On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold

And the spiderman is always hungry...

Was listening to this track and had an idea for a role play. I’m looking to start some sort of thread about an otherworldly creature that lives under the beds of young women and only comes out at night to molest them (you know, the usual). Think about the stories you used to get told as a kid about the bogey man etc and you get the idea. Course he’s not interested in scaring the life out of kids, he’s only interested in sucking the essence from young women (I’m thinking 18-22 years old).

I’ll be playing the “bogey man”, I’m picturing him as a spooky kinda character, with maybe unearthly features involved (just a possibility, to use a clichéd example you can think a slimy elongated tongue, or tentacles or something hideous like that). If that's not your thing then at the very least he'll look like one scarey mofo. I’m thinking he’s a sort of psychic vampire that doesn’t feed on blood, but feeds on the emotions of his victims. Stronger emotions like fear, hate and lust lend him more strength. And in the morning he is gone, leaving his victims emotionally drained but otherwise unharmed. He only slips into the physical realm to feed before slinking away into the shadows, back under the bed where he shifts out of our realm.

I honestly don’t know how much mileage this sort of thread would have, but I just thought I’d air the idea and see if anyone was interested in playing. I’m looking for a female lead to play the poor young woman our candyman comes looking for. I’m thinking modern day setting, cynical family who don’t believe her when she tells them about this candyman type character.(he leaves no physical traces on her body for proof etc).

It’s only a loose idea at the moment, so I don’t necessarily expect to start the IC thread straight away if I get any interest. I’d be happy to discuss any ideas others have about the premise and see if we can come up with something enjoyable to play together. If you’re interested just PM me or post here.

Again, looking for LITERATE writers who enjoy writing detailed posts with reasonably correct grammar and punctuation etc.

Thank you for reading.
 
Hi Maius.

I'm new to Lit. but not to writing. I like your fantasy/ sci-fi themed SRP about what "lies under the bed."

For one of the females involved, I was thinking about a college student at home for the summer. Perhaps she's a science major so she keeps trying to find logical explanations for what is happening to her. She's intelligent but sexually inexperienced.

As for the appearance of our mythical incubus, some unusual, even hideous features wouldn't bother me, in keeping with the fantasy theme.

I like the idea. I know you're in the planning stages but just thought I'd respond to show my interest.

You know I'm always interested in your proposals ;)
Would love to play with your darker side but I see I'm not the only one...hardly surprising either :eek:
Will definitely follow this one whether I get to play in it or not :)
 
Hey hey, i'm new around here like Clarisse, but i'm not new to writing. Thought I'd pop my head in an RP and see what it'll be like. Your idea's pretty original, so.. Why not. I'll gladly join if you get it going.

Just wanted to make a post here and thank everyone who's shown interest. I've gotten quite a bit of interest in this thread (through the thread and via PM) and it's always lovely to get that kind of interest instead of ideas just dying on their feet.

With so much interest I'm tempted to open it to more than one female, perhaps the bogeyman works through several victims, or the girls are all in the same household (room mates, sisters etc).

i'm sorry redhairstacey, but I've gone over a few of your past posts and they're somewhat short and I don't tihnk our styles would gel.

BritWitch, I know you and love your style so you're in the runnning :)

Clarisse and wulfette, I'd like to consider you but I don't have any past writing to go off to get a feel for your RP style. If you could maybe post or PM me a sample of your typical writing style I'd really appreciate it. :)
 
This story seems interesting. I've only got a little bit of writing up at the moment. Between Heaven and hell and English School are about all. If you need me to send a better sample via PM feel free to ask :)

No problem...your loss.
 
Maius, I sent a writing sample via PM. Either way, lots of luck with your thread.
And a warm hello to all of the other ladies who posted above. :)

Woo hoo :nana:
Always nice to be in the running ;)
Having the bogeyman stalking multiple prey makes things even more interesting...
Just a suggestion but, perhaps if the girls are all room-mates at some...I dunno...highly religious college or other place where to even speak of such things would get them into all kinds of trouble :eek: leading to them not mentioning it to one another...for a while at least...allowing the bogeyman plenty of time to play with his victims... :eek:

A big ''Hallu'' and ''How do you do?'' to you too ;)
Welcome to Lit :D

I really like that idea, I think I could have a lot of fun with that, maybe a catholic boarding school. Which opens another sort of demonic vista, as in they might see the bogeyman as the devil or a demon or something (well, if they've bought the religious spiel from the catholic priest etc).

I'd also like to say I've welcomed Clarisse aboard to be one of the damsels. I was infact leaning towards having a single damsel but Clarisse has said she's comfortable with their being more than one, so if you're still interested in playing with other damsels then there'll be room for you. Still in the planning stages but it's starting to take shape in my head now.

Would love to be involved so playing with others is just a bonus ;)
Looking forward to writing with you Clarisse :eek:
 
Just another point, I'm quite open to the bogeyman getting caught/banished to top the thread off if you're interested in playing more a story to go along with the gratuitous sex scenes :p

I'm thinking eventually the girls pluck up the courage to talk to each other about it, then slowly they start forming a plan to trap the bogeyman and then banish him/kill him or whatever. Thought that might be a cool way to conclude the thread.

Sounds like a plan to me...sadly though now...it's off to work I go... :eek:
Catch you later ;)
 
Hi Britwitch. Thanks for the welcome. I've enjoyed reading your posts so I know I'll enjoy writing with you as well.

I like the boarding school idea and will also enjoy thinking up ways to turn the tables on the "boogeyman." ;) :nana:
 
Hello Maius! I would be very interested in playing a female, perhaps someone in their mid twenties? I am always open for new ideas. This just seems very interesting to do and I'm not sure I have seen or read anything like this done here on a lit board like this before. Should make for an interesting read and write.
 
Greets to all the others who're signing up for this, too.

Aaaand as for Maius...

Sent! Do let me know. :D
 
Ok, the opening Ic thread is up here

It's just to give a little feeling for the setting, I don't know how easy it is for others to jump in, I'm figuring the bogeyman/demon takes his victims one at a time (at least for now) so I don't know how easy it would be for more than one of the girlies to post in reaction to the actions of my characters yet.

I'm open to him taking other girls simultaneously, I just thought it would be harder to work (he'd have to completely drug them all really, or someone woudl notice!).

Let me know what you think, I might alter my opening post later today to make it a little easier for people to get involved. Sorry it took so long to get done, been a bit busy. :)
 
Fantastic opening...really set the tone and feel for things... :)
Any idea on whether the bogeyman wants to watch the girls for a little while first...?
Might help with us to get our characters involved and introduced before 'bumping' into him in the middle of the night ;) also would allow him time to decide who he's going to 'play' with and when... :eek:
Just some thoughts buzzing around my head... :D

Will start work on something from my character...think she's going to be called Evelyn...thought I'd mention it just so we don't end up with more than one character with the same name... ;)
 
Love the opening. :cool: I need to make some tweaks to the character I intended first, though, so I'll start posting later. =]
It's not likely someone'll steal my character's name, but for Brit's sake, it's Roseanna. Does anyone want to set the opening scene first?
 
I think I shall set an opening scene, if that's ok. Though I will probably get around to it later this evening.

I'm currently at the bottom of a glass decrying the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune after the dismal Manchester derby (football, don't ask). once I'm done wallowing in self pity at being a City fan I shall get back to my posts here. :)

Aaah, the joys of the derby days ;)
(Studied at Uni in Manchester for 5 years...always tried to avoid the city centre on those days :D)
 
Great opening! I like the way you made the demon a product of the tainted moral fiber of the school. Vivid, picturesque descriptions, too. Love it.

I'll get to work on my character and will post before the day is out. Her name will be Fiona O'Hara. Good Irish Catholic girl. ;)
