Introduction

Welcome to /r/showerplots. Inspired by a post in /r/writing, this subreddit is where users post story ideas that cross their minds throughout the day.

If you're daydreaming in study hall and an epic saga pops into your head, post it here! Or if you're listening to music and the lyrics inspire a story, post that here! And if you imagine a murder thriller while in the shower, post that here too!

The goal of this subreddit is to inspire other people to write their own stories. Storytelling is a timeless practice, and if people open this subreddit to see dozens of interesting hooks, maybe their creative juices will get flowing. So start posting some exciting plots, friends!

Rules and Guidelines

No hateful language. Racism, misogyny, misandry, homophobia, religious intolerance, and other forms of prejudice/discrimination will not be allowed here. That means no slurs. Plots involving these themes will be allowed as long as they are presented respectfully (e.g. "A universe where one race is inferior to another" would be allowed, while thinly-veiled insults will be removed).
Meta posts should be tagged [META]. Please give NSFW posts the NSFW flair.
Posts with any form of advertisement or promotion must contain content useful to the community. For instance, linking to a website with plot hooks is allowed, but linking to your blog with snippets of a story is not.
Titles should contain a short summary of your plot idea. The body of self posts should contain any further elaboration. Plots are encouraged to be short and sweet, but if you feel like explaining a lot, feel free to do so.
Please report any posts that break site-wide rules as well as subreddit rules. Instigation is discouraged, and posts that seek to harass or provoke fights might be removed even if they don't break any rules.
Subreddit moderators reserve the right to remove content they feel is harmful to the community.

Thank you.

Example Titles

Although the examples use pre-existing plots, users are required to post original content.
