Episode Summary
In this episode of The Margin Scrawls, Samantha and Krystal use the SCAMPER technique step-by-step in real time to transform Alice in Wonderland into a completely different story concept. What starts as a classic children’s fantasy quickly mutates into a cybernetic dystopian horror idea — the kind of creative rabbit hole that may actually become a story of its own.
This episode is part writing exercise, part brainstorming session, and part proof that one familiar idea can become something wildly original when you ask the right questions.
