I have an idea for the beginning of a story, involving a group of friends and of course stripping games, but I need a little bit of inspiration as I have not written a story before I'm afraid it could get stale or even boring and discontinued.
I won't actually be posting parts until I'm nearly done, so it could be a while, Christmas at the earliest (work life balance is going to suck for a few weeks).
So anyway some questions
1) create my own characters or use a fan fic format? I can see some advantages (and disadvantages) to both
2) I'm thinking of 6 - 8 main characters (mixed gender), I can up this or reduce, but I'm thinking in terms of sequels (if this works), can I have opinions please
3) I'm also looking for more well written character driven stories that have stripping games/forfeits for both inspiration (read refining ideas) and examples has to do it right, anybody can write "she stripped as she lost and then spread her legs and said come on and take your prize", If I invest my time in this I want others to like it also. Again this will be a weakness of mine I waffle slightly, I will be editing and re-writing a good bit to take this out, hence the expected lag time between this request and posting.
4) For the scenario I'm imagining 16 -18 year olds fit, are sheltered kids of that age believable or should I set the story back into the 80's? (would 15-17 work better on this site)
5) Am I better writing "I" or third person ("billy couldn't believe what he was seeing") I have a feeling that I will slip into one or the other, so the people who have written before, what is the most natural way to write it?
6) I'll be using word and then cutting and pasting when done, will there be any formatting needed for this site?
I'm going to post these questions on another site I like also and hopefully, the answers I get will help to write a likable story.
and no doubt there are some spelling errors, its a flaw I have that I am working on.
Thanks in advance for any replies
