I've wrote a lot, mainly poems and sports reports for a local newspaper. I have always wanted to do fiction but often get overwhelmed with what characters I add, what plot points I have, what each persons motives should be, if the story has content that could be deemed too risky or offensive.
However I have wrote several short stories featuring entirely fictional rosters of professional wrestlers and the storylines within them, so basically, stories within a story if that makes sense. Some of it can be very cathartic and rewarding to write, especially when I'm stressed about something.
I often write fantasy horror, delving into some pretty nasty existential scenarios, so I totally get being worried about being too risky or offensive.
Ex. I once built a polytheistic pantheon of gods, but the gods could do literally nothing in order to preserve humankind’s free will. They even allowed an apocalyptic scenario to happen because, hey, a human chose that fate.
I’m a little afraid stuff like that could lead people down some pretty dark paths without help to sort it out lol
