Brainstorming Time!

Again? Really? Holy crap, where did that month go?

I am far too sleepy to come up with a witty poem to match TBQ's effort from last month, so I'll just pose the question again of where did that month go?

Hey, maybe you've gotten some nifty new ideas in the meantime. We had some great ones last month.

General Ideas

Everything that falls into that broad range otherwise known as "not specific."

In the spirit of Soap Opera and AU weekends, I was thinking of proposing one slightly similar--a weekend where everyone got stuck in bad fanfic versions of themselves, complete with terrible spelling, implausible relationships, sudden understanding of American pop culture, etc., etc.

What say ye?

Considering I've just been reading what little fanfic there is of Kate's canon, and fuming about how badly she gets portrayed in them... I am kinda loving this idea.

Oh lord...fanfic Chuck.

HE'S SO IN LOVE WITH BLAIR THAT IT TORTURES HIM INSIDE. HE. IS. TORTURED.

I love it except for the part that it means I need to read terrible fanfic :D

Something for a random event: Character trait flip flop day

Basically your favorite trait of your character flips to the complete opposite of what it should be. Chuck Bass is a nice-guy-prude-tee-totaler! Layla Miller is a complete dunce and knows nothing! Merlin's ears are wee and tiny!

Oh dear. Leia would be passive and agreeable and Raven would be a slut.

Ooooh hmmm that could be interesting!

I keep thinking on a 'time loop' idea a la Groundhog Day. This is one of those barely formed ideas (as evidenced by my lack of details) but my firs thought was characters being able to go back and relive a particularly vivid moment in their life through some form of Fandom magic. And they'd relive it over and over and over as if they were seeing it for the first time.

It'd be up to character to break the time loop and get themselves back to Fandom. That would, of course, leave it up to the player to decide how to break the time loop. As in how would the character have to play something out in order for things to be right, so to speak.

So, half formed idea but it's been percolating for a few days randomly.

Re: General Ideas

Ha, I have to comment from this account because now I want to watch "Been There, Done That" again -- which is actually my suggestion, since the entire idea of the Groundhog Day concept as it was done in BTDT was that Xena had to solve a problem (in the most insane way possible) in order to stop the time loop, and every time she relived it she had to pick up new clues to put together and find a solution.

So that's one option. :)

I think we've tossed this idea around before on a previous post. I think the idea was that the island got in a loop where it got destroyed by some cataclysm every day for a week and people had to figure out how to do it.

I know SG-1 and ST:TNG had some great episodes along these lines. I'm all for it.

Re: General Ideas

Don't mind me, I've been daydreaming and coming up with these things. It's been a long day. Anyway.

EVIL ISLAND. Not what it sounds like, probably. Basically, most everyone knows the island is sentient in some way so what if that sentient personality got overtaken or was brainwashed into being something a little more evil and sinister?

Some of the things that could happen could be: the island breaks up with the Isle of Ikea and thus, causes relationship strife around the island, trees and plant life sort of wilt, it's constantly grey and rainy, people are more likely to be pissy and short rather than other emotions, characters that have a penchant for evil might explore that etc etc.

Again, half formed idea but I like the idea of messing about with the island as a sentient thing.

Re: General Ideas

[shiroi_tiger]

So, essentially, Fandom Island starts to shift into its own evil twin, and starts dragging the islanders along for the ride?

I kind of adore the hell out of that premise, right there.

Re: General Ideas

[doubleohblonde]

But will people start growing evil facial hair?

Regardless of gender?

Re: General Ideas

[trigons_child]

The island radiating evil would do terrible things to Raven.

Therefore, of course, I support it.

Dalek invasion!

I'll come up with something new for these at some point, I swear. . . .

Can they be wee!tiny and adorable and thus not as much of a threat?

This occurred to me recently:

Something involving the parents of the future AU kids. Either our current Fandomites need them to rescue them, or the other way around?

Re: General Ideas

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

A spin on AU Kids - the kids show up the same age as their parents (or close). So they are the future children of current characters, but they're teenagers or older.

I am serious as Anakin on Padme's birthday. Next convention: Hospitality Operative Con. Old Town Girls. That One Hooker Who Looks Like Julia Roberts And Married The J,GoB Clerk. Miss Mona. Lady Sally. Darla. Snoop Dogg. ...Well, pretty much every character Snoop Dogg has ever played. Eccentrica Gallumbits. Also exotic dancers, porn stars, etc.

A trade day. Kind of like the markets were, but every once in a while a post goes up in the park where characters bring things they own that they want to get rid of/sell/trade and then they go around looking at what everyone else has, offering to take it off their hands. It'd be a good opportunity to get talking to other characters you wouldn't normally talk to, while having some IC motivation to do it.

Re: General Ideas

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

And another one! Everyone's evil twin shows up. Their AU/mirror universe self. Whether they meet their evil twins or the evil twins just start replacing characters and pretending they're the original in an effort to take over the island. Or pod people start taking over. Hell, maybe only the people who are being replaced know when they're being replaced and we (and our characters) who haven't been replaced yet don't know what's entirely going on. MYSTERY. Controlled mystery, but mystery all the same.
