On turning stories "Fembot"

[dale coba]

I'm thinking, a large percent of all plots and stories suitable for adults could be modified to become fembot stories.

Not that they all should be. Some plots are too lousy to begin with, and others can't be easily changed to create anything worth keeping.

Many stories, with fembot themes added, will be silly or lame - but so is porn. Those fembotted stories have their place (and could be an art form with a dose of Mirage's magic, manic, mayhem added).

The worthy remaining candidates, plots which could make for "serious" fembot-erotica films, are no small number. Think of all the plots that were fed on by vampires. Some are mortal and die, drained of what made them alive. The other plots are transformed into twisted semblances of their former, naive selves.
Hooray for Twisted Semblances!

Enough with the vamps, back to the story+fembot potentials.

Challenge each other: Don't suggest a plot because you think it couldn't be reworked, but rather pick one you think would work, or might work (though you haven't figured it out yet). Sharing a discussion of this process could unlock the imaginations of many performers and producers.

Or here's a thought: take a vampire movie, and strip the vampire right out of the whole thing. Now you've got a structure needing new support beams, replacement jargon, rewiring and etc.; but with some guidelines and our innate sexual instincts, whole existing neighborhoods and boroughs of stories are full of prime candidates for a very special upgrade.

Nice idea for a topic - I'm curious what people will come up with!

To put something out there (even if is 'by-the-numbers')... how about "A Tale of Two Cities" where the Terror is being urged on by some naughty bots (essentially Madame Defarge and Revenge's characters) and our protagonist must expose them before his own trial / execution!

Or "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" Replace Toons with Bots (living in a segregated city), have a noir-ish detective hired to look into why Bots are disappearing... he ends up in "Bot Town" and.. stuff... happens?

[RoxxyRobofox]

The seedy Hollywood pitch man adjusts his garish tie and belches out a puff of smoke from his obnoxious stogie. "Okay, try to follow me on this one."

"...Reverse Terminator."

Seeing he's instantly drawn a look of disbelief he flails his arms like he's trying to stop himself from drowning and bloks the door out. "Hear me out! Hear me out."

So here's the premise. In the futuristic world of 1999, a society of robots desires to recreate their masters, the humans, whom have long been dead. They make a super AI (Let's go with GroundNet?) and put it in charge of the cloning facilities. However, Groundnet the AI decides she's going to be an insane killer rogue AI (for some reason, maybe she just gets bored of cultivating cells) and makes herself a terrifying human army to enslave the hapless machines. Robot society in general is not programmed to harm humans but one daring and brave leader rises up as she formulates a plan. That plan being that robots have generally endless endurance and are incredibly sexy, so they can just tempt humans into sex and exhaust them. This leads to a turnaround in the war efforts and Groundnet decides to get dangerous.

The insane killer rogue AI makes herself the ultimate human minutes before being taken offline. A human with amazing stamina and a libido that won't quit, and genetically engineered... ehm. Semen... that carries a kind of computer virus that can make the robots he fucks malfunction and short circuit. And then sends it into the past to exterminate the robot rebel leader!

...I'll just show myself out now.

Keep stirring the pot - I like the energies.

I should have made one more point about the most "serious" adaptations.
You've got to imagine down to the foundation, even if there's much more of the building fit to be kept.
Somewhere down there are underpinnings - unexamined assumptions, deeper statements, subtexts, etc.

"A Tale of Two Cities" - the real provocateurs had character, issues, psychopathology - so what deeper (maybe never made obvious) unites them, and is there a fembot-spin particularly appropriate? Who enabled the naughty bots, or what made them go bad? And why? (a parallel to the Ergot poisoning theory? Revenge for decades of Class warfare by the Royals?)

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" - Noir and bots have a framework already, to be steered into or averted. Blade Runner, and A.I. especially. Bob Hoskins has to get over the feelings he had about toons... so did Deckard. Villains have backstories, too. RR was drawing parallels from the Civil Rights struggle.

Reverse Terminator - slow down there, DarkRexx. The real Terminator franchise wasn't clusterfucked all in a day!
I loved Cameron, but I've got whiplash with all you've jumped over. So many chances to divert from the writers' choices, good and bad; or focus in on one incident. So much gender-identity-politics exploration, of Sarah Connor's values, her choices, and how those work out in the reality where Skynet has its values (and better weapons). What are robot-Sarahequivalent's values? Or those of Groundnet & human-Cameron? It could just be oppositty Bizarro World, or there could be explanations meant to resonate with some themes in the viewers' lives. And of course, the porn.

Ooh, twist! - the human or robot has been sent back - we assume to kill the A.I. or cloning project - but maybe he was told to reprogram/alter it, and he wants kill it. Terminator liked surprising us with Good-Arnie.

(I'd like to see the humans with some easy-to-make E.M.P. anti-electronics weapons... mostly 'cause I hope that gets invented in the real world.)

I'm going to be honest. I don't really care so much about exploring gender-identity-politics stuff or what the intent of the writer's choices was so much as I do about a story where a human from the future gets lost in a world of fembots and wrecks them all with sex. :U

The classic, Space Opera theme of man's future war against the implacable, alien menace. Perhaps with shades of 'Independence Day' or 'War of the Worlds'

Except the implacable, alien menace is an interstellar empire of pleasure-robots.

They were created by an alien, humanoid society - whom they served well. Very well. So well that the alien humanoids gradually turned over all decision making to the pleasure-bots. As they began to age, the robots placed them all in life-support VR-pods, locked in sensory ecstasy as the machinery sustains their lives long-past their normal lifespan.

But their creators are slowly dying off, regardless of the best life-support efforts. The pleasure-bots need a new source of intelligent, organic life to captivate - or their society will fall apart, and they will be without purpose.

Human society is full of inequality, poverty, struggle. The Pleasure-bots see it as a holy mission to rescue mankind from struggle. Human space is invaded by mechanical armies using paralytic, non-lethal weapons. Casualties are sealed in new Pleasure-Pods for the rest of their unnatural lives.

The Government is desperate: The enemy isn't some bug-eyed tentacle-monster; but legions of lingerie supermodels (possibly led by a Calvin Klein underwear model) promising total ecstasy to all those that surrender. How can you prosecute a war to defend yourself when most of your people don't even want to fight? But the government can't allow their population to be harvested for the amusement of an alien intelligence.

"A Tale of Two Cities" - the real provocateurs had character, issues, psychopathology - so what deeper (maybe never made obvious) unites them, and is there a fembot-spin particularly appropriate? Who enabled the naughty bots, or what made them go bad? And why? (a parallel to the Ergot poisoning theory? Revenge for decades of Class warfare by the Royals?)

My first thoughts was that they were playthings of the nobility and were later cast aside. To use a popular fembot trope, maybe Defarge was replaced by a bot whom she re-purposed as "Revenge"?

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" - Noir and bots have a framework already, to be steered into or averted. Blade Runner, and A.I. especially. Bob Hoskins has to get over the feelings he had about toons... so did Deckard. Villains have backstories, too. RR was drawing parallels from the Civil Rights struggle.

One thing to distinguish this from Bladerunner would be the idea that bots were commonplace and many were not humanoid (form following some menial function). I also like the idea that the ones who were human-like would have a somewhat artificial (cartoony?) appearance (maybe a technological limitation, maybe as part of some legal requirement). And naturally, our detective would have a grudge to get over. But as far as civil-rights... I'm kinda like Rexx in that I'm more looking for for a setting for robo-smut rather than to a way to explore weightier matters. The oppression / segregation aspect would certainly be present, but not the main thrust of the story. So to speak.

BTW, Rexx - I would read that story!

Cecil - I would love to see this done with a 50's sci-fi vibe with as much 'narrative theramin' as possible. Not to say you can't develop it however you like, just a thought

[RoxxyRobofox]

... but not the main thrust of the story. So to speak.

I see what you did there.

[DukeNukem 2417]

"The Big Lebowski"---just put Bunny Lebowski front and center (and up her age to at least 20), turn her into a fembot and have her leave the titular character because she's just plain bored with him. That way, the story could focus on her wanting something better for herself while the Dude, Walter and Donny do their thing in the background.

Any "zombie apocalypse" story---See my upcoming story, "The V.I.C.I. Diaries: Assembly Required", for more details on how to give that genre a dose of fembotty goodness.

I vote for "Krull."

[Cecilauthor]

Never seen Krull. Any good?

[daphne]

Absolutely terrible. You ever seen any Krull fanfic?

[Grendizer]

The original Krull has nostalgia value, but is just as horrible when not viewed with rose-colored glasses. The remake is just sad, because none of those movies really deserve to be remade -- or deserve to suffer a remake.

As has been stated before, space operas are fertile ground for this. Star Wars is halfway their as it is, in some respects. Maybe Gattaca as well, wherein instead of genetic engineering, all the human jobs have been taken over by androids, and Ethan Hawke is a human trying to make it in an android-dominated profession (you'd have to take out the attempt to hide his nature, since I don't see how that would work). In fact, any story dealing with social stratification or racial/tribal tension could work, like Jungle Fever (replace one race with androids).

Even Jurrasic Park could work, you'd just have to have all the characters over 18, multiply the park rangers, and make them all andriods.

I can even imagine an Indiana Jones-style story, with an android partner.

[Spaz]

I keep waiting for the Q Branch to give James Bond an android partner and/or bond girl. Fingers crossed.

Yeah. An android bond girl. That would be excellent. It might cramp his style though, since she'd be reporting back to HQ the whole time...
