Fifty TF Story Starters

I always ask people if they have any requests to make for future stories that I would write. Many requests, however, are not very substantive. "Make up some story about a weretiger, I don't know what it's about." That kind of thing.
Well, for all the requests that have given me something to work with, I'm gonna return the favor with a bunch of story starters that TF writers may consider for their next big piece of writing. So, without further interruption, let's begin!

Note: These are basically my ideas, so any semblance to any storyline on the Internet found in these storylines is purely coincidental. Honest! Oh, and if you do use one of these for one of your stories, please email me so I can put a link to that story on this page.
