A bit of a fishing expedition and a bit of a curiosity, as I get back into writing this genre of fiction I am wondering what things are not seen in the archive stories that people would like to see? Whether it's genre or style or character or setting or orientation, what have you never seen in an archive story that you would like to? For example, what sort of things from movies, television, and books would you like to see featured in archive fiction?
Please be general in your response, and also refrain from writing out a whole story that you'd like to see. Also don't list methods or types of castration/genital modification you want to see more of in the archive's fiction as this is really more to see about writing and story elements readers of the archive want to see in stories posted here.
The story idea is the use of a highly addictive pharmaceutical medication ordered by the court that slowly and painfully castrates "offenders".
The first pill is supervised by a nurse. Then, the convict is sent home. The pills are available over the counter and so no Rx is needed. The actual drug that slowly castrates is highly addictive - there is not a 2nd drug in the pill that makes it addictive.
Therefore, only taking the castration drug will curb the craving. The longer the convict waits the worse the withdrawal symptoms become.
It would be great to see the balancing act between the horrible pain the shrinking testicles are causing which makes the convict stop taking the medication and the ever-increasing desire and cravings the addictive nature of the drug is causing in the convict.
I don't know how a convict would suffer. Would he seek information on the Internet and look for support on forums and chat rooms? Or, would he just take the pills and suffer through the pain as his manhood slowly shrinks away?
I would be interested to find out how much the drug costs. Is it really cheap or does it almost bankrupt the convict? Would the price of the drug factor into the balancing act between suffering the painful shrinking and the withdrawal symptoms? I don't know.
Is the pharmaceutical company pushing the states to pass draconian laws that make even the slightest offense punishable by chemical castration with their product? I would wonder about that and find it interesting in the story to see how small a "crime" would be punishable with this drug. Would it only apply to rapists or would playing grabass in the shower in gym class get you sentenced to taking this drug? Would judges have any say so or would the sentence be mandatory? Both open up new plot twists.
Another question I'd like to see answered in the story is what happens once the convict is fully castrated? Does he have to take the medication forever because of how addicting it is?
One last thing I'd find interesting to know in the story is could someone buy the drug over the counter and put it in someone's food or vitamin pill sorter? If the drug was inexpensive, that might be rather common and make tons of money for the pharmaceutical company. Or, would the drug be expensive and someone would really have to hate their victim to pull such a prank on them? Maybe there would be a safeguard in place against such use? Further, could a person not convicted of a crime buy the drug and castrate themselves with the medication? Again, a good plot twist but, there might be safeguards in place against that as well.
With the drug being addictive and painful, it opens up all kinds of ways a convict could suffer.
I know that was lots of questions - but, I don't want to write the story, I just want to see how it unfolds.
