I recently submitted a story that is somewhat inspired by Much Ado About Nothing. While i was constructing the story I was thinking of all the different scenarios where characters could play a trick on someone by letting them overhear that their sibling is attracted/ in love with them. If the sibling hearing it is shy or uncomfortable talking about incest then they won't directly mention it in conversation. We could see plots like:
Mean girls start a rumor about a girl they don't like.
A joke is played on a college freshman as part of hazing
workplace has a tradition of messing with the new guy
someone with no sibling of their own just really wants to see if they can make incest happen
The person doing the duping doesn't actually know that the two people are siblings
Stepmom says it about stepdaughter to her real father as a way to push her away but it backfires
But I also thought about these:
No duping happens. Sister starts the rumor about herself as a way to break the ice
daughters are referring to another man but father overhears and thinks they're talking about him
sister writes love letter/fb post/ text message to a guy with the same first name as her brother
I don't have the time to turn all of these into stories but I'd be interesting in reading what others here could do with these ideas.
