STRAIGHT FROM THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: Character/plot ideas I thought up while driving and listening to the new Taylor Swift album. It would be irresponsible for me to make a new character every time I have An Idea, so HERE YOU GO <3
But Daddy I Love Him: In love with someone her parents will not allow her to marry, a young woman fakes a pregnancy with him. Will her plan be successful—allowing her to reveal the truth after the fact (No, I'm not, but you should see your faces)—or will it backfire, seeing her forced into an undesirable (to her) match?
Guilty as Sin: What if I roll the stone away? They're gonna crucify me anyway. A character with an aspect of themself rejected by society—homosexual? Half-vampire? Something else?—decides 'fuck it' and to live as their best self.
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?: A wallflower debuante, listening and gathering all the scandalous details but too reserved to do anything about it, finally snaps and begins being very public about what she knows.
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can): After being romanced and Compromised™ by a notorious rake, a deb is swiftly ushered into marriage with him (who probably agrees on threat of violence). He continues to rake, but she is convinced she can Fix Him. (She probably can't.)
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead? The reverse John Tucker Must Die/Mr. Malcolm's List, if you will. A man is enlisted to win the heart of a woman perceived as too proud and break it. She is: devastated. (He is a little bit, too.)
I Look in People's Windows: A ghost who died in the last 20 years or so continues to vaguely stalk the person they were in love with when they were alive. They think it makes them Tragic and Romantic. The person they're stalking... not so much.
The Prophecy: In divination class at Hogwarts, it was foretold that they would have seven heartbreaks and, since, have struggled to find somoene they can really connect with. It isn't fate, though—third years are notoriously lousy fortune-tellers. But they took it to heart, and have been self-sabotaging ever since.
Peter: Childhood loves, [he] said [he was] gonna grow up then [he was] gonna come find [her], and so she has waited for him since, now very much on the cusp of spinsterhood. Finally, he has come back! But he is already married...
