I
realized I should do this when I looked at how large my little
text file of “things I should write about” got to be
so big I knew I'd never write them all. And I think some of these
are pretty good (not to toot my own horn...), and I'd kinda like
to see how they turn out. So feel free to use any of them,
although please, please, PLEASE, contact
me and tell me if you're using one so I can take it off
the list and no one will plagiarize your work; and please give
Mystitat (or whoever submitted it) credit for the idea, if not the
execution of the story. And it would be so
awesome if you've written a story for any of these, could you
please send me a link back to the completed work that I might post
it here? Thanks!

The human owners of the junkyard decide to get guard-dogs. What's worse is that it is pretty close to the Jellicle Ball, and the cats not only have to be rid of them, but be rid of them by the time the Ball comes around. (idea submitted by Spizz)

The Jellicle Ball runs late one year - the new day begins before the 'Jellicle Choice' is made... (idea submitted by Laws_1812)
After a freak thunderstorm, the Jellicles discover that their 'Jellicle qualities' are gone (refer to Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats). (idea submitted by Laws_1812)
Bustopher Jones writes reviews for his favorite restaurants/clubs, etc. (idea submitted by Laws_1812)
Something happens, and the Jellicles become Pollicles, and vice versa. (idea submitted by Laws_1812)

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer analyze their song, sharing stories about their best raids, etc. (idea submitted by Laws_1812)
One of the Jellicle kittens is adopted by a very rich person, and is subsequently endowed with vast luxuries. Riches can have consequences, however ... (idea submitted by Kalatia)
Macavity sees Pouncival being cruel to another cat, and gets said kitten to join him out of guilt. (idea submitted by Kalatia)
In all seriousness, Tugger's curiosity is killing him. After all, curiosity killed the cat.
Rumpelteazer and Mungojerrie are going to throw water on one of the jellicles as a joke, but one of the kittens gets in the way. Calamity ensues. (idea submitted by Boof) (taken by Diancecht)

Who or what is Firefrorefiddle?
Notice how the Whiskas cat and Munkustrap are both silver tabbies - Munkustrap's owners registered him as a "model", and no-one in the junkyard knows about it. Munkustrap almost successfully keeps it secret, until the kittens find an old tin of Whiskas and recognize him, then run and tell the rest of the tribe. (idea submitted by Puddycat) (taken by Demecat)
Tugger in Barbie Land. Think about it. (idea [if you can call it that] submitted by Serendipity)
Macavity accidentally inhales some helium, then decides to go to the junkyard and try to scare the Jellicles by doing his infamous laugh.

Thus his empire falls, and the Napoleon of Crime is no more. (idea submitted by Puddycat)
Jellicle 'owner' gives Jellicle the name of a famous person with name similar to their Jellicle name. Let's say Mistoffelees is living with someone who gives Misto the name of "Mephistopheles" (sp?) or Deuteronomy gets named that as a kitten. See where I'm headed? (idea submitted by Melissa)
Munkustrap and Jennyanydots have a spat, and agree that they must switch jobs for a week: Munkustrap takes on Jenny's chores, and Jenny takes on Munkustrap's responsibilities as the second in command for Old Deuteronomy. (Idea submitted by Aviva)

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer try the cartwheel thing, but it goes terribly wrong. One of them gets hurt. (Idea submitted by Ithillium)

A/U: In the Jellicle Ball of the video, Old Deuteronomy realizes that Gus is not going to make it to the next Ball, so he sends him to the Heaviside Layer instead of Grizabella. Of course, Griz has still been “accepted” back into the tribe, so she is going to live with them for at least another year in the junkyard. But it's hard to reaccept someone you've hated so long, just because of a little touch... (thought of by Tantabomb)

Macavity's kitten (who is too young to talk yet) is adopted by the Jellicle tribe, but he soon shows some, erm, evil tendencies.
Don't tell anyone, but Pouncival is really just the alter ego of The Great Rumpus Cat! But he has trouble hiding it sometimes... (taken by Ekwy and used for the fanfiction contest: “Anything Fiercer”)
