Ideas for comic!

I have to draw a four+ page comic for a coursera course I'm doing and I am TOTALLY BLOCKED.
I'm thinking I'll just adapt part of an existing story, either one of mine or something in the public domain.
Current thoughts tend towards Northanger Abbey but I am open to suggestions! Are there any public domain works, or original/fanfic of public domain works by me that you'd like to see me draw a short story about? Any art of mine you'd be curious to see expanded into a longer story (and have plot ideas for)? AUs are totally welcome but not nonsense crossovers because then I get tangled up figuring out how it WORKS.
It has to be accessible to random strangers so no asking me to write an ending to A Circle of Stars :P Also there is no guarantee I'll actually draw any of it comics are haaaard. BUT I WILL TRY
Also: Penny, I have not forgotten your Asama & Korra prompt, I plan on drawing it the moment the show gets them to a point where I'm not all "Asama & Korra ;_;"
ALSO speaking of AO3 today was FEMSLASHEX REVEALS YAYYY. I drew some Velanna/Sigrun. And I got TWO gifts: Undercover by kiki_miserychic, which is some sexy Root/Shaw art, and Quantum Relations by Settiai which is a very cute EDI/Sam fic.
This course is good but hardddd. I had to write TWO ESSAYS. With an introduction and a thesis and a CONCLUSION. urrrrggghhhhhh essayssssss. Of course we got half marks for even trying because coursera. But the peer assessors said I LACKED A COHERENT THESIS. Luckily we get to do self evaluation too so there was a "you are amazing and all your ideas are gold" to balance things out.

Date: 2014-11-03 08:17 am (UTC)coughs Yes I totally didn't just make up characters I thought would look cool without coming up with any coherent backstory >.> (I do have a feel for them as people)
Though with two votes for Utahraptor rider I may have to see if I can construct something!
I don't think I'll draw it, but I did write up Riko's story http://alias-sqbr.tumblr.com/post/94073908189/original-fiction-the-call-to-adventure if you didn't see it already, though it turned into a summary at the end when I ran out of steam.
