Forum: Story Ideas

Now you have a vampire or possibly werewolf story.

Or a were-bimbo, and there are at least a handful of stories I recall which pursue that too.

Dogs, cats, horses, the kitchen table.

I hadn't actually thought it through that far, but it's hard to have an apocalyptic event if it's all based on sexual congress. After all, there's always a sizable amount of people not having sex at any given time (like everyone's parents!).

Since one of the symptoms, possibly the only symptom, is an insatiable sexual apatite, than it being sexually transmitted would make sense, particularly from the viewpoint of the virus (or whatever). The only problem I see would be how did patient zero get it.

I know, patient zero fucked a bonobo, who have had it since they split from standard chimps, and have evolved around it.

I'm not as fond of that direction, as it implies that only 'sluts' get infected, whereas in mine the victims are completely random (i.e. Priests, Nuns, Politicians, and little old ladies would be affected as well as all the 'beautiful' people). The potential to describe the odd-parings, while mothers hurry to shelter their wide-eyed children would be too delicious to skip over.

Motibate(account is now closed and purged) on Tumblr had a concept for an airborne "Nude Plague" that had over a 95% infection rate. Of course, given his particular fetishes and desire to pursue an erotic angle, it didn't stop at getting naked. ALL sexual inhibitions were removed once it activated in someone(once they were "mature"(18YO) of course), sex drives went way up, and everybody who was infected became fully bisexual.

The infection ran in stages, and while the infected once "activated" were always contagious. Its natural progression was quite slow(taking years to hit the next stage in most places), and even that next stage only really had impacts at night. (A second stage nude plague victim could wear clothes and behave normally in daylight, only at night did the compulsions come out in force)

Once people hit the later stages, they discovered that they could infect and greatly accelerate their progression to stage 2 and beyond by remaining in close proximity to their victims. IIRC, at stage 3 a compulsion to infect others came into play as well.

IIRC, Motibate did give permission for others to play in that setting, at least until it was taken down. The only person I know of to take Motibate up on it was bi-caps, who has a 21,00-ish word draft story set in the opening days of the Nude Plague, only his(?) story seemed to break a couple continuity points with Motibate's version. The bi-caps story in that setting remains available. (And was linked to by motibate at one point)

...But going back to quote on top. One of the caption pics motibate did post had a Nude Plague infected mother text messaging her children for them to, uh, come home for a "family meeting."

Well, since Motibate's story is no longer available to provide anything to have continuity to, anyone could basically write anything using bi-cap's story for a foundation, right?

I guess that depends on what Bi-Caps is game for allowing.

I can't speak for Motibate, but I don't mind anyone using the setting I've created. Goes for most of my other stories as well.

I'm not as fond of that direction, as it implies that only 'sluts' get infected, whereas in mine the victims are completely random (i.e. Priests, Nuns, Politicians, and little old ladies would be affected as well as all the 'beautiful' people).

Why only "sluts" most victims would be rape victims as the people already infected would want to have sexual relations with anyone who would hold still long enough, regardless of whether such "holding still" was voluntary.

If you do set up a "Universe" I suggest, considering SoL's rules, that the virus, or whatever, remains dormant until puberty, which in this universe would be at or about 14.

The "sluts" comment was an appearance I was hoping to avoid (i.e. if the disease is passed through sex, then only those sexually promiscuous would be infected). By keeping the disease viral, anyone could be infected, regardless of their background.

Decided this needed a minor augment. Just because it's "viral" doesn't mean its wildly contagious. Different virus strains spread by different means. Such as HIV/AIDS for example, it is primarily a STD, but can also be picked up by way of exchanging bodily fluids(specifically blood, others bodily fluids are technically possible, but the quantities involved are so large, its unlikely).

Of course, in that context, Ebola qualifies as a STD, among other things. :)

But even with a blood borne illness, as happened with HIV/AIDS initially, they viewed as a standard STD at first, and had no reliable means of detecting it (at contagious levels) once they did bother to actually look for it in blood banks for some time. So that is a viable contagion vector.

Which is where my earlier comment about how contagious it is vs how quickly symptoms start to show + how quickly the symptoms are (Correctly) identified as being viral and the means of transmission determined.

If it plays out slowly enough you get the scenario where practically anyone who needs regular blood transfusions + anyone who has sex outside of a (truly) closed group of people ends up infected before anyone realizes there is a problem. But that also means the buildup would have to be very slow, and practically inevitable for most people once it's realized that its a thing(because they already have it, and are presumably contagious well before their symptoms become more obvious).

The only question is if there are ways to "Accelerate" the progression of the illness at that point(but that also creates problems with Patient 0 and Patient 1 to account for how they didn't inadvertently cause each other's symptoms to develop more quickly until reaching the point of being "a noticed problem")

Of course, there are other ways to play with it too. If it's a blood based illness, there is nothing saying there couldn't have been some kind of conspiracy to deliberately infect people with it using some kind of vaccine ploy to either initiate the "patient 0 phase" or to "kick over" the zombie plague from operating in a "Carrier" mode to a "zombie" mode, where the "kick over" agent may very well be airborne and highly contagious. So then you'll have people with the primary infection, and those with the secondary infection. Possibly even people with the secondary infection without the primary infection(which could be interesting in other ways), but as long as a person doesn't have both, they're safe from becoming zombies.

There are other ways to do it too, something in the drinking water, aerosol spray of some type (lawl Contrails) and so forth.

great grandmothers, nuns and clergy ... gives you a broader range of interesting characters.

I can't remember any stories, at least on SOL where these specific occupations/characteristics were used in ways that made the story more interesting than say being male and doing things or having done things that a guy could relate to. I have no experience being a grandmother, a nun or a member of the clergy. I suspect few SOL readers identify with those types of characters. It would be more difficult to draw such characters in a way that would make it easy for me to identify with them.

If you do set up a "Universe" I suggest, considering SoL's rules, that the virus, or whatever, remains dormant until puberty, which in this universe would be at or about 14.

Or some other marker for (a) "physiological maturity" threshold. Ie. being able to safely bear children, instead of simply being able to become pregnant(could be tied to development around the pelvis), although that one doesn't fully address the male side of things. Or alternatively, fusing of the bone structures in the cranium, which for many people doesn't complete until their 20's as I recall.

apatite

"Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals, usually referring to hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite and chlorapatite, with high concentrations of OH −, F − and Cl − ions, respectively, in the crystal."

a group of phosphate minerals

Brings a new(ish) meaning to 'rock hard'

Back OTish: Gina Marie Wylie wrote Rotten Tomatoes (on BtFH) about a 'peazey' (peaceful zombie) sort-of plague (non-sexual)

In my defense, there was a reasoning for the accelerated progression, but I never got around to writing that part. :)

You presented a working theory for what was going on in that respect within the story itself, at least where what I called "Stage 3" types were concerned. Doesn't mean it wasn't a plot device of some kind, be it an intelligent virus strain in its own right, nanotechnology(or nano-tech presenting as a virus), or something else. :)

The overall progression still remained considerably faster than Motibate's initial version. It was supposed to cause more of an "exploratory" type of nudity/exposure among the victims for a few years before even getting to the point of compulsive nudity happening at night.

Not saying one version is better than the other, just that the one was notably different in a handful of ways from the one it was based on.

Although some others hasn't let that stop them or found a way around it, for example http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2271565/

Haha. Have to love the ingenuity of the Japanese when it comes to their hentai/live action pornography. I think it's nearly impossible to visit a concept in that field which they haven't already ventured into the general neighborhood of at least once.

There is actually novel series by John Ringo that follows a roughly similar virus. Its a rabies variant that effectively and permanently destroys all higher thought processes in something like 99% of its victims, at least those who survive the initial flu-like infection. It doesn't focus as much on the sex lives of the zombies, but some of the survivors mention how their only form of entertainment while trapped in their various shelters was live-action zombie snuff flicks, and one of the characters responsible for clearing areas will occasionally snark on the zombies who are smart enough to realize that she is a she, but not smart enough to realize she's wearing full on body armor.

I've been tempted to write a series of stories based off a similar plot line, but haven't managed to decide whether or not it would fall into a larger post-apocalyptic universe that's been cooking on the back burner.

I think that either in Cautron's stories or one that also had advanced nanotech that included some that enhanced themselves to "Captain America" levels. Others used it for radical modifications (mermaid or Centaur anyone?). One possibility when used on fetuses would be the formation of near identical twins if not for one being male and another one female. There was an extremely strong telepathic connection with their twin.

Caultron has Hermaprodite stuff as well, although that didn't seem to cross into his NIS-variant. Super-strong did turn up, don't know about "Captain America level" though. There are/were the "extreme mods" that were enabling people to carry their more furry-type desires(one of the characters had taken on rather equine traits for example).

In the NiS series itself, one of the MC brings up his brother/sister twin pair which at times seem to be almost telepathic, but not confirmed/denied, and seemed to be more a play on the whole "twin-speak" thing. He also further made an observation about the large number of twins likewise within their(his siblings) age group and younger.

I presumed that the twin thing was/is a "hook" for further/future development, but obviously nothing so far, and his production has been rather low (almost non-existent) since posting the Adam and Vivian NiS serials. He resurfaced briefly to add the (incomplete) "juicer" story then disappeared again.

As to outright Centaur/Mermaid changes, you might be thinking of "A Better World"
