Brainstorming brainstorming brainstorming!

Yep, it's that time again. No, not the one where we go "holy crap, how is the month half over already?"

Okay, it might be that one too. But it's also brainstorming-post time. Don't forget, all previous ideas are available for you to look over too.

Watch me not even try to one-up

willbedone on coming up with a cohesive witty theme for this post.

[[ocd achieved, so go to it!]]

Those would be the ones that aren't specific. That's next thread.

See, this thread. Where your ideas have details. Or possibly an outline for you more OCD types.

Let it be noted that I would not at all be surprised if one of you came up with a flowchart or a Powerpoint for one of these.

Got a little tidbit of something that does not a plot make all by itself, but someone else could maybe use? Toss it in here.

For anything that just has to be difficult and not fit any of the above categories.

I like it when things have to be difficult like that.

...I want waffles.

Flowcharts and PowerPoint slides are AWESOME.

When they're well-designed! Really awful Powerpoint slides make me weep.

This is true. If I could kill people for putting together slides in the stupidest manner possible... well our office would be a lot smaller, is all I'm saying.

BATWAFFLES.

IT'S BATWAFFLES DAY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

I need Raven to fall/be pushed off a tall building or something.

....no, really. I want her to find out she can fly. ;)

(And don't you "GOD, RAVEN" me.)

If only I could get paid for the number of times someone's asked me to look over a presentation and I've managed not to beg them to let me redesign the entire thing so it doesn't make people's eyes bleed.

...Now I kind of want to toss Clark over, too. It can be a DC-bonding experience.

I dunno. I had a weird idea the other night where Fandom was suddenly very Edenic. No violence, no anger, no clothing...I think it was a spell so that someone else could take over the island, but as people ate apples, they realized that a) everyone else was naked, and b) hey, maybe we should do something about this not-really-hostile takeover of the island.

It's vague, it's weird, I'm blaming real NyQuil. But there you go.

"The Elysian Fields? But only heroes end up here! Dead heroes.

. . . dead, naked heroes."

This is not contributing to your idea at all, but man, I couldn't resist.

OMG! CONTRIBUTE TO MY CRACKED OUT IDEA.

CONTRIBUTE! CONTRIIIIIIIIIIIIIBUTE.

Now I sound like some kind of Den-Mother Dalek. Which would make an awesome band name.

Since we have this spiffy new community center, I had this idea for a while about Dani holding some sort of business seminar for townies and teachers with some sort of guest speaker. The part where I keep getting stuck is who the guest speaker should be or what they should cover.

Someone needing a push?

I think that would have to be done very very carefully as that could get incredibly skeevy very fast considering the age range we have even just amongst the students.

IDEK about anyone else but, for instance, a twenty/twenty-one year old seeing a fourteen/fifteen year old naked would creep me out on several levels as a plot/event.

It's not to say that it couldn't be done, of course, but. My two cents, let me show you them.

No, that's toooooooooooooootally a fair crit. Even if it could be handwaved away in the beginning with people not actually noticing, after some folks start waking up, it could get pretty creepy pretty fast.

As kind of a distillation of the original idea, perhaps people are just wrapped in a happy, dream-like state where they don't notice/comprehend the danger until people started waking up out of it? Kind of a cross between the lotus-eaters and (I think, as I've only read synopses) the Jasmine arc from Angel?

Ooooo. I like the happy unaware state a lot better that way--for me, personally, it has a lot less AHHH in it while being fascinating to play in at the same time.

*contemplates*

There's how many people with mind powers around at the moment? They'd either be the least snared or the most snared depending on the details of it, I would think--if they're the least, it gives reason for why they'd wake up and be able to rouse the others. But if they're the most...

I actually like the idea of them being the most ensnared; there's so many possibilities there.

Fandom should totally get hit with the Curse of Babel. I . . . have no idea why, but it'd be, like, a catastrophic failure of verbal communication! Without people actually being mute!

. . . Okay, so admittedly, I mostly just like the phrase "catastrophic failure".

No lie, the linguistics geek in me is thoroughly gleeful at this prospect.

By and large, even people from different worlds have been able to communicate fairly well with most of the island's population for various reasons (mostly, I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, through the handwavey power of languages just happening to be analogous to English).

If that went wonky somehow? Could totally happen.

Me too, actually. Especially since they could then be used to keep ensnaring the others. Like...I dunno...mind-control vectors.
