could also go for something realistic.

like writing a story about a soldier, or a specific event, like the olympics, something inspiring or incredible. or something sad, that could be part of the real world.

Well that's not fair. That's means any one of us with a suggestion could be leading the competition in our favor...

I will say that so far you've had assassination, a dire situation, and the end of the world. How about something a little bit more cheery this time around, bucko? 😋

Or, suggesting anything is pointless since it can't be picked because of the same fact :lok:
Besides, it's my only idea thus far :lol1-onion-head-emoticon::lol1-onion-head-emoticon::sigar:

Cheer...ry? What is this happy stuff you speak of 🤔

Anyway, you say be in your favour, but i've picked the themes so far and even entered the last one. It all comes down to the voters.

And in my defence.... end of the world is cheery... it's a comedy theme xD

Alright, here's a proper theme suggestion beside the potential Murder Mystery/Crime Fiction one that me and Pete have been cooking. It's more so a layout than a theme and this is just the basics of the idea:

Plane Crash on a Deserted Island (Using tv series Lost as inspiration)

Your plane has crashed somewhere over the Pacific Oceans in the middle of nowhere. Somehow, some way, you and 5 other survivors have managed to get a lifeboat going as you reach the shore of a deserted island. What happens next?

...

You could potentially flesh this out Dan if you'd like with your own version of it, maybe give us an idea of who the 5 other characters are and what the first thing we do as we come ashore is, maybe include a list of what the survivors need to do or go through, or keep it entirely open. This idea hit me while at work totally by random, so thought I would toss it out there to see what people think. Reason I think this is cool is because everyone would have the same basis/premise for place and characters, but people could go off in total different directions as to what genre it is. Is it a Romance? Horror story? Or something else?:lok:

PS: It doesn't have to be 1st person or you yourself as main character. That's just part of the example.

why the need for more survivors than yourself?
