Ideas you want to see in...

In movies/tv/games/books.

What is a story you've always wanted there to be some media about. Because not all of us are creative (or rich) enough to make our own stuff.

Pulp adventure, with lesbians, that doesn't suck

I want a movie/book about a monster that turns out to be good. I want a kid to have an imaginary friend that starts out as a generic horror movie. Kid always talking and playing with some shadowy figure with no face (like heartless). The parents are all "Lol. That weird kid."

And then they see it. And they freak the fuck out because "OH NO! A DEMONNNNNN!!!" But it doesn't attack them. It just continues to play with their kid. Maybe starts coming to the dinner table to eat. Begins speaking English. Maybe changing its form to look more human.

Maybe demon hunters come to kill it and the family is all, "Fuck off this is our kid."

That would be cool in an animated form. Something like a French animated short.

Not a plot, but a set of characters. There's this book called The Captive Mind that's all about how the Soviets would roll into a region and completely annihilate local art and culture, replacing it with their own self-glorifying style. It's got profiles of four artists who all wound up writing Communist propaganda, and I think they'd make a great basis for a group of villainous henchmen. You've got Delta, a playful clown with a sinister side, who joined up out of greed and hedonism; Alpha, grandiose and self-important, who believes in the righteousness of the cause; Gamma, a selfish failure, who wants the power to control others, and Beta, a broken former idealist, who knows what they're doing is wrong but thinks it's the only way to prevent future atrocities. (Just please find some way to keep Beta alive--the real Beta killed himself at twenty-eight years old, and I want him to at least get a happy ending in fiction.)

That's... not really quite what The Captive Mind is about. I mean, yes, it is about the price of totalitarianism on artistic and intellectual freedom, but it's not really a problem of localism or art glorifying the Soviets; the problem is the intellectual rigidity and conformity the system demands. It's a much more internal thing.

I always say the wrong thing when I try to explain what something's about, and then someone else tells me I've got it totally wrong and it's actually about something else entirely, and half the time we're actually talking about the same thing and I just phrased it really badly. I mean, we're both talking about how the Soviet Union was practically the Borg, right?

Edit: Please, please, please tell me this isn't going in the direction of "lessons from The Captive Mind that can be applied to our own society." Not unless you're a refugee from North Korea or something.

No no no nothing like that. What I mean is more that you make it sound like it's basically a problem of culturally imperialism - mean old Soviets not letting people do their own cultural art - when, at least on my reading, it was something much more insidious and distinctive and internal - the effects of the overweening Soviet bureaucratic control but also of the totalizing Soviet ideology. The point of it was that it was something that got inside your head and your actions - and could have done just as easily for someone in Russia proper.

Just, more postapoc books with lady leads. Bonus if no romance or a lady romance.

And I'd like the postapoc to explore somewhere outside of America please. Major preference for my own country, but I think other countries would be equally cool. Be it Africa, Russia, Europe, China, Antarctica or whatever.

Wow, I am really having trouble with this one. I can find one out of two (e.g. Z for Zachariah), but the closest I can get to both is The Girl Who Started The War To End All Wars.

Two books that fit most of those features: "For Darkness Shows the Stars" and "Across a Star-Swept Sea" by Diana Peterfreund. The only thing that doesn't fit is that the lady leads of both have a romance with a dude, but it's not really the main plot of either book (and they have important, strong friendships with other female characters, too).
