Well, I had this tiny idea of a plot.

It's about a female airship pilot who takes a journey to see her world. It will most likely be a fantasy world, since we do not have airships in the modern times.

I just can't think of a reason why she would take the journey though, or where she would take it, or what would happen in those places.

So I've got the character, but not the full story. Maybe you guys can help me out?

(I've also thought of making her best friend her mechanic, and having two other crew members, although I'm not sure of their jobs yet.)

I'm pretty sure that I want it to be just a journey though. No helping countries win a rebellion with the airship or anything of that sort.

Well perhaps she could have heard a rumor about a particular place within her world and decided to go investigate it and see the rest of the world along the way? What that rumor was, well I'll leave that up to you, but it's an idea.
Also, airships do exist in modern times, they are just not used very much as planes, helicopters and other modes of flight are more often used. The Goodyear blimp is an airship and regularly used at sporting events.

I know there are real-world blimps, but like you said, they're not as widespread as airplanes and helicopters.

I actually got it in my mind that she comes from a town that's kinda like a mecca for airships. Once in their lives, the pilots (who are very honored and celebrated) go on a sort of... spiritual journey to a holy place that is sacred to aviators. Maybe a deity that means something to them. On the way, she could explore the different towns as her and her crew get the airship serviced/resupply/etc, exploring their cultures.

And of course, her and her crew of four could remember things about their lives too. Sort of an adventure/character development kind of story. It would be very different than my norm.

Seems like it'll be a good story :]
Maybe you could figure out your plot better if you drew up some character sketches of her friend, crew, and, of course, her. Drawing a map of the area also helps. At least that's what I do.

By the way, stories can be multiple genres too if you're not sure. Once you figure it out though, please update your title.
Thanks :]
