I’ve seen stories based on some of these.
Kingdom that works with “monster” races: The anime “Fluffy Paradise” comes to mind, and if that doesn’t fit the bill, statistically there’s an anime that HAS to. Various animes starring beast-tamers also come to mind.
Wishing for a demon to turn human: I had an idea for a story like that, only it was a genie; the first two wishes were for the genie to 1) Understand the implications completely, and 2) Be able to choose not to grant the wish; and I didn’t know where to go from there.
Demon king treating you better that you had been: The anime/manga “Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun”. Fantastic story. Only difference is there’s currently no demon king, so it’s the whole underworld that ends up treating our human protagonist well (and it’s implied that the human may end up becoming the new demon king).
Omniscient but easily distracted narrator: Makes me think of the webcomic “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.” Don’t know how easily distracted the narrator is, but he’s definitely playing a different game than everybody else, and not just because of advanced knowledge.
Vampire who is fighting those avenging them: Make it not a copy-and-paste of Darth Vader and you have my attention.
Just about anything involving aliens from this list: Something like it has been done through the whole “humans are space orcs” trope (Fun trope, BTW).
Regularly kidnapped by the villain, hero doesn’t save you this time: Literally Megamind. Also: one of the greatest less-well-known movies in existence.
Wizard who knows one spell: Disclaimer since I haven’t actually seen this one, but I recall something like that in the anime KonoSuba.
I actually had an epiphany about omniscience the other day. Knowing every possible outcome means you’d never know what was about to happen really. Think along the lines of infinite multiple timelines that diverge along individual choices. What timeline is this? Is it the one where I enjoy my hamburger, or is it the one where I find a pubic hair under the lettuce? Oh! This cheeseburger is great! Shit! It’s the one where I find the hair on the last bite.
But because the character is the only omniscient person, no one around them can really understand why the person they turn to for guidance & wisdom is more clueless than they are, so the character is always indecisive & stressed.
Is there a collection of the works from these prompts on Tumblr? Or could we create a collection on AO3? 😏
