Dimensional Gate

[LadiDarkMoon]

I would love if someone would consider doing a story for me about a dimensional gate in a man/woman's bathtub. Something like it's a new apartment...water is too hot/soap in the eyes...hits the cold switch the wrong way ( perhaps it had been previously tampered with )...next thing they know they are standing under an icy waterfall and let it go from there.

Interesting. Sort of a bathroom, porn version of Stargate? I assume by dimensional gate you are talking about an inter-dimensional transport. There is a whole genre of these stories, although I have yet to run into one on Lit.

There are a few things to work out. For instance, do you end up in the same dimension but in a different place? If not, what are the physical rules in the other dimension? Are the dimensions parallel?

Interesting idea, LadiDarkMoon

I was thinking/hoping for a new dimension or parrell of ours.

I would have considered writing it myself but I am not very good with creating a new interact society it would take me years and I like instant gratification.

This idea has been used quite a few times. Heinlein used it to jump in time. Asimov used it to move across space. I've seen a few others who used it to jump into parallel universes.

The trick is to define the physical laws of the other universe. You don't have to include them in the story, just follow them. For instance time can run faster or even backwards. There was an original Star Trek episode where the universe was exactly like ours except good and evil were reversed.

The story is very do-able. I think you should go ahead and write it. If you need help, just ask.

Now what's this about instant gratification

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

Drats I have been confronted about my needs. :eek!:

::quickly shoves all her toys in a draw and locks it, glancing around whistling:: You know nothing I tell you...::chuckles::

But yes, it is a very doable story line. One of my favorite inspirations is Asimov The Ugly Little Boy. As for the physical laws of the story- where I am asking for someone else to write it, I don't want to rule what they write.

I recall a story (suposed to be true). Tolstoy walked into his parlor and heard his oldest daughter reading "War and Peace" aloud to his two younger daughters. At the end of the chapter Tolstoy said, "That's good. Who wrote it?"

That's how I am. once the story gets out. It's gone from my mind completely. You don't need to rule the universe. Just understand how it works.

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

I'm not sure I am understanding your point completely Jenny; or maybe your not understanding me?

I don't want to understand how it works, in my mind that is for the writer to understand and convey. I am just throwing an idea on the table in hopes that someone else will pick it up and play the part of the writer on this one while I focus on something else. Once again it really falls down to my need for instant gratification again. Technically I could write it myself but where I am presently working on another story I would rather not be bothered by it and yet I want it turned into a creation now rather than wait until I am finished with that I am doing (or temporally interrupt what I am doing for that matter).

OMG! You don't write 4 or 5 stories at once?

Not sure what I can do for you. This story would take a certain amount of thought on the front end, then a few hours to write. The a week to rewrite...then.. Is Christmas "instant" enough?

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

That's the problem I do write 4-5 stories at a time and I am full!

The one story I am working on now is going to be written as 4 one from each person's perspective. I've already knocked out the rough draft of Last/First story in the series of 5. It just needs some editing and touching up really than I can start on the rough draft of the girls.

That's sort of where I'm at. I have three half written. Fragments of three more and notes for another.

The problem is, there aren't that many people on Lit who write sci-fi.

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

I love to read sci-fi but my husband is much better at writing it than I am ( he just doesn't know that yet ). He follows science of the day very closely and is brilliant at taking what is relevant today and making it the possible object of tomorrow...I am more a fantasy writer myself. Faeries, Ghosts, Witches, Monsters, ect...

I've been reading and writing sci-fi for 20 years, although the stuff I've posted on Lit has been more humor than anything else.

When I'm writing true sci-fi it's much like the stuff from back in the hay-day of the 50's-60's. The writer I'm most like is probably Cyrl Kornbluth. Very strong ideas, very terse prose.

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

About oh...7-8 years ago I wanted to write a Sci-Fi focused around a group of teens on another planet. The planet they thought the originated from was greedily consumed in it's resources so a fairly selective group was picked out to move on to the next planet over. ( Much as if the government got Mars into a livable state than picked who got to live there...dooming everyone else to death )

This original group of travelers set up on the new planet-- time moved on and information was lost and soon enough everyone who was named as an original traveler was now idolized as Gods or Goddesses that made the planet and people. Long story short the teens it focused around didn't like how their society was run because they were thinking in narrow minded terms ( all of them rich kids with no cares in the world who had never seen how the "poor" people lived ) and discovered they were speaking up about the wrong things. And the main girl out of the group has to discover her past, yad yad yad.

Needless to say; the past and planet is painted on paper but after 3 years of creating everything the real story never made the cut onto paper. ::shurgs::

This explanation struck me really funny. There was a point when I might have liked to see Daniel Jackson in a stargate porn (but not anymore). Oh, I'm such a dork!

Jenny defiantly made me crack a smile at that comment. I was just trying to picture all these official types crowed into my 4X4 bathroom to make the jump.

Worse yet, having the gate in your bathroom could be dangerously embarrassing. What if it went off while you were on the pot?

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

You’re running the shower because you’re almost ready to hope in and Boom suddenly there is this big, loud, confused guy standing in your tub? Now THAT would be even more amusing.

If this is a multi-dimensional story, that assumes he is even human. He could be a three-headed, gay, cock-sucking dinosaur.

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

Now you’re tapping into the freaky dreams I had a couple years ago. My (now) husband was a 7 foot tall docile talking t-rex. But no one seemed to notice other than me. ::looks around::

Question: Why do you want the gate in the bathroom, anyway?

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

For some reason when I am in the shower and all the days stress is melting away all I can think about is:

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if a big black hole opened under my toes and sucked me into another dimension?"

::shurgs:: I don't know...I guess I am just odd like that.

 

[Jenny _S]

Hmmmm

Actually this story has potential, more so as a non-erotic story.

I would see it this way.

Woman lives in a house/apartment/condo for some time. One evening she is in the shower in the gate opens. She has the choice of hopping through or not. Of course she does and ends up in another dimension where she experiences some adventure.

Now the problem: How does she get back? Does the gate open periodically? Does it open in the same place since each dimension would likely move independantly of the other? What kind of time interval? Does the other dimension run on a different time scale than this one in which case she returns only a few hours/days/months older but everyone here has aged years/centuries?

This would take some thought.

 

[Jenny _S]

The erotic version would be the same with a twist. She hops through the gate, has an interlude and hops back. But now she knows about the gate and can hop back and forth to visit her lover regularly.

Another problem: What stops the lover from hopping into this dimension? What about her husband? Does he find out about the gate?

 

[LadiDarkMoon]

Or does the woman's lover ( male/female ) have a confrontation with the husband first.

For all we know the woman blabbed her secret and her lover found there way back before the woman did.

 

[Jenny _S]

True. It could would a number of ways. What's needed is a story outline to cut down on all the side options.

I tried to answer your PM but your box is full. But send the draft and I'll give my best treatment
