Humor, Satire & Parody Dares http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/satire-humor-parody/threads/5324 musthavebeenmykarma I came here looking for some dares and couldn't find a one! This forum is looking a little lonely without a good dares thread. I always turn to them when I'm out of ideas or need some quick inspiration. The rules are simple. If you come up with something so ridiculous that you think no one could possibly ever fit it into a rational plot, or maybe something so mad-hatter silly that you wish you could use it but can't, or you come up with a scene involving ninjas, dinosaurs, rocket propelled grenade launchers, [i]and[/i] time travelling super-babies, then post them here with corresponding bonus points for difficulty. I'll kick it off. Have a character who has a name with a silent letter in it, like "Jo[i]h[/i]nathan," and have him get really offended when people call him "Jonathan." Bonus points if he or she also corrects punctuation. Bonus points and cake if he or she never explains themselves, just repeats back what they said with grammar/letters fixed. A: "Hey Jonathan." B: "Excuse me?" A: "What?" B: "It's 'Hey, Johnathan.'" A: "That's what I said!" That's all I got for now! Can't wait to see some more ideas.

Like a high speed chase interrupted by a traffic jam, or a police car pulling them over. Or someone's quest stopped by a charity volunteer in the street 'Can I have a moment of your time to talk about ----". Bonus points if most of the characters go along with this without worrying too much. Double bonus points for having one character who is annoyed and gets progressively moreso until they burst out with a summary of what they were doing and why it's important and could they please get back to SAVING THE WORLD (or whatever).

Quadruple bonus points if the villain, object the characters are looking for is actually in the room, but your characters don't notice. Cookies if all the above are true, but in the meantime amazing things are going on all around your characters, but your characters are so involved in the game they don't notice.

Have a character with an obsession with rubber ducks. BP If this obsession gets in the way of important scenes, when he sees a rubber duck he just HAS to have and gets a little side tracked. DBP If someone uses his obsession against him, i.e. kidnapping his rubber ducks and holding them for ransom. TBP if the character with the obsession is otherwise evil and heartless.

Thanks! Leaving: You have a character that walks around with a wrapped gift for most of the novel. BP if the wrapping is ridiculously bright and gaudy. TBP if the package is somewhat unwieldy and gets in the way at times. QBP if all the other characters are obsessed with knowing what is inside the package or who it's for, but no one asks. Cookies if, when the package is finally opened, it is a huge disappointment. (for example, the receiver already has one) Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:36:54 +0200 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/satire-humor-parody/threads/5324?page=1#forum_thread_comment_635361 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/satire-humor-parody/threads/5324?page=1#forum_thread_comment_635361 Skippy_Dave Very interesting dares and several may be added or at least modified. For that, I feel I should add something to this wonderful collection. Dare: You, the writer comes and interrupts the story with an important announcement. BP: The important announcement is that you are going to start the next chapter. DBP: As you write the next chapter during the announcement, you keep changing the opening sentence for the next chapter. TBP: The characters in the story come to stop the announcement. QBP: As they come to stop the announcement, they actually start to encourage you to continue it. With a Cookie: Your doing the announcement against your will, includes being cuffed and pushed to a writing desk, tazered to write, etc. Sat, 12 Nov 2011 02:39:47 +0200 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/satire-humor-parody/threads/5324?page=1#forum_thread_comment_648122 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/satire-humor-parody/threads/5324?page=1#forum_thread_comment_648122 Speckle Have a Character Say "Why YOU-" * If the character is overweight and male (or male-ish) ** The character reaches out to strangle the person *** The character accidentally kills the person. **** The character is supposed to be really good or graceful. ***** The person killed was supposed to be the hero of everyone.

Not sure if I will go with that, but the scene ended with a couple of the characters setting up an atomic torpedo to track down the source of the signal and destroy an asteroid call-centre.
