Finding Story Ideas?

[Texguy84]

How about a chain story about different Lit writers going about trying to find inspiration for their stories? Each author could go for a different angle, ie: one might play it straight and steamy, another might go for a satirical angle, poking fun at their own storytelling tendencies, one might go for a "Shakespeare In Love" angle with different elements from their stories randomly showing up (ie: I might have a story with the protagonist in my "Frightful Night's Delight" grumbling about his room mate forgetting to pay the electric bill or something).

Other elements might include Saucy going on a road trip visiting friends in the Southern US, Hallowed Eve and her hubby-to-be interviewing caterers, photographers, limo drivers, etc., SirHugs hanging out in a coffee shop flirting with the barrista, etc.

So what do y'all think?

I really don't think real people should be the subject of stories in this genre, unless the person is dead.
No matter how hot the celebrity, and thought of celeb sex, might be, I disagree with the celebrity section here.
Unless the person is dead, putting him or her in sexual situations can be considered liable, which was the basis of the alt.sexstories trial in the '80s - 90s.

as I posted elsewhere a day or three ago, my "Hard to Write" story starts that way. A Lit author gets assistance from his loving wife. It started a whole series when her sisters got involved.

Uhm... OK?
