I said that I wanted to write something fun and I realize that the ideas I listed may not seem like fun stories.
To be clear, the fantasy idea is definitely a fun one, albeit with elements of conflict and such as necessary to make it an interesting story.
The silly horror story doesn’t sound like it would be fun, but it definitely might be – or not, now that I think of it.
I have to admit that the SF story would not really be fun, but it is familiar to my brain – notwithstanding the constant changes in plot elements – and while serious it is not a dark story. That doesn’t sound like so much fun either, does it?
The alternate history/pseudo-steampunk one would be fun in parts and will be partly in nature because it is an adventure story, and it sure would be a blast to write.
So, that’s half. Not so much fun in there. I either have to change my list, redefine my idea of fun or change my criteria. Or pick one of those two stories. Oh well, with my luck I’ll come up with some other idea next week, that is fun, but with no plot, then I’ll get hooked on that idea and I’ll have no clue what to do.
Now that sounds like fun.

If it's not so much fun, it sounds like work. Since you previously stated you are concentrating on activities that will prepare you to return to work, I don't think you should have much fun at all. Shall I post one of those announcements about how you get 104 days off per yr (Sat & Sun) and the lights will go out in the bathroom after 60 secs?
I just want the story to be fun. I didn't want to work on a dark story, and boy do I have some dark stories.
Is that TMI again?
Oh, if you're going to be so insistent on fun, I think you should go with porn. :=)
Now that's a great idea!
