Letter 56 Part B Background


        Part B  The Stories.
                                                                        Posted by Anne.
Hi, Anne here.
        Last week Shandra told you how the Story Night started as a short letter but evolved into two letters. The first one became the story “Crocodile Hunter.” The second one retained the name “Story Night” but was later cut into three sections for posting on this blog/site. This week I want to tell you where the idea came from and the purpose of this letter.
        First the idea of having a story night. Back in Letter 45 when Mike and Shanti arrived in India they had an evening where the letters book and the photo albums were shown to their Indian friends. The purpose of this first story was to launch the Indian Trip into some sexy adventures almost from the start. While I suggested this story, I wasn’t actually involved in writing much of it.
        So since there has always been keen competition between Shandra and me, it was only natural that I wanted to have a go at a similar story. Originally this was going to be Letter 52 where the albums were shown to the New Zealand couples but this didn’t turn out like that as we finally decided just to mention that they had seen the albums.
         So when I suggested that we do a Story Night the other girls were against it. They said it would just turn out a copy of the earlier story. But I told them I wanted to have an evening where each person gets to select their favourite story and Shanti or Joseph would tell them about it. They were still not too keen but they agreed to me having a go and see where it went.
        Once I got started the idea sort of took off. Soon both Susan and Shandra became involved with the writing. Allan then revised much of the conversation and made a few other improvements. Finally, more recently Ayaka and Kim had a go at some scenes as well. Rajah did some work too. Yes, I know what you are saying:- “Another joint venture.” And of course, you are right.
        There is another purpose for this story as well. The story provides extra material to develop the characters that will be playing major roles in the Dominoes stories. It also gives us some interesting insights into some of these earlier stories as well. 

         Now about the story itself. Amita launches the game by asking about Letter 17 The Secret Watcher at the Beach. During this conversation, they get Shanti to admit that she did actually enjoy putting on a show for that guy up on the cliff.
       Then we come to Peter asking about the Sex at the Christmas Tree Farm inLetter 43. Perhaps the highlight of this section is that exchange between Peter and Lizamoa when Liz jumps up to defend Mike and Shanti against his teasing. Originally this was just a couple of sentences until our new writer team got involved.
        They turned the conversation into a more heated exchange where Lizamoa really goes for Peter for suggesting that Mike was in any way using Shanti. Peter is a bit shocked at this and tries to back out of what he said but Liz is having none of that as she is still going for him. Finally, Joseph steps in and calms her down. I like this because I think it develops and brings out a new side to Lizamoa’s personality which we haven’t seen much of up until this point.  Good work Ayaka and Kim.

           Well, the stories continued with each person selecting a story. When it came to the ice cream story we suddenly discover why Mike was taken away by Amita. They need someone to show them how to roll an ice cream ball. The ice cream story also took things to a new level because from then on they began acting out parts of the stories. Like for example Lizamoa showing them what she was doing beside the lake in a very hot scene.
           This section ends with a short conversation which introduces someone who is to become an important character in the Letters Series. We discover that the watcher from the lake in Letter 14  “The NudePhotography Session by the Lake” is a man called Mootie whom Joseph had actually hired to work in the Game Reserve. Then Lizamoa was shocked to learn that she had actually seen him that very day and Mike and Shanti had been talking to him.

          Next week we get the third and final section of this story. You do not want to miss what happens when Sarvesh asked about the Wet T-shirt contest.
