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.

Margaret Thatcher and Mary Whitehouse are kidnapped by a Well-Intentioned Extremist time traveller and forced to run and maintain a super nuclear power generator machine that produces enough power to provide clean energy for the entire planet, but must be constantly maintained and watched on the ground that it will blow up and destroy the entire galaxy if it is allowed to overheat. Working alternating 12 hour shifts we watch as our two Anti-Hero's slowly slip into insanity and are replaced by a group of actual pigs, who do a surprisingly good job of running the device.

"You are as likely to find true love here and now as you are to see a pink moon in the sky." This is what Mr. Thatcher told the 16-year students of the Oasis Academy. Six students of the Willow house aimed to prove him wrong. Will they find something that can endure the test of time and manage to live happily ever after? Or will their tumultuous relationships scar them and forever drive them apart?

A dark fantasy work that follows a small, poorly-cohesive group of heroes as they struggle to overthrow the Shaman King's iron, necromancy-fueled grip on their world.

Alternatively, an alternate history tale that follows a version of Martin Luthor King who has shamanic powers, and how he uses — and decides to not use — them in the struggle for equality.
