The Beginning of the World/pre-earth (around 4632 B.C.):
The War in Heaven, The creation, basically anything that happened before humans.

Biblical era: Basically any events in the Bible, or any of the Bible canon, basically anything in the times in which was recorded in the Bible. Even non-religious events based in that time.

I do not actually have any plots for the previous two, but, these are included in works showing historical events. If you want to do a story based in either time, including anything about extinct animals before this time, like dinosaurs.

Below are the plots I would like to do, paired with a time period and a description. Note: if you usually do modern stories, do not automatically choose a modern plot because it is based it modern times. Eras are for organisation purposes only, and should not be your entire reason for your choice.

Extra note: These plots are open to change to suit your writing style. Always remember to play nice and enjoy writing, as this is why we are all on here. Also, I forgot to add: when messaging me with your preferred plot, please use the plot's title. If is is above, mention the specific event in which your idea is based.
