- A fight scene on the outside of this building

Fragments
Novel ideas are just a combination of weird quirks that interest me enough to require toying with them. Sometimes, though, I only end up with one little fragment of an idea with no idea as to what to put with it. Here I will compile some of these fragments, and maybe I (or you!) can figure out what should go together, or what else should be brought in.

1. That's ... interesting. XD It reminds me of how my sister once tried to convince me that all mimes took a vow of silence and never spoke, even outside of their jobs. The sad thing is that I almost believed her (and this wasn't that long ago, either.)
ReplyDelete2. Now that I think of it, I haven't seen you write traditional fantasy yet; that'd be neat.
3. Oh, you...
4. That's probably the most interesting one out of all of these. I'm not sure where it would go, but it's a very original idea!
5. Sort of like Mamma Mia, then! That'd be really neat! Which songs would you use? (I imagine that Don't Stop Believing would have to be the big show-stopper.)
6. That's a neat idea; sort of a reverse of the usual themes associated with disabled characters. To be honest, it sometimes annoys me in stories when characters are *totally* independent and see it as a sign of weakness to ask for help, so to see that trait deconstructed would be cool.
7. XD
8. I was actually in a tea store on my music trip this year where there were thousands of different tea names, all of them completely original and weird. I can't remember a single one, though.
9. Oooh
10. You have no idea how long I laughed over that one. XD
11. For some reason (i.e. Terrible) I read that as 'Lizzie and Felix.'
12. That'd be amazing! XD
Given the nature of most Journey songs, it would probably need to be some sort of Romance (although it would be neat to make the main song "Dead or Alive").
DeleteHehe.
