so which of these premises sounds best for a short story or a fiction podcast
the head of a space mission in the early 1960′s can see Rod Serling lurking in the corners, and has to do everything he can to avoid the space mission turning into a Twilight Zone episode (”No astronauts named Adam. If one of our men is half of an Adam and Eve pair, everyone on Earth will die to set it up!”)
something detailing or tangentially describing the professional / political rivalries between the world’s two types of superheroes: sparkly magical girl princesses and dark edgy 90′s antiheroes. (”Well, why can’t I put some pouches on this skirt? I don’t have anywhere to put my phone or keys!”)
an after-action report (maybe a board meeting of EvilCorp, maybe a post-war truth and reconciliation commission between Earth and the Alien Army) taking place in the world of an imaginary generic video game: the game just got beaten by a speedrun and the denizens of the world try to figure out what the fuck happened
androids are real, are self-aware, and don’t have equal rights. the things they actually want and need as far as rights and necessities have nothing to do with what humans would want in their situation (they don’t care about being “enslaved” but STOP MAKING US USE ALTERNATING CURRENT), and neither the pro- nor the anti- android rights factions of humans really pay attention to what they actually want in favor of acting out a drama that reinforces their own identity
These are all pretty good, actually.
