Brainstorming Post!

[brat_inslayage]

What happens when you get a center of low plotty pressure and surround it with a system of high creative pressure? Well, hopefully it eventually comes together to form a brainstorm.

Which is what this post is trying to generate, of course. (Look, run with the metaphor here.)

For historical records of previous brainstorms check out the list here!

General Ideas

[brat_inslayage]

This is where you put the ideas that you have
That aren't really awful detailed yet.
But you want to share them anyway. So where?
Why, here in this thread! Now you're all set.

Specific Ideas

[brat_inslayage]

Some ideas don't fit in the general thread
'cause you've been rolling them 'round and 'round in your head
And there's lots to say
(More than just "Hey!")
And you want to throw those ideas this way
And they might be a plot.
And they just might have caught
The attention of someone who likes them a lot
This idea just sings!
And it might even bring
The fun of a BDE kind of a thing!
Okay, maybe smaller.
Still, give it a holler.
Hey, specific idea?
Right here. Yeah, we see ya.

Plot Spare Parts

[brat_inslayage]

This little idea right here in this spot
Isn't big enough yet to be a whole entire plot.
But you never know, and it could just be
Exactly the little thing someone else needs.
It's kind of like scattering little plot seeds.
...so my metaphor's off and a little bit funky.
That doesn't mean your idea's so clunky!
PUt it here and its fortunes just might increase.
It could even be the very last key puzzle piece!

OOC

[brat_inslayage]

I will never, ever outdo willbedone at this. But three rum and cokes while trying to come up with OCD threads last night made me think I could try too hard.

Please note, however, that the theme did not extend into the OOC thread; therefore, she still wins.

But you tried! That counts for lots!

Heroine convention. Everything from Disney Princesses to... well Xena type characters.

Yay? Nay?

Re: OOC

[brat_inslayage]

Plus it was fun! That counts too, right?

Personally, I think Heroine Con is a little too...nebulous? If that makes sense? Considering that I think of mine, all the girls I play could be considered 'heroines,' and I have everything from a Disney princess to a revolutionary. Plus, I think it also gets a little meta -- the characters wouldn't know to sign up for Heroine Con the way they would like, Rock Con or whatever, because they're not acknowledged as heroines in-universe the way that rockstars/superheroes/villains are.

That being said, Princess Con sounds totally doable and I want it now.

Wrong account but Jessica is totally down with Princess Con. ;-)

Seconded (or possibly thirded)!

Not that I really have any princesses I might wanna play in mind...

Basically, Hook needs to start being a bit more... dastardly. So consider this my open invitation for, if you need a tormentor or something, that Hook is available for birthday parties, bar (and bat) mitzvahs, and general villainy.

Hee! My original thought was for a Princess Con but I wondered if that was being too specific.

Now I certainly don't feel that way! Thank you!

Superdictionary Day!

Wherein, everyone starts redundantly explaining and defining their actions, either narratively or in actual conversation. With bonus random bolding.
