Okay, so I like to write. Problem is that I often have trouble coming up with ideas. If you're interested, this is where you come in.

I need suggestions/ideas.

My thought is this: give me an idea or suggestion and will write a short story about it. Once the story is written, I'll post it here: http://atyoursuggestion.blogspot.com/. The stories will mainly be flash-fiction, but I hope they'll be fun. I'm taking any and all suggestions right now, so let me have 'em. Hopefully this will be something enjoyable, and not something that gets me mocked... of course, it could be both of those things and that would be fine, too.

The Suggestions and their stories
1. "could u rite me a story about how i cum hom 1 day 2 find faye in my bed an then we have sex"
-- The Waitress
2. "Write a story about the action packed adventures of my dick as a loose cannon cop."
-- The End of McDongal
3. "Pen a heartfelt, clever tale about a boy and his unicorn."
-- Roger and the Unicorn
4. "I would certainly enjoy a little bit of fiction around the theme of lucid dreaming."
-- Turnaround
5. "I want a written adaptation of Dick v. Dick v. Dick."
6. " Retell Kramer Vs. Kramer with Power Rangers."
7. "write a short about the unicorn who stabbed and bit small children to death."
8. "I think you should write a story about a bunch of anthropomorphic vegetables in a vegetable garden that get into a war with the weeds."
9. (I'm assuming this isn't a song quote I've never heard or a poem I've never read). "Write a story of my breaking heart, and the sound it made as it came apart. Tell the tale of my sundered hope and the colour spilled when I could not cope. Explain to all of my rotten smile and each secret thoughts most vile. Give me words on what I've done and why I stare now into the sun. Write a verse of things I regret and all the fear that fills me yet."
10. "Please, finally, someone tell the tale of Kurt Russel and his crimefighting jazz-funk quintet. (He's the bassist)"
11. Pt. 1 "Tell the touching story of a young D&D nerd who goes back in time to save a Princess from an Evil Count but is stabbed viciously by a faceless bandit and dies.
Pt. 2 "Later his friend goes back in time to save him, but is also stabbed to death. This time by a dirty little street urchin."
12. "The conversation between Oedipus and his wife after learning that she is also his mother"
13. "A story about buying your girlfriend an engagement ring and when the salesperson asked you about her you mention her name then they ask for her last name and you tell them and they are like WTF because it's their girlfriend too."
14. "A) Re-write Dante's journey through hell as Mr. T instead of Dante, and you can choose to have Virgil in there or not.
B) Re-write Dante's journey through hell as narrated by Mr. T, again, Virgil can be there or not.
C) Re-write Dante's journey through hell and instead of Virgil guiding Dante, Mr. T is guiding Dante."

Laugh it up, you. I wrote something.

The Waitress.

Definitely not the best I've done, but not a horrible start. Other thoughts/ideas?

Thanks to this thread, this is the worst day ever.

Oli · « **Reply #4 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 09:44 »

FML.

I've read the writtin' now, it is okay. I like how the narrator ends up in the shit because the narrator is the 'I' in post number 2. Oh also there is a mistake in the 2nd last paragraph you might wanna correct.

Pen a heartfelt, clever tale about a boy and his unicorn.

ZJGent · « **Reply #8 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 10:12 »

I think that we are being vastly unfair to the original poster. Isn't this thread of a similar premise to the Writing Thread? I thought that thread was excellent. Why not make this thread excellent as well.

...

If you are still up for more writing, rolling20s, I would certainly enjoy a little bit of fiction around the theme of lucid dreaming.

Gilead · « **Reply #9 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 10:18 »

Man my suggestion was entirely serious <\|: I

Slick · « **Reply #10 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 10:28 »

Gilead would definitely draw a comic of that so it's only fair that he can ask for a story of it.

Also, attitudes people, attitudes. What the fuck.

IronOxide · « **Reply #11 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 10:30 »

I want a written adaptation of Dick v. Dick v. Dick.

Rolling20s · « **Reply #12 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 11:43 »

Like I said, all suggestions are valid. I like two of the others that have come down. I'll see if I can get one of them done before my next class. I'll need more clarification on dick v dick v dick (maybe that's a bad thing to ask for in the case, but oh well).

Also, I corrected that error in the second to last paragraph.

@gilead - illustrations to go along with these would be totally awesome (as if you're not asked to draw enough stuff as it is, but still).

Edit: I think, having come across another suggestion that I missed, I'm going to complie the suggestions and the links to the stories in the first post. I'll link them as a response as well so folks can see when stuff is added (if they want to read).

Emaline · « **Reply #13 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 12:35 »

No offence, and this may have been said, but couldn't you have posted this in the short story thread? I mean, I realize its not a short story, but its kind of the same. I don't know.

Anyway, I always look up things I want to write about to get ideas. I like writing about people with deformities, so in general I start there.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #14 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 13:11 »

Retell Kramer Vs. Kramer with Power Rangers.

snalin · « **Reply #15 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 13:13 »

write a short about the unicorn who stabbed and bit small children to death.

I genuinely thought this was cute. I loved the O. Henry ending, the little bits of foreshadowing...

I mean, there are definitely points where the writing is a little bit clunky (the driving around and phone call sections in particular), and line editing might help ("how often to you expect," "the phone when dead," etc.), but overall it was an engaging and entertaining working of what seemed at first a pretty lame suggestion.

Speaking of lame suggestions, I think you should write a story about a bunch of anthropomorphic vegetables in a vegetable garden that get into a war with the weeds.

Tell the touching story of a young D&D nerd who goes back in time to save a Princess from an Evil Count but is stabbed viciously by a faceless bandit and dies.

Later his friend goes back in time to save him, but is also stabbed to death. This time by a dirty little street urchin.

Rolling20s · « **Reply #20 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 16:33 »

Alright, the next one is ready to go. This one is based on suggestions #2.

The End of McDongal

I looked this one over a bit more and did a line-edit. If you see anything amiss, let me know.

Rolling20s · « **Reply #21 on:** 24 Feb 2009, 19:00 »

I'm on a roll, apparently.

Roger and the Unicorn.

It turned out much more sweet than clever. Thank you to everyone who has given suggestions, even if you were being snarky with them. This has been a good thing, I think.

This has pretty much already been written. I'm almost certain it is in Oedipus Rex.

-Karamazov- · « **Reply #24 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 01:31 »

I'm pretty sure Jocasta just went and hung herself instead and Oedipus figured it out for himself. What we are missing is an awkward conversation in between.

Jace · « **Reply #25 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 02:44 »

I'm pretty sure stories about motherfuckers don't matter anyways.

A story about buying your girlfriend an engagement ring and when the salesperson asked you about her you mention her name then they ask for her last name and you tell them and they are like WTF because it's their girlfriend too.. FML

Rolling20s · « **Reply #27 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 11:45 »

Turnaround

This one's the lucid dreaming one. I think it is pretty okay.

SirJuggles · « **Reply #28 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 13:08 »

Why has no one mentioned how great that dick story was?

Rolling20's, that Dick story was amazing. I just thought you should know.

Rolling20s · « **Reply #29 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 14:20 »

Thanks! I had fun writing that one. I just hope Gilead likes it; it's about his man-tackle, after all.

I give you three options;
A) Re-write Dante's journey through hell as Mr. T instead of Dante, and you can choose to have Virgil in there or not.
B) Re-write Dante's journey through hell as narrated by Mr. T, again, Virgil can be there or not.
C) Re-write Dante's journey through hell and instead of Virgil guiding Dante, Mr. T is guiding Dante.

Any of the three you want. Now of course Dante's journey is a little long, so feel free to shorten it and keep the hilarity.

JD · « **Reply #32 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 18:00 »

I second Viscount's suggestion.
