Living Characters?

So does anybody else have any thoughts on this? I"m currently typing away at the idea. I must say its coming along rather well. I'm just curious what other ideas we have? (also I deleted all my cookies and needed to resubscribe to this thread)
 
Has anyone thought of the idea of a lonely man, working on an erotic story, have his beautiful main character come to life and help make him not so lonely?

I love this idea! Sounds like a totally different take than what we've discussed so far. :)

I think this would be a wonderful story. She could come to him almost by accident and help him through all the things that make him so lonely. Sort of a counselor with lots of hot sex involved.

As for the main thread with characters coming to life is equally good. In a way it sounds like something all writers do at one time or another with the characters in their story. The writer wants to go one way but the characters don't seem to agree and can't be forced into a role they can't fit into. A story that focuses on this could be something that is hilarious and light or perhaps worked into some sort of sci fi story. Another poster said they might steal this idea and I would be inclined to agree. It sounds like there are tons of directions this can be taken in.

It's always been my belief that you could take 10 different people, "one story idea", and still come up with 10 different stories. :D

I still love your AV.

While I agree with your sentiment I've found that on Lit you take one story idea, say incest, cheating wife say a thousand people and end up with ten stories. And that might be a little generous.

Thank you. :eek: :D

Well, I think there would be, at least, little differences even if the plot ran the same way.

There are some overused plot lines, however, there seems to be a lot more varieties than similarities.
 
If we had a group exercise that said we all had to stick to the same basic plot, I'm sure we'd still have uniquely different tales. Each different person has their own personality. (Unless they're some kind of clone! Or totally plagiarize!) We all have our own personal likes and dislikes. The things that make us US would make a story "different" from another similar themed tale.

Well put, Eve! :)

The first scenario might make a good humor/satire.
I was thinking the same thing, in relation to Winnie The Pooh and Mr. Narrator.
Pooh and friends are seen in a magic book where the chacters can hear and respond to the narrator, dubbed Mr. Narrator.
On occasion Pooh or another character has stepped out of the book and onto the binding or standing on a white void, as if talking to God in heaven.
The resulting change in the outcome for a better story, becomes disaster for the character, and he/she asks the narrator to put everything (which we will assume means turn back time) back the way it was, which often occurs as a dream, with some kind of evidence talking to the narrator actually happened.

As for the second idea, I think we could go into it deeper, as the human can go in each movie like in "Charmed", or in other TV shows like in a segmant of "Amazon Women On The Moon" (changed from R to PG13/TV14).

Either way it is an interesting idea. Don't think it's been done here, at least. :)
Actually it has, in one of Woody Alan's films (erotic version of "The Mind Of John Malkovich").
"Here's Looking At You Kid" also took a visual only character into 3D land.

Woody Alan writes short stories for Lit, eh? :rolleyes:
 
P. S.

I've never heard of a movie called The Mind Of John Malkovich. There was one called Being John Malkovich, though.

What part? And thank you I respond abnormaly well to flattery.

The part where she is complaining about the DP when she was an anal virgin earlier.
And you're welcum.

It sounds like this idea could really be expanded. I'm glad to see such feedback.

FYI: I am back from my sister's wedding, of course. :D

I guess it must have been another version of it.
I just read the title and thought it was the same.

Do you mean "Play It Again,Sam," where Humphrey Bogart keeps appearing to Woody and offering him advice on his love life?

There's also "Deconstructing Harry," where Woody plays a writer whose characters appear to him, usually to complain.

He also did the alternate version, where the real person steps into the fiction. In his short story "The Kugelmass Episode" (found in his collection "Side Effects"), a man finds a mad scientist who has discovered a way to transport real people into books. He asks to be inserted into "Madame Bovary." He enjoys himself immensely, even taking her out of the book at one point, much to the consternation of readers around the world ("First there's this strange new character, then suddenly she's gone from the book? Well, I guess the mark of a classic is that every time you read it you find something new.") Hilarious.

That's the one.
"Here's Looking At You Kid" is about a teenager (movie usher who plays projectionist at times) who is a devoted Bogart fan.
He's seen all his movies, has Bogart merchandise, and especially loves "Casablanca".

One day, he fooled around with the film and something happened to it (I forgot how it happened), the living film manifested in Bogart's character after scanning the teen's mind.
Only he could see or hear him, but he swore to his girlfriend (thought he was having an affiar) that the character is real.

The living film was probably a military project, 'cause the story went in that direction, and would be boring otherwise.

I think it might have been a Disney/Bueno Vista film.

Now I'm more confused. :confused: Are we discussing a story on Literotica? A movie?


Oh, and I forgot Woody's best foray into the realm of fiction and reality intermingling: "The Purple Rose of Cairo."
 
this has slight similarity to my story Hard To Write in which the writer is complaining to his wife about his writer's block regarding a Valentine contest entry, so she enacts a few insprational fantasies for him.
