I saw this on another website and I wondered how people here could manage.
The idea was that any story could be made to sound funy or ridiculous by laying down the bare facts. I wanna see how everyone's stories sound when presented with only the bare nessesities of the plot. So try it! Think about your story and lay it down in one or two sentences.
Examples: "Teenagers turn into animals to fight alien slugs." that would be Animorphs
"British orphan goes to school and saves the world with the power of love every year." That's Harry Potter.
"A farmboy with a laser sword, a princess, some criminals and robots defeat an evil empire a head honcho in the farm boy's father. Oh, and the Farmboy is psychic!" Do I really need to say what this one is?
And here's my contribution: A guy from the future gives fantasy beings WWI technology to fight facist-cyborgs while alien demons try to destroy both sides.
That's my story in a nutshell. So give us your shells and lets see how odd your story really is.
