Every story has what Alfred Hitchcock called "the Macguffin". For me that is the core idea that drives the plot, the characters, the tone and everything else. It is the moment when you ask yourself, "what if?"
That is exactly how it works for me. And the more unique the Macguffin, the more unique the story. So here are "just a few" of my own Macguffins:
- That a writer's spankable muse is a figment of his imagination
- The a secret agent might prevent an assassination by spanking the assassin
- That a young reporter would go undercover to get a story on a strict girl's school
- That a girl playing a spanking game with her friends has an unfair advantage – because she loves both winning and losing!
- A title – "Best Planned Lays"
- That a bored marriage counselor would re-engage with his work only when he learned of a client's spanking fantasy
- That a woman could be so gullible as to believe that spanking causes weight loss
- That the Duchess of York's real apology might have been "encouraged" by a royal disciplinarian
- That an annoying father-in-law who accidentally discovers a woman's spanking writings might share her predilection
- That a young man discovers a stripper is his best friend's little sister
- That a husband might coolly rebuff all his wife's attempts to get herself spanked, only to find his own trivial reason
- That in response to a girl's demand for a Mary Poppins-like nanny, a babysitter claims magical powers for her hairbrush
- That a woman's insistence that her husband straighten out a friend who has left her own husband might have unintended consequences
- That a boss might hire his dominatrix to be the office manager
- That a husband's deliberate mis-interpretation of "knotty" to be "naughty" leads to spanking fun
- That a boss and subordinate who are lovers might devise a performance evaluation and reward system that includes spanking
- That a young woman might deliberately lose a bet on a ping pong game to get a paddling
- That mixed up sensory signals might make a spanking "taste" like chocolate
- That a couple serially recruits young women for spanking and sex
- That a woman would take a spanking from a despised business associate and (rejected lover) in order to cover for a major mistake
- That a young boy is so infatuated with his babysitter that a spanking will not dissuade him
- That a local Santa Claus, having dealt with her "naughtiness," might have the power to get a young woman the engagement ring she wants for Christmas
- That an inept and overconfident agent for a quasi-governmental spanking agency might have the tables turned on her
- That a witnessed spanking in childhood would lead to another spanking on prom night
- That a soldier's best friend would give a much-needed spanking to the wife while the husband is overseas
- That potential buyers might try out a paddle for sale at a yard sale
- That a wife's attempt to boost her husband's business would generate some interesting calls when she misspells "Span King" as "Spanking" in an ad
- That the desire to spank or be spanked might spread like a virus, turning a "B" detective story into a "B" sci-fi story
- That couples might be induced to participate in public, on-camera spanking by the offer of cash
- That a dimwitted woman might accept spankings for both her daughter and herself, ordered by someone else from a traveling spanker-man, simply because they're paid for
- That the "spank me" panties found in a laundry room might result in a man spanking the woman in the apartment upstairs
- That a boss is so busy spanking his employees at work that his secretary must re-arrange his schedule so that he can give his wife her own regular spanking
- That a couple gives a spanking-and-sex show to their driver from the back seat of the limo
