Story Character Lover

That's very true at times. I find myself trying to think of something different with each story besides the usual take her/him over the knee thing. Spanking is all the same no matter the orientation or the position. It's like porno flicks. The sex is sex no matter what position. It's the story line that interests me. The plot/scenario prior to the punishment. But I digress here. Sorry. I guess for me it's the story line and the lady involved be she a spankee or spanker. What she looks like and the dialogue used to show her personality.

Like an old bugger in a bar chatting up a woman half his age:

"Where have you been all my life, darling?"

"Well, for the first half of it, I wasn't even born yet!"

I agree. Most are built around my fantasies but it is just that. A fantasy!

The old ones are definitely the best! Along with "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?" to which her reply is usually something unrepeatable.

My personal favourite failed pick up was in an episode of Alas Smith and Jones. Mel Smith goes up to this very attractive woman at a party and says 'Hi, I'm Mel and you are?'
The hacked off reply comes: 'Eating crisps.'
Undeterred Mel tries again: 'So what are you doing after?'
'Picking my teeth!'
God, they and the rest of the Not the Nine O'Clock News crew were brilliant in their day.

Or, as the orthopaedic surgeon said to the arthritic knee he found in an attractive female patient, "What's a crummy joint like you doing in a lovely girl like this?"

Not in a spanking story, but there are characters from other fiction that I've been rather stricken with. Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, for instance. At least, up until I read the awful sequels. Ender Wiggin from Ender's Game also stuck with me.

If I had to pick characters from the LSF, I really liked Peri from "The Road Less Traveled" by Iconoclast, and nearly all of jools' spunky heroines. I also remember someone wrote a story involving a talking rat who really needs to star in his own Pixar movie.

Of my own characters, my proudest creation thus far is Jill, from "Paddling Team." She's partly a pastiche of several peppy, athletic girls I knew in high school and college, but with some strange quirks thrown in and totally adjusted to the bizarre, spank-happy world she lives in. She's a plausible character who is the product of an implausible setting.

Not fallen in love with, but I love the feisty female central character in Dr Keate's Edgar-Allen-Poe-like entry in the last Story Challenge ("Haunted and Spanked"). The main characters of flopsy's stories almost always seem real and attractive.

Of the characters I've created, I definitely have a soft spot for DC Aashi Bhatt of Silver, Blaise and The Sign of the Broken Cane, as she has a soft and large spot for so many men and women. Story Challenges encourage a bit more subtelty of character-creation in me, so other characters I see almost as real and feel affection for include both main characters of "The Major", the old Polish landowner of "A Visit to Uncle Cyprian" and both the naive young German girl and the image-conscious restauranteur of "The Future of the Panama".
