How about something pirate themed? Could be space pirates or nautical pirates. Throw in maybe some lycanthropy and and malfunctioning object for good measure. Could get very interesting.

How about a modern era person sucked into a portal back to medieval times. Possibilities include:
a scientist turns into a master alchemist a soldier becomes a warlord and ultimately a king (either good or evil) a doctor becomes a revered living god of healing a construction worker becomes a master engineer building a new wonder of the world etc. the options are almost limitless.

Interested. Would that be a Sliders type concept that people go to a parallel dimension

It could be, but it does not have to be limited to that.

Klar, while that might be an interesting story to read, it doesn't work very well for the competition because the theme needs to be general enough for people who want to write fantasy, historical fiction, science fiction, romance, or any genre or era they like. But thanks!

(Stealing from a movie here, just can't remember the name at the moment) How about a modern era person kidnapped and taken through portal to medieval times and finds themselves as the topic of a prophesy in a kingdom(s) at war and forced to participate somehow. The writers could then decide if their story is about their person fighting for good or evil, whether they become king/queen or whatever.
The whole flavor of the story can easily evolve in to any of the above mentioned categories based off of the nature of the person kidnapped and/or the nature of the kidnappers. Examples: John Doe gets kidnapped by merlin, he becomes King Arthur Jane Doe gets kidnapped by merlin, she becomes Joan of Arc John Doe gets kidnapped by Romans, he becomes the second coming of Alexander the Great or Ceasar or whatever. John Doe gets kidnapped by Amazons or any other barbarian style tribe, he becomes the next Ghengis Khan. ETC. ETC.

These are still far more specific than our usual themes. Your idea is requesting a specific story, which you'd do better either writing yourself or chatting up someone in the Coffee Shop and getting them to write it. The competition asks for any story that suits a very general theme (The Great Escape, Better to Ask Forgiveness than Permission, etc), often with widely varying results. We get better stories when our writers get inspired by some side tangent they can make than if we expect them to jump through hoop A, to track B, and then over hurdle C.

I believe the movie is Outlander.. I would be in favor of a X-men type scenario for my theme if I win. That can be discussed

You could put those types of stories into the theme "Time Travel" which could be used in just about every genre. Some others I can suggest: the wrong recipient, miscalculated, the wall, person's worth, the race, the only one in the world.
Interesting Elements: A corpse, politician (room for interpretation), a hole, squares, dance, dirty, bounce, pipe. |

I'd like to see a theme on "The Cure", include the following incorporated challenges: "disturbance", "volunteer", & "chasing or being chased"

I'll add those to my lists for themes and challenge elements. Of course, if you win last month's competition, you'll be allowed to select the following theme and challenge, but I can't use this for that, as others would have the head start, too.
