Hey everyone - this is my first time posting in the AH. So: Hello.
I had this idea when I was scratching around for an idea for a Halloween story and was coming up with some total dross. There exists a thread for story ideas people would like to see, but I could not find one for stories that, frankly, would be better off staying in your head or on your own hard-drive.
This is for everyone who has a great idea in the middle of the night and scribbles it down. Before you get too enthusiastic about it, check that it's not on here.
Here's an outline I actually seriously considered for about five seconds in the wee hours of one night, before I laughed out loud to myself like a crazy person:
Title: THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
Category: Gay Sex
Synopsis: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin get it on. On the Moon.
Sample Text: "Aldrin fumbled with Armstrong's helmet, lifting the visor and gazing into his eyes. 'I love you,' he said, and meant it. They kissed passionately. Out of the window of the lunar module, the stars and stripes was stiff as a cock in the airless desert."
Any more pitfalls that authors should avoid?
