Over the past few months i've been trying to produce a strip of my own....
Still no success *sigh*
But i do have characters! Three in fact. 2 guys and a girl (And a pizza place????) (Not likely!) but anyway: 1 puk rocker, 1 guy who's just trying to be normal, and a goth Flamenco Dancer (That's the girl)
Does anyone have a plotline that they want to contribute?? Ill bake you a cake!
Does anyone have 50 cants I can borrow...

Take something from your own life. Have them meet randomly. Have the flamenco dancer run over the punk rocker's guitar... Make it up out of fortune cookie predictions... Play mad libs! Rabid ferrets! Eek!
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad

Well, I would say....
Once you truly know the characters, you don't have to try to force them into any shenanigans. They will do stuff.... It will flow.... They will be who they are, in their world, and stuff will happen.
Of course, this will often be disjointed stuff, like real life, with all loose ends and wonkiness. If you want a tighter plot, that takes more work.
Or at least, that's how it is for me.
So I say, get to know everything about these people, and then you will know about their lives, and then, there will be stuff for you to describe and explain to the audience, and voila! Instant story. Just add water.
