The Blank Book of Untold Tales

Summary:

This is an idea I have, would love to see it get green-lit, but would love feedback even more! :)

The Blank Book of Untold Tales

Agent Rogers 14 Aug 2019 13:32

This is a book that appears as a brown book with all blank pages, and it tells original stories. Example: Someone will open the book and it will ask, "Would you like to hear a story?". Say no and the book will go silent until closed and reopened. Say yes and the book will tell you an original story, with full narration and . It is a different story every single time, and the same story only repeats when it is a different person none of these stories can be found anywhere but the book. The one catch is that the book refuses to tell stories that have a sad or tragic ending. This book is self aware and has a fully developed personality and refuses to tell sad stories. You can ask the book to tell a story, but if the book has a sad ending or gets to be too terrible, the book will stop telling the story and will remain silent until closed and reopened.

So the anomaly is okay although, it can be perceived as similar to 2130. Aside from that in mind, would you have a narrative planned out, like what classifies as a sad story? Why doesn't it enjoy them? What does it do when someone keeps asking for one?

The narrative is it's an author who died at their own hand and who's soul became one with the book. Since the author never lived to tell their stories, they tell them through the book, but can't stand sad endings, so it decides to not tell those. When someone keeps asking for one, it will eventually give in, but it will proceed with a sad tone.
