azato Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Re: Real world plot seed. The fires burning under Centralia could have a number of hooks - especially dealing with the demonic realm. Perhaps it attracts infernal creatures. Perhaps it was really caused by an infernal creature. This also gives some info if you wanted the same type of effect but somewhere else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania http://youtube.com/results?q=centralia&search_type= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azato Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Re: Real world plot seed. Forget the stupid "aliens'' thing, people without any features showing up in public might some spark for somebody. Also these people look an awful lot like The Question. Perhaps instead of being a lone agent, it is a society who seeks to remain to hide their identities. So . . . the plot point is people going crazy over poor amateur alien videos?

Cancer Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Re: Real world plot seed. An independent real-world plot seed (or, perhaps, complication feature) described in an NGD post here: shallow earthquake swarm not far from the Hanford Atomic Works. (You could have such a swarm anywhere that was convenient for your plot, though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
