What do you think ?

[destinie21]

Okay I need help. I would have posted this in the story ideas forum but I never get responses on my long drawn out questions.

What I'm toying with is the idea of a state senator's wife having a lesbian affair, because she lives in a loveless marriage. She is under the mistaken impression that being with a woman isn't cheating. Four years later the senator decides to run for president. Whilst snooping about a reporter finds out of the little woman's affair and decides to make it national news. She of course doesn't want to be outed. Okay so what I need to ask is if the storyline is "worthless" or perhaps wasted on an erotic story.

Sounds fine to me, Mrs D. Would make for a good NC/forced arousal sex in the later part of the story too (If you can bring yourself to write that)...

 

[NoJo]

I'm not so sure about the "outing" side of it: I'd prefer it if the senator was paranoid that the "other woman" and the reporter are trying to blackmail him.

You'd have

Senator
Wife
Other Woman
Reporter

all involved in an interesting dynamic. Vaguely reminiscent of screwball comedies like "Philadephia Story".

You need to decide what the real motives of all four people are.

And to asnwer your last question: I think it could make a fine erotic story -- but not a stroke story.

 

[shereads]

Seems worth a novella, or at the very least a multiple-chapter story. I like the political angle.

It sound like a great idea an it could go a hundred different ways.

1. The Reporter is torn between what would be a great career boost and the erotic possibilities with any of the other players. (It would help if she agreed with the Senators politics and thought that he would make a great President)

2. A blackmail / sex scene with any individual or combination of the other characters is possible. This could be consensual / non-consensual if the character approached the reporter with the intent of seduction and then went along as the reporter “blackmailed” them into having sex.

3. The “Other Woman” seduces the Reporter and then threatens to blackmail her.

4. The Senator is so turned on by the idea of his wife being with another woman that he quits the race and has a 3 way with them.

5. The Senator is a total scum bag and threatens the Reporter only to have the other woman and the Senators wife come to her rescue and blackmail the Senator and the three woman live happily ever after or conversely they could punish the scum bag.

Let your mind wander around the possibilities and find one that turns you on. It all sounds like a great foundation and if you find it appealing chances are others will as well.

However to do it right it would have to be fairly long. IMHO blackmail only works if you take the time to get inside the characters and develop their individual motivations.

Good luck and enjoy.

Intriguing . . . seeing a lot of different exciting avenues you could take this down! Go for it!

 

[Black Tulip]

I think it's a great idea. Just don't waste it on a short stroker. Go for a novel with erotic scenes.

Good luck!

I'd say it's Novel material, not Lit material.

I like the idea - it gives you a lot to work with. All that said, I love stories like this where early on you THINK you have the plot figured out only to have the writer throw in an unexpected curve. I know that can be a strain on the creative forces within you - but I know you are talented.

Even if that doesn't happen here, if its well written it can work. There is always room for good writing and I do so like your style!

Good luck

Your story outline might be OK in the USA but it wouldn't work in the UK.

We aren't bothered about sexual scandals so the plot would not be interesting.

Our Prime Minister had a mistress? Turn the page, switch channel, who cares?

What Churchill did with his cigar - he smoked it. With his mistresses - he fucked them. With booze - he drunk it. He had severe bouts of depression - he drank more booze. He had a stroke and couldn't talk? So what? He was Prime Minister. The Members of Parliament (his party and the opposition) covered up his incapacity.

John Major, supposedly the dullest Prime Minister we have ever had, had an affair with Edwina Currie - or so she says in a novel. No one cares except that wanting to have an affair with John Major might be a sign of desperation or lack of ambition.

So. Your novel wouldn't travel to this side of the Atlantic but could work in the US.

Someone showed a nipple at halftime? We see nipples every day in our newspapers. We see them on mainstream TV. We have had naked women running the length of a rugby pitch bouncing the 42Ds. Nice photos but the page gets turned.

I'm with the old guy above, go for it Des, on Lit would be fine, but if you publish it, no shock horror this side of the pond.

Work it a bit, and maybe kill the reporter, chuck in a few conspiracy plots, then you might catch some interest this way.

Over here, we take no notice whatsoever of sexual preferences, we pretend to get up in arms occasionally, but in truth we don't give a toss what gender anyone wants to bonk with, or for that matter when.

So, what you're saying here is that if Bill Clinton had gotten a blow job from a guy that it wouldn't have counted at all, right?

 

[Black Tulip]

Don't know about the UK, but I do know that in my country it's not even considered news.

The only time sexual activities of politicians were news, was when two of them were found fornicating in the Tweede Kamer, something like the House of Commons.

And of course when the second in line to the throne wanted to marry a girl who allegedly had been sleeping with a big time criminal.

In fact one of the current ministers, former judge, is homosexual but nobody gives a hoot. And why should they?

If you stop making a big deal out of it, it's no longer blackmail material either.

Not even if a woman was shoving a dildo in his arse at the same time.

If she had been shoving it in an ass or donkey then some of us might be annoyed.

We have a Royal Society to protect animals but only a National Society to protect children. Guess which one gets more money from the public.

lol clearly other places are more evolved. In the US ifpeople found out that the first lady was a dyke you can believe it would be news

Not in the UK.

Mrs Thatcher is famous for saying that she was the only man in her cabinet of Ministers. Was Mr Thatcher just a smokescreen? Is that why he was always drunk? He had been a successful businessman before his wife became Prime Minister.

We don't have First Ladies. Wives or husbands of our Prime Ministers are ignored. Even Prince Phillip is better known for his off the cuff remarks than for any scandals. So what if he shot a few tons of wildlife or referred to Chinese as slit-eyed ****s? He is the appendage of the monarch and has NO constitutional role.

Yea what about Paddy Ashsdown, (high'ish ranking politician), and his famous 'nine second bonk' up his secretary in his parliamentary office, worse thing he got called was "Quick draw McGraw" wasn't it.
