Free Idea Dumping Ground

"The Kingdom of Santa: An Atheist Christmas Movie" — Kids get stranded on an island in the middle of an arctic cruise, and build a society around the idea that "Santa will save us!" Lord of the Flies meets Santa legends.

I may or may not write this myself. In case I don't, there it is.

A reverse-survival horror game where you play as Slenderman. Instead of running around collecting journal pages or whatever, you mark a target and try to lure them towardards you. Whispering their name, writing it in blood, etc. You get this person alone, and then you git 'im, put his insides in ziplock baggies and hang the rest of him as a warning to his group. Then you choose someone else...

Great idea!

A teenage boy named Henry ariwa works most of his days as the delivery boy for a packaging service in the future. His life was going smoothly until dormant genes from within activate, turning him into the deadly assassin, silvas.

Another idea is mine is about group of native American kids that use the power of animal spirits to fight monsters from native American myth.

So I came up with a rough magical system. In our reality magic is a concept we made. In my fictional reality magic is still a concept we made, however it's actually palpable to the senses of my fictional characters. Long ago __alien race___ brought devices called Ethonx to Earth that allows sentient organisms to bring their imagination to life. Our ancestors all over Earth touched Ethonx unknowingly turning mythology and spirituality into reality. Yes they already believed those things were real but now they were REAL. European, African, Asian, so on pantheons, legends, and mythological creatures are still real to this day but because of plot reasons they are also hidden from modern man. If people believe in their ways less Ethonx stops working. Google any realife "magic" and it might resemble my magic. This means I gotta do a lot of research.

A man dies and sees his life flash before his eyes. At around 6 years old, he relives a traumatic event (let's say a friend getting hit by a car). However, he is able to summon the energy to stop it from happening (he tackles the kid) and realizes he has free will. He can change his life for the better, but he has to make sure he can pass as a young child.

The Big Bad was defeated and Defeat Means Friendship, so he married the Big Good and they had a Princess Classic....

....flash forward to her 16th birthday and the Spoiled Sweet child has her dreams shattered: the kingdom is invaded. Her father flees with his child, her mentor and a few trusted guards. Her mother was slain along with most of the royal court and the invaders are all in the "rape and pillage" mode.

The princess has to make a choice: use her abilities for good and rally the surrounding kingdoms or take up her father's offer to be trained in the dark arts. She tries to Take a Third Option - use both, but the call of her dark heritage grows. However daddy had a Heel Realization - Good Feels Good and now he doesn't want his little girl to become a monster.

Can they win and restore the good kingdom or will the princess become Drunk On The Darkside?

A comic strip about a small hedgehog with no idea what to do with his life, and his snarky cat friend.

... Huh, that sounds like Garfield.

The cat is an incubus, who doesn't do much sexual material, just enjoy reading.

The Power of Friendship, subverted.

An uncool Magical Girl keeps going through teammates because they keep ditching and flaking on her, leaving her to figure out how to beat the Monster of the Week herself.

The moral of the story: Teenage friendships are fickle and unreliable.

A relationship comedy/drama taking place in a superhero universe focusing on users of a dating website for superhumans whose main selling point is a search filter for specific powers a given user might consider a turn-on. Are you an Amazon Chaser? Just toggle the search options to only show you profiles of singles with Super-Strength.

Hm... Well, the idea for an Inside Out fic where a group of rouge mind workers steal the Console has always been at the back of my head...

In this one story idea I had, the Champions of the Light and the Red Knights are all celebrating the anniversary of one of their victories over the forces of evil. Toward the end of their fun day, however, the angel Shandara appears to deliver a warning about something terrible coming, in the vein of that one episode of Digimon Adventure 02.

At my day job today, I realized that nobody's made a noteworthy sitcom set in a movie theater — even though it's rife with opportunities for Comedy! Coworker drama! Movie tie-ins! PRODUCT PLACEMENT! (And, if the creator so chooses, Meta humor and Fourth-Wall Breaks a la Community.)

Basically, a well-written sitcom about daily life at a movie theater should be a stupidly easy sell.

Seven people go back in time come back and inadvertently cause the zombie apacolypse by bring several diseases and parisites humans don't know how to deal with. With the protagonists going back in time and setting up circumstances in which they can kill said people before the apocalypse is started but making sure that things are still set up to where they would go back and kill the original seven to avoid a Hitler Paradox situation.

A stupid exchange I came up with.

Alice is walking down a hall, when Bob steps into her path.

A child grows up during the Cold War as part of a Super-Soldier project:"The Asset" is a feral kiling machine on the battlefield, but a scared little kid at home. Said child becomes a teen during The '60s, then a young adult during The '70s and The '80s.

Now grown, the Asset now has a family and a spouse and is even the chief agent of the agency that ran the program so long ago.

But times change and The War On Terror just has too much grey for our protagonist.

However the child of the Asset inherited all the main characters abilities and willingly wants to fight.

Can our (reluctant) hero convince the child to not repeat the same mistakes, but the child wants their parent to go on one last mission.

The Things That Drop From Space: what if some alien race decided to use Earth as their scrapheap? It starts innocently: some space junk crashes on Earth and much to the consternation of governments, research organizations and telecom companies, it's none of theirs. Initial research proves fruitless, as the thing might have worked at some point, but now it deorbited, hit the ground and the best the eggheads can get out of it are samples of Green Rocks of some kind.

Then it gets worse. Or better. Better and worse actually, as the frequency of falling junk increases, some of it turns to be serviceable Imported Alien Phlebotinum, but some of it tends to collide with whatever we left up in orbit, including fully working satellites, or land in a populated area. Also, there are, understandably, geopolitical consequences, as everyone wants to get into the unavoidable E.T. Gave Us Wi-Fi deal, and that of course leads to a Lensman Arms Race.

Full on battle between magicians and steampunk/clockpunk robots who have human soul inside them.

To elaborate, there was a war between humans and magicians... and magicians won. However, before dying out, humans decided to upload their consciousness to robots called "Vessels". Well, those that could, anyway.

While most "Vessels" are pretty obvious, some have an appearance of a normal human being. Those Vessels are respected among "humans" (as in, those robots) because, well, they are essentially reborn humans.

The plot is essentially a battle between lovers who are fated to kill each other (the girl is a magician, while the boy is a Vessel). And it won't end like Romeo and Juliet. In many ways.

A fantasy book where the Unreliable Narrator constantly proclaims the hero as noble, compassionate, perceptive, and intelligent, while the events show this character is obviously a villain.

Bonus points for humor.

A show where a millennial gets irreversibly sent back to The Roaring '20s and uses her future-knowledge to win at the stock market and support marginalized people. Full to the brim with electro-swing, historical drama, and sci-fi mysteries.

I've had a few ideas that I think aren't going to fly in my hands. Here's one: a comeback vehicle for Molly Ringwald that serves as a feminist Genre Throwback to action movies of The '80s. Think Cobra or Commando.

A woman deals with the loss of a family member. A mysterious Ghost Train travels the entire world and across realities, always going westward. It only ever stops at midnight. One night, she happens upon the Ghost Train and climbs aboard. The train takes her to mystical places that all give her some insight on love, loss, The Meaning of Life and Death, and what it means to be part of the world...

I really want to write this someday, but it'll be very far in the future if I do. For now, I just want to write it down somewhere.

A modern-day ronin, a thief, an assassin, and a mute woman all wake up in the basement of a bar, with no memory of who they are or why they're in a bar located on an island populated entirely by tourists.

The story takes place over the course of 24 hours as they try to find out who the hell they are, and why they keep getting attacked by cyborg soldiers.

An action/comedy called "A Day at the Beach".

...actually that sounds kinda stupid. But maybe it could work.

A comedy scene, in script format, for you guys to use (with the Alice and Bob as placeholders):^note  Yes Regular Car Reviews was an inspiration

INTERIOR - a kitchen with two characters, an "island" between then. On the island is a cutting board, ALICE has various containers with handwritten labels on them

Alice: "Okay, how that you want to eat proper nutrition instead of that junk you eat, here's your first course."

ALICE drops a baggie into a nearby trashcan

Bob: "Hey, my mom's pot roast isn't -"

Alice: "Bob, if you don't start eating healthy instead of blood the doctor will be drawing cheese from your veins. She said you need a balanced diet."

ALICE starts to open containers.

Bob: "Hey the plate sits there level, food on both sides, my diet is balanced!"

ALICE gives Bob a Death Glare

Alice: "Okay, a tortilla of kelp and soy, organic non-dairy cheese, vegan butter -"

Bob: "Um I think the tupperware is tastier."

ALICE then slaps a large red fish on the tortilla

Alice: "AND WE GARNISH IT WITH A SALMON STUFFED WITH VITAMINS"

Bob: "It-it-it....still has the eyes' ...."

BOB his face turning green gives a deer in the headlights look at ALICE

Alice[with a deep Guttural Growler voice]: "I call it the "gains-arito" or the "SWOLE TIDE!"

BEAT

Bob: "...."

Alice [in a much sweeter tone]: "C'mon, the doctor also said you needed some exercise. I have two hours of crossfit planned. Your gains will be mad legit!"

ALICE shoves her "creation" into Bobs face.

I have a joke someone can use.

A massive invasion has begun and has raptured the city in chaos. The man who's responsible for the invasion just walks around the city. He says "Wait, I just remembered I had the perfect song for this!" and then, taking out a stereo, he presses play and what was originally an apocalyptic choir or suspenseful orchestra...Is replace with Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back in Town
