Re: Dares 2011!

Have a character planning for a zombie apocalypse.
BP: If the zombie apocalypse never happens.
DBP: If the plan turns out to be vital to something else.
TBP: If the zombie apocalypse happens after that.
QBP:..but not in the way the character anticipated.

Taking this.

Leaving:

-Have a character who insists on sprinkling French words into all of his/her sentences despite the fact that he/she has never taken French and uses all of those words incorrectly.

Have your characters use your outline (if you used one) as a to-do list.
BP: If they do it out of order.
DBP: If it includes "buy Cheerios and goat milk," or some equivalent.
TBP: If grocery-shopping is vital to the resolution of your conflict.



Think I will be stealing this one!

I'll take

My story has the monsters of human imagination coming to life based upon a spell cast by an Elven Mage. So over hearing a plot for a Zombie apocalypse, preparing for it and having another group of monsters attack instead would work perfectly.

Don't have one to leave right now but I usually think of something before Nano is over.

Wow, taking;

-DBP: If the plan turns out to be vital to something else.
TBP: If the zombie apocalypse happens after that.
QBP:..but not in the way the character anticipated.

as it could be extremely plot relevant.

I am so using:
Have your villain refuse to enter the scene until some properly dramatic entrance has been provided to him/her.
BP: If he/she storms in to complain.
DBP: If the MC agrees with him/her.
TBP: If the MC also demands a dramatic entrance.
QBP: If either of them has entrance music cued up.

This is combined with the Nyancat dare!

Ugh that is fantastic! I'm not sure I can use it but I love it...

Sooooo, taking this one. I typically can't take dares this late in the game as I am an obsesive about finishing my outline, but this is perfect for my villian, and my MC, and will fit in perfectly with a sence I already have!

Leaving:

Have a chracter who is always playing with a rubix cube.
BP: If the chracter is playing with it every time he is mentioned.
DBP: If the character is the MC.
TBP: If it is vital to the plot somehow.
QBP: If the character solves the cube at the end of the novel by taking it apart and putting it back together agian.

Have a psychiatrist who has a phobia of talking to strangers.
BP: If he became a psychiatrist trying to get over his fear.
DBP: If he throws a mug at one of his patients.
TBP: If he cures someone of their own phobia by throwing the mug at them.

Lovin' the Zombie one. Gotta take it!

... cheerios and goat milk is actually on my sister's shopping list.

I'll try to fit this in!

TBP:If it fits into the villains plan
