secret_life8 wrote:hey everyone. so i was thinking about a plot for our new writing game. we have done a lot of love story games and they all tend to end similarly. would you guys be interested in writing about something more like self-injury, teen pregnancy, depression, or suicide? it's just a thought. let me know what you think.
another idea i had was what if the story was a narration of more than one character and it talked about their stories and their problems.

Main Character 1 (Boy)- This character has suffered from major depression for eighteen months. He is withdrawn from all his friends and has lost interest in all of his extra activities. We would begin writing about his depression and how unstable he feels. Having no way to cope with the pain of his depression, he turns to self-injury. this is just a rough outline that will strech for a long period of time.

Main Character 2 (Boy)- This character suffers from anorexia nervosa. He feels insecure, and has low self-esteem. He becomes obsessed with food, calories, and exercising. No one notices as he slowly loses weight. However, he never thinks that he is thin enough, even though he can see his ribs. One thing that we would have to portray in writing his story is that anorexia nervosa has nothing to do with food, and it a mental disorder.

Main Character 3 (Girl)- This character was raped three months before the beginning of the story and she is suffering depression. She also has to struggle with the knowledge that it was her brother who raped her, and she sees him ever day. This character can not go on with the oain that she feels every day because of her rape and attempts suicide. Her attempt is unsuccessful and she hates herself even more because she thinks that she fails at everything, even killing herself. She is admitted into a clinic where she tries, unsuccessfully, to commit suicide again.

Main Character 4 (Girl)- This character had a one night stand with this guy and discovers that she is pregnant. Terrified of having people find out, she keeps it a secret. When everyone finds out, she feels that her world is crashing down. However, she goes through the pregnancy unsure whether she will keep the child or give the baby away for adoption (which is what she is leaning towards). However, the guy find out and is a really big jerk and won't sign the paper saying that the child can be adopted. So the mother must go to court to gain full custody of her child before giving her child up for adoption.

what do you guys think of those characters? We still have names to think of and stuff like that, but just the flow of their stories.
