Can I post ideas here

Currently I'm scripting ACE, but here are all my ideas for screenplays so far. Any feedback is welcome (I.e has this been done before or am i cliché?)
ACE: A musical about Asexuality. It's a coming of age story, with like indie music and stuff. I'm writing the songs too. It's about a girl named Agnes who decides to start bringing her friends together and by doing so she neglects herself and "forgets" to fall in love.
Glass of the Microscope: somewhat inspired by the song of the same name by Yeasayer. Basically the film is about guests at a fancy dinner party, and the world ending around them without their noticing. All this crazy surreal stuff happens as the earth disintegrates and nobody knows what's going on. And at the end they "tilt their head back from the glass of the microscope," that is, they see the bigger picture of what's left of their world. And then they die.
Vagabond: is basically like an idea for a satirical show (probably just on the internet, not for TV) about hipsters and Austin culture. In case you didn't know Austin Texas is the live music capital of the world so its therefore full of hipsters. I have a cast of like 10 characters developed and I'm coming up with possible stories. The one I have right now is: someone hears this awful awful music in a café and things it's cool and "underground" so some people end up going to this concert and turns out the concert was a ruse and it's actually a meetup for a freaky cult thing and they used the concert as a cover up because they thought nobody in their right mind would like music that horrible. so yeah, it's a comedy series. like Portlandia with more continuity.

I'm copying these descriptions from another place where I wrote them down so here are two more
If you have ever been to thrift stores like Goodwill you know they always have old paintings for sale and most of them are landscapes. Well it makes me really sad that nobody wants them so ideally what I would do is try to go and buy every single one of them and then track down the location which it represents and go there and leave the painting. Now obviously this would be very hard to do in real life, so I think I'll write a screenplay about it.

My other screenplay idea is like you know that Food Network show "Chopped?" Well I am going to make one called "Sliced," where, if you lose the challenge, you get literally sliced. Sliced into "mystery meat", which the participants l8er have to cook with as the secret ingredient. I made another cooking show parody called Idiot Eats with Carl and Zobert, and it was pretty awful, I only uploaded the first episode which I think is still on my channel (we never finished the second lolol) but I really enjoyed filming food and food preparation an I feel like Sliced could be much better if I did it right. I also like making fun of cheesy over the top reality TV, and this would be a great oppurtunity to use some really crappy royalty free music (ironically, of course!)
 
I like the "Sliced" idea also, but you have to offer the contestants a good amount of money for their troubles. Here's what I would do, you can use any of these ideas if you want, just credit me somehow :)

Sliced -- The Reality Cooking Show That's A Cut Above.
Four contestants battle for a chance to win enormous amounts of cash by utilizing their cooking skills, courage and bidding skills.

Each contestant is awarded twenty five thousand dollars the moment they sign up for the filming. Why? Because the smallest piece of flesh they will lose is a finger. This means that on the first round the first loser will have a finger sliced off their writing hand, and he/she will walk out with the twenty five thousand.

The other three contestants will then be awarded an additional 25k, so in total, they now have 50k. This money is then used tp bid on a piece of flesh they are willing to have Slice off them, with the "Kitchen Manager"(kinda like the "Banker" on Deal or no Deal) offering a sum of money if they win the round.

Now the Kitchen Manager has a minimum price for every piece on the body. So a finger is worth 20k, a whole hand is worth 125k, a toe is worth 10k, a whole foot is worth 100k and so on and on.

So let's say that I'm a contestant and I have made it to the second round. I now have 50k
to bid on a piece of my body and get the Kitchen Manager to counteract with me. So let's push the envelope and say I bid 35k that I will make it into the next round, and I'm offering three fingers from my non-writing hand for it. So that's a 35k bid plus 60k for a total of 95k. If I win, I get the 95k. But the manager then throws me an offer, 175k for the whole writing hand. So you see how it can easily escalate into something bigger. Each contestant has a separate bidding/auction war going on with the manager and the audience gets to enjoy people's greed.

You can also use a closed family member or friend of each contestant as the food critiques/judges. Of course you would need to have them unaware of whose plate they are tasting but that's the easy part. This will make it even better lol.

This was just the first thing that popped into my head after reading your info. I didn't really put that much time into it, so if you kinda like it and want more info, hit me up!
 
Ew you have some mental issues :P
I like the idea a lot, but I probably won't use it because I don't want the contestants to know what's being done until the very end. Your plot could have a lot more dramatic devices attached to it though, like people going on the show to get money for their family or something. Actually it'd work without being a cooking show at all, just a game show on its own!
YouTube.com/topitmunkeydog is my channel, but a word of warning: I haven't posted anything good on that yet. Most of it is just derpin around with lego bricks :D
