I've seen like three "YCH story" ads now. None of them seem to have any actual story written. Like... the point of a YCH art deal is that you know what you'll be getting ahead of time, you've seen the image sketched out, you know what it'll look like, just color it like your character or whatever and ta-da.

For this to be equivalent in writing, the author would have to "sketch" a story in some way. I have no idea how that would actually work. I mean I guess the equivalent is a detailed outline, but that really doesn't convey what the story will be like in the same way a sketch conveys what a picture will be like.

But I really don't know how you'd write a mostly-finished story with a fill-in-the-blank character and not have it be pretty shit either.

Although the voice of madness in the back of my head insists that it's probably possible and I could probably do it if I really tried. Shut up, crazy muse, I have enough writing as it is, and nobody's going to pay me big bucks to put their character into a generic fetish story. Especially not when they could just pay me to write a non-generic fetish story.
