Potential challenge: 50 quickies (sex in all states)

[PaxNurgle]

Can we use existing stories or does it need to be newly written or stories written for expressly this purpose?

I have written stories that took place in Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, California, Wisconsin, and Texas; though the last one (which was set in Austin, Texas) was removed for reasons I wont go into here.

 

[PoisonPen33]

I would take a swing at this.

If I missed the initial pick of a state? Sex while straddling a state line.

"The border between Kansas and Nebraska was straight, then Colleen and Tina showed up..."

 

[ElectricBlue]

The short straw? ACT is perfect for a sex story; there's nothing else to do there!

You do realize, you smug buggers (you and Rusty) that Canberra is where I found my creative soul, the love of my life, my greatest heartbreak. Without Canberra, there would be no EB. I'd just be a kid from a small country town, not some bloke from a small city. Just because pollies go there and play grownups, doesn't mean everyone's an asshat.

You gotta know the backstreets, the paths up Black Mountain, and the pontoon out on the lake where Rosie undid her bikini top when no-one was looking .

Seconded. I've had some of the best times of my life in Canberra*. If you go there wanting it to be Sydney or Melbourne, you'll be disappointed, but it's its own thing and it has its beauty.

Unfortunately, the rest of the country has a tendency to elect crappy politicians and then find it easier to blame "Canberra" for the results of those choices than to take ownership of their own garbage.

*although none of them with Rosie, as best I can recall.

Well, I’ll take your word for it. We visited it regularly when I worked down the hill on the coast, and I happy to admit it’s an ok place to visit. Happier to see it in the rear view mirror...

After leading a very sheltered childhood, I watched my first ever porno in a Canberra hotel! Can’t remember the plot now of course...

I do like the hotels in Canberra, and the surrounding countryside is indeed nice.

Has anyone claimed New Hampshire for the event yet? I've got a pretty good idea for a story with the presidential primary as a backdrop.

Back in the day, Canberra was the only state/territory in Australia that permitted X rated (hard core) videos (maybe the NT, too). The Fyshwick Post Office had the biggest small parcel service on the planet, and as I recall, the truck loading bay backed onto a lane. Also backing onto that lane were two or three porn houses with high speed video recorders. Run the master at triple speed or whatever, slave ten copies, auto wrap and pack in brown paper, take the crates across the lane. Profitable businesses, all of them.

I visited Canberra years ago during a tour of Oz and remember being surprised at how pretty and distinctive the Parliament House was, with the lush green grass ramps up the sides. I loved the design - it was unlike any I had ever seen before (or since, for that matter).

50 states is cool. How about sex in different models of automobiles?

I've probably tried a couple dozen ...

It might work for certain notable types of cars, like a Volkswagen Beetle, a Bentley, or a Model T. For the average car, one is pretty much the same as every other.

I do have one story set in a New York taxi cab (a Chevy Impala), and another in a Checker used by a limo service. The latter has plenty of room in the back, plus jump seats.

You said "quickies" in your thread title. Is there a word count limit? I mean, it would make sense...

 

[PennameWombat]

I think we need to handicap you. We'll give you North Dakota and Oklahoma and see how you do.

(Apologies to you Sooners and Dakotans!)

Hey. Say North Dakota with some respect. Mel is from North Dakota (in the series Mel’s Phone Call and Chronicle: Mel & Chris) and although most of the story (to date) has been set in other states (Utah mostly, but also neighboring states) North Dakota has appeared.

Nuclear missiles, wide flat fields, oil wells and arctic cold (it was the week after Christmas after all) all made appearances. North Dakota is easy

 

[vanmyers86]

Suggested title for North Dakota story:
Minot? Why not?

And - go!

 

[YDB95]

North Dakota is one of the few states I've never been to. That'd make for an interesting challenge.

I went there last October to collect it as my 49th state. Naturally, they had a freak blizzard, which kept me in Minnesota for most of my long weekend. I wound up visiting Fargo for one afternoon. Very nice people, and thrilled to get a visitor.

Been there. I drove 200 miles to a concert in Dickinson. It was the last time I saw my girlfriend of the time. We broke it of, and I drove back home the same night. It was in the winter, I think. I got lost on back roads and had hallucinations from exhaustion and sensory deprivation while I drove home.

I'll never forget the giant tennis shoe that stepped out of the North Dakota brush land and walked down the road in front of me with it's laces flopping loosely as it went. I didn't know whether I should chase it or stop. I survived whatever decision I made.

I'm not volunteering to write that. I have other stories to write first.

Miller County Arkansas USA (Texarkana) being part of the Louisiana purchase from France was originally drawn utilizing the French boundaries -- which were in the main the drainage basins of rivers -- included rural areas and small farming communities lost to Louisiana (upon an actual survey), Texas (by treaty with Mexico) and Oklahoma (by treaty with the Choctaw-- which the Federal government subsequently unilaterally broke). That's four states right there .

Our series 'Mastadon' takes place in an "alternate reality" where the boundaries of Louisiana were not later amended (upon the Republic of Texas' entry to the US as a state) and so a strip of land remained a federal territory ungoverned by either, and the bailywick of a herditary series of corrupt federal governors that made the place a sort of Southern, Atlantic City/ Havana / Vegas.
