Anthology idea (Lit writer's head explodes)

[Strangebuddy]

I often find that I have tons of ideas for stories but I never end up writing them. However, I can always remember them and will often even elaborate on them...but never write them, that's the inspiration I had for this idea.


Essentially, a writer on Literotica (or ersatz site) has had writer's block for years. Even when s/he try to write, s/he can barely scribble out a few words and their demanding office job doesn't give him/her much free time anyway. So reluctantly, s/he decides to not even bother trying anymore.

However, the ideas for stories never stop coming...and they don't go away. When s/he is working or out in public, scenes are developing and playing in the back of his/her mind, dreams get invaded by old stories, and suddenly every interaction s/he has becomes inspiration for more stories which just start developing and branching off into new ideas.

things get so bad that the writer gets a migraine that won't respond to any treatment and gets worse and worse as more ideas pop into his/her head. S/he tries to go a therapist but when the doctor laughs at the ideas, the writer runs away to his/her apartment.

The pain gets worse and worse, like the writer's skull is splitting open. The writer goes to the mirror and they notice that that there is a crack forming on his/her skull. As more ideas grow, more cracks form. The writer tries to force her/himself to write the ideas out but it's too late: one more horny babysitter idea pops up and the top of the writer's head explodes.


Now suddenly, every story idea the writer ever thought of has been released. Hordes of bisexual cheerleaders, tentacle monsters, pseudo-bdsm practitioners, and a metric fuck-ton of incestous couplings are now all spread throughout the world, just waiting for regular people to stumble upon them.

----

So essentially, after the first chapter, any idea can happen. Most of the ideas were more humorous i had but it could go any direction. The finale would be a few recurring characters finding the author (who is lying back in a state of post-coital bliss and still very alive) and getting them put back together.


Some ideas I had:

A character from a nonconsent story goes everywhere, subconciously trying to get in situations where she will be taken advantage of, only to find that no one will.

Literotica versions of celebrities and people the writer knew start ruining the lives of their originals,

Stories that weren't finished have characters with limited ideas or ability to explain themselves

For example:

"We're the cheerleaders!"

"Where are you from though?"

"School. Where else."

"Which school?"

"...School, stop asking stupid questions."


But that's just a few ideas I had, what are yours?

Pretty interesting. I might opt against the literal head explosion but there's certainly a lot of fun that could be had with the concept. Kind of a porno take on Stranger Than Fiction with a writer suddenly encountering characters they'd only conceived in their mind; possibly play with the idea of whether it's really happening or they're just going nuts.

I really like this idea.

You could always write the first story and then offer to let other people continue their own little side stories off your main idea, with your permission.

It's got a Stephen King quality to it.

CyranoJ: That's definitely an interesting spin. while I was aiming for an anthology of stories around the idea of "what happens when the regular world becomes flooded with ideas from a suppressed writer's head" I could see writing a good story with that idea.

For example, after dealing with a number of incidences where he can't prove any of them happened, the writer quickly starts believing that every plot bunny he encounters is a hallucination, so he starts going along with it just to feed his libido. Lesbian couple wants him to watch? Sure. Japanese woman asks him where she can take her tentacle monsters? He gives her directions. Fairy glen in in his bush wants him to cover them with honey and lick them clean? He's game. All the evidence disappears in the morning, anyway, so what's the harm?

Then he's working late one night and is about to go home when his boss asks him if he can give her a ride. Hi boss is dressed in a mini-skirt, high-heels, stockings with obvious garter-belt, and a tight blouse. Obvious hallucination, right? So instead he takes her out for a night on the town, then takes her back to his place where he lives out his fantasy of screwing her over and over. Then he discovers in the morning that she's still there: She ad actually been stood up for a date and he had caught her in the right mood.


Everday_man: yeah. it does kind of have that vibe, doesn't it. A little JC's "In the mouth of Madness," too, now that I think about it.


I had another idea for one of the individual stories.

A erotica lesbian goes into gay bar, trying to get lucky but finds that the other patrons aren't too trusting of her (remember, erotica lesbian, so she walks around with a perfect figure and her face looks like she had a hollywood makeup team work her over every morning), worried that it's a stunt for a sorority, a gag, or someone's wife trying to get someone back to her place so her husband can watch or they can badger the poor girl into a threeway. Eventually one of the patrons decides to take her seriously and starts a friendship, though she keeps noticing how odd the details of her new friend's life are
