Anyone have a copy of the Star-Trekish story? Sounds kind of good.

You might want to also ask about it over on the She-Hulk forum:

It might have been archived at Shadowlurker's SH website (defunct, but still up last time I looked several months ago – no, don't have the URL) or one of the SH Yahoo groups.  Only other thing I can remember about it was that (**I think** his nick was Mr Mergers) was looking for some writer to finish the story.

Sounds like a good idea. I have toyed with one of these for a wile but never got past a basic plot of female con on death row gets empowered with god like abilitys via a good evil balance of power (someone good gets the same powers and to equal out the balance of power someone of equal evil gets the same powers) and goes on a rampage got a basic shory story written out but at the moment its split into a begining where they get the power and then two storys of discovery the evil empowered woman been the goar fest…….this reminds me im gunna have to have another look at this one and see if i can take it any ferther!!!

That would make a good story, reminds me a bit of The Green Mile. 

So far my own tale of horror seems to be hevailly influenced by the Hellraiser movies, and H.P. Lovecraft, both of which i'm big fans, there's a bit of zombie gore in there too.  Right now, however, the story seems to be stuck in a loop that i might have a way out of, it might end up either really good, or really lame.  Don't know yet…

Lovecraft, Barker, i aint!!!

Those are good sources. But exactly how does your heroine tend to fight such horrors? Strength alone won't defeat supernatural horrors. What's her angle?

Some horror can be the result of everything going wrong. A general powerlessness of the protagonists and slow creeping dread.

Other types are almost like True Crime in their capacity to reveal the depths to which human selfishness and greed can go. Stephen King supposedly used to have a scrapbook of serial killer news stories not so much as inspiration but as a method to steer clear of the sociopaths. Some folks aren't wired for empathy and unless they're properly indoctrinated they tend to go haywire in society.

Yeah HP Lovecraft had a really keen sort of cosmic horror or "Weird Fiction" where the truly horrible element was just how insignifigant man was in an uncaring universe.

Don't know how that would translate into empowerment fantasies at any rate.

As odd as it may sound a lot of FMG fiction already is a little horrific. Except the resultant withering and reduction of the formerly healthy male and the sudden expansion of the lady is a turn on instead of a cue for gory special effects. 

Now gore has had it's time in the "Crunch and Munch" flavor of domination fiction. Not my bag of tea seeing folks ground as if they were in a car accident. Doesn't matter much to me that the source of said skull imploding forces are a woman's thighs or a drunk driver in a semi.  😐

The 'horror' you seem to be going for is sensationalistic and graphic shock value. The Clive Barker novel and initial film were so scary because it was mainly HUMAN passions that brought the dark angels to Earth. Some nitwit wanted the ultimate high of sensation so he found some key to hell and the rest is bad sequels.  👿

Then again SplatterHouse ranks amoung one of my favorite videogames just for the mindless zombie processing through violence.

Also are the Zombies going to be  monsters you can kill without pity OR the former firends and heighbors you once knew come back from a violent end hungry for your living flesh?

I really liked "Danger Biological Hazard" and there was a small hint of wriggle room afor a sequel as the mutant rat got out in the end. "More" indeed.

Hmm only suggestion is to try to figure out if you're tryint to scare yourself or others with the story. Make usure that all the apllicable warnings apply as well NSFW, some scenes may cause hemmoraging and nightmares etc etc.

Thats the main problem with horror… You may find something scary wilst someone else just finds it silly

One sceene i always remember that scared me (remember i was only young here) was in preditor when they were walking through the jungle and stumbled across half a dozen or so bodys hanging from a tree skined alive..that sent shivers down my spine when i first saw it….now of corse i just laugh

these days it takes a lot to scare me, barring a blonde secutary whos computer knowlage rates to that of a mouse been, given the wrong permissions and thus deleteing months worth of work so that she can "Save her new mp3 list" Im pritty unfazed by things

My angle for my prisoner on death row was she gets some sort of power and her been a real nasty serial killer goes on a mad rampage starting with the entire prison block before leaveing the prison and spreding out like a nucler fall out just killing any thing and any one who she passes leaving a trail of dismembered bodys

I think the issue is that, for a lot of people – FMG is something with at least some erotic quality.

I can't speak for others but nothing turns me off faster than blood everywhere. For starters, it's just a pain to get out the sheets.

Glad you liked it.  😀  I never did do a sequel though plot lines started in that story carry over and influence developments in the sequel to the Necklace.  I think I actually posted a handful of chapters to the Necklace 2 at one point before I left the GTS/FMG community.  At least I know they were on my site before geocities pulled it down.  One of these days I really need to finish that story.

I still plan on retouching "Danger" and reposting it here for the benefit of those who weren't in the scene back in the day.  Havine the time to make good on my plans is another thing entirely.  😡
