I didn't know where to put this really...though i did consider skiffy.

Alright so the rules are simple...

I'll post a word, and the next person to post puts up the first kind of story plot idea that comes to mind, then posts a word of their own.



Ok, let's start simple. The first word is ISLAND

Do you want to move this to Word Game Way, now that you're Mayor?

I'll respond to ISLAND:
The hero Beowulf wakes up on an island where he and other mythological heroes are constantly set upon by terrible monsters and forced to battle them constantly. The heroes go through terrible suffering in the battles, but cannot die. Beowulf comes to realize that this is the afterlife, and at the end accepts that it is a good one.

The next word is ROSE.

That'll take some time, since the admin panel is in a form that's new to me.

umm...

Once upon a time, there used to be a beautiful flower garden, meticuously tended to by it's care taker, who grew into an old lady through the years. When she died, the flowers became fairies and used her home as their own. However, they can not be seen by the normal humans, who seem to be interested in buying up the house and re-imagining the land. One of these fairies is named Pink Rose, and she doesn't want the garden to disappear because then they will disappear. But what can she do?

um...frog.

You don't need to go into the Admin pages, just click on the link to Moderate this forum below, then select the topic and click Move. It should give you a choice of which forum to move it to.

I can do it if you want, but it might be good for you to get practice... :-)

FROG
A story of a frog who was called into existence by God as one of the Biblical plagues. He doesn't understand why he is so despised by humans and only wants to be accepted as a normal frog who never intended anybody any harm.

Next is SUSPICION

The world is suddenly grey, and everyone is either a detective, a criminal, a bartender, a cop, or an innocent. Also, apparently every town looks like chicago, and people have started to speak differently, and noticably more monotone yet dramatic. Our main character, John Greyman, has gone from an author to being a detective. So, naturally, he makes it his job to figure out what's happened. The task might be difficult, because everyone else seems to have trouble remembering anything before the world turned grey. (suspicion turned into a classic detective movie)

A young entrepreneur opens up a '50's style milk bar, which proves popular with the high-school kids, drawing them away from the ice-cream parlour down the road. But when the lights go out after closing time, strange things occur in the storage rooms, leaving all his stock ruined and in a congealed mess on the floor. At first he believes it's sabotage by ice-cream proprietor, looking for revenge.

He convinces a friend to stay the night and together they keep watch on the pantries, hoping to catch his rival red-handed. What they discover is beyond their wildest imagination. A dairy-based thriller, not for the faint hearted!

A simple expedition into the North Pole was never supposed to reveal that Santa Claus was real, but even less so was it supposed to lead to the discovery of his workshop. Filled with the skeletons of a veritable army of elves, and the jolly old saint nick himself, these scientists find themselves with a conundrum. Admit to the world that Santa had been real- but something had killed him and all his elves? Or cover it up and leave him as little more than a memory?
