I'd prefer original stories, because I want people to develop more than just character interaction. A lot goes into a 'GOOD' manga or anime, such as:

Setting (Real world or fictional?) If real world, what time period? If the past, alternate set of events unfolded? If the future, what events unfolded between our time and the stated time?

The REASON for the story: Characters aside, what are the goals of this story? How can we relate?

Then you get to figure out the fun stuff like genres etc.

Then, characters. These help connect the dots of the story, so they gotta be good obviously.


edit: I have a lot of ideas, I am thinking I will probably do the short story. I like it for a lot of reasons, most notably being that you don't need any fancy programs and that a story is something you can work on in pieces pretty easily, at home or even at work....or in the bathroom, or at Denny's, or at....ok I'll stop now. People get good ideas at random all the time; why not write em down, make a story and have a chance to win some of Eep's not-so-hard earned FG?

Depends how long I decide to make it. I was thinking just a blueprint initially, like not even creating a story. However, if more people are interested in a story, I can extend the deadline to past xmas.
