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.

Life hasn't been great for Jacqueline Mead ever since the other members of her Wererat tribe's squad of enforcers, colloquially known as the 'Hanging Judges' for their tendency to dispense justice swiftly and brutally were killed. Especially not since her tribe has forced her to play bodyguard. To a young vampire who goes by 'Presley'. Then Presley gets an invitation to the local vampire lord's formal soiree that may produce clues about who killed the other members of her squad. Together, while the music of the decade blares across the venue's speakers, the two engage in their own investigation leading them deeper and deeper into the politics of the city's supernatural community. And perhaps a budding romance? (No. Because this is cliché enough as it is.) An Urban Fantasy set in the '70s.

Victoria is a normal young woman until one day granted one wish when she goes to think about what she wants to use it on she wishes to be popular not realizing wishing things on paper count.She then spends the rest of the story trying to deal with the unwanted celebrity levels of popularity brought upon while using her new persuasiveness to track down the fairy that gave her the wish to get the wish she really wanted.Along the way she tries other avenues to fufill the wish she wanted by finding others who got a wish and just generally looking into what in supernatural society can grant wishes.

A Japanese girl grows up obsessed with Canadians, and is finally old enough travel on her own. Cue a Canadian road trip, followed by the culture shock: not all Canadians are nice, not all of the land is pristine, and the moose are dying out. Ultimately swings back to optimism with a heartfelt ending.

On ceilings in neighborhood houses, on the bulletin board in the police station, inside the top-securtiy vaults of several banks. The grimy flyers state: "For any of you sheep that want to wake up, come and find me. You will learn your role in this story."

A completely non-serious buddy comedy that lampoons a bunch of fantasy tropes. Grimgar of Fantasy is a manly-man kind of guy from the kingdom of Fantasy. Ash is a completely clueless guy from the real world who somehow ends up in Fantasy (how this happened is not explained in the movie, it just happened). They have ridiculous adventures fighting the over-the-top bad guys who chew the scenery.

A coming of age story about kids living in a recently gentrified part of Brooklyn. The chocolate refers to the artisanal chocolate shop one of the main character's family owns. Glass refers to the impoverished background of the other protagonist, often having to avoid broken glass. It also serves as a metaphor for their doomed relationship, as the impoverished character is African American, and the priveladged chocolate shop boy ends up being "cut by the glass" when her family moves away from the neighborhood due to soaring rent. Also it refers to the appropriation and sale of local culture.

I expect this to be adapted into a movie. And for that movie to win the Oscartongue
