This isn’t my last post of 2024. But it is my last chance to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Here’s a story idea to feed your muse over the holidays. I hope you make happy memories with family and friends this season. See you in 2025!
Public opinion turns against a famous actress (or some other kind of female celebrity) through no fault of her own. She takes this change in fortune as her chance to retire from showbiz. Using her vast riches, she buys land out in the countryside and starts building a town (or some other kind of community). Bonus points if she invites poor people to come settle there.
How is this actress in over her head when it comes to municipal planning? What internal strife threatens to tear the town apart before it’s founded? How do the circumstances surrounding her retirement come back to haunt our celebrity protagonist?
