Hurriance ideas - too tacky?

[sirhugs]

as we get a bit of distance from the disaster, is it too soon/too tacky to reflect upon the set ups it offers -

~relief workers comforting victims,
~two high school sweethearts accidentally reunited at a shelter
~a 'castaway' tale , two non lovers trapped in an attic together ( prerfecct incest setting?)
~ two virgins decide to devirginize each other, just in case
~one virgin, desparate to lose 'it', finds a friend or stranger
~ one last orgy as the bar floods
~all sorts of mismatches at hotels or shelters
~variation on this: workplace - office sets up at Houston branch....
~ a nun has a vision that sex will save the convent
~ <insert your ideas here>

I think that you could probably tell happy stories about it. Like the majority of your stories, I don't think it is too soon but you will hit some resistance. But you'll always hit resistance. As long as you handle the issue with tact you should be ok. Now telling noncon stories while closer to true right now is too soon and unless you just enjoy controversy it may always be the wrong time.

I agree with Sean, for the most part. There's a part of my brain telling me that I haven't walked a mile in those peoples' shoes, though. As long as the story is told with some kind of decorum, it might go over pretty well.

I had an online friend that was in Katrina's path, near NO, tell me as the storm was rollin' in, before they lost power, that he was off to an orgy. As the realization of how destructive this storm was set in over the next few days on the news, I got angry at him for seeming so frivolous, but then I thought about it. Maybe some people saw this storm for what it was, knowing they had no way out of it's path, decided if it was possibly their last moments on earth, then why not go out the best way they knew how?

You hear of the surfers that like to go out as these storms roll in, to catch the "big waves", storm chasers in the midwest... etc. There's always gonna be some THRILL seekers. Then there's gonna be the hero worship sex, the comfort sex, the sex with a stranger because there's nothing else to do. We all know that life goes on even in the face of these tragedies. Well, life does include sex.

YES! I know I'm rambling. I guess what it boils down to, your ideas are good, and realistic. Roll with it hon!

i think that SOME of those ideas could work... i think that the two high schools sweethearts reuinted at a shelter could be one of the best stories EVER on this site. talk about taking something wonderful out of tragedy! and there are messages of hope. the two virgins de-virginizing each ohter just in case could be hysterical and wonderful, especially if it was two former enemies or something =P i'd probably stay away from anything too flamboyant though... romance and humor (without getting raunchy) are good for things like that.

i think that if you just take care not to be callous (not like you would try to be, buty ou would have to step extra careful around this) then it could be absolutely wonderful. =)

good luck! i hope to read some of these when you get them out!

To be done right ( and I think these posters are correct about how to do them) would likely take a different writer than me, one with a lighter touch, perhaps. I aapreciate Sean's condfidence in me, but my "Katrina" story would only be publishable well distanced from events I think. Or maybe I just say that because I already have too plots many on the list awaiting words....

I was mainly trying to inspire others, I think.

 

[Pyro Paul]

well these stories all could be used with out context to the current natural disaster, but the idea that it is possible is fresh in peoples minds making it easyer to forsee and imagin the area your trying to portray.

but i think its kinda early to romanticise the current disaster. atleast wait till fox stops running that damn 24/7 running update of the stupid thing.

Or, you could change Katrina's name to "protect the innocent".

well, I can't even type " Hurricane" properly....

I don't think my touch is light enough.... and at this point, I could see me reading a story with these ideas, but I honestly don't think I could have enough finesse to do it. I'm in the middle of a tribute story of sorts to New Orleans. It's a erotic vampire tale... I'm trying to show some of the life and flavor of the city pre-Katrina. Problem is, I've never been there. Tried doin a google search on NO lately? Like finding a needle in a haystack for things prior to the hurricane. And what I do find just doesn't cut it. Personal experiences might help.... I dunno. Maybe my idea deserves a thread of it's own, and I'm sorry to ramble on about it here. I think that's what I've been doing a lot lately... rambling.

What about several welll hung black men raping two blonde teenage model look girls 14-19 and fucking them silly in a hotel...they have to have massive tits and @ss though and tiny waists

 

[Sean Renaud]

While I nave no problem with rough sex stuff I just don't think that would be a wise idea at this point. Now if you don't mind the negative responses go for it right now, otherwise you need to wait at least six months.

 

[Texguy84]

OK, minor nitpick, I've only rarely seen a blonde with this description. Sounds more like some of the Mexican girls that I know though

Only blondes I've seen like that only come in plastic form.... her name is Barbie

IMHO, I think it would be in poor taste. That event was catastrophic and writing porn about it would seem akin to writing porn about people trapped in the buildings on 9/11 before they collapsed, or people on the Titanic as it was sinking. They're real people and, to me, it just seems in poor taste to write about sexy situations occurring in the midst of one of the worst natural disasters to hit America.

I'm not rebuking anyone, but the thread title did ask if I thought this idea was too tacky. In a word, yes.

change the hurricane to a nasty snow storm.
that will avoid the taint of Katrina and still give you the setups I think you are looking for.


come to think of it I may try this myself.
LOL

 

[Elayne]

I could have sworn I saw a porn based on two people falling in love and having sex as the Titanic went down. Oh wait, that one won an Oscar or two.

Titanic aside, I think that I too would pass on a hurricane themed story.

If you wanted to set a story pre hurricane, back when New Orleans was the exotic party city for Mardi Gras and Girls Gone Wild, that would make more sense to me.

of course, James Cameron made a billion off of Titanic porn.....

 

[AppleBiter]

of course, James Cameron made a billion off of Titanic porn.....

A. We're not talking about James Cameron.
B. It had an implied sex scene in it, but was not, by any stretch of the imagination, porn. (If that's porn, so is "Overboard" or "Ghost." When I think porn, I'm thinking "Big Booty Mamas 7" or "Debbie Does Dallas")
C. We're not in Hollywood.
D. Does that make Titanic any less in poor taste?

I don't think that a Hollywood director making a film about the tragedy of Titanic in any way justifies writing porn about a very recent disaster in which several people died and were raped and murdered waiting for help that came too late.

The focus is not on Hollywood or what has been done in the past or what directors have done, etc. We're talking about your story idea, nothing else (not movies, books, etc. that may have been done about previous tragedies). You wanted to know if writing porn about Hurricane Katrina was tacky. In my opinion, yes it is, regardless.

I'm working on one... but *sigh* just never been there, can't get a feel for what the city was like.

 

[Texguy84]

Actually, I did stumble accross a story about that one time. You want to talk about a mood kill, there's a good one.

Well, since southeastern Texas is about to be collectively kicked in the teeth by Rita, how about a story about me and 2 or 10 or 20 Aggie girls who I have allowed to take shelter in my house to "ride out" the storm?

 

[Camarha]

sound like it would be okay... the only one i would stay away from is the relief workers/people in the shelter. That just sounds wrong to me like the worker would be taking advantage of the victim almost. I know you said "comfort" but i think it could still hit a wrong nerve for some people ( like me, just reading that idea) but the rest sound okay..

oh, the bar flooding / one last orgy idea made me think of the movie Titanic where everybodys going about their business like usual as their rooms flood.

just my humble opinion

 

[Sean Renaud]

Let me restate my previous opinion. This is a touchy situation. You''re a writer on this site. You know that no matter what you do you are going to get pulled apart. What do you care? I kinda thrive on the controversy from time to time, I'm thinking about writing a non-con on this subject just to see how many heads I can get to turn.
