The "official" Story Ideas Valentine's Idea Thread

[MyRubiLips]

Hello and welcome all you lovers out there! Lit's Valentine's Day story contest has begun! This thread is a place for those interested to brainstorm V-day ideas in case you haven't finished a story yet.

Enjoy, and have fun! Also, please feel free to link your finished V-day Lit stories in this thread!

Nope, ain't finished a VD piece yet. I'm crawling forward with two: BOTANY 101, a somewhat true historical romance of two plant-hunters 125 years ago, and THE TEMPTATION OF FELICE, an LW tragedy (!) of a stud who gets all the girls EXCEPT the married woman he wants. Both are proceeding apace.

But another is nibbling at the edges of my mind. No name yet, but it's based on TOPPER, with a couple of substance-abusing exhibitionist ghosts trying to hook-up a dweeb with his/her seemingly-unattainable love. Just a rough idea now. Don't know if it'll be EC or LW or Incest or Group or what. The ghosts could induce their target to engage in all sorts of sexual activities; the prospects are endless.

Too busy on my stepdaughter's bff trilogy to pause for VDay, but I will toss out this idea teaser:

love potions...

Valentines Day "Blow Job"

How about this idea...

Guy remembers the disaster that was last year's V-Day and how much bitching his wife did about how he doesn't understand romance. So this year he pulls out all of the stops. He orders roses, spends hours choosing the perfect card, and makes a dinner reservation at the most popular place in town. At dinner he orders their best bottle of wine. All in all he spends upwards of $300 on V-Day.

The couple gets home and the guy is looking forward to some great sex. His wife hands him a Valentines card that is full of things she would never even think, let alone say. It is obvious that she picked the first card she saw from the cheapest rack of cards in the grocery store.

They go to bed and the guy makes his move and this year like every other year he gets shut down. When the guy asks his wife why she refuses to have sex on V-Day she once again bitches about every Valentines Day mistake he has ever made, and tells him he is about as romantic as a dirt clod.

Oh, and this story should go in the non-existent True Stories category on Lit and have the title "Every Valentines Ever"... because for the vast majority of men this is exactly how Valentines Day pans out year after year. At least for men, Valentines Day "blows", and it seems to be every woman's "job" to make sure it does. So there's yer V-Day blow job!

And this isn't just my experience. Every one of my married male friends tells me their annual V-Day experience is pretty much the same.

Of course you could write some romantic story with plenty of sex, but if you do, post it in SciFi and Fantasy because it would be pure fantasy and that is exactly where it fucking well belongs.

Sorry for being so negative. I rarely post any of my negative thoughts anywhere on Lit, and I almost deleted this one... twice. But everything about modern Valentines Day really really pisses me off and I had to vent somewhere.

Wow. Well, I should say that my experiences are pretty different. Maybe you could write a historical Valentine's Day story, then? Might have more fun there.

or write a sci-fi VDay story- might be fun, certainly different... aliens, or the 18 year old that invents a sexbot; or finds an old sexbot in the basement....

Good ideas. Wish I had time to start one of those; I have an existing platform for those bunnies. But my seductive-corrupting ghosts story is taking over, and the botanists and the frustrated lothario are marching along. Time is at a premium now anyway because I'm dealing with a family crisis. If I have to help organize a funeral in the next couple weeks, I won't finish writing in time. That's how it goes.

condolences, if that is the best term to share your sadness.

I understand the writing/time dichotomy well- took on extra work related duties last fall, like 40 hours per month- not much writing got done while that lasted. Though your situation might be more like the dry spell I had after my marriage ended- so focused on keeping stuff together that writing was far from mind... it does get better.

to make this a Story Ideas post... I wonder if anybody has tried a V Day funeral theme?

Don't know about VD entries, but I recall at least one LW tale set at a funeral where the survivor recalls their mate's (in)fidelity.

I thought I'd give this a lil' bump in the chance that someone is still in the early stages of a Valentine's story and needed some inspiration. Good luck to all entrants!

As long as that not a metaphor.

But I digress. I still have time to let a flash story write itself. I mean, I have the opening, and an outline of everything that is thought and said and done, and I have the shocking ending. I just need to let the dental anaesthetics wear off.
