Writing a Haunted House Story.

So I posted this on inflatechan, but that doesn't seem to be the best place to ask for feedback. Maybe I'll have better luck here?

 

As I said on inflatechan, I've been wanting to write an expansion story for years, but now I want to do so even more because of the lack of quality content lately. For a while now, I've had a project in mind that's been given some thought every now and then, but not quite enough effort to post anything yet. 

 

Without giving away too many details (there's going to be some backstory here), the premise is, there's a ghost inhabiting the mansion he owned in life, with a penchant for blowing girls up until they burst. Now that last bit may or may not be your thing, period, I get that. But with my preferences, and the desire to provide something that all inflation lovers can enjoy, the popping will be very mild and in some cases, possibly even cut short. 

 

While there is an actual story to it, I've envisioned it to be a mash-up of many kinds of horror tropes and inflation types, so I'd like to stuff as much content as I can into this. I've come up with plenty of chapters on my own, but while I'd like to add more, I've kind of hit a brick wall. I'm trying to avoid scenarios that sound too similar, both in terms of the inflation type and the methods. 

 

So this is where you, the reader(s), come in! While I'm in the process of working on the first chapter (I already have that and a few related chapters set up as a proper introduction), is there anything you might like to see? 

 

Without ruining too much of the surprise, the types of methods I'm looking for include: 

 

*Experiments - The ghost here has quite a bit of scientific work under his belt, allowing him to leave various concoctions around the house, as well as bringing victims to his lab. 

(Examples: Force-feeding a victim a large amount of marshmallow before exposing her to a large heat lamp / leaving a special kind of body wash in the bathroom.) 

 

*Creatures - In some cases, tying into the Experiments category, the ghost has something of a twisted zoo in his lab, featuring all sorts of creatures that just so happen to love blowing girls up, whether they're ones he's discovered or ones he's created. They can range from deceptively cute to nightmarishly horrible. NOTE that this category is the most lacking, so any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated. 

(Examples: Seemingly happy blobs full of fruity goo that wish to feed others / the victim of a horrible zombie virus that causes those infected to uncontrollably swell with slime.) 

 

*Ghostly Tricks/Curses - Of course, being a ghost, he also has the ability to bend reality to his will (with certain limitations of course) and having studied a bit of magic (which is the reason he's still "living" in his home), he has all sorts of enchanted items around his house. 

(Examples: Finding a necklace with a jewel that holds the spirit of constantly-eating gluttony demon / Drinking a milkshake that seems to be quite literally bottomless) 

 

*Dreams - Yes, I could have featured this with the tricks and curses, but there's a reason these are separate, I just don't want to spoil the surprise. These are pretty much an homage to Nightmare on Elm Street; whatever happens to a girl in a dream, happens to her for real. Quite possibly, my favorite method~ 

(Examples: Getting stung by a bee and filling with honey / Eating at a restaurant and being stuffed with everyone else's food.) 

 

There are a few other rules I'd like to mention: 

1) I'm only- I mean, the ghost is only interested in ladies, so his victims are exclusively female. 

2) I'm not a fan of air inflation (I just think it's too boring!) but if enough people suggest something of the sort, I'll be happy to feature it in some way. 

3) I won't mind repeating certain types of inflation, just as long as the method is somewhat different, so don't be afraid to suggest more of the same in that case~ 

 

Whenever I post this, I'll be sure to post it here as well as on my deviantart (myotherusername). And remember, if you suggest an idea, you'll be credited in the author's comments. Let me know what you guys think!

Okay, CattyN left community decade go, but still, I am with both hands for this advice. Follow it - and you'll do a great series.

I already have a basic story idea in place. I know what I want to do with it. All I asked for was scenario ideas. I didn't ask for input on the ghost's "power level," I didn't ask for ideas for a world powered by blueberry juice. I asked for simple ideas for a simple inflation story, where a ghost has an expansion fetish. That's it.
