An 'unstuck in time story' typically focuses on a journey through time that defies the normal sequence. It could be a story where the main character is a time traveler who doesn't have control over their destinations in time. They might end up in historical battles, important moments in art and culture, or even in the midst of future technological revolutions. This kind of story allows for a lot of exploration of how different times are connected and how one person's actions in these different times can have far - reaching consequences.
First, you need to create a character. This character could be an ordinary person who suddenly becomes 'unstuck in time'. Then, decide on the different time periods they will visit. For example, you could choose the Roaring Twenties and the far - flung future. Next, think about how the character reacts to each time period. Do they struggle to adapt? Finally, weave a plot that ties all these time - hopping experiences together, like a mystery that can only be solved by traveling through time.
Perhaps he gets unstuck when he realizes a key detail or remembers a forgotten solution. Maybe it's a combination of physical effort and a sudden inspiration.
One interesting story could be about a ghost that witnessed historical events and is now trying to make sense of the modern world. It might be stuck in a time loop of its own death moment and through the story, we learn about the era it came from.
The OC could use its own unique abilities or traits. If it has some special magical power that hasn't been fully utilized yet, it can be the key to getting unstuck. For instance, if the OC has the ability to communicate with magical creatures, it could ask a helpful creature for assistance in getting out of the difficult situation in the fanfic.
Another way would be to seek help from other characters within the story who have some sort of meta - knowledge. There might be an old wizard or a super - intelligent alien who understands the nature of the stories they're in. Spider - Man could team up with them to figure out a solution. They could try to disrupt the flow of the story, for example, by creating a paradox. If they can make the story's internal logic break down, it might free Spider - Man from being stuck in the story.
