Open Playground: "Schrodinger's Heroes"

[ysabetwordsmith]

Everyone is welcome to play with Schrodinger's Heroes. This is an imaginary fandom for an apocryphal television show. A team of heroes practice quantum physics and other hijinks to protect Earth against invaders from other dimensions. The team is racially, sexually, and culturally diverse. Because the subject naturally deals with alternate realities, it lends itself well to crossovers and alternate-universe interpretations; you can use my version or make up your own.

The background material and some sample stories, poems, and scripts are linked from the menu post. If you do play with this, I'd love to know; I'll link to other people's contributions if I know where they are.

I have written a story based on your title prompt 'Without Connection' here: http://kajones-writing.livejournal.com/33162.html.

A door that's always ajar.

Dada and the surrealist victory over an absurd world

Why are anime heroes so often misfits or social outcasts?

The "handedness" of smileys in various cultures (:

"English" measurements in an increasingly metric world

Quote prompt: "Subcultures rarely fall on their own."

Humor, enlightenment, shock, and surprise: the common element is the one that doesn't fit expectations. Are there other experiences which require a misfit?

I put together one prompt from everyone who has posted so far to create the free-verse poem "Door Ajar." It explores the challenges of opening a portal between dimensions, and not being able to close it again. Read the whole poem here:
