Ideas

1. Jason is a very average kind of guy. That is, until he hits his head on the wall of his closet and falls into a parallel universe. Is it real? Or is it just an insane person with a head injury?
2. Chris can hear hushed whispers in his apartment late at night. One night, he gets so sick of it that he searches his house for the source of the whispering. Big mistake. Christ has stumbled upon a Vampiritic Cult, and they’re looking for new recruits. Once he’s been bitten and becomes dreadfully pale, there’s no turning back…
3. Satan is angry. Very, very angry. Christopher, a recently damned soul, has escaped from hell and made it back on earth. As a baby. He can think coherent thoughts, but he’s still just a baby. Christopher isn’t too happy either. Not only can he not communicate without being put on a pedestal, but there’s five hundred demons chasing after him. And he has an increasing need for a blanket.

If done right, I think that the 3rd option can be a really good comic satire on religion....if that's where you want to go with it.....I kind of picture it a la mode de Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett

When I first read this post this one was my first choice, because it's the type of thing I'd read...

i'd like number one but it would depend how you wrote it. i'd think you'd focus more on the fantasy and i'd find that boring

For No. 1 : This will be good idea if you wont reveal in reality what happens is he sane or insane. But it is important how you develop the idea

No.2: It is a common subjecct what makes it different is the way you narrate it. You can make a comic or tragic or even horror one.

and about the last ..... this can be a good comic chase scenes. Make it funny or serious it depends on you.

I started writing Number Three, and I have to say it's turning out pretty good :D.

Maybe you could post two separate versions: an extract and a complete copy.

The third one seems the most interesting.
