Working on Trapped I came accross several questions that I need help
answering.
One problem concerning lemon content. I want the series to be read by
almost everybody, but some parts (particularly chapter 1) may be too
lemony for some readers. Also sexual references will occur during the
series, and I would like to know what are some people's oppinions on this.
How far would be to far. Should I make 3 versions, a G or PG rated
version, PG-13 rated, and R rated version.
i'm not a big fan of lemons, but sexual innuendos? one of my favorite
passtimes... remember Hentai can be fun!
Script vs Prose: The final version of Trapped will most likely end up a
combination of both. Most of the series will be in prose, but with scenes
with excessive dialoge (particular when concerned with more than two
people) will be in script form. An example would be with Chapter 3 where
scenes like the breakfast or Ranma greating people at the gate might be
easier to follow in script. I'll write two versions of one of the chapters
in the combined format and the other in prose format and see what the
prereaders think. I'll take C&C on this now though.
either way i don't care... i'm one of those people (if you've read my writing
you'd know) who doesn't get by either way.. i work in ideas and concepts,
one of the reasons it's so hard for me to write anything worthwhile. So either
way, just as long as you get you point across.. although i suspect most people
like prose form, as they seem to get the most C&C. I agree with you on the
script for mass meetings.. i much prefer reading it that way.. but it's hard
to juggle between prose and script (at least it is for me) so do what you
think best and at least know there's one person who doesn't care either way
One last thing, a realized I missed a couple important scenes in Chapter
4. Particular the throwing of the bridal bouquet and garter. As I plan on
this scene being a foreshadowing of future events, I would like to know
want people's thoughts are about this. So I'll leave it to a vote:
Who should get the bouquet:
Kasumi
Akari
Shampoo (she'll really hate it when she finds out its significance.)
Ukyou (you better also suggest to whom, and how she might get to that
point.)
Nabiki
Kodachi
other
hmmm.... i like the idea of gettin shampoo REALLY pissed... but it
just doesn't make up to a good story (anything with a lot of Shampoo
rarely does...she's evil..pure and simple... i don't know who i hate
more, her or kodachi..that tell you anything?)personally i'd vote
for Nabiki, her being the least likely of the group to get married
(other than kodachi)anytime soon(without a new character:) ), but also
the one who would most appreciate it methinks..
Who should get the garter:
Ryoga
Mousse (Shamps would not be happy about this either)
Dr Tofu (I have an interesting scene in mind if I go with him).
Kuno
other
Ryouga.. no one else... the shade of red he'd go is something i wish
i could see...also alludes to him and nabiki (one of my fav matchups
even if i don't think it worx), and that should get his mind going.
I of course have the deciding vote over who wins, but I'm curious to see
who wins this vote.
as long as you make the right choice :)
