DPP: Keep the Title, Toss the Rest
Sep. 9th, 2011 08:51 amHey peeps, It's FRIDAY!! (Why do short weeks always seem the longest?!) Before I Get to today's little game, just want to give a shoutout to yesterday's KISSING MEME. There's lots of great little fics, pretty art, and gifs featuring pilots K-I-S-S-I-N-Ging. I strongly encourage folks to keep adding to it. There are some great kisses already, but surely we haven't tapped the depth and variety we could just yet.
Anyway, tomorrow I plan to put up another writing challenge for the weekend (hint: start thinking about your favorite romantic tropes/cliches in fiction now!), so today I thought we could play a fun little game.
Here is a list of all the episodes of BSG. Your job is to choose an episode title, and completely toss out the canon plot and give us a new summary of what the episode should be about. You can be as cracktastic or as serious as you want with these. And they don't have to fit into the general timeline of the show/where the episode actually occurred at all.
For example, perhaps you think Blood on the Scales should be an episode about Fat Lee Adama's epic weight loss battle after New Caprica. It could be filled with tons of Rocky-like training montages, and even a moment of utter despair where Lee turns to cutting himself (while weighing himself!) because he's so depressed! Naturally he would rally when Helo asks Kara to forget their differences and come down and whip him into shape.
The sky's the limit, so have fun. And remember, get those fic muscles warmed up writing some kisses and get ready for the weekend Trope Showdown!
