rides a motorcycle and there is a scene where she steals it. Her mother constantly calls her to check on her and the cop inadvertently becomes friendly with the mother (not that kind of friendly!).

Maybe something a little sadder? A woman reminisces about someone who loves her in college but that she was only friends with. She didn't know he was in love with her till years later when an old roommate lets it slip. She remembers things they did in college that should have clued her in.

Darker, you say? Angst isn't really my thing but we'll give it a shot anyway. Parents abandon a girl and her older brother, the older brother raises the girl, but doesn't always do right by her (brings a lot of random girls home, gets drunk and blames her for the parents leaving sometimes). Skip to present day- the older brother shows up at the girls place and insists they take a road trip. They do, and on the way, vent all their angst and harbored resentments. It can end however you choose, as long as it ends on the east coast.
