Title: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Bunny on 11:23pm Tue, Aug 25, 2009
How this helps: Putting yourself in hypothetical situations and considering what if questions can help open your mind and create new ideas for your writing. This can get your creativity flowing and your inspiration knocking ;D.

Each person answers the previous hypothetical question, and asks their own at the end of their post.


What would you do if a clown knocked on your door?

I would open the door and say "AH! What is wrong with you?! It's twenty to ten and there is a clown at my door!" At which point I would imagine he would stab me, because why else would he be there? ^o)

What would you do if someone exploded right infront of you?

I'm pretty sure I would pass out, and wake confused and traumatised, probably pass out again at the carnage..

What would you do if you were given the opportunity to do a porn scene for $250,000?

I'd do it, not for the money (I have enough) but the experience. Assuming they weren't sick or anything.


What would you do if you found an alligator in your front yard one morning?

I would see how close I could get without it moving (possibly armed with some kind of blunt object to keep it a little distance away should it move) then take pictures for facebook or this site haha

What would you do if someone told you that you could be given wings (or some other way of flying) in exchange for all your wordly possessions?

Haha awesome XD
I would ask them if they wanted me to pay them for the work, and if not I would totally leave them to it because it saves me a job haha
Were would you go if someone came along with a time machine only gave you the chance to travel to one place and back again?

How would you react if you caught a glimpse of your future and saw your death (and you were murdered by your lover)?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Kimberley on 08:22am Tue, Jan 1, 2013
I would try to figure out why, and then get the hell out of there! Hopefully the running isn't what does it!


What would you do if you accidentally sent a dirty picture of yourself to your family instead of your boyfriend?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations

I'd send a message saying my phone had been accidentally infected by the new Phone Pornstar Virus that takes your innocent pictures, turns them into pornographic images and mails them to all your contacts. Then I'd say that unless they deleted the picture within an hour of receiving it, all their contacts would receive pornographic photos of them. Hopefully that would do it.

What would you do if your husband/boyfriend turned into the Christmas Fairy, wouldn't get down from the top of the tree, and then tried to pack himself away with the rest of the decorations on January 6?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Kimberley on 11:17pm Tue, Jan 15, 2013
I think I would probably put him in a bird cage until he agreed to turn back!


What would you do if you received a letter in the mail telling you that you'd been invited to a royal wedding?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Bunny on 05:41am Sat, Apr 13, 2013
I'd be confused and probably not go cause I'm too self conscious and have no money to buy decent dress attire ha ha.

What would you do if you were offered the choice between Death and Ru-Ru?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Bunny on 08:51pm Sat, Apr 27, 2013
I don't know what Ru Ru is but I choose it! XD


What if the grim reaper proposed to you?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Djeinus on 09:55pm Sun, Apr 28, 2013
I'd take him on the offer. The only problem would be the "till death do us part" thing.

What would you do if you discovered you could turn off gravity at will?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Bunny on 08:18pm Fri, May 3, 2013

Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Bunny on 04:22pm Thu, May 9, 2013
That would spin me out a bit lol. I don't know how I would ever process that information XD.

What would you do if you walked into your apartment and your bathtub was full of set lime jelly?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: fibromama on 03:37pm Fri, Aug 16, 2013

Demand money ha ha.


How would you react if someone gave you a magic wand that could cure all your pains OR could kill the pains of 3 people not including you.
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: QuirkyJessi on 01:54pm Wed, Sep 24, 2014
I would use it on other people. I have pains to be cured, but I think I would feel better overall if I were able to help 3 other people who were worse off than I am.

What would you do if you started reading a book and realized that it's the book of your life? Once you made it to the page that is your current day, would you turn the page to see what happens next?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Bunny on 11:58pm Wed, Sep 24, 2014
Hell yes. And then I would feel guilty. Wow that's an awesome concept!

Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: EllyMarks on 08:57am Thu, Sep 25, 2014
I'd tell it to shut up because only I should be allowed to tell my story.

What would you do if you survived the end of the world but found out that the only other survivors were annoying and rude people? Would you suck it up and stick with them because rebuilding civilization is a common goal, or would you strike out on your own?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Djeinus on 06:50pm Wed, Jan 14, 2015
I would probably suck it up, I guess. But I'd like to think I would watch them from afar and see if they'd try to gang up on each other.

What would you do if you found out you were the only human being that was actually real?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: hoodoowytch on 12:34pm Sun, Mar 22, 2015
I think if I found out I was the only real human being on the planet I would go mad...and be the loneliest creature alive.

What would you do if suddenly found yourself back in the 1600's and condemned to burn for witchcraft?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Bunny on 10:15pm Mon, May 4, 2015
I would run for my life. Or I'd start some crap ha ha. Do I have witchcraft abilities? If so I'd just use my magic to escape and wreak havoc ha ha. The world would never be the same, so this is probably a really bad idea.

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow minus a leg, and discovered you'd been asleep for so long your pet had eaten your foot clear off your body and gone half way up your calf? You're alive but bloody haha.
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: oraclemay on 01:58am Tue, May 19, 2015
This is awful, but after getting over the shock and horror I would bandage my wound and kill the pet! I would then have to get a new leg and go for rehabilitation etc. I would not have another pet.


What would you do if you were waiting for a bus and spaceship filled with passengers stopped and offered you a lift?

Take it. Probably going to a more interesting place than I was.

What would you do if you realized you didn't need to sleep to live?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: msdanicamae on 12:00pm Tue, Jan 12, 2016
That would be fantastic! I can finally fit all the things I want to do in my schedule and not worrying if I have enough sleep.

What would you do if you get an invitation to join an adventure in North Pole?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: Djeinus on 08:54pm Sun, Feb 7, 2016
Probably say yes and then get cold feet.

What would you do if you controlled a vast robot army?
Title: Re: Hypothetical Situations
Post by: elbitjusticiero on 05:18pm Fri, Feb 19, 2016
I would block every military base in the world and try to force world leaders to negotiate peace in peaceful terms. Probably with disastrous results.

What would you do if you could read one person's mind at your choosing, but you had no special powers beside that?
