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.

She takes matters into her own hands after a failed police investigation, and soon enough, finds herself entangled in a vast archaeological conspiracy seeking to rewrite history for a sinister endgame.

A Hunting the Most Dangerous Game film with a bit of a twist. Reclusive multi-millionaire Howard Tours is fond of kidnapping people, primarily ex-mercenaries and criminals on the lam, dropping them on his private island, and systematically hunting them down at his leisure. Former FBI agent Quinton Carver is one such person who has fallen prey to Tours' trap and must work with the worst humanity has to offer to survive. Unbeknownst to everyone, including the audience, Carver is a cold, calculating, sociopath and Serial-Killer Killer who allowed himself to get captured just so he could orchestrate events in order to get to Tours and murder him.

One of the most popular episodes of the enduring edutainment elementary school comedy Curiosities of Cassie's Classroom!. This week-end, Cassie and her classmates are tasked with finding the melting and boiling points of water via experimentation, but it seems her mom has lost the ice tray, while Cassie's best friend Jerome's dad won't let them use the stove or the oven to boil water. Nobody can quite remember the teacher's instructions, so it's up to good old-fashioned library snooping to save the day!

A neurobiology group finally discovers a method which will enable people to know mathematics, science, language and communication concepts instinctively, slowly eliminating the need for schools and colleges. As people are born knowing everything they need, they can devote more time to the things they love, and spend less money and time in schools.

The colleges and government programs who discover the neurobiologist's methods, begin to attack their work and try to steal it for themselves.

The team now faces two enemies: the education system, wanting to preserve their jobs and livelihoods, wishes to destroy the research. Seedy characters of the government learn that, if tweaked, the methods can be used to influence humans politically before they are ever born, making them loyal to their Party from day 1.

The neurobiologists now struggle against two factions who want to destroy or misuse their discoveries. Will they come out on top?

[up][up] A bestselling piece of scientific non-fiction that describes the present and neat-future potential for catastrophic climatological events that pose a systemic risk to global civilization, and Humans' ongoing contribution to them. It is written in a provocative style in the vein of something like Freakonomics meant to entertain and be accessible to lay-readers, using straight-forward language mixed with amusing anecdotes, jokes about the Cold War and plenty of grey-to-dark-grey humor. Critics rave about it, calling it, "The definitive guide to the increasingly probable oncoming collapse of Human civilization. A must-read for survivalists and doomsday preppers of all stripes!"

A thriller in a fantasy setting (with some doses of action here and there), with great deal of Dark Is Not Evil and Light Is Not Good, there are humans, demons, and angels, [some] angels are deceiving, [a sizeable amount of] demons are more down-to-earth and honest. Think of it as Shin Megami Tensei, but not as dark.

I'm not afraid of anything anymore.

Memento meets romantic drama in this film about a young woman with short-term memory loss who attracts the affections of the same man throughout her life. Like Memento the film is all backwards with scenes taking place in the "present" spliced in between which slowly explain her predicament and reveal secrets of the man she keeps meeting. The ending reveals that the man is responsible for her injury and is wracked with guilt by it, driving him to orchestrate a series of scenarios to give her some semblance of a normal existence. Every time she learns of this her reaction is always different, but the man continues to do this for her in spite of her various reactions.

four english majors decide to write four stories in the same "world"/ novel as their final project. they annoy the hell out of each other by analyzing and looking for symbolism, but end up with four solid stories that fit together very well, borrowing each other's settings and characters and by the last day of the semester are really good friends and at least two of them are dating and the proff. hates the book but they don't care, it was fun.
