[offtopic] I watched the video you posted in your sig, good job! 

I like your car posters! 

In the video I mean 

I might need some when I get to the middle of my story, but not right now. I'll probably come here for help eventually.

Okay.

(I thouht you were on vacation.  )

Cool. I can't write children stories. This is what it would turn out to be:

Bob had an apple. "Eat your apple," his mom would always say. "NO! I don't like apples," Bob screamed. He ran to his room. "Bob, an apple a day keeps the doctor away," his mom told him. Bob didn't like doctors. "OK. I'll eat my apple." Bob ate the apple.
The moral of the story? Eat your apples.
The end.

(Made up on the spot. I'm known for stupid improvisations.  )

Think of a story involving a pig with a jetpack.

Ok, I've thought of three. Now what sort of style plot do you want? A childrens story? An older childrens story which is more serious? Or an even more serious and more complicated story?

the second or third one, you can pick.

That's cool, but it is not on-topic.
Besides, OP isn't even on the forums right now.

QUICK, SAVE YOUR POST BY THINKING OF A PLOT FOR SOMETHING

Actually, increase that to six.    Ok, I'll tell you what they are.

1. A pig attempts to break into a meat factory using a jet pack and destroy it. This would be very lighthearted.

2. A pig learns of a plot by anti-meat fanatics to destory a meat factory, and the pig attempts to stop them (using a jet pack, of course). This would be more serious, but also fairly lighthearted, due to the nature of a pig with a jet pack. 

3. A millionaire is obssessed with putting (non functional) jet packs on animal statues. He then dies, and several people try to steal the statues, due to their incredible value. The most valueable of them all is the pig one (perhaps because it was his first).

4. There's an pig (actually an alien, but it looks like a pig) which goes around space fighting crime (basically a pig version of Buzz Lightyear.

I can't really remember the other 2 plot ideas, sorry. But hopefully you'll like one of these four.

1. A pig attempts to break into a meat factory using a jet pack and destroy it. This would be very lighthearted. Viable, but would be hilariously short. Illustrated kids book material.

2. A pig learns of a plot by anti-meat fanatics to destory a meat factory, and the pig attempts to stop them (using a jet pack, of course). This would be more serious, but also fairly lighthearted, due to the nature of a pig with a jet pack.    The pig would support them. Meat factories have dead animals such as himself . . .

3. A millionaire is obssessed with putting (non functional) jet packs on animal statues. He then dies, and several people try to steal the statues, due to their incredible value. The most valueable of them all is the pig one (perhaps because it was his first).
Wow. Get in deep with the psychotics of this guy. Make him a gigantic public figure known for his insanity, and then have his death be on the news and stuff.

4. There's an pig (actually an alien, but it looks like a pig) which goes around space fighting crime (basically a pig version of Buzz Lightyear. TIME LO- PIG

Lol. Well I think it's probably particularly challenging with super hero stories. The thing is, because they're children stories, they can't be very violent. The obvious thing to do in super hero stories, is for the good guy to fight the bad guys. But you can't do that in a childrens story, because it's violent. So one really has to think of other ways the hero can save the day, and be heroic. And that requires a lot more thinking than just having the goodie fight baddies. And while it is a challenge, I like it, because it's a good way of expanding my story writing abilities.

Try watching some older Spiderman cartoons. They have them on Netflix, and if you dnt have Netflix you can try YouTube or ssomething. It wont be completely accurate because Its visual, but it will give you some ideas of how to portray the violence in a non-violent way.
