Idea Exchange Thread

Do you have an idea but aren't sure that you will ever use it or can't use it or are too lazy to? Something spinning around your head that would be really interesting but don't want to do yourself? And, feeling helpful getting the creativity of others flowing? Need ideas for something or are bored? 

Then you have come to the right thread!

Basicl, post your ideas about, well, anything here. I was origionally imagining this for writing but actuallym it can be for anything else too, whether that is a food idea, a way to start a  morning routine, or anything else you can think of. These ideas should be ones that you are perfectly okay with others using.

If you see an idea that you want to use, you don't need to ask for permission, you can just use it. Maybe share what you did with it, but you don't need to. If you like some of the idea but not the rest or want to change it, or maybe thought of something completely different but somehow only because of that, that is perfectly fine too -- it doesn't need to match the origional idea.

If multiple people use the same idea, that's perfectly fine! I'm sure they will go in diffrent directions anyways.

I think that's it, and hope y'all find this helpful!

HEY GUYS WHATS UP IT'S LORD ENTROPY PRESENT IN THE DOMICILE!

Okay ideas...ideas...

How about a device that changes your chatterbox name for no reason?

how about a device that destroys sarcastic aes?
how about a device that makes rodney stop singing?

How about a device that summons alternate dimension counterparts of cbers and aes?

*everyone turns to look at rodney*

I can have good ideas too!

Okay lets go with that.

Hmm, what if there was a character who stopped understanding rules? Not right and wrong nessecarily, but maybe not, but I mean rules and discipline. Most people feel liek they should follow rules even if they won't get punished. This character wouldn't care about them. They also wouldn't care about the punishments -- like, whatsoever. Maybe they suddenly wake up and think, huh, I want more sleep, I'll sleep. And they decide that they don't want to go to school so they just refuse. Maybe they go wherever they want, and have no regard to anyone else's wishes.

Just a thought.

Oh yeah, I had this really weird idea last night based off the saying "nooks and crannies", which probably isn't altogether that originial but I thought it was interesting...

Basically, there's 2 secret groups of pixie/fairy/knome-like creatures, the Nooks and the Crannies (ew crannies sounds kinda gross to me tho) that live in these little magical spaces (also called Nooks and Crannies, obviouly) that can just like...pop up in the normal world as portals or something (it makes sense in my head). Then there's a lot of alternate plotlines to go with this world.

Okay, so I had this idea which kinda struck me as pretty cool. So, what if 'imaginary friends' are the souls of people that did something really bad in their past life? Hear me out: When a really, really bad person dies, their soul goes straight into this limbo like place with no recognition of time and reality UNTIL they are called by a child to become their imaginary friend. The soul has to appear to the child as whatever the child wants; a dog, a small girl, a unicorn, whatever the child imagines, and the child has complete control over the soul. For example, if a kid has an imaginary friend, the kid can control them because supposedly the friend is all in their imagination, but what if the person's soul was still in the body of the imaginary friend with no control over their actions, a slave to a young child? When the child needs the imaginary friend, the soul goes to them, but no one else can see them because they are cursed with this half existence so that they exist only to the chid, and when the child doesn't need them anymore, they go back into limbo. And when the child forgets about the imaginary friend when they grow up, the soul stays in limbo, slowly fading away...

I think it could also be Crooks (not cooks) And Nannies.

I love these! Here are some more I came up with:

Why'd that happen?

1. A woman in a red ball gown walks into the ocean.
 
2. Someone (not you) runs out of your house and is never seen again.
 
3. A dear friend of yours writes you an email detailing how delicious a pizza he just had was. He doesn’t like pizza.
 
4. An ambulance pulls up in front of your house. No one in your neighborhood called it.
 
5. Every day, the same bird taps on your window with its beak.
 
What happens next?
 
1. A man walks out of his house with the intention of accepting every social offer he receives.

 

2. At the same time, 19 people from 19 different countries receive the same call, which consists of a voice saying “This is urgent. Do not leave the house today.” That person then hangs up. The twentieth person from a twentieth country didn’t answer the phone.

3. A plane, in order to avoid a thunderstorm, flies into the Bermuda Triangle.

4. In order to thwart a criminal’s attempts to assassinate the President of the U.S., there are several traps set up around the White House. The President is a sleepwalker. 

5. Jupiter is infested with aliens that are obsessed with donuts. Suddenly, their telescopes find Earth, and the aliens are able to see every donut shop that exists.
 
Okay, fine, that last one was just for fun. But it could still happen! Technically. I guess. 
 
Halloween-y writing prompts 
 
1. Deep in the woods, there was a cemetery covered in bone-white lilies.
 
2. Everywhere she went, the shadows followed.
 
3. A house painted red, an uncanny stranger, and an unsettled ghost welcomed her home.
 
4. The night was peaceful and serene - until you saw the witch.
 
5. He was supposed to be dead. They all were, and yet... And yet they were very much alive.

Here's an idea:

Is time counting down or counting up? Is it like a stopwatch, where it counts up and never stops? Or is it like a timer, counting down until it reaches 0...?

Neither. Time counts in a Jeremy Bearimy.

Some ideas for books:

this would be funny: what if for some reason or another, two baseball teams both had a reason that they needed to LOSE? So they would both be continuously dropping the ball! I think that would be really funny :)

I've always thought it would be fun to read a book about hamster preschool, I have no idea why, it just sounds cute, and I also loooove hamsters :)

Also, I think it would be fun to make a challenge for yourself when writing something, like not using "he said," and "she said," and using more creative things instead. Or maybe try not using the same adjective twice? That'd be a hard one I don't know if it's even possible. 

Anyway, yeah!
