Write A Plot From The Title (Writing Game)

Go To

If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...

Troper A: Soul Surfer

Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.

Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

A fantasy/sci-fi story taking place in a world where, by mysterious forces, every person is at birth granted either super speed or super strength amplified by their uncontrollable anger. The story satirises various social topics and discriminations, in the form of the prejudices and mutual unfair advantages the Fast and the Furious groups have on one another, and in the form of various contradictory theological and scientific explanations for the mysterious powers everyone is granted.

Focusing on a war between the sovereign skynations of the Northern Jetstream and the great skycity of Cloud Haven, the story centers on a group of test pilots who fly the experimental aircraft called skycats. In the wake of the skycats' first successful mission, the sovereign skynations' special operations pilots, known as the 250th brigade, attacks Cloud Haven, leaving only the five prototype skycats to defend the city... and the 250th brigade is expecting reinforcements to finish the city off for good.

There exists a legend of a mysterious facebook profile. Nobody who tries to friend it gets a response, and it only rarely sends out a request. But everyone who receieve a requests gets the opportunity to wish for one thing, and one thing only. the profile is a notorious Rules Lawyer, so the wishes have to be ridiculously specific to work.

Haruhi Suzumiya is just a normal high schooler, until she receive a certain friend request.

Count Chocula

CottonDee Since: Oct, 2013
#1183: Nov 3rd 2014 at 12:00:09 AM

A darkly satirical and largely controversial film about a small time LA Gangster who is seduced and bitten by a vampiric club bartendress. After discovering his new found vampirism, Sonny Torino (now self-titled Count Chocula), attempts to get more out of the thug life, and finds himself faced with tough decisions.

And yes, Sonny Torino is black.

The film debuted to critical acclaim and critical outrage. Accusations of racism, elitism, sexism, anarchism, and even 'gangsterism' still abound to this day. Its wikipedia page labels the film as "a bizarre mix of high stakes drama, slapstick comedy, blaxpoitation, fauxcumentary, horror and tragedy."

The film's director has gone on the record,stating his intended vision for the film to be "like if someone got, say, The Wire, Community, and like, every Tarantino movie and then just stuck em in a giant conceptual blender". General consensus is that the artist has at least in some part fulfilled this vision, for better or worse.

A kids' cartoon comedy airing annually, every day of October to Halloween, Lovely Bones is a sitcom starring the Bones, an ordinary suburban family that just so happen to all be living skeletons. The series is widely criticised for rarely taking advantage of its bizarre premise beyond the occasional bone sight gag (such as the Bones' often having their limbs endangered by the neighbour's dog) and generally preferring to stick to stock sitcom plots, with the horrific skeleton aspect often barely being acknowledged. Despite the criticism, the series continues to air every Halloween, and seeing cocoa mugs with the characters' faces on them are a common sight in any child's cupboard.

A thrilling prison escape story with a twist: the thing trying to get the prisoners back is a nigh invulnerable Humongous Mecha. Two-bit thief Alex Niland is imprisoned in the world's most advanced prison after being falsely accused of murdering a US Senator. Luckily for him, his girlfriend is a master hacker who has procured the prison's blueprints and schedule. Alex teams up with the jaded convict Miles, an old man with aspirations of living out the rest of his days in peace, Salvador Hardin, a former drug kingpin who rules the prison's gangs with his wits who is looking to regain his hidden money to flee the country, and the bloodthirsty Roche Yon Sung, a serial murderer and spree killer bent on continuing his rampage. When they all escape, the prison unleashes the X-GP Convict Recovery Drone, an unrelenting machine that was rejected by the military for being too dangerous.

A romcom. The main character works for a company that subsists almost entirely on government contracts. One night when she is out with her friends, she meets a stranger in a bar and they exchange numbers. The next day at work, she learns that he works for a rival company who is after the same [important thing] contract.

The story focuses on both of their developing feelings while they commence in an all out battle for the contract.
