I wrote this really quick and was wondering if it would be a good idea for a short story. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
"A brave female knight known for her many victories in battle across the land goes on a mission to return the kidnapped prince of their kingdom back home. However, on the long trek back, they fall in love and decide not to ever return, for back at the kingdom the prince had already been betrothed to another woman."
0 posts, welcome to Facepunch. There's the small twist of the female knight but beyond that it's a recirculated story
As in its been used before?
If it was written very well and was a comedy then, I think it would be.
The idea of a hero saving a trapped individual is mad old.
If done right it wouldnt matter how recirculated it is.

Ill give the comedy part a strong consideration
It doesn't sound all that inspired an idea but that'll make it all the more impressive if you pull it off.
Don't be so hung up on the idea/premise. Ideas are cheap and plentiful. Execution and style is where it's at.
If you develop this a bit more it could work. I admire your bravery on posting your story because a lot of people on the internet can be harsh rather than helpful. But the whole main character rescues someone is a bit of a tired format.
Like CanadianBill stated.
It's hard to criticise one of the oldest ideas ever
I mean even Disney would tweak it more than that for an adaptation
It will entirely come down to the ability and imagination of whoever writes it, because it is a good idea. (It's just not [i]your[/i] idea)
