I suppose you have a point there, sort of. It's just a bit of a taboo subject, that's all. As for the story, it didn't actually start out as an incest plot. Our society president found a bottle on a beach a while ago, and when she opened it there were two wax figures inside bound in cloth. Usually on British beaches all we have is seaweed and rubbish anyway, but this really creeped her out. We were using this as the basis for the idea, then someone came up with another, where the three characters in the story find this bottle, and the story is about the mystery of these wax figures. Then someone suggested family, so we decided that the story should go like this:ElephantGuts said:Trivun said:Actually, with regards to the cousin thing, I actually had a crush on my cousin too. However, we were about 8 at the time, and she's my second cousin so it's slightly more acceptable, and I haven't seen her for about 6 years anyway. Actually, I just realised that it's kind of ironic, since at my university I'm part of a film-making society, and for our first short film of the year we've come up with a ten minute story involving a girl who has sex with her cousin (off screen), it deals with the aftermath. I didn't come up with the story either, so it's pretty coincidental, don't you think?
Yes, I suppose it is somewhat coincidental. What happens in your story? Because for the record I don't think having sex with your cousin is that bad, as long as no one finds out about it and you don't marry them and have kids or anything. You know what they say, "Incest is best." I find that saying hilarious. I tried to put it as my motto on my xbox gamertag, but apparently it finds "incest" innapropriate. What sick f*ck at Microsoft thought of adding incest to the list of bad words when they were making it?
This girl, around 20-22 years old, lives in some random Northern UK town with her younger brother, and their cousin comes to visit. The cousin had sex with the girl last time he was visiting and no-one knows, but the brother keeps hinting that he found out somehow, and there's a lot of tension in the group. Then they find the bottle with the two wax figures inside, and this represents a sort of symbolic look at the relationship between the girl and her cousin. That's about as far as we've got so far, we still need to work on the actual script.
