Brainstorming!

[furnaceface]

A day late because of computer difficulties and comic books. You know how it is.

You know the drill by now! Old brainstormy suggestions are over here, mentioning something in here doesn't make it happen until someone takes it to the admins, and OCD is incoming up!

General Ideas!

[furnaceface]

The stuff you have a sort of inkling that you'd like to see, but it hasn't really gotten a spit-shine yet and it could use a little something to make it a reality. Like, logistics. Maybe some elbow grease... that sort of thing.

Imaginary friends weekend! Ala Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Yeah, I got nothin' else on how it would work or whether it's Foster's characters or imaginary friends OCs or what. Just -- IMAGINARY FRIENDS!

OH NO THIS WOULD BE SO CUTE.

Yeah, now you have me pondering logistics, too. I wonder if there's, like, a random imaginary friend generator on the internet. There seems to be everything else...

Re: General Ideas!

[vdistinctive]

Hmm. My cursory search only turned up imaginary friend name generators. Which makes sense, there's so much variation in the Foster's friends that it'd be hard to create a generator for them.

Re: General Ideas!

[furnaceface]

That's true. I suppose we could have people take a few things that are important to their character and smush them together somehow, and then apply the name generator to it...

There's an SPN character that's an imaginary friend. His name is Sparkle.

I'm just sayin'.

OMG THE UNICORN MAN

... Actually, there probably ARE enough imaginary friends out there among various canons that this could almost be doable. I immediately thought of Drop Dead Fred, myself, when you mentioned Sparkle.

I was noodling around with AU ideas for fic last night and I then got to thinking about how it might be fun to run AU weekends where everyone is from the same kind of AU?

Like, no big, enormous plot or anything. Just one weekend, everyone wakes up as farmers or musicians or royalty or pirates for a weekend.

Re: General Ideas!

[furnaceface]

Ooo, so a bit like Soap Opera Weekend or Noir Weekend, but with a bit more direct focus?

Because not gonna lie, I think a weekend where everybody is a literal princess would be hilarious.

Re: General Ideas!

[pulseof_life]

YES. Exactly like that!

PRINCESS WEEKEND FOR ALL.

Re: General Ideas!

[furnaceface]

EVERYONE GETS PRETTY TIARAS AND DRESSES AND GETS TO GO TO THE BALL!

Re: General Ideas!

[living_endless]

I COSIGN THIS CONCEPT.

Both in the general, and in the specific. Because PRINCESSES.

Re: General Ideas!

[vdistinctive]

But who gets to be the hot dog?

Re: General Ideas!

[furnaceface]

Hot Dog Princess is A HERO AND A TREASURE.

A TREASURE.

Specific Ideas!

[furnaceface]

Those ideas that you've been massaging into an almost complete event idea go here! You might just want to gauge interest, or you might have a few little parts missing, that sort of thing.

Plot Spare Parts!

[furnaceface]

For little bits and bobs that you remember about the island that you'd like to see put to use, or stuff your character can provide that might be neat to throw into the fray somewhere! Stuff like, "hey, remember that pillow tree," or "Mabel has a grappling hook, if you need to reach high places and you don't have supernatural powers" can go here!

OOC!

[furnaceface]

So the OCD doesn't fall out.
