This site is designed to help novel, short story, movie,
television, play, and video game writers develop new plot ideas. Over 2000
scenarios ranging from the normal to the bizarre are provided as a spark
for the imagination. Some plots are sitcom cliches (that might deserve
a new twist) while others are unusual happenings gleaned from the world
of news and a few odd minds. Other story ideas are subtle suggestions that
could be taken several ways - according to your mood or whim at the moment.
Some others are everyday situations given an interesting wrinkle. Take
a look for yourself.
And since this site will always be a work-in-progress
check back for updates. And send us your additions to share with other
writers....
