SRP Support Thread

Just a comment, but cell phones can be purchased without plans and then minutes are purchased for the phone with no registration of the number to a person only the number. ATT Go Phone, Boost Mobile are examples. Jason Bourne uses them a lot.

Sorry Dr J, not sure what you meant by that and what you quoted

So. After a recent bout of my own slow posting, I lost the cowriter for the thread Omen.

It was meant to be a fairly slow non-accurate historical romance thread, very different from my normal choice of stories. The intent was to try out something new and expand what I am able to write.

I guess, part of why I'm still attached to this one is because it's still a fairly new thread, there aren't that many posts in and unlike most of my stories, I have a fairly good idea as to where the story is going to go.

Synopsis - A false prophecy leaves a girl running for her life. In an effort to get to the bottom of why she is suddenly persecuted, as well as to aid her escape, she disguises herself as a male. On her way, she runs straight into the people she should be avoiding. Circumstances make it so that she can't leave without causing suspicion, and during that time she falls for the person that just might be the one that turns her in....

What I was looking for in the male part, is someone who's very loyal to his country. His own loyalties often conflict with the morality of some of the commands he's been given by court, but that loyalty has always stood it's ground. I wanted to see the struggle between personal feelings and the upstanding citizen he's been so proud of.


Anyways, after that introduction, the question is should I keep trying to find a writer for it? I don't particularly mind starting from the beginning, but I wanted to get away from the N/C I've been so fond of. It's not a very flashy story. Any suggestions as to whom I should pitch this at?

Well VT hunny, I just started reading it and as is true with most of your work, it's excellent! But if it means enough for you to post and ask then I'd suggest you don't let it fade into nothing

Veroe said he wouldn't mind working on something with you, perhaps this could be it? Otherwise, branch out a little and seek a new co writer. It meant enough that you'd bother asking and describing, to me, that suggests it is dear to you and you should never let go of the things that are dear to you

So, I'm having problems with Of Fingernails And Dark Gifts, She Dreamed.
I'm honestly not sure what to do next, and I'm not sure why I'm not sure.
I could keep fucking with her, but we've been doing that for 60 posts. Of course, it's now set up for a much deeper mindfuck.
I dunno...maybe I just need to sit down and actually write a post and I'll get what I need to get.
Ideas would be welcomed, though!

Thanks Minxy for the support. Found a cowriter - FirmHanded_daddy and restarted the thread Omen as Tides of Fate I'm ridiculously excited now!!! =)

 

[Veroe]

Wonderful VT, I can hardly wait to read it.

 

[VampiricTouch]

And many thanks to you too Veroe! That talk really helped ground a lot of the important questions for a thread...... and it definitely makes me feel a lot better about writing something romance based.

 

[Veroe]

You're very welcome, VT? Have you finished marinating that idea for the dystopic fantasy yet?

I'm gonna start reading it now Vail, sorry I didn't get to it sooner, I'll give you my thoughts when I'm done! I love having new things to add to my reading list!

Wonderful thread minxy and I'm sure I'll be here once I start writing with someone

No worries Sixxy, that's what it's here for. If you're fishing for ideas or wish to discuss something and need some assistance to assemble the thread idea then you're welcome to post here as well. I'm happy to help where I can

Thanks Minxy for the support. Found a cowriter - FirmHanded_daddy and restarted the thread Omen as Tides of Fate I'm ridiculously excited now!!! =)

You're welcome VT, I'm subscribed looking forward to seeing it unfold, FD is a very good writer (I say this carefully cause I'll need to stick a pin in his ego most likely )

Glad to see you excited to write again!

Thanks guys. I'm being dull though and going with 'Alliance' as hers is set to shift from the crew of Serenity to a badass operative.

Holy crap Vail, the whole thread is a mind fuck and a half!
I'd almost think Ali is crazy but instead, I just think you're fucking brilliant!

I'd feel sorry for Fiona if I didn't just really want to see how Alison damages her. Lol!
I'd definitely use Lily's last line of dialogue against her though, where she emphasizes how Alison used her, Ali could get angry over it or sad or hurt and respond to that. It's your character so you'd best know which way she'd go with it Vail but that would be my suggestion for a starting point of your next post.

Yeah, it really is. And I think its about to get much worse. (and Ali is crazy as shit at the moment...but thank you )
The trick is that I need a reaction that stays in character, but also allows the story to continue.
I think I need to sink myself into Ali's head. Thats my problem, I think, that I've let myself get out of her mindset.

(I hope you're okay Minxy...)

I've been itching to do murder mystery. Like really really really want to try it. But I have no idea how to go about this sort of story. I have no concept about forensics, detective work, law enforcement work... etc etc. It makes it quite difficult to actually write... or even plan the whole thing...

suggestions? tips? help?

well, on the plus side, much of the detective work doesn't have to make as much sense as you might think. Do you need clues and evidence? Sure, but they don't have to be perfect. You can 'play hunches' and such.
Even the forensics stuff can be looked up or gained by watching a few episodes of law and order.
BUT
the problem I think you'll run into is making this all work while not being completely in control of the story. If you have a partner or partners and want to let them actually do things and make decisions, it becomes really difficult to get certain events to happen.
I've gotten around this by distilling whatever crucial events down to the bare core of what they need to be (i.e. the two heros MUST get attacked by Person A...but it doesn't matter where. They must find thing X and must do it before going to the lab...but outside of that it doesn't matter).
But its still tricky.
Actually, I kind of mention this on my notebook thread that there are some stories that simply won't do well as an SRP

 

[VampiricTouch]

I actually dont think I have too much of a problem with partner control. This is the sort of story where I'd want to write with someone I can IM with. I like to collaborate, not RP. Most of my stories I spend way too much time actually discussing with a cowriter what and how things are going to happen.

And... for the record. I don't have a TV. I grew up with TV banned in the house and I've gotten used to not having it. Don't intend to get one. no Law and Order for me. (heck. I had to go google it first.)

 

[Veroe]

I'd say keep it simple, VT.

Stick with the cliche for a murder mystery, Clue, say a couple is stuck in a mansion during a storm along with alot of other people, The owner of the mansion is killed. The storm cuts the power and telephone lines, so no help can come and more than likely one of the people in the mansion is the killer. You and your partner, are detective novel enthusiasts and take it up on yourselves to solve the case.

 

[VampiricTouch]

sigh... I still feel like this is the sort of story where I'll be bitting more than I can chew.

 

[Veroe]

Yeah, you'll need a co-writer to shoulder as much of the story-crafting responsibility as you are, VT. Someone enthusiastic about detective stories.

In short you'll need the right co-writer, unfortunately he aint me for this

 

[ShyMystica]

Ok guys, I have two questions about two threads to propose to you all.

Firstly, I am having a slight fumble working through a vampire attack. My character, being a human, is on the receiving end of some powerful compelling and I wanted to ask advice on some of the subtleties of what a human may feel/experience during those times. Yes, the emotional compelling is easy enough, but it is the physical side that I am struggling with. I mean, what would you feel physically if you were compelled to feel blind? Would you feel the sensation of your eyes changing? Would there be any other physical responses (heightened other senses, tingling in the face, etc). Stupid question, I know, but this really has me stumped.

Secondly, in another thread, I have a group of high class escorts trying to suss out a male character who is attracted to the rather shy character I am playing. Since I am not usually so forward I am slightly lost at how these escorts would interact with the man. Any thoughts?

Ok yep, sorry for taking so much of your time. Any words of advice would be great.

If not, happy writing.

Shy

 

[monique_minx]

Oops! Sorry Shy my bad vampire fault hehe

Her pupils dilate rapidly and her vision becomes tunnel, like a black outline on her vision that creeps in quickly until she can't see anything at all.

She'll be aware that she's blind but she won't know why so you can just her reactions yourself. It's not painful, she might be slightly light headed for it, dizzy because it happens quite quickly.

At least, that's what I imagined when I wrote it

As for the second one, it's not a thread I've read, a shy escort?
Wow...
That's really tough to imagine, can you give us a link?

Dearest Minxy,

Thank you so much for helping me clear that up a little. I feel rather stupid for getting stuck on that like I did...but you have helped a lot. I just have that part to go on my post and then it should be up. I fear it wont be as good as my posts usually are, but I am trying to give myself some leeway on that. *giggles*

Anyway, the other story is called Adam's Rib. It isn't about a shy escort, but a shy young woman who is forced to work in one. The part I am up to is where a group of the escorts take her out and they bump into a man who is trying to get to Sophia (my character). The escorts are particularly protective of Sophia, so they are trying to work him out. But I have never really written sexually forward, aggressive women before so I have no idea how to go about writing that part. Admittedly I don't think it would be a story you'd enjoy Minxy, but you are more than welcome to have a look if you wish. Any advice would be great.

*hugs Minxy tightly and kisses her cheek in thanks*

No worries darl, it took me awhile but I just finished. Quite the read! I'm astonished at the thought that's gone into it and it gave me a few giggles.

As for my advice, well now I don't usually play the shy one but if called upon, I can certainly manage it and you gotta admit, she has about fifty million reasons to blush right now!

My first recommendation would be that she quickly slips that dildo into one of the shelves, not caring where as long as it's not in her hands and that she's careful not to turn it on again.

Next, stutter. By god, I would not be able to make words as a shy girl in that situation and I would trip over them badly for a bit before I just stopped and took a breath to collect myself.

His wandering eyes! Oh I would be totally self conscious of my exposure (from a non slut point of view, the real me would be lapping that shit up lol!) so maybe she moves her hands? Folds her arms? Does something to cover her cleavage or something small like tugging the lace band to try and cover more up?

When she finally gets the words out, the attempt would be to act casual about the vibrator and just try humour which is usually the best embarrassment breaker. So maybe she says something like, "Oh, that. Yeah, my uhhh...girlfriends thought it would be a funny prank."

So then she tries to be casual and maybe rolls her eyes but her body language reads as Sophia being completely uncomfortable and nervous. Maybe a little fidgety.

The next thing she'd wanna do is draw the conversation away from herself by asking him a question like, "So what are you doing here?" and then she'll probably realize, "Oh right, stupid question I guess..." And she goes red again.

But she'd probably be questioning what it is a man can purchase in a sex store if she is truly as naive as you make her out to be. Porn would likely be a bit of a shock. Then you can probably have Alexis bound over and tell her Scarlett was only kidding, come back. Then she see's Jackson and she can say something like, "Oh...sorry, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend, Soph?" And maybe nudge her in the ribs in a suggestive manner.

That's just some ideas for how your next scene could go other people might see some stuff I've missed though. But I hope it gives you ideas at the very least!

for my Precious Lil Vampy Girl!
