NAME: 86 List - Miscellaneous Leftovers DATED: 2014-05-07 ARCHIVED: 2020-07-13 (c) Copyright Brett Paufler # # # # # # # # # # # # # # For a year or two (or possibly upwards of eight if you trust the above date and believe I worked continually from beginning to end), I kept a running list of Story Ideas, which I called my 86 List. When I archived that (elsewhere on this site, likely in Broken Stories), I culled a few items (and they are very few in number), presumably because I wished to save them for later. Well, later never came nor is it likely to ever come. So, I am archiving them in ./notes. In truth, I am in Archive Mode and there are plenty of scraps here and there which need to be treated (i.e. processed for archiving) and which really belong in the Writing Spur. But better to archive this now (today) in the wrong spot than get bogged down in filing details. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # The Sick - Computer Game {Back before I realized how ridiculously hard it would be to make a computer game, I thought about creating one (or a series of mini-games) using the world of The Sick as a starting point.} Beach - strategy volleyball, surfing Road Rally - Kelly (airport to beach, tile laying game) (can add one tile to end or take one away) Bryce - plane, try to make it from Restroom in back to first class, Celli is the pilot Road Through Lahina as a Tower Defense Game (keep the cops, FBI, and so on out) Time as a Currency (along with meth, followers, real estate ???) Squid Invaders (asteroids, tentacles) - 6 shooter, first hit splits to five; if babies hit edge of screen, come back as full {It's amazing how many of my stories have germinated from an erotic thought or two... and after enough expansion, it's possible to fade the sex out.} Black Ribbons on wrist, chains for a slave, looking out from a balcony, waiting, watching, wondering... Short hair, baggy pants, looking like a boy, acting like a boy, treat her like a boy... for the role is of a cabin boy who is really a girl in disguise. Blonde at the Bar, man staring at her as she watches the band, pauses by the table as she leaves... the fantasy of a moonlit stroll, before her boat leaves... and goodbye, two boats in the night. Pair of girls team up, getting each other dates with cute boys, by talking in stores, bars, etc. about how they need someone for cover, for a wedding, because parents are coming to town, and so on. We should practice kissing first, so it looks natural... Now, to keep the guy, they need to produce the wedding, parents, and so on. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # The last is more than enough plot (at least at a starting point) for a RomCom, if you ask me. The vast majority of the ideas were cut as being little more than a moment in time, which had at one point seemed worthy of note, but which now are trivially unimportant... and not of the sort I wish to memorialise any further.
