Well, a plot could revolve around the baby being the key to unlocking a long - forgotten recipe in the factory. Maybe the baby's laughter or tears have a special effect on the ingredients. Also, the baby could get lost in the factory's most dangerous areas, like the fizzy - lifting drink room, and the characters have to work together to rescue the baby. It could also be that the baby is a reincarnation of an old candy - making genius and has an instant connection to the machinery in the factory.
In a Willy Wonka baby fanfiction, the baby might be a test subject for a new line of candies that give special abilities. For example, a candy that gives the power of flight. The baby's experiences with these new candies could lead to all sorts of chaos and fun in the factory. Or the baby could be the one to find a hidden door in the factory that leads to a parallel world of candies. This discovery could change the future of Willy Wonka's business. Also, the baby could start a friendship with a misfit candy character that no one else likes, and together they bring a new perspective to the factory.
Well, an interesting plot could be that the OC is a journalist who wants to write an exposé on Willy Wonka's factory but ends up getting charmed by the magic inside and decides to help Willy Wonka instead. Another plot could be that the OC is a fairy who has lost her magic and Willy Wonka's factory holds the key to getting it back. So she has to go through all the challenges in the factory. Also, the OC could be a time - traveler who accidentally lands in Willy Wonka's era and has to figure out how to get back while also helping Willy Wonka with some new inventions.
One idea could be that the reader is a new employee at the chocolate factory. They start to discover secret rooms and recipes that even Willy Wonka doesn't know about yet. This could lead to a great adventure as they explore together.
One idea could be exploring the backstory of the Oompa - Loompas. Maybe they had a life before coming to the chocolate factory that was full of adventure. Another could be a story where Charlie Bucket has to save the factory from a new, mysterious threat that even Willy Wonka can't handle on his own. And also, a fanfiction about a new character who enters the factory during one of the tours and has a special power that affects all the magical candies.
Perhaps the reader is a journalist who gets an exclusive invitation to interview Willy Wonka. During the interview, they ask him some tough questions which he respects. He then invites the reader to experience the factory in a way no one else has, and they end up having adventures together and falling in love.
One idea could be that a new character, a young inventor, manages to create a device that can temporarily stop time in the chocolate factory. This allows them to explore areas that are usually off - limits. Another could be a story where Charlie's siblings, feeling jealous of his success, find a way to sneak back into the factory to try and steal some of Wonka's secrets. A third idea is that an old acquaintance from Wonka's past returns, someone who knew him before he became a recluse, and tries to convince him to open up the factory to more children from different parts of the world.
One interesting idea could be a reimagining of Willy Wonka's past that's darker, like he had a difficult childhood that led to his eccentricity. Maybe he faced some sort of betrayal in his early days of chocolate - making that made him more secretive and controlling over his factory.
One idea could be creating an OC who is a long - lost relative of Willy Wonka. They could arrive at the factory with a unique skill, like being able to communicate with the candies. Another idea is an OC who is a competitor in the candy - making world, but ends up learning from Willy Wonka and becoming his friend. Maybe an OC who is a magical creature that has been living secretly in the factory all along.
One idea could be that Charlie discovers a long - lost recipe of Willy Wonka's that leads to a new type of magical candy. This new candy could have the power to make people see their fondest memories. Charlie then has to protect this recipe from a rival chocolatier who wants to steal it and use it for their own gain.
The Oompa - Loompas would definitely be main characters. They could play the role of protectors or guides for the baby. Charlie Bucket could also be a main character, perhaps as an older brother - like figure to the baby. Veruca Salt might be there too, causing trouble as she usually does and trying to get the baby on her side to help her get more candies.
One idea could be that the male reader is a chocolate connoisseur who gets invited to Willy Wonka's factory for a special tasting event. Along the way, they bond over their shared love for unique chocolate flavors.
