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.

That's a 70's exploitation movie about models who get pissed off with their lecherous promoter/agent.

I have a number of ... for beginners books. I was intruduced to them by my English teacher in the mid 80s. They use what we call now 'graphic novel' to take readers through complex philosophies. Didn't realise you could still get them.

A very very very very very very very... VERY confusing anime about a group of teenagers who find themselves constantly travelling to a mysterious dream world every night where they become warriors trying to save a distant world from its tyrannical overlord. During the day, it's a slice of life drama with a ton of scenes devoted to dialogue where the characters worry that their lives are the fiction, and their lives as warriors are the true reality. Naturally, the series topped things off with a Gainax Ending.

A Canadian-based animated series about a boy who is given the task of protecting a locked book containing the secrets to life's most difficult problems (the "Holder of Unanswered Questions," aka "UQ Holder"). Considered to be a failed Western rip-off of Death Note, even though the series was different in tone and overall plot structure.
