Well, Powerdroid is at the ready to help, but what is the kind of story you want to tell?
Is it a coming of age story? Is it a kind of quest story? It is going to be a romantic tale? And how are these fantasy chartacters going to all play a part?
I wrote a script about a boy who discovers a colony of fairies, but i introduced lake mermaids (much like sea otters and river otters).
Perhaps a humorous book, about some great convention of these fantasy figures and how they decide to change their status from myth to reality.

oh wonderful idea power... i like that.. like the creatures become angry that they are myth creatures and they decide to make themselves real...
well i was hoping to write a story that would kinda let the mermaids, faeries and unicorns be in peace.. i didn't want to creatue to much evil but then again how could you write a story without evil in it? I just wanted it to be a story that you could really put yourself there. I wanted it to be something LIKE Jurasic Park. (The dinosaurs existing only on an island)... i wanted it to be a today type story but the faeries and creatures all exist only on the island.
I don't know, I want to include some type of funniness in the story but then i want it to be easy to imagine yourself there and make it inspirational.
Thanks powerdroid.

Remember, stories are about conflict and resolving that conflict. It doesn't have to be open warfare caliber of conflict, but certainly feelings about people and how to deal with those feelings are important.
