Some plot ideas to avoid

Here are a few plot ideas that won't get used for NaNoWriMo, at least not by YT.

Everything's a romance novel these days. The latest twist: time travel romances! These plots came to mind.

• A man can travel through time, but only if he is naked. When he arrives at a new when and where, he must find his pack full of supplies that travels separately.
• A man meets a woman who he makes happy. He finds out her mother was made miserable by a mysterious stranger. He travels back in time and finds the story repeats itself earlier and earlier in time. Finally he gives a miserable woman lasting happiness, but realizes he is the one who made all the other women, her descendants, miserable. He must decide whether to erase the misery of later generations, but at the cost of the one woman's happiness.
• Seven of Nine (of Star Trek) returns to the early 21st century to bond with Martha Stewart.

Okay. Not cheesy enough for you? Let's sink lower into the depths of utter... uh, creativity.

• A woman thinks that by emulating Seven of Nine's rigid personality, she can become friends with Martha Stewart.
• A fan fiction writer gets hired to work on the television show he idolizes.
• A man wakes up one day to discover and old flame has moved in next door. She insists on being part of his life, but he is never sure about which part.
