Anne here.
This is the third Ripper Stripper Party we have featured in this blog. The first two parties can be found in Letter 23 and in Letter 36. You might want to check these out if you haven’t seen them already. Now this story is supposed to have been written by Amita so we allowed some bad grammar and very simple English to slip in. This was to reflect the writing of someone who is not as experienced at writing in English. There are a few sentences that just don’t make sense, but we intended them like that. It’s part of what we were trying to achieve here.
As both Amita and Hansini had expressed an interest in taking part in a Ripper Stripper Party it seemed like we needed to provide one for them. Our problem here was we were in danger of repeating ourselves for yet a third time, so we had to make this one different. Having the visitors from India was a help because it gave us new names to play with, but we knew we still needed to come up with something new.
We decided to take Mike and Shanti out of the contests and get them to perform a special feature strip dance together. They have done a joint strip a few times now so it must be assumed they knew what they are doing. To use them for a special act sort of made sense so this became to final act before the ‘Anything Goes Contest.’
We then decided on using Lizamoa for a special act too. She is good at Indian dancing so her strips from an Indian sari have always worked well. Then Ayaka came up with a new idea. She suggested that Lizamoa and Katrina perform together. Some of the writer’s team struggled with that one for a while until finally, we decided to run with that.
Taking the regulars out of the contests made way for others to get in and have fun. This is sort of how it went too.
In the days before publishing, Susan gave this story a major make-over. Many scenes were re-written or improved and more scenes like in this section, the bedroom scene with Amita and Sarvesh, were added. The story has grown so big now that we have decided to divide it into three parts.
