GM Idea

[Carnal_Flower]

I've been contemplating writing a GM story for a long time. Why? Because I find the right ones to be really hot.

So I was watching a crime show the other day, Forensic Files, and I happened to come across this bizarre story.

A very beautiful young gay man, a college student, was found bludgeoned to death, and after some detective work a cop was arrested for the crime--a married cop in the same station investigating the crime with a perfect blonde wife and two little children. Apparently he met the guy when he arrested him once for disturbing the peace and they started this secret fling. The cop never told him who he was, he'd just show up late at night for sex. Apparently he fell in love with him and killed the kid when he threatened to break it off.

OK, the murder part doesn't interest me but the idea of a cop sneaking around for gay sex really does. Especially because it's true. I would love to write about it. Can't decide if I should make the cop married or not. Could just make him slightly closeted and afraid of hurting his career. Or maybe even not.

Is it cliché? I'm wondering if the hot cop appears in a lot of GM stories. Also, is there a readership for married dudes sneaking around or is that going to be a turn off.

Sounds like it's worth pursuing. Needs to have a strong, preferably surprise ending. It's not the sort of story that should just peter (no pun intended) out.

It's a fascinating story. Sounds made up but it's totally true.

The wild thing is how they caught the guy.

A witness was IN THE POLICE STATION and just happened to pass the cop in the hallway and he's like That's the guy. Of course he;s really gorgeous and looks like a Chippendale's dude. But, well, he's in jail for life now.

Anyway I thought I would focus just on the secret affair, beginning with the arrest that leads to them meeting.

Sounds like it's worth pursuing. Needs to have a strong, preferably surprise ending. It's not the sort of story that should just peter (no pun intended) out.

But it's a story. They caught the guy isn't a story ending. Suggest you need to think about what the endgame here is. The story twist ending is something like somehow he didn't really kill the right guy, who pops back up to cause trouble (overworked), or somehow the guy belatedly set in motion a plan to kill the cop too--in some way that revealed he was actively gay--or just that he set loose a postmortem outing of the cop.

Most real life stories don't provide a story ending. It's rarely good enough just to regurgitate a real-life happening.
