A character who has a magical object that does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to. Like a pair of shoes that are supposed to make you run fast but instead make you stick to the ground and waddle like a duck.
A character with a really strange phobia, like being afraid of round things. So every time they see a ball or a plate, they start screaming and running away. It's a simple yet effective way to add humor.
Magical mishaps. Like a wizard who tries to turn his tea into coffee but instead turns it into a frog that starts croaking and hopping around in his cup. This kind of situation can bring a lot of humor to the story.
You can add a talking animal. For example, a squirrel that gives advice to the main character in a very sassy way. It could say things like 'If you want to find the hidden treasure, you should stop looking under every rock like a fool and use your nose instead!'
You could add some unexpected cameos of famous characters for a laugh. Like having SpongeBob show up in a serious superhero comic.
Putting up a picture of you and your friends in a really awkward group pose can be funny. Or share a story about the time you got lost in a very familiar place because you were distracted. A video of you attempting to do a difficult yoga pose and ending up in a tangled mess on the floor is also a great funny thing to put on your story.
Well, in a dystopian story, you could say 'The curfew is so early, the bats are still out when we have to be in. I think they're plotting against us too now.' Also, 'The food pellets they give us taste like recycled dreams. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.' And 'The mind - control helmets? They look like really bad hair dryers. I bet they won't even style your hair while they mess with your thoughts.'
Interesting characters. They can make the story vivid and engaging.
In most cases, no. A story is usually created by the author and others shouldn't add to it without permission.
Yes, they can. If it's a collaborative project or an open - ended story - sharing situation, others might contribute elements to your story. For example, in a group writing exercise or a community - based storytelling event.
