#adopt a plot

Superman drops off some pretty flowers for Batman one day ‘To Batman xox Superman’ (he’s so brave - very proud of himself). Bruce immediately googles all the flowers in it to try and work out the meaning.

“Gazania’s represent wealth and Richness.. It has moon flowers in it. Moon… it’s currently a waning moon… *GASP* he knows I’m Bruce Wayne.”

“Sir maybe he just liked the look of the flowers-“

“BEGONIA’S MEAN BEWARE ALFRED! He knows my identity and he is BLACKMAILING me!”

“What about the note, sir. He signed it x o x ”

“It’s one of those ‘emoticons’ Alfred! Two x’s for dead eyes and the o is the surprised mouth. My god he’s going to kill me and he thinks I’ll never see it coming.”

Hi! I'm so glad you're becoming interested in Sicktember!

I have a few scenarios that thought about and then opted not to use. BUT I would love to see someone else give them a go! Since I write Irondad and Spiderson, that's what my thoughts reflect but with the first two, you could easily swap the characters out if you're into another fandom!

1) Tony is set up to make a big speech somewhere but ends up with laryngitis right before he's meant to speak. Peter, who had been helping him with the project that is supposed to be presented, takes over. *Insert proud mentor moment here*

2) Peter shows up at the tower/compound sick but Tony's not there. In fact, he thinks no one is there until Loki walks into the common room where he's flopped on the couch watching movies. *Queue unlikely caregiver*

If you want to write a novel but don't know what you want to write about, try this exercise for developing an idea! 

You can find more writing exercises for developing novel ideas in our NaNo Prep 101 Workshop.

my inner muse is trying to pitch a Flash AU (Gilmore Girls style) fanfic to me (as if I need more new ideas ugh 🤷‍♀️🙄) with Caitlin in Lorelai's single-mom role but I can't decide who to make her love interest. Too difficult to choose between Cisco (Killervibe) and Harry [or one of the other Wells?] (Snowells), I can see potential in both pairings. Cisco is like Luke in that he’s always been Caitlin’s closest friend, and he’s supported her through everything. But Harry’s like Luke too cuz he’s got that gruff exterior and once a person gets through that, he’d do anything for those he loves - like when he pretended to be Reverse Flash to rescue Caitlin from Grodd or jumped out in between her and Amunet to protect her even though he’s the one without powers. Ugh...it’s too hard to choose.

OR....

Ugh so much potential in both!

(Reblog and add your ideas that you may or may not have time for. We could all use more stories even if the plots are similar. This is entertainment folks 😊)

Pick a plot, any plot, mix and match or challenge a friend to write the same plot in different directions. Movie, Toon or Musical, it doesn’t matter. Time to stoke those creative fires!

Lydia was already dead but no one noticed. (Parents in a state of delusional grief that they could still see her but only her)

BJ is delaying reincarnation which is why he is trying to break the mold by getting married

Another time, another life. AU where this all takes place in a period time setting.

There is no Delia only Zuul. (Kidding) Charles never remarried because he died with his wife leaving Lydia as an orphan.

Who is that? (Lydia sees and meets BJ before the Maitlands)

I was thinking of a Din Djarin x Terminator 1 but it's the reader who flies back in time to save the future, will be pregnant and will die. And D has to find a family for the baby and will be their Kenobi.

Hello my Dawnie!!

This is a wild idea but not my strength. As I said in DMs, I thought I'd send it out into the wider community to see if anyone wanted to take crack at it.

Any NaNo-ers (or considering NaNo-ers) looking for a plot?

'Cause I have one I've suggested to several (chicken) people who aren't participating due to 'life.' (Silly people. Life IS NaNo...) People like it, they just aren't NaNo-ing. I like it; it's just not a strong area for me.

I want someone to write it, but someone with a better feel of the genre than myself. It's a YA novel. Contemporary setting, but with a heavy influence from steampunk -- and literature, and history. 

That's all I'm giving away until someone jumps up and says they want to do it.

But if you're scrambling for ideas and these things appeal to you, let me know. We'll chat. I give you plot, you get a book to write for NaNo. When you finish I'll be your beta. And I get a (tiny) percentage of your publishing and film rights ;)

I mean, I have so much plot-bunnies and no time to write them

I have at least 10, and each they I remember more and more ideas I had and forgot
