The Ideas Exchange

[Shini]

The idea (ha) of this thread is a place for people to share the plots, plans and thoughts that they might not be able to actualise themselves.
If you've had a really good idea that you don't have the time, characters or opportunity to play out or make use of, why not share it for others?

How to use this thread

Simply post your ideas (in bullet points if you have more than one) and then people can come and peruse and use them. If they're one-use sort of ideas and somebody says they're going to take them, you can feel free to strike them out - please don't make use of struck-out ideas.
Feel free to specify if you'd like them to be one-use or free-for-all, or any other provisos you'd like to add.

Suitable ideas include; Plots, twists on specific characters, twists on general characters, threads (these can also be specific, you never know, the people playing those characters might spot them and think it's a good idea as well), other general things you'd like to see.

Please make your ideas as clear and concise as possible so people understand them

For people wanting to use the ideas, PM the person in question if you want clarification, and if you use it, even only as inspiration for ideas of your own, thank them - with words or karma - for the help

Make sense?

A few ideas of my own;

• More characters coming from before their story begins, since the school is supposed to be preparing them for their stories after all!
  
• More characters from way after the story ends - best for teachers, how about alumni coming back to teach after their story is done? Or even just to live here. This would help expand the idea that Tintagel has been around a while, which would be nice.
  
• I always loved the idea of reducing a big scary villain to an annoying twelve year old who goes around trying to gain power and influence in a variety of hilarious ways. I never decided on a who and have too many other character ideas to use this one.
  
• A random idea if anyone wants to take Flynn Rider - what about playing him as Eugene?

• Henry has an older brother. I kind of set it up so that could be Snow White's prince, if anyone was interested in playing up that idea.
  
• Henry has little brothers. If anyone needs more Prince Charmings, feel free to expand his family tree. I think it would be cool if this tied in with other storylines.
  
• One of the Charmings is named Philip. I noticed there wasn't a Sleeping Beauty yet--this could be played as a story in training, with a very young princess, prince, and even a young Maleficent.

I am of the opinion that there should be a "that night we never talk about" thread, where people all get drunk in the woods, several people lose their virginity, a few get high and then they wake up the next morning... There should probably be magic mixed in with the debauchery. Any takers?

[Deleted]

I am most certainly down for a "that night we never talk about" thread, and I'll willingly volunteer Chel for it, since she's likely to be an instigator of such an activity. I'd prolly throw Remy in it too. Don't know about Levi and Astrid...

This is half a post here and half a suggestion, but could we do some OoC talk about the major plot thing that's happening? I started up a Gandalf thread, and I'm willing to help out anyone who wants to get things moving. Gandalf's literally in a position to start moving people along their own plots, and he's been working to get this thing going. I've also got Levi here on support, and I'm willing to throw any of my other character up there.

Just let me know what you'd like your character to do for the whole upcoming plot thing, particularly on the defense, and I'm willing to help and get you the thread going. I've no problem being someone's buddy just to get their own plots going. It's like the prime time to do it, people!

(and no, this isn't my super plan that I'm gonna be launching soon. That should come after I haven't exhausted myself posting in my 20+ threads @.@ )

I'll be posting in that thread of yours shortly with a few of my characters. I need to catch you on chatango/msn/e-mail even to talk to you about some plot things.

I was just wondering, since we have this war going on, if anyone from the Army of Wayron wanted to come and fight Bo? I don't know the specifics, but I do know that Bo is defending the shops. Anyone interested?

[Deleted]

Since I'm not sure exactly where this idea of mine might be discussed (I don't feel it needs a full thread) and I don't know where else to put it, I'm sticking it here until someone redirects me.

So Henry is Missing in Action, but that's because he's incapable of succeeding at anything he attempts and I didn't know where to put him. I'm interested in bringing him back, and I have a couple of thoughts on this point that I would like some feedback on (if anyone cares):

----Option 1: Henry was captured by the Army of Wayron and is a prisoner of war. He hangs out with the other prisoners.
------Option 1a: Henry is treated no differently from the other prisoners, he's just some idiot who got caught.
------Option 1b: Henry is treated worse than everyone else because he, Astrid, and Arthur kind of beat up a squad before the war began. (Okay, mostly Astrid and Arthur, but he was there.)
------Option 1c: Henry is actually being held in an entirely different area from the other prisoners because they hate him so much, and he'd really like to be rescued sometime please and thank you.
-----------------If I choose to go with putting Henry as a prisoner of war, I would like to know which of the three scenarios is most likely according to our wonderful plot coordinators. I just want to stay most in character.

----Option 2: Henry is under an enchantment in the woods.
------Option 2a: He is rescued by someone he knows.
------Option 2b: He is rescued by someone he has never met before.
--------I like either of these, because I think it could be awesome no matter which way it is played. If you have a character that you would like to rescue a charming prince with, please let me know. (Particularly interesting people in my mind include Snow White/Cinderella/Lottie/Giselle/one of the princesses). The particular spell will be tailored to match whoever comes to rescue him, and your character will have one of those indebted-to-you-for-life things to play off of.

What are people most interested in seeing, and is there anyone who would like to thread any of this out?

Whatever you decide on, I gladly offer up Snow if you want her for anything. Also, if Henry is lost in the woods, Tulio and Bartok may be wandering around there too, so if Tibby is cool with it they could always find him. An unlikely trio, that. ;D

[Deleted]

If you go with option 2b, Bast would be perfect for that... once she gets accepted. Also, I think option 2 would be more interesting no matter who you chose to save him.

[Deleted]

If you go with 1A Helena's happy to chit chat with him, since they're both in their together and shit. He could probably help Mia keep her from doing something stupid.

[Deleted]

If you choose option 1c, Bo would like to badass her way in there and save Henry.

[Shini]

Well I'm trying to work out something to do with Cinders and I was toying with the idea of her getting a bit less sweet and innocent and more badass, and she's been awol possibly in the woods, so...

[Lancelot du Lac]

I figure I'm just gonna go ahead and put down my "big idea" here, since there's really no need to be all circumspect about it.

Anyway, I was thinking of a way of working Gandalf's disappearance into the larger picture. I was particularly thinking of the times he disappeared in his own canon, which usually meant he was off somewhere recruiting somebody or something to come back and help the forces of good at just about the right moment. Along that same line, I've been debating for a while about bringing out a few of my older characters that weren't quite finished with their stories but close.

So basically, what I was hoping to do was have Gandalf find a way through the portals again. Since he's been doing research into it and had some idea, it would theoretically be somewhat possible. He'd go search for allies, and Queen Cimorene of the Enchanted Forest would be among the volunteers who would come back. I was also debating bringing back Prince Paris, Second Son of Priam, Prince of Troy. Since the Helen issue was resolved the way I handled the story, Paris would have some pull. so the idea was to have the two royals I used to control come back to help out their allies. Then, I could officially retire the characters I ran for a while.

I wouldn't mind necessarily bringing back some of my other retired character; Tom especially coming to mind, but I was thinking more along this line. It would give the resistance some more troops and stuff as well, but I didn't know if there isn't something planned in the grander scheme of things.

I would love it if Cinderella rescued Henry, and I would love any future shenanigans with people as they run around in the woods. I think it could add some really interesting dynamics to the characters. I'll jump over to your plot page and we can have more chats there.

Also, Fate...Would a teenage (Disney) Hercules fit into your plans? I've been developing an idea, and I've already gotten some good responses on it, but if you're already working to bring in some big heroes Gandalf could always take credit for his appearance. Only if you're interested and if it gets the go-ahead.
