Like everybody, I get some ideas but either don't have the time to develop them into stories or I simply can't figure out how to. So I thought I'd share some of my ideas in the hopes that they might inspire others. If you can use them, great. If not, it's an "interesting" glimpse (and you wouldn't want to look any closer, believe me
) into that strange place I call my mind.
How about computer controlled sex toys? They would be connected to the computer either directly (USB for example) or via an infrared connection. The owner can download or create scripts that control the toy. In addition, there are "virtual lovers" you can download that talk as the toy does whatever it's scripted to do.
These would be easy enough to substitute in a story for "normal" toys. But with the virtual lover aspect, there are other things to explore. Maybe someone gets a little too attached to the toy and stops seeking out human partners. Maybe they develop an affection for the virtual lover and set out to find the real person behind it. (Perhaps the virtual lover doubles as a conversation program like the Sylvie or MS Agent characters do.)
Maybe there's an angle I haven't thought of. If you can use this idea, good luck to you.
