What do you think of my story idea? Is it bad?

Okay so the main character (girl)) gets kidnapped by a mentally unstable man. She's mentally traumatized by what she expierienced like he beat her and starved and sometimes cut her and stuff. Well when he was beating her she gets hit in the head really hard by him and she gets amnesia. The girl doesnt remember anything about herself or about where she is but she knows she has to get away from the psychopath keeping her hostage and she manages to escape. Once she escapes she realizes she's all alone with no home, no place to sleep, and no idea who she is. While trying to find a place to stay the night she runs into Baine. When Baine finds her in this helpless state of mind he decides to help her. He takes her to a dr. Who tells them she has amnesia. Bane try's to help her remember who she is. And they end up falling in love with eachother. The girl has flashbacks sometimes of her past when she sees things familiar.

How do you think it should end? Should the kidnapper find her again? Should I make the beginning the part where she gets amnesia and doesnt remember anything and then reveal her past of getting kidnapped later in her flashbacks or something? So that the part of who she is is a mystery.

And also what are some unique but normal names for the main character? And A different name for Baine wud be good to.What do you think of my story idea? Is it bad?
I think it's a brilliant plot. Don't change anything. It would be nice if you could run the two stories parellelly: One starts with the girl (no memory) knowing she has to escape this guy, and the starts with the girl at home or what ever, all the way upto where she gets kidnapped. Chapters can alternate, and the final chapter can be the conclusion of both lines- and the story's gone full circle.



Baine is good as it is, because it sounds like 'bane' which is something you should avoid, right? It would be really ironic if Baine is the one who helps her, as opposed to being typical of his name and being her downfall or something.



The flashbacks would be a cool way of joining up the two parallel story lines so that the reader can realize (not at once though) this is the same girl in both stories. You could have a flashback in story A, which actually happens in story B later, so readers can connect the two.



I'm afraid I'm no good with names, but a very common name for the girl (not revealed in the main storyline- kidnapped thing- because she can't remember) would be great, because you don't really expect anything to happen to the girl- next- door-, do you?



Hope that helps!What do you think of my story idea? Is it bad?
Kidnapper Bruiser and Baine should be revealed as lovers complicit in the crime.

The story should be told "in media res."What do you think of my story idea? Is it bad?
Thats actually REALLY good!!.. i dislike books but this is something id take time to read.. i honestly dont know how it cud end.. i say if you created such a great plotline i dont see why you can do an even better ending!
Are you sure that's night and not simply a strange case of daytime?
