SGI "short" Story Workshop 2.2 Topic Suggestions

Have you ever watched a movie or a TV show and you did not like the ending? How about a comic book or perhaps a web story? Were you unhappy that Supergirl’s love for Brainiac 5 in Adventure 368 caused the Super Duper Girl legionaries to lose their enhanced powers?

Perhaps just once CF would like to see Mark defeat Brandi and take her powers (and if you believe that, I would really like to talk to you about some
beautiful ocean view property here in Phoenix).

Well LFan, now is your chance! How about a short story where the ending of a movie/TV Show/comic/Web story is changed! Think of the Edutainment value! We could all enjoy the new stories as well as perhaps find stories that we did not know even existed. You could allow the author
a few words to explain the original story and ending and where it is from without it counting against the word total.

And what excuse would anyone have for not participating? You don’t even have to make up a story, just change one.

So call now! Operators are standing by (and they would really like to sit down!)

As for the short, still thinking about it but leaning toward WP's "break someone from protective custody" --- sounds intriguing....

Intriguing, yes, but maybe a little too specific. How about just making the theme "protective custody" and leaving it at that? Thus, the ubergirl could break someone out of custody, as with the original suggestion, but the less specific theme would also allow her to be the one protecting someone in custody, or even be the person being protected herself, if she didn't realize her powers or got them while in custody.

Just a thought,

He he he.

As usual, what I don't write is just as important as what I do.

I was actually planning on a liberal shoveling of my usual creative license on the 'break someone from creative custody' were it to be chosen. I never said 'facility', just 'custody'. Never said 'start from the outside', just 'break from'. And 'protective' is always relative to your point of view.

For example a scene I'd envisioned for it would take place in a mob-controlled gentleman's club, where the owner was detaining an otherwise hostile witness. The ubergirl in question's secret ID would be as a police detective. She and her partner would agree to investigate the club incognito and split up. While the partner takes up position at the bar, as agreed, she agrees to snoop around backstage. Well...until she blazes on stage in her police outfit and tries to put on a 'dirty cop' show and effect the hostage escape without blowing her REAL cover.

You know how those things usualy go. Anyway, just one "inside the box? what box?" example that I'd consider "perfectly by-the-book". :roll:

Well, to the "letter of the law" perhaps. :roll:

Carry on.

Love,
