Plot ideas
-Somehow a Class of highschool, maybe college students is taken to an alternate reality, where they must play series of surival games with some supernatural elements, in order to return to their world.
-Games: Lie you Die, and your Truth is revealed with your last words. Decide to kill a group of classmates, or save a supply of food from being destoryed. Find the password on a chair in a room of chairs, before a song ends, etc.
-Characters: I need help on
-Setting: a version of their school where time doesnt move.
-Goal: Escape the school, and the games, within 3 days...

If you have any ideas.....please feel free to share.

Hi :)

Sounds like some really good ideas here - especially the different types of games! (not to be too sadistic on my part!! :) )

The first thing that springs to my mind is the setting - the alternate version of the school where time 'stands still' - and the different ideas and images you could play around with, for example (and perhaps most obvious) a clock on the wall, whose hands do not move, or - something which I personally will have a really good effect - maybe something like dust hanging in the air, or sunlight reflecting through glass/on a mirror, fixed permanently due to the circumstances?

As for the characters... I'm not too good with characters to be honest! I think a figure of strength may be needed, although it depends on the sort of piece you want to write, for example where a character rises up and returns victorious, or where someone in a much stronger position falls.

As for the Goal (and I am most certainly nit-picking at this point!!), if time stands still, how will the perspective of three days be shown/felt? As I said, I am most likely just nit-picking, and it is definitely not a draw-back!! :)

Hope this has been of some help! :)
Feel free to PM me too :)

I see no reason to celebrate the random timing of natural events by eating poison and singing.
