I currently have three ideas I'm kicking around, none of which have any real plot detail worked out, as well as a Halloween story I'd like to do if I can pull off horror. I've given all my ideas 'working titles' so I can keep them straight.
Blind Justice This one, I'm iffy about. I know Sam has done the blind thing before, but this one's different. He leaps into a bomb squad member who's diffusing a bomb, only to have it blow up in his face and blind him. Not only does Sam have to learn to live with his handicap for this entire leap, he has to find a way to stop another bomb from going off and killing a lot of innocent people. I had toyed with the idea that he carries the blindness on through to his next leap, but I'm still not certain.
------------------------------
This one sounds very intriguing. As for carrying the blindness over into another leap, to my thinking, if
you wanted to resolve Sam's blindness, you would need to write a companion story for "Blind Justice".
===================================================
Bingo, Bango, Bongo I haven't seen this done anywhere before, but someone probably has. Sam finds himself as one of Al's women, and he has to fend off the advances of his persistent best friend without giving in to his urges to hurt him. Worse, Sam is a model, and has to put up with everything a model does, such as, oh,
waxing. I have no clue what he's there for, or when, exactly, the leap takes place. I just thought the whole concept would be funny.
-----------------
I'm already :roflmao: about this one. It would be priceless! I can just picture him fighting off Al's gleaming-eyed advances. As for why Sam is there, maybe he's there to prevent a fellow model from committing suicide when...oh...say... the designer whose collection is being shown, cuts her from the show because of....whatever reason. I would REALLY love to see this one written! *G*
======================================================
Deadline Sam and Al believe that Sam's task is to prevent the person he leaped into from being poisoned and dying. Unfortunately, they discover too late that the poison is in Sam's system, and now the only thing left for him to do is to bring his poisoner to justice and leap out before he dies. All the while, Sam's agonizing over the fact that, as soon as he leaps out, his host will return and be the one to die from the poison. Here's where I really need help: I need to find a poison that's fatal, has no antidote, and takes about a week to kill, though it has debilitating effects on the body beforehand.
-------------------------------------------------------------
As much as I like your other two story ideas, "Deadline" has absolutely got me fascinated! Sam working against the clock to accomplish his mission, in increasing agony from the poison as well as knowing that his host will die as soon as he leaps out.... drama, angst, soul-searching....this would make a great story!
===================================================
My Halloween idea is still only in its fledgling stages; it takes elements from The B**giem*n and Shock Theater and almost drives Sam over the edge.
---------------------
Another intriguing story nugget! I love a good edge of the seat, nail-biting, messing with Sam's mind (to say nothing of the reader's!) mind. I'll be interested in seeing how you grow this nugget into a story.
And, I should warn you, I'm not exactly a nice person when it comes to characters I like.
*G* There's a goodly number of writers here (raises hand) who like being "not nice" to our favorite time-traveling quantum physicist, so you're in good company!
