Wordsmith's Forge

Idea #1:

A cyberpunk story where a mysterious woman with unregistered augments comes to see a detective, telling him that Corporation C is on the verge of discovering technology that will shift the balance of power between the Corporations forever. She wants him to help her steal it. The detective is baffled as to why his ocular implant is telling him that the woman is neither telling the truth nor lying.

Idea #2:

A rip-roaring space adventure in the Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy vein, except that this crew is a bunch of pirates. They disable ships, then rob everyone on board. This time, though, they accidentally took out the life support system in the ship they attack. They decide to take the crew aboard their own ship and drop them off at the nearest planet. Along the way, the captain of the pirates falls in love with the captain of the victim ship, who absolutely despises her. When they get to the planet, the ship’s capitain demands that they take him back to the ship with the parts to fix it. To the crew’s surprise, the pirate captain agrees. On their way back, they are attacked by pirate hunters, and in the ensuing battle/adventures, the pirate captain impresses him with her skills and grace under fire. He gradually begins to fall for her too.
