Even if you don't see your idea listed, I wanted to let you know that there's still a good chance it could be part of the project in some form. Some of the ideas - such as a transformation themed restaurant, or movie theater, might wind up as sub-plots inside the project, while others (a transformation-themed witness project program) might be used for individual characters, rather than a theme for the whole project. Transformations of all types will feature in both projects, so you can vote solely on which setting you find more appealing.
With that in mind, here are my two new ideas:
Transformation Park:
Transformation Park: the most magical place on earth. It's amusement park where rides and concessions cause all manner of transformations. Like many popular parks, Transformation Park will have many different areas, showcasing different kinds of rides, concession stands for food, exhibits, fortune telling, people dressing in costume, and more. Transformation Park will be similar in style and tone to The Transformation Mall and Transformation TV, because it will allow the park's guests to enter individual zones of the park and enjoy their own, largely independent story lines. Because of the park setting, it will also feature an upbeat, lighthearted tone, like in Mall and TV.
Strengths: The different sections of the park will allow a lot of fun and variety. Certain ideas from earlier voting series, such as those involving super hero characters or fairy tales, could get second chances as sub-sections of the park.
Transformation Island:
You don't go to Transformation Island - Transformation Island finds you. Many of those supposedly lost on sunk ships and crashed planes mysteriously wind up here, a remote jungle island from where there is no apparent escape and no way to contact the outside world. Everything about the island - vegetation, waterfalls, mysterious caves, underwater grottoes - causes some kind of transformation. Transformation Island is a significant departure from Transformation TV and Mall because it will be more serious and have a distinctly darker tone. While the story lines for characters and sub-sections of the island will be separate, the larger mystery of discovering the truth about the island will connect all the stories.
Strengths: Transformation Island will be a fresh an innovative take on the genre, unlike anything I've written to date. Being trapped on the island creates new opportunities for conflict and new ways to explore the consequences of transforming.
Cast your vote now! I'll leave the voting up for one week. Along the way, I'll describe the new ideas I have for the stretch goals. If you can, please leave a comment letting me know which idea earned your vote and why. Thanks again as always for your support!
