Positions of Power

I think it's a good idea, but FS1 is into incest way more than me. I'd go with the great guy she passed on. The guy that was in the friend zone until he realized it was never going to happen. Years later, she's nearly homeless for the reasons he mentioned and he takes her in. It's a good underdog story and I know it happens in real life.
 
It seems to me in real life the power card has been played since time immemorial with almost predictable success... to very willing "underdogs". Very often it is the latter whose morals can be questioned and who may have been, in pursuit of wealth/career/position, hugely willing to abandon propriety and self-respect.

The classic Hollywood casting couch scenario is a case in point. How many of the female - and perhaps male - stars of the silver screen who now have an adoring public were once willing to do the unmentionable, precisely in order to leave the car wash and climb the ladder?
I am not sure.

I understand your point. I once read an article in a magazine where this married actor/actress was struggling to get work. They would go to parties and make contacts with potential filmmakers, but when they did not sleep with them because of their marriage vows, they got little work. So they decided to have an open-marriage and if given an offer, they would have sex, and thus get acting roles. It did work, but the wife had more opportunities, and thus a better career, and ultimately the two got divorced.

But on the flip side of that, there is Elizabeth Berkley who was an up and coming actress in hit TV shows, but then did the movie Showgirls. Instantly her career was over when it was up-rated from a R-Movie to and X-movie. Her counterpart, Tiffany Theisen, who by all accounts was more ladylike in her roles, had a much longer, noteworthy career.
 
He's homeless but does model shoots? How does that work?
You make a valid point because I was not very clear.

In the interest of brevity, I used the word "model", but in my story he convinced girls that they were beautiful and they willingly took off their clothing so that stunning photography could be taken of them in public settings. It was kind of the theme of the story, everyday ladies did not know the beauty that they had until he brought it out of them. From that, these stunning images often sold well.

As for homelessness. We often think of the atypical homeless person out on the street, but the charity work that I have done where homelessness is a subset of that charitable work; I know there are many forms to it. But again, you have a valid point. Even if I understand this, there is no reason readers would not revert to the stereotypical image of homelessness.

Thanks for the critique. The story certainly needs a little work to shore up.
 
I don't know. It's like she liked him only because he gave her a lot of money.
That's true. I guess for me it shows her that he loves her and she ends up saying to hell with it and reciprocating. He provides for her and she ends up giving herself to him in return - a fairly classic power-play I think. The incest part of it makes it fun for me - that she breaks the taboos and reconciles with incest in exchange for being loved and provided for.
 
I like the story idea FS1, but wonder if there is enough tension in the story? Its like everything just happens to her, she has no real decision making... good or bad in it? I can't root for either the brother or sister because there is nothing for me as a reader to care about here. She is not making good decisions, and she is not making bad ones. There are no decisions changing the direction of her life, just happenstance.

I might make the inciting incident of being caught with her panties far more dramatic. Maybe her and her friends catch him in the act and she makes him model them for her and her friends, embarrassing him; making their relationship really strained. I mean, that is the THEME of this story idea: Forgiveness. I would find creative ways to capitalize on his forgiveness towards his sister... but with a sordid twist.


“Arron, I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for me and the kids. I really don’t know what I would have done without you. I guess a cheap motel with me on the street corner after the oldest went to bed”, she laughed, a half-laugh because it was so plausible to imagine her having to do just that. But then in changing from the sadness of reality, she pulled a wadded-up pair of panties out of her pocket. “Here, have one of these as a way of me saying thanks. Remember ten years ago when I I caught you in my panty drawer”, she grinned? “Now my panty drawer is full, and in your house”.

“And you think that’s funny?”

“Well, it was for us”.

“Well, it wasn’t for me Victoria. I was forced to dress like a sissy, and then your friends told everyone at school. Ronnie, the gay kid in school, he pinched my ass while walking up the hallway. And Don and his friends, they worked me over in the locker room after gym”.

“You mean when you said a student backed his car into you? That was really Donnie pounding on you?”

“Kept saying I was a sissy, and would learn my lesson on how to be a little tougher. Broken ribs hurt a lot, and now you walk in here with your panties as if it was a joke?”

“I didn’t know, Arron. I’m sorry”.

“It’s normal, Victoria. Normal for a brother in the throes of hormonal changes to gravitate to his sisters or mother’s clothing as he realizes the power of the other gender”.

“You… you got into mom’s underwear drawer, too?”

“No, I gravitated only towards yours”.

“I see…”

“But your fun that night, it changed me. It harmed me. Beaten up by Donnie, how could I sort out my conflicting feelings? What was normal, suddenly seemed wrong, and I was beat-up and humiliated for it”.

“And why you have never had a girlfriend or a wife”?

“Damaged forever”.

“Are you… are you still a virgin?”

“Prostitutes”, he said quickly.

“Arron?”

“What do you expect?”

“I don’t know, but not that? It’s dangerous”.

“Maybe, but it works”.

“Often?”

“Often enough”, he said changing his tone quickly to that of indifference.

“Well, I guess it is better than me. There is no prospects when you’re a widow and have three young children”.

“When was the last time you had sex?”

“With my husband, if that tells you anything?”

“A year”, he said remembering the date everything had changed for her.

“Or more”.

“Wow”.

“Yeah, I know. I think got cobwebs down there”, she tried to laugh, using humor to dispense with another sad reality.

“You don’t have too”, he said, then when the look on her face seemed to be of confusion, to assure her of what he meant, he took her balled up panties in his hand, and inhaled a whiff deeply.

“Arron? You can’t be serious?”

“Let me play with more than your panties. You said it was dangerous for me to frequent prostitutes, an you would be one if it was not for me”.

“I’m your sister”.

“And what if you were a call-girl, and I called for one and you showed up at my hotel room, What would you do then?”

“Walk away?”

“Modesty doesn’t pay your bills, Victoria”.

“Neither would doing that”.

“Oh, it pays very well”, he said with a sweep of his hand around the house they were standing in. “Housing. Food. Clothing. Either way it seems, you’ll be paying while upon your back”.

“Your crazy”.

“And your destitute”.

“And now you’re taking advantage of me”.

“As you did of me, ten years ago, and now…”

“And now it’s pay back time”, she asked rhetorically, easing her guard as she realized what she had to do, to keep all that he had offered her?

I love this. It's exactly how the story should go. Perhaps a little bit of reluctance at the beginning until she finally orgasms.
 
Had a fun one today that split into three different ideas.

1. Female boss is moving to another branch so she and a subordinate she’s had a crush on but never acted on it due to their work relationship come into the office on weekend and fuck each other’s brains out.

2. Same as 1 but it’s her entire team. All of them had a crush and she’s going to let them have their way with her as a goodbye celebration.

3. Employee begins an Online BDSM relationship with a random account. It’s by e-mail and for the first month or so it’s all text. His sub has to be very descriptive and open and he responds in kind. He trusts she’ll carry out punishments but doesn’t press things. However they start to bond and sub is okay with pics from the waist down so she can prove she is doing what she’s being asked to.

Employee soon realized his boss is his sub. Now we could go the embarrassment route/blackmail what have you. But I think it would be better if he immediately explains the situation and after she mulls it over, she decides she wants to keep going: completely seperating both relationships…but over time combining them so they are playing on coffee breaks, after work, what have you

This one is on my hit parade for another story in my MILF Cruise series. The fifty-two-year-old cruise director is on her final voyage. She's already trained her replacement who has more or less assumed all responsibility. This last trip is just a formality. She's recently post-menopausal and is on hormone replacements and they are making her wildly horny. The young ship's officer that she's been attracted to for so long takes her out for drinks in Grand Bahama, and they finally admit their mutual attraction. They have wild public sex on a beach and then continue it when they get back to the ship. I'm not sure yet if it will be a nice romantic fling or turn into something with more participants, but that's the plan.
 
My only ship cruise of power one, was a half-written one where a husband and wife are on a cruise and the husband finally gets her to visit the 21 plus area of the ship in late evening. They are having a contest and the wife gets picked because of her husbands antics and her innocent looks. In this contest, whoever gets the answers wrong, or the other contestant gets the right answers, one of the two ladies has to remove an article of clothing in front of about 500 people.

The wife does really good until they get to the "get to know the person better" part where its revealed, she is doing so well because she is a teacher... at a Christian School. She knows History and Geography because she teaches it. So the host of the gameshow starts asking about Square Roots of numbers, and gives the answers to the other lady. Its clearly cheating but the wife ultimately is fully naked because she is the woman-next-door and a Christian School Teacher making the full on naked reveal so esireable by the crowd... a naked comeupperance. She ultimately loves it, and tells the crowd afterwards that it was something her husband always wanted her to do and was glad she could do it.

I never finished it though. I kind of thought of an Indecent Proposal movie type ending, but never finished it regardless.
 
If it hasn't already been said, the 'power play' model is as old as the hills and you can trace its success as a fiction theme to its similar success in RL. Power and influence attract those who lack these and hope some will rub off on them.

Successful writers aren't stupid and they know what draws the punters in, when you strip away all else, is - verisimilitude. People enjoy - because they believe - because they can accept it as real. Simple.

Art copies life here just as in so many other areas.
