THREE IDEAS DEVELOPMENT

IDEA 1: CROAK

A die-hard journalism student, determined to write a big story and get into the business, latches onto every small thing life throws at her. Fortunately, this small thing in particular grows and grows - until she realises she might just be in over her head. What else to do from there but dive right in, headfirst?

We follow our protagonist, Fen Marsh, as she uncovers and unravels a mystery way larger than herself - it's something that eventually forces her to spend time with others and get to know them. It has themes of opening up, as opposed to keeping your thoughts and feelings to yourself. Her interaction with her brother at the start of the series is conveyed purely through texts and calls, in contrast with the end of the series wherein she'll be talking to others freely and making time for them.

IDEA 2: STUFFED

A witch takes a trip to the big city when his father dies to make his fortune. His intention is to build up the taxidermy business they shared in the village he just left, but life all on his own in a city is scarier than he thought it would be. With some help from new friends, he finds his footing.

Alister, our protagonist for this series, is a witch that can communicate with the dead. Taxidermy animals are his trade, which brings an element of comedy because they definitely talk to him. It also allows us to explore a magic system without the use of any effects in particular. This series would explore themes of anxiety, friendship and acceptance.

IDEA 3: PART-TIME CUPID 
(accidentally wrote the wrong title on my mindmap)

A self-obsessed student accidentally discovers a talent for matchmaking people around her. Unbeknownst to her, somebody is watching her do this - and that someone isn't what you'd expect. Follow the bizarre life of Violette Pith as she navigates a world driven by love, which has never interested her before.

Violette is contacted by Cupid, a mysterious and supernatural figure (and possibly a god) that dislikes somebody doing their job for them. It will cover topics of love, meddling with others' business and sexuality - I want to teach people about asexuality and aromance, which means that you aren't interested in other people sexually or romantically, and the fact that it doesn't make you distant or confusing. Violette, who isn't interested in people, starts off stereotypically closed off from others but grows as a person throughout the show.
