My Topic Brainstorms

Dante's Inferno:
The concept of this story will be that the inferno isn't somewhere where you go, but rather a place that an individual creates themselves.  It would be silly to think that consciousness would continue along with memories and personality outside of the body, but while inside, there is certainly a distinction of who is happy and who is suffering.  This story will outline the four layers of hell that a person can bring upon themselves.  It will be told in a fashion of someone such as an angel of god itself presenting 4 different specimens of humans in the different stages of hell.

The Devil:
The Devil introduces his various cunning techniques on how to trick people into doing what he wants.  I have always been interested in the devil and his devious ways.  His stories of coercion are fascinating to me.  He is the ultimate trickster, and I want to research the various and most useful techniques he does to get what he wants.  The story might also be told from various people who were coerced by the devil, explaining their tragic incident.

The Bachelorette: Drama on Mount Olympus
I want to do a "The Bachelorette" style story based off Greek God and Goddess relationships.  I want to research all the affairs and qualities of many Greek gods and goddesses, choose one goddess to be the bachelorette and she has to go through and through a few rounds of dates/activities that are also related to the Greek mythological world and decide who is the right one for her.  Much drama will ensue between the Greek gods as they compete for the goddess.

Magic Mushrooms: The Real Forbidden Fruit
I have always loved creation stories, and would like to elaborate on a combination between the forbidden fruit myths and the "Stoned Ape Theory".  This isn't exactly a completely new idea, but I have never seen any sort of creation-type stories written about it.  I will research various stories that include a forbidden fruit, choose my favorite and spice it up quite a bit by making the forbidden fruit psychedelic mushrooms which act as the mechanism that drives humanity toward a more intelligent society.
