An Almost Anonymous Blog

Free Story Idea

I was searching through an older blog of mine for a specific blog post and found some posts I completely forgot about and thought I would re-share some of them in place of new content over the next few weeks. Here's a lightweight post from January 2017 that feels right for a Friday. Unfortunately, the links that were originally in this post are broken now, so I found some substitute links.


I got a story idea a few weeks ago, but I haven't really bothered to put pen to paper to develop it at all.  So it's now up for grabs!

An animated GIF of Snape shedding his memory in the form of a tear and telling Harry Potter to "take them".

I was listening to Almost Educational Episode 131 about time travel.  At some point while I was listening, the idea for a piece of flash fiction popped into my head.  Unfortunately, as is usually the case with my ideas, if I don't act on it fast, the motivation to do it fades pretty quickly.

The main premise is this: The phenomenon known as "frequency illusion" (also known as the "Baader-Meinhof phenomenon") is actually a ripple effect caused by some kind of change to the timeline in the past.

That's about as far as I got with the idea, so I'd love to see what someone can come up with here.  If it's already been done, point me in the right direction!
