Practice #17 - Getting out of you box

[ELMontague]

Alright everyone,

Taken from the different ideas in the great ideas thread, let's make this week a bit of a challenge. Everyone write short piece with the following elements.
A couple meet for the very first time (M/f, M/m, F/f, etc...) just that it's 2 people.
They are in a tax audit.
One of them has something for feet.Write it first in genre A then rewrite it in genre B. For example, written first as a paranormal then rewritten as chic-lit.

[ELMontague]

forgive the apostrophe in the poll please.

You mean a fetish for feet?

[ELMontague]

I mean a foot fetish.

I don't really understand the romance one. We're writing erotica, isn't it all romance?

[ELMontague]

Erotica does not have to be romantic. The idea of the practice is to write the same scene in two styles. Hopefully, it will force/help you to see it from a different angle and grow as a writer.

But, if it helps, think Bodice Ripper vs. Star Wars

[ELMontague]

It looks like a tie this morning.

[SFLP]

I'm trying to picture a tax audit western erotica story. lol.

(For that matter, I'm trying to picture myself writing a western...it's one of the few genres, erotic or non-erotic, that I won't read.)

[ELMontague]

We are running a tie. Someone will need to break it.

[ELMontague]

Well folks, we all get to write a story about two people in a tax audit, one of which has a thing for feet, in both contemporary and fantasy settings. Remember, the exercise is same story different styles.

I'm not sure how the story could be the same in both genres, but the plot points could be the same.
