15 interactive fiction ideas

Hey all, still a bit low energy, but ever since we had Brenda Romero come talk to us, I've been wanting to do interactive fiction. So here is some brainstorming.

  1. Anxious oracle. I've started this as a traditional fiction piece, but I think it could be a cool game to actually be the anxious oracle.
  2. Get promoted. You start as a lowly office worker, but as you get promoted up the chain you realize you're working for a supervillain corporation.
  3. See if you can survive Dracula. This would be putting yourself in the situation of Johnathan Harker and see if you can manage to make it out better.
  4. Grocery shopping. Can you get everything you need and everything you want at the grocery store within the time you have. You may have to dodge your neighbor that you don't want to talk to, someone who wants to talk to you about the environment, and bad free samples.
  5. Camel Corpse. You are a soldier in the 1850s Southwest US and have been handed a creature you've never seen before to tame. Can you do it or will you bail out and sell your camel to the circus?
  6. Presidential Fantasy Dream Team. This is just stealing an idea from a great book, but you must assemble a team of 5 presidents to take on the apocalypse. Can you save the world?
  7. Script saver. You'll be given real scripts for terrible movies and asked for ways to improve. Can you take these flops to the top?
  8. Do I Need to Go to the Doctor? A game for the modern young person. You are grown and out of the house and now have to make your own doctor's appointments. So how do you know if you need one?
  9. Job Hunt. Traipse around the city trying to find help wanted signs and then adjusting your resume, cover letter, and interview style to fit the market. Will you get employed?
  10. Zombies FTW. You are a zombie, can you manage to convert the world to your undead ways?
  11. Haunted Inheritance. Can you survive a night in your great aunt's mansion so that you can win it?
  12. Immigration. Design a character and then go through the US immigration process (the aim of this one is to be educational as to the immense difficulty). Can you make it?
  13. Explore the Mariana Trench. What really is down there? Mermaids? Megalodons? Illegal weapons? Just trash? Find out.
  14. New Self-Help Craze. Can you design a new self-help craze that actually helps or, at least, makes money?
  15. Unsolved. Can you solve some of the most famous unsolved mysteries?
Do you like any of them? Let me know!

(Prompt by me)

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
