I think I have a Story inside me. I don't think I have any talent for writing though. It's mostly just something I fantasize about but I'm too afraid to share. My ideas are also mostly pretty niche. (I think I'll post my fic ideas in the crossover section.)

I think ever since I read The Witch of Blackbird Pond for high school I had this recurring fantasy. It was one of the assigned books I actually liked and I always had a fascination with witch trials and the illogic and unfairness of them.

My fantasy is a fish out of water story of a medium powered hero or villain gets sent back in time to either the Salem witch trials or Europe during the witch hunting mania between the 15 and 16 hundreds. Bonus points if it's a woman.

They hide their powers and try to keep their head down but occasionally help people with things like medicine from their more enlightened era and stuff like that. Sometimes they put a mask on and use their powers to do their usual superheroing. They make friends and build a quiet life until one day the witch hunters knock on their door.

My fantasy branches off into different scenarios here depending on my mood if I chose a Hero or Villain.

The villainous character starts cracking skulls, a cathartic scene of paying evil unto evil damn the consequences. Pretty much end of story.

The Hero plays dumb and hides their powers because they don't really want to hurt anyone, not even the witchhunters. But saying "Yes I have superpowers but no they don't come from Satan." isn't going to fly with the stupidly superstitious and/or charlatan witchhunter who is killing for money. So they play along until either they can come up with an idea to prove their innocence of any crime or until the judge passes sentence whatever it may be, and in the worst case scenarios like torture or death they just use their powers to break free.

Another bonus for drama if a normal female friend they made in this era is also on trial. Maybe they don't know their friend has powers. Maybe the friend will think the super person is a witch. Maybe the main character will have to give up some original plan and use their powers to save their friend.

Most of the time this story was about Spider-man because he's strong but not invincible so he would still have to earn his happy ending. He's principled to the point of being nearly incorruptible so I root for him the most in this situation. It would also be easier to believe the Spider-powered person would be treated with fear and suspicion in that community.

Venom is a good villain character as a lead because he would troll the religious minded antagonists of the story by using the symbiote to pretend he's being possessed. I kinda stopped imagining him in the roll lately because the Castlevania tv series did a scene that was exactly like my Venom scenario where a demon kills a priest villain in the way that was just too perfect for my fantasies to ever compete with. Come to think of it that flashback scene where Dracula's wife gets arrested also play out a lot like my ideas...

But recently I fell in love with the idea of Spider-Gwen in the roll. A girl character in this situation would have an even more fish out of water experience with the pressures on women in this type of society, and 80 percent of witch trials were women.

Also Olivia Octavious is regularly the lead now too.

So I think I've finally decided to bite the bullet and write the story that has been on my mind most of my life. Maybe it will be awful, I don't know. Please leave reviews with ideas and suggestions on how I can improve my writing.
