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.

The man of the high castle is enigmatic in his approach and there are several motifs that frame it as an allegory for God.

A sitcom about a personal-injury law firm in a class-C office building in an unnamed big city. The opening credits show an ad for the firm on the side of a bus in downtown traffic. The scenes show things from drumming up business to the trial (leaving out the boring bits like document production), all in ways that make the viewer wonder how the lawyers have not been suspended by the state bar.

An erotic comedy about eight men who all compete on who can get laid first. The story follows their increasingly worse attempts as they try to get their fix before 24 hours are up. Surprisingly well-written and offers a bit of social commentary on the lives and experiences of sex workers. Also unique in that despite being male led with rather explicit scenes, the story still comes across as feminist and doesn't objectify the women.
