Okay, I've finally started writing the novel that I did some stream of consciousness posts about ( "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 1" , "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 2" , and "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 3" ). Now, I want to keep it unpublished, but I also want credit for working on it (lol). So, with that in mind, I'll do a post like this when I've worked on it for a bit, and you can shoot me a message if you'd like access to the Google doc. NB: While there will be multiple posts in this vein, I will not link them to each other because the text will remain the same, so linking to part 1 from part 2 (etc.) won't yield any new information.

For those unfamiliar with Dropout TV , it's a comedy subscription streaming service run by the production company that was formerly CollegeHumor. One of their series is Make Some Noise (a spinoff of Game Changer ). Most episodes of Make Some Noise has three comedian players, improvising scenes based on prompts from the host, Sam Reich, that often feature impressions, noise-making abilities, lore building, and teamwork. The show has three rounds, plus a minigame before each round. One of those mingames is "Alternate Universe" where players are given a category, then each is given an "alternate universe" version of that prompt (e.g. "Spider-Man" is the category) and then, after each player completes the prompt they can buzz in and pitch their own alternate versions with an impression (e.g. a player could say "Afraid of Spiders Spider-Man" and then act out what that would look like). Anyways, here are 15 ideas for the Make Some Noise minigame...
