I was thinking that there could be a thread for story ideas. Someone could post them (like I'm about to) and get feedback on them / some additional ideas.
Of couse there's the gentlemen/woman's agreement that nobody takes any ideas here unless the author specifically disowns them. Anyways, here's the innagural idea: Random guy, ladies man, is going out with four girls at once, without any of them knowing about the other, seemingly. One day, out of the blue, two G-Men show up at his house, and start roughing him around. They accuse him of various espianoge/terrorism stuff and tell him to get his shit together or they'll come back. This is where it's gets kind of fuzzy, and I don't really have a lot going, but he's going to be trying to balance dating these women with being super paranoid, and trying to not attract the attention of the law (even though he hasn't done anything). One of the women (who's in theatre, and is an aspiring actor) will have an uncanny ability to show up right before or right after the Feds, and press him awkwardly about the whole situation. Eventually it'll be revealed, through some type of misstep on the "G-Men's" part that they're actually actors, friends of the Theatre Woman, who knew about the other girls and wanted to get back at him. If you think I might finish this, and you'll want to read it, stop here. Spoiler: In the climax/conclusion, the fake G-Men will show up once again, but of course the Main Character knows that they're not real. The Fake G-Men will draw guns, and through a mix up with props, they'll shoot him with real bullets...and that's all I got. |

I think if they wanted to know about the woman who mysteriously has uncanny timing, they would look for her. You can assume, as the reader, that she is involved, but because it's not mentioned to be fact then it keeps the reader guessing. It is, although, somewhat corny
Perhaps these women are all connected somehow, through activities or work or friend of a friend, and through the novel they see glimpses of how their paths connect through those places. Then, for a grand finale, they all leave the guy for different reasons, and eventually meet up through coincidence afterwards. Or maybe they all find out he's dating all four of them, and pull a trick on him (Hello, my name is John Tucker Must Die ) to embarrass him. |

Yea, there's no problem with this...in fact I encouraged it when this forum started.

Sorry, must have missed that part.
Rom: I'm not sure what you mean really. What I meant was that the theatre woman would show up innocently enough right after or before the G-Men they that she hired, which are actors as well. |
