: Re: How do I turn a "screensaver" into an actual story? I am capable of dreaming up interesting settings and even placing things in a world, but I have trouble dreaming up characters and plot.

I had the same problem when I was a kid, and I solved it by understanding the concept of Action.

In your stories you have people (characters). It's not a story until they DO something, and this something changes something else.

So put a guy in your amazing setting, and let something happen to him, or make him do something. And remember that stories are built on but. Rick is a skilled scavenger, but one day he gets arrested by the corporation. Jenny wants to become a jet pilot but she gets kicked out of the academy. B3X7 is a dutiful droid, but it discovers to have feelings.
