Braiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinstoooooooooooooooooooooooorms!

Yep, it's that -- now actually monthly rather than biweekly -- time again!

That time when the heavens open up and ideas pour forth in an almighty downpour of inspiration and . . . I'm stopping there before I decide to unleash every overwrought description I can come up with. My brain has been in a weird, weird, weird place lately.

Anyway! Ideas time! At the request of the admins, we're doing a special section today dedicated to winter-themed plots, ideas, and randomness as well.

OCD is coming up, and once that's set brainstorming is go up -- get your boots and mittens and all that other snow gear stuff!

That could work, yeah. The effects of another magical plant in the book lasts for several hours after being cooked and eaten, so there's no reason the effects of the truth flower (I forget the technical name in the book) couldn't also last all day in the right circumstances.

Maybe Liir tries it in a kitchen experiment and Things Go Badly? *shamelessly volunteers someone else's character, yep!*

ALSO in the book the person who had been telling the truth forgets the conversation as soon as she steps away from the flower, so it has that cloudy lack-of-consequences thing that Piper's spell had.

I could live without the cloudy lack of consequences. I think that was a Charmed canon thing that a huge lot of us had to stand on our heads to try and get around.

I'm really neutral on that point. I liked not having the consequences for Tyler last time, but he was talking about being a terrorist. (And, of course, now he's far less OMG NO ONE MUST KNOW even if it's still not something he usually volunteers.)

Let me go home and look at the book and see if it's explained why Hattie doesn't remember and if there's a way around that. From what I remember, though, the scene just sort of handwaves about it. if someone else has a mechanism they want to use instead I'm all for that.
