I used to throw in some sort of random item/object/body part/etc to be used in the story, as well. I think the last one I threw in was "heart." I don't exactly remember what I called it though. Having to include the weapon or one of the deaths seen in one of the F13 films (just as an example) seems really predictable though. Maybe using one of the weapons from the films as a throwback or adding a new twist on one of the kills from the films. Is that what you meant and I just read it wrong?
I think for past themes, I didn't get the chance to really get creative before I canned the idea due to not many participating. I think I mainly just did holidays and specific months. This time around, I mainly just planned on writing down about a half a dozen ideas, throwing them into a hat, and pulling out what would eventually become our theme.
