    Outlandish short story ideas

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by Naomasa298, Oct 26, 2019.

    So just for the shiz and giggles, I tried out a random short story generator, I got:

    "In a world where women are warriors, one gardener has no choice but to leave facebook using an enchanted sword. It turns out the women are all aliens in disguise."

    And:
    "When a waiter from Richmond Hill develops a fear of ducks, not everybody is supportive. However, his fortunes improve when his neighbour knits a new jumper. Eventually, the waiter becomes corrupted by power and wealth, bringing about his own downfall."

    Well, it's a challenge...

    I believe Family Guy is basically written this way. And Snakes on a Plane came about in similar circumstances (someone said "Hey, let's make a movie about snakes on a plane!"

    What's the most outlandish idea you can come up with?

    I could write a political thriller about turmoil in government in the UK, but I imagine everyone will find it boring compared to RL.

    I think the prequel to this one is called Untitled Goose Game.

    I'm writing it right now (TC). It's everything I thought I would be afraid to write, let alone express. I even tried to sabotage my own work (at the time) with the most outlandish or deepest things I could think of. They all fit together.
    Oops! :D
