Best Story Ever! #1

We have a library with some empty shelves. So what do we need? Books! Tons of books! Gajillions of books! Thankfully there's a whole fluffle of plot bunnies around to inspire you to the

As some of you know, plot bunnies are a frantic and chaotic species. So every bunny got a number on their back to better identify them. What are you waiting for? Pick one now.

Every plot bunny will tell you an idea. Collect them to build your story. Each successful novel needs a place, an action and - since we're celebrating valentines - not just one, but TWO characters.

Use this form, if you want to reveal a particular bunny's idea:

Rules

Pick a number to reveal either a place, action, or character hidden behind.

No double posts. At least one other person has to post before you can pick a number again.

Once you know one place, one action and two characters, submit those numbers for 10 lost books to make those random ideas into a story.

You don't have to reveal them all yourself - you can also snag other people's ideas. Novel writing is a harsh business. Someone stole your idea? Bad luck!

If you successfully created a story, you need to wait 12 hours before you can play again.

Each place, action or character may only be used for a story once. Once used by someone, it's gone... unless you bribe the editor. In order to bribe, post a picture of the already taken place/action/character when submitting your story. You may only post one picture, the other three ideas have to be original. This will increase your wait time to 24 hours.

Added to clarify: You don't need any superior writing skills for this game. In fact, all you have to do is collect place, action and characters and post their numbers before anyone else beats you to them. Filling a library was never so easy!

Don't fall off a cliff-hanger! Pre-order all the issues today! The first 100 issues include a special forward by actor and Bake-Off enthusiast, Brent Spiner.

But meanwhile...

In the stark world of Gothicus, Wednesday Adams finds herself staring at a puddle of *something* unknown and dangerous...it comes from the sky and pools among the skeletal branches of the trees, encroaching on the old Adams Estate. Her monocromatic world is being consumed.

It's a path of madness to restore the worlds on opposite ends of the visual spectrum...with NINJA!

Joining forces, Adams and Dash must learn the ways of their enemies to defeat the ninja clan in their very lair inside the Spooky Cave of Psychadelisis! Mwahahahaha!

but seeing as murder mysteries are meaningless to a skeleton, it wasn't too difficult to just step around the body and keep walking to the nearest shady place to nap, which thankfully was only 4 feet away, on the other side of the body.

I'll come back to life in a little while, that much is certain. Of all the places to be thirsty, it had to while I was getting lost crossing through Africa. The water here is awful and not deep enough to sink into. Not even deep enough to drink! I collapsed here, and luckily death took me, instead of that three headed freak from outer space! My spirit lingers close by in case the humans track me down and graciously grant me the nice, nuclear radioactive water I, as king of monsters
and of my planet, need desperately. I have only been waiting for three days and the animals all keep away from my corpse, even the birds and- is that walking skeleton in a sweater? Hideous. Still, not as terrible as the monstrosity that is the gargantua twins. At least he does not smell like a corpse. Now the little skeleton is taking a nap right beside my spine. I guess the dead must rest too.

mdom: You sneak close to a plot bunny and catch it. All of a sudden you get the idea to write a story that takes place in the Kalahari Desert.

Witchchylde: You cuddle with a plot bunny, and it whispers in your ear you could write a story about people who bake a giant cake.

You grab a chestnut on a string and try to hypnotize a plot bunny. It must've worked, because now you get the urge to write a story about Captain Picard.

:/ I don't know who this Captain Picard is, but when I searched up his career, it seems he was also a professor and headmaster of a school for gifted youngsters. B/
Verrrrry suspicious. I sense a correlation between his career paths and that of piracy. He's probably not even French is he? >_<

We do not (officially) condone piracy. Therefore all information regarding whether or not a person of questionable morals might be a frenchman, or a frenchman might be a person of questionable morals, or a person acting from purely ulterior motives might be either a frenchman, or of questionable morals... etc. is absolutely and positively classified.

*snap* >:/ darn.
Well, I guess I'll have to use my impression of who Captain Picard is based on my extremely flawed knowledge of the Star Trek series. <x'} *shrug*
