gimme a character.

[dreaming neon darkspot]

k, so i know i'll probobly get hell for asking this, but i need to write a dramatic monologue for my fiction writing seminar and can't come up with anything - can't think of any good characters to get into. any person or situation i think of has too much of me in it. it's due on tuesday and i thrive at last minute work, but does anyone just want to throw something out there?

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

okay yeah, clarification (the lack of which in the assignment is the whole reason i had to start this thread, actually. gahhh) i'm just looking for someone in a conflicting or confusing situation ... or just someone different or interesting. i know there are some writers here, so maybe you guys could just throw me a bone with the plots or characters you've never been able to use.

 

[MajestikMoose]

Write one about getting caught masturbating.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

hmm... well, considering this is going to be someone talking to a silent or limited party and i have to sustain it for several pages, i don't think that work since generally when people catch other people masturbating, they quickly turn and run away ... unless it's porn ... or creepy.

 

[Lunar Still]

Write about a music fan who meets one of his heroes, and plays kazoo for him.

 

[MajestikMoose]

... or creepy.

That's the point.

 

[MajestikMoose]

like, have the speaker invite the addresse to join him/her or something.

 

[Lunar Still]

Run away or grab the genitals.... there's the conflict, Laura!

I want your first draft on my desk by tomorrow at 2.

 

[Captain Beard]

This is going to turn into a Sexy Losers fanfic, I can see it now.

Option One: Think of someone you really dislike. Co-worker, ex-boyfriend, just someone who you really don't want to be around. Take the things you don't like about them and condense them into a character in a fictional setting. Try to color the scene by bringing out those traits, portraying them, and maybe even trying to bring to light what motivates them.

Option Two: A woman, between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one who can't seem to remember large portions of her childhood. There's no negative association or bad dreams or something to make her worry anything bad happened, but she's trying to create some sort of narrative bridge to explain what happened. It's become an obsession, and now she takes almost every opportunity to try and create some explanation for these little holes in memories.

Do one about a guy who slays dragons with his cock, rapes the minds of young Afghan children, seduces women with his endless charm, and is the worlds greatest Go player.

You know. ME.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

i'll even use my sexy voice

*takes big drag off cigar*

 

[EricT]

Yeah!

Also, don't forget the part about me being able to cum like 6 bison.

yeah, i'll finally be able to use my talent for brilliant diction in something worthwhile.

"What am i doing here?" our intrepid hero wondered, waking up with his face against the cool tile of the hotel bathroom floor, covered in various bodily fluids and pickles.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

Yeah!

Also, don't forget the part about me being able to cum like 6 bison.

hah, well that was actually meant for the getting-caught-masturbating-monologue i'm writing for russel, but i guess i could spare a mildly arousing phrase or two for you.

You captured my thoughts at that moment EXACTLY.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

Yeah!

pshh, you wish your bovine-like ejaculatory ability compared to the might of my 16 penises.

 

[EricT]

I do wish.

But I've been working on a form of mitosis for my testicles. Soon I will have one cock, but 100 testicles, which will blast a load so hard that even Jenna Jameson her self couldn't swallow.
