Title: I bet you can't ____________
Post by: Serack on February 22, 2012, 12:05:33 PM
Some of Jim's coolest inspirations came from internet bets that he couldn't do something...

Examples would be the entire Alera series came from a bet that he couldn't write a good story based off of Lost Roman Legion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legio_IX_Hispana) and Pokémon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon).  Also the plot twist at the start of...

So what thing do you see in books frequently that annoys you and you wish you would never come across in a book again, yet like picking at a scab, you wonder if Jim could put some of his creative genious into it and come up with another masterpiece?

I bet you can't _________

Not the same thing, but I'm pretty sure that Jim brought the term Blampire (used in BR when Harry talked to Eb about the blampire nest fight) over from the boards as a deliberate nod to the online community.

^I like your thinking.  There are a few of us that would like to see this happen.  ;D

If I were going to go for a plot point, I would wonder how he would write in...

That's because the alien angle in the second Highlander movie was a complete sequel Failure and should be completely erased from the history of Highlander. The second one was So dumb, it's truly an embarrassment to the awesomeness of the original.
No one can write anything to make that movie make sense or be significant. It was a fan fic  gone Horribly awry. XD

highlander 3 (and the series) were technicaly even worse.

At the end of the first, he was 'the one' with all that entailed.
Not 'the one' not currently stuck in a cave or 'the one' amongst several million other immortals and some sort of ninja priests.....

Heh, the series was entertaining though. I always passed it off as like "the next round", even though that still doesn't forgive the destruction of the great ending of the first one. They should have made the series like a prequel, go back with Conner and Duncan, start where Conner left Heather's grave, middle of the series where he met Duncan, end where he killed the Kurgan -I think I spelled that right- but that would mean that Duncan would have been killed off, because -ahem- "There can be only One!" XD
Heh, I totally geeked out the other day I finally got to see all of Shawshank Redemption, and realized the big mean guard is the actor that played the Kurgan :) geek point!

Actually, a sleeping fan fic i am working on is doing this... the rule of time travel is only about moving AGAINST the flow of time. Moving FORWARD is totaly allowed, as we all do it at one second per second. If Merlin just... accellerated, to make sure some of his old foes don't come back, well...

I bet you can't work a Glee-like musical number into the plot using the main charaters as the performers.  So no shunting it off on Toot and crew and letting Harry just watch.  No Carpenter kid or Maggir Jr. school musicals either. I want Harry, Murphy, Thomas, Molly, Sanya, Carlos and then any other main character necessary, rehearsing, dancing and singing!  And the book must end with the final performance.

HA!  The gauntlet has been thrown! ;D

But he Could just put Harry into a coma and have that going on in his head while switching every chapter or so to a different character's POV to get a good Dresden action adventure story that would be happening in the real world XD

Nah, Jim's too good a writer to pull something like that.  Obviously he's not going to actually take these bets, or even read them most likely.  But if he were to take a bet, he wouldn't worm out of it by putting Harry in a coma and using the Dallas-esque "It was all a dream" crap.  He'd do it right.

I'm going to throw in a few combinations I think would be awesome but I don't know anyone (else) that could do them:

The suits/houses of cards (or possibly tarot?) as characters, macaroni cheese as a plot point, dark brooding technology, and a heist.

Midsummer Night's Dream from Puck's PoV

Kilts, corsets and quantum physics.

Wow. Um it's hard to think of something.
Got ideas just thinking about:

Atlantas and Phineas & Ferb or My Little Ponies
Grecian Gods and Ballet
Wine making and mermaids
Tinker Bell and The founding of America

The Himalayas in Tibet -- plenty high, plenty of ice and snow. Not exactly a tropical beach locale.

So, say that Mab calls Harry to a meeting there or he goes to confront a cantankerous yeti or some such. A sweet Temple Dog puppy who's often heard her elders telling hero tales about Mouse's exploits manages to conceal herself in Harry's gear in order to get herself smuggled to Chicago.

Y'know, like a nubile young groupie sneaking past the security guards to try to hook up with the rock star she adores.
A Mouse groupie. Gwen Stacy or Mary-Jane Watson but with puppy breath and a plumy tail.
Can't be just a short story, though, because it'll take at least a year or two for her to grow up a bit.

Tibetan Mastiffs may not have a formalized law code defining age of consent but Mouse is always a very law-abiding canine citizen as well as a serious crimefighter.
No robbing the cradle for Mouse. He would consider that to be inappropriate and a smear against his honor and dignity at the very least.

Not snarky, the truth. I can't think of much more hero-like than putting yourself between a knife-wielding psycho and your friend.

Granted, but I would like one from Butters point of view. (how could a "short story" from Butter's POV hurt? Do you not like Butters?)
