Rules

  1. Submitting your rough draft synopses: If you're thinking of submitting a synopsis you want the community to critique, you'll want to follow our guidelines:

  • Be original. It might be nice to reference your peers every now and then, but try to avoid borrowing other synopsizer's jokes.
  • Have a decent number of slides. This number varies depending whether you're doing a movie or 40-minute TV show. More info on the wiki.
  • We value effort. Please try your hardest if you're going to submit. The same goes for users critiquing others synopses.
  • Contribute to the community. If you want to submit your own synopses, try to critique others first and help the community out. This isn't a requirement but we encourage it nonetheless.
  • No inappropriate, racist, or the like submissions or comments. Things such as these will be removed.
  • Feedback and criticism. When offering constructive criticism to a submitter, please be honest but not a jerk.

    • Keep strictly to the synopsis and do not make personal attacks against the submitter.
    • On the contrary, submitters: Please accept criticism and feedback with reason and don't overreact.

    These rules are subject to change if you, the community, wish it to be. Post in our Weekly Suggestions Thread what you think should be changed about /r/SynopsisLand. Your feedback is extremely important to us!

    Fantasy Book (Warning: Long)

    Kasi is an Outlander. That means she lives outside of any city, and her life is centered more around work than comfort. So when she's invited to a party, she is expectedly suspicious. But for her parents who were invited to a more important event, this is an opportunity they can not lose. With her twin brother Xhaazi stuck at home with an illness he refuses to acknowledge, Kasi knows she has to go without the support of the family she has relied on her entire life. When she arrives, she is relieved to find she is not entirely alone. Her best friend Chrin has also been invited to this strange party. But soon after the two begin to enjoy this event usually reserved for the higher class, a mysterious figure drops onto the scene. No one recognizes the man until he pulls out a weapon many recognize.

    By that point, only Kasi and Chrin are left in the dark until someone shouts the name they've only read about in the papers. A murderer. Adllsais. After that, chaos ensues in several other freak accidents involving all three outlanders which drives them far away from their home and eventually out into the wild world they've never had the chance to explore, exposing them to dangers they don't have the resources to defeat. So the three are grateful when they find a man who calls himself River who seems to be willing to help them. But things just seem to get worse as he abandons them on a beach with minimal supplies and a message warning them not to return home. So, with nowhere else to go, the three decide to try and find a city. But on their way, they run into two runaway creatures of a species which have adopted the name of Shades. The two Shades, Sokuna and her young Daughter Mouse, ask our three heroes if they would like to help them start a rebellion. Rather done with being pushed around and deciding to heed River's strange warning, they agree to help and make friends with the two shades, gaining protection while also digging themselves deeper into their own graves.

    But where there are friends, there are also enemies. Those enemies take the form of a strange army, which Sokuna and Mouse hate so much, and a cursed Assassin bound to the army by a promise. Desperate to be free of the curse that has tortured him for the past fifteen years, Marril ends up willing to do nearly everything to regain his freedom, which sets him on a path to kill an important Noblewoman. While on the other side of the villainous coin, we have three members of the army. The second in command Tias who is cruel and cold, Tias' short-time partner Kila who will work herself to death to prove a point, and Viasaki who is plagued by thousands of voices who urge him to surrender control of his mind to some mysterious entity.

    While the world crumbles around them, our beloved must learn to see the flaws in their shattered home. They will travel far from home and some will even forget what they came for. On their journey to find the truth every single one of them will fight not only to save themselves but also their broken world, and they will all discover threats brewing beneath the surface which hold secrets that could topple nations.

    WIP

    I'm working on a story about a villain, who's bent on ruling this world as his own, but of course as always theres heroes and heroine who not only stand in his way for world domination, but there being back up by world military! In order to obtain what he desired! Its cleared that he must destroyed those who oppose him in his great pursuits, before he could do anything against them he needs soldier, ships, vehicles, resources, equipment, and weapons to face them, but those alone won't do because he realize he needs invaluable information on his enemies like tactic, strategy, formation, ranks, and hero so he can exploit them to his advantage to ensure his victory against them, but he also need most of all are Generals and Captains to lead his forces, but it won't be easy trying to recruit them because they believe defeating hero is impossible for villains! Reason is that many powerful villains before him failed horribly in there pursuit as well, but hes not you're average Joe on the street, yet they realize he's different and quite unique to them which confuse them, but that alone won't be enough to convince them into joining him, so his only option is by defeating each one into joining him, he now realize talking to them through word won't work, so displaying his strength to them well convinced them into joining him, but they doubted his victory against the hero, because its IMPOSSIBLE to win against them because it became common knowledge. You and the people who read story about good always winning against evil, you see that everytime so it's obvious they'll lose, but will they?! Well HE be the first to do the impossible that none other can't do?! Or will he lose just like them. Please let me know, if this will be a good story to read! Opinion will be appreciate it as well.🙂

    Synopsis for How LJ and Rom Saved Heavy Metal

    After winning another race, LJ and Rom steal the team’s rally car to embrace the open road, pick up LJ’s girlfriend Vic and then head to Donna’s house for dinner where they learn, through mystical mediums that their friend Dom will die by the hand of a disgruntled fan if they don’t do something. Upon leaving Donna’s house the exhaust noise is too loud. They talk to their friend Marlon, which is hospitalized after a movie prop fell on him. Marlon gives them a location they can swap the muffler, which is Remmy Johnson’s chop shop. They swap the muffler and hear something on the radio about zombies. Back on the road, they spot a woman in distress. After helping, the woman gives them some weapons and electronic supplies.

    While crossing into North Carolina, some supernatural weather patters appear along with some disappearing runner zombies that are killed by the crew. LJ spots a different kind of zombie called a jhaman, named by Rom. LJ shoots the jhaman in the head, but an energy from above heals the jhaman. However, the crew learns that while the jhaman’s incapacitated the runner zombies lose control, that the jhaman has a glowing, crystal heart and the runner zombies are moving in a line running all the way from east to west. They phone Marlon again which leads them to Tia’s house, to strategize.

    Surrounding Dom’s birthday party, his pet monkey Deevin has some chemical burns. Then, the hackers are revealed to be a man and woman, targeting Dom and they inject a charged, malicious payload into Dom’s phone. After arriving at Tia’s house, LJ blacks out and has a vision where a child attacks. LJ awakens. They are introduced to Tia’s family members, a mystical child named Vincent, and a faery with boots, named Dashra. They travel back in time, to a previous Earth to learn how to defeat the jhaman with magic. The jhaman has metal weapons it can extend from it’s arms.

    Dom is now grieving the loss of the band, and notices that he has not had any dreams as of late and he is in denial about the dreams being a method of guitar riff composure. A previous success, but now a denial for him. While him and Deevin are sitting on the porch, a protesting truck arrives chanting “GET BACK WITH THE BAND” and sprays rocks on Dom’s property. Dom realizes the universe is against him.

    The hackers then complete their first dark web job, by uploading the contents of Dom’s phone as requested. They receive their next job, which is to assassinate Dom. After gearing, up the crew leave Tia’s house with Dashra on the jhaman hunt. They fight and kill the jhaman with Dashra’s magic and learn that the jhaman is raising his minions from the dead with his electrifying arm rods. Rom takes the jhaman heart. LJ sees a man-in-black that tells him to move forward and not worry with killing any more jhamans.

    The crew lands at a camping spot where LJ has a dream about a playing card, the eight of diamonds, which materializes itself next to the campfire and LJ keeps the card after he awakens. Dasrha leaves for home. They meet Kate, the race crew leader. She wages a bet on a head-to-head race. The wager is that if they lose, Rom has to go with Kate. LJ’s reckless driving causes them to win the race.

    They pick Marlon up from a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and make there way to save Dom. Marlon tells LJ that his eight of diamonds card is like an eight of pentacles tarot card.

    Kirt places Val’s position between a rock in a hard place, telling her she must wear a fat-man costume while she kills Dom at the concert. Now, choppy officer workers in Washington D.C. give new orders to Kirt to kidnap Dom and deliver him to House #29.

    Just as the crew is meeting Dom, he is kidnapped by Kirt and Val, in her fat-man costume. Dom wakes up in a room that resembles a jail cell, realizes he had a dream while unconscious, then is kidnapped again by an unseen force.

    Marlon helps the crew locate Dom’s last known coordinates, which is House #29. They arrive at the house, gain entry and LJ haphazardly discovers a tunnel beneath the floor. They climb down with immense pressure and shaking, which prompts LJ and Vic to climb back up to investigate. They are locked inside the house.

    LJ and Vic cannot find Rom and Marlon, but climb to the bottom of the laddered tunnel into a octagon-shaped room with privacy glass. A voice comes from behind, offering for LJ to be apart of the dream recorder that Dom is hooked to. LJ denies the offer by casting his first magic spell, and in turn wakes Dom up gracefully, under the plastic dome.

    The Bros. Keeper

    George Keeper, a mute hitman, has been missing for two months and his only brother Bobby Keeper, a CIA operative has been searching for him all over London. Bobby was always aware of his brother's dealings with a dangerous group known as "The Labyrinth", and believes they are the ones behind George's disappearance. Shooting his way through sketchy locations and pitch-black hideouts all armed with guards, Bobby draws closer to his brother who's a silent thus lethal killer that can handle himself against any threat. Meanwhile, The Labyrinth are on the verge of obtaining the ultimate super weapon that could potentially end all civilization in the UK; even in the U.S. making them the new world order. They only require a serial combination code in order to possess this weapon. The one person left in the world, who knows the code is George and not only can he physically not tell them... but he won't. This results in inhumane torture methods, endless interrogation and even murdering his only friend in front of him. All hell breaks loose as Bobby finally makes it to their headquarters where George is kept hostage. He refuses to give up that much power to the secret organization that gave him the name, Muzzle.

    IdealFutureStory

    My story is a heroic saga in which the world is being controlled by villains. They have already killed off other heroes during the wars between good and evil that lead the heroes to their end, until one day the number one powerful villain grows bored with his life because there's no one that can match his powers anymore. He creates a hero himself. She’s been drawn into a game of satisfaction and fulfillment of desire which the leader of all villains wants her to be in so she can get stronger and more powerful. He does this so that not only he has to fight her, but he wants her to draw out more heroes that are hiding and ones that never intended to be heroes. Due to the world being horrified by them for being different, he wants to use this situation and wants to capitalize on the strife. His goal is of a satisfying battle against the heroes in hopes they'll provide a challenge that he so much desires and lingers for because he knows these desires could lead him to his downfall and jeopardize his plans for his master’s release from hell. Because no matter what, he has no worries because both sides end up destroying one another. He has seen the countless deaths and he has seen the world covered in different ways of despair, but he didn't keep count of how many times it happened. He did so because he still has good left in him even though he is mostly still controlled by his weakness for darkness. However, he's forced to release Lucifer, his dark master, because he has no interest enslaving the earth and the galaxy as his kingdom. So, he must play as his master’s little puppet because his master Lucifer encoded himself inside him forcing him to his will with one flick of a finger. Meanwhile, the heroine whom he drew out is now coming for him and he's waiting for her at the end of all battles. The heroes have to work together to face him as he has become more powerful than ever. They must stop him in order to restore peace and order to the Earth and to rid humans of pain and suffering.

    Let me know, if this is a good story to work on?! 😅😅

    Would a Legend of Korra synopsis interest anybody?

    Been thinking about trying my hand at doing a synopsis, but couldn't think of a show to start with. Then I thought the Legend of Korra could be fun. But before I waste my time making it, I was wondering if it would even appeal to anyone. Thoughts?
