TV Show Meme
Feb. 10th, 2010 11:25 pm1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them.
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios, and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal!
My prompt, from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]: "A quest story involving unlikely band groupies. Fantasy elements optional."
'Optional', hah. This is me we're talking about. ;-)
Type: HBO series.
Opening Theme: "Between", by Vienna Teng
Setting: Alternate universe where Euterpe, the Muse of music, is the central deity and Sirens exist. Most Sirens are worshiped as demigods in their territories, though some aren't as in control of the local politics as they think.
Outline: Euterpe's Mark, a small opal-like stone set into the skin of the upper arm, is what signifies a Siren. This Mark can appear at any time in a person's life, though eventually-- sometimes after fifty years, sometimes after five weeks-- they fall off, and powers fade. The Marks are kept as valued mementos by their previous owners, or sometimes put into museums. Legend has it that the Mosaic, a tablet blessed by Euterpe herself, will impart youth and a Siren's powers to its owner indefinitely once it's been completed with one hundred of these former Marks. When a Siren gets evidence that the legend is real, she sends several of her subjects out to gather the Marks for her.
Arc of Season 1: Some of the other territories aren't safe in the best of times. Add in the fact that their mission is to gather what many consider holy artifacts, and that makes it worse. But someone else also believes in the Mosaic, and instead of talking his or her way into taking discarded Marks, this gatherer just kills current Sirens to steal their gift. When the timing of the kill coincides a second time with their arrival in a new territory, the group realizes it's either someone following them-- or it is one of them.

Also, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] has created a community based around this meme, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], where you can post links to your own "show", fanmixes, short stories based on your idea, etc. and etc. Go join, we'll have fun (because I am sooooo going to flesh this out some more and do a book for it. After I, y'know, finish my eighty million other projects. . .)
