NYTimes is chock full of good story ideas. As an aspiring fiction political writer I like to steal the ideas that actually happen in real life and create fictional plot lines around them–producing a realistic-style fiction. Certain even produce excellent ideas for fiction.
Ideas like legalizing marriage in Iowa.
Ideas like Obama’s Normandy beach walk on the 66th anniversary of D-Day
Ideas like the G-20 summit meeting not producing any benefits for the sick and poor in Africa while shelling out trillions in bailout money to rich corporateers.
