Brainstorming Post!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Apologies, apologies, apologies! We've totally flaked on this for the past couple of months. I won't speak for willbedone as far as inviting punishment, but you can make indignant noises in my direction for it if you like. *shameface*

Anyway, this is the monthly brainstorming post, and I hope this means you guys have a ton of stuff to throw into the mix today, so have at it, in the appropriate OCD thread! And they are up, so go go go!

And then there's this stuff! Which I am throwing in General Brainstorming for now, because I really don't have anything past the initial ideas.

Xena canon, as some of you may know, is absolutely riddled with crack. And Gabrielle's going to be (mostly handwavily) going through canon up through season 4 and probably a little bit of season 5 over the course of her time in Fandom. So I'd love to adapt some of the more cracky episodes as game plots.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (http://whoosh.org/epguide/girls.html) is the first one I'd love to take a shot at, not so much because it's a cracked-out spoof of vampires (they're totally vampires, except they're Bacchae and can only be killed by being staked through the heart by a shard of dryad bone) as because there is a RANDOM RAVE CLUB IN ANCIENT GREECE. There's also For Him The Bell Tolls (http://whoosh.org/epguide/him.html), which is itself a tribute to the Danny Kaye movie The Court Jester, and would basically involve wacky hijinks with an enchanted bell and a complete doofus who turns into a dashing hero and back every time the bell gets rung. A Comedy of Eros (http://whoosh.org/epguide/comedy.html) is an option too -- Cupid's arrows and wacky love-at-first-sight fun!

Then there's The Quill Is Mightier . . . (http://whoosh.org/epguide/quill.html), which I actually sort of did for a class activity (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1013005.html?thread=55255309#t55255309) a way back, but would love to do in game. Although I think oops_mbad's powers can accomplish something similar so that may be off the table.

But then there's Fins, Femmes, and Gems (http://whoosh.org/epguide/fins.html), which could be a lot of fun -- basically involving a bunch of people who are trying to accomplish something, and someone trying to stop them by casting a spell that gets them completely and totally obsessed with the first thing they see after the spell is cast. So then they have to find a way to accomplish their goal anyway. :D

And dude. I haven't even touched seasons 4-6.

Diana's powers are quite similar to that, yes, though I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive. :)
