This troper oftentimes has brilliant dreams, which are a pain to wake up from. That is why I plan on turning my dreams into books and TV scripts. Some of the wackier plot aspects of my stories have come to me in dream form.

You too? This troper has dreams that he wants to do that for-but can never remember them, since he has a top bunk on a bunk bed, and by the time he gets down and to his desk with his notepad, he forgot them. Didn't happen with two, though-dreaming of being with Shaggy and Scooby-Doo in a gladiator arena, and fighting off and escaping Freddy Krueger with the help of Issac Dain inside of a hotel and its parking lot. Yeah.

Neopie also.

This troper wants to make her dreams into a video game, with the various {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s of various parts of her psyche as characters. She fully intends to hang lampshades on just how egotistical this makes her.

This troper has set out writing a story based on a dream he had. As someone who found himself suffering from ParentalAbandonment, it was only natural that a dream would see me aiding someone that had befallen the same fate. Rather than depress itself with a vivid recollection of an AbusiveParents story, the person in the dreams that needed help was given up to scientists at a young age due to possessing fox ears and a fox tail. As the novelization of the dream marched on, my almost-stream-of-consciousness style of writing made it easy to accidentally slip in a tribute to my uncle Brian, who died before I was even in kindergarten. The resulting scene felt so nice to write that I left it in. Besides, it patched up a lot of plot holes and explained a lot of the motivation for one of the main characters.

This troper has actually planned on making a manga that is based on her dreams, which are posted in Mind Screw (it's the one that starts the examples with monsters and ends in heavy metal concerts, which are my favorite). I can usually remember my dreams, even ones I had when I was like 5. I'm in the process of going to college now so I can learn what I need to.

By proxy, all blogs and memoirs are more or less this trope

This Troper usually finds the ideas that make her think "Should Write a Book About This}} I should write a fanfic about this" in every day life, such as reading books, watching movies, playing video games, and her dreams. Heck, one of her most notorious fanfics, {{Geishas of Winter}}, was inspired by a dream she had and romance novels set in Asia (mainly China) or in Asian-American areas of the U.S.

This troper had thought about writing stories about his two trips to Europe and posting them on Fiction Press, though he's forgotten how most of them went and doesn't think people would want to read about every conversation he'd had with the friends he'd made, along with ramblings about wandering, lost, around Rome or Dublin.

This troper always thought there should be a TV Tropes Dictionary. Or I guess encyclopedia. Whichever.

This usually happens to This troper after a session of role-playing games. And actually, some stories can be found on his blog.

This troper found himself thinking "Holy shit, they have PERSONALITIES" while playing with some custom characters on Soul Calibur 4, that he had somehow subconsciously gave them. The logical "I NEED TO WRITE ABOUT THEM" came soon after.

You are not alone

Many, many times I have 'epic' dreams that I think would be perfect in book form, but as I review them in my head while doing other things, I realize that many important 'plot points' make ''no sense'' in the real world.

This troper has talked about this with his friends that also ride the bus... there have been many interesting incidents to say the least.

This troper has been told many times she should write an autobiography someday, specifically recounting the odd things that have happened to her in her life.

My imagination is wonderful, and can pull an amazingly detailed backstory out of a single image. So I get this every five seconds.

are you me?

Aethelflaeda, is that you?

While playing Final Fantasy Tactics, this troper wondered one day what it would be like if Ramza's sister was the one who was captured and killed. This set off a huge train of thought which lead to me writing a book about a character like Ramza who goes through this. Granted, there are many diffirences, but the main idea is still there.

I should write a book about my life, because so much crazy crap happens. Sometime last month, my friend was over at my house and we were playing on The Sims 2, when the computer just switched off. We were confused, and then we saw smoke coming from the computer. I ran into the lounge, shouting "DAD! THE COMPUTER'S ON FIRE!" Dad went to sort it out, and whilst he was doing that, my black lab puppy ate my dad's dinner. My friend just looked confused, and I just said "Just an average day in our household." Next day, I told everyone at school. Someone said (whilst in hysterical laughter) "That is something that only happens in films!" Yeah...

Romeo. And. Juliet. Romeo. DOESN'T. die. Nuff. Said.

Upon learning this troper is still a virgin at 23, her boyfriend asked her if she was gonna write a book about it. Her response was, "Why?"

One of this troper's works in progress has quite a few {{Genre Savvy}} characters comment they they should write books about their adventures, assuming they survive them. Can Die}} Not a lot of them do.

This Troper will probably some day write a book based off of the events of a LongRunner (3 years) HumongousMecha role play, GundamSEEDTheLongWar he used to be involved in, which was based on the events of GundamSEED set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture that featured predominantly on PrivateMilitaryContractors taking up battles in the name of countries for PlausibleDeniability due to the Treaty of Orb which has forced the Earth sphere into an EnforcedColdWar. The conflict is driven by the BalanceOfPower shifting, which is ignited by a technology leap caused by the discovery of MinovskyParticle. Eventually, the de facto Cold War turns hot.

This troper once had a dream where Miyuki Takara from LuckyStar was in a cryogenic tube. I then thought (yes, I think in my dreams) "what if the LuckyStar girls were in a sci-fi series?", and I began thinking of sci-fi shows that I watched that would fit the high-strung, funny and hyperactive cast of LuckyStar. SuzumiyaHaruhi was too obvious, and MobileSuitGundam00 was just a terrible fit. Then I thought, "y'know, Konata is really wild and crazy... she kinda reminds me of Kamina". Fast forward one year to today: I am now writing a fanfic called ''Gurren Star'', where the main four girls of LuckyStar fall into the universe of TengenToppaGurrenLagann... and funny shit happens. The first three chapters are complete, and I will begin uploading it to FanFiction.net once chapter 23 is complete.

I used to joke about writing a book that would be basically a fictionalized account of my four years in high school. Who knows, I may do it one day after all...

I just watched a tv show about a man who is in love with a life size doll of a woman. I remembered how I had a barbie doll as a kid that had no head. I decided to combine these ideas together to create a story about a relationship between a man and his headless sex doll.

My friends and I host an annual fancy dress dinner and dance party. A few years back, the latter half of it got so crazy, I just had to write about it. I've been perfecting a FourRooms-style script ever since (interlocking stories, ensemble cast, etc).

This troper's friends are encouraging her to write a book about the five years she spent working in a church. The problem is that she's not sure anyone would believe it.

This Troper once told his mother that his life should be a book or television series. As I put it: "Just imagine it! The shipping wars alone would be EPIC!"

MayorofNorthfield}} This troper has a tendency to spiral into Seinfeldian Conversations with one of his friends. Some of these conversations are hilarious. Oh, did I mention that I'm writing a sitcom? You can probably see where this is going...

This troper and her best friend have both told each other their dreams, at which point the other usually says she should write it as a book. Interestingly, they are both actually doing this - one a fantasy, the other a spy story.

I'm determined to write a film based on one of my weirdest dreams. About a guy who seemily wakes up as a 29 year old after being 14. He's married one of his school friends and has a 10 year old son who hates him, but he remembers nothing of the past 15 years. He then goes to a doctor and finds out he has a severe case of amnesia all of a sudden. He then tries to recollect all his memories and get his son to love him. Watch out for Damnesia in the near future! (it's going to be a comedy...somehow)
