Asexual Biped Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 I'm going to credit my Ethics class for this idea. Here it goes: The idea is to write a story (one-shot, short story, novel length, etc.) that uses characters to "solve" an ethical dilemma. An example of an ethical problem would be abortion or homosexuality(DO NOT choose something like this please; I don't want a war to evolve from this idea. It's also equivalent to the saying "beating a dead horse"). There are several out there, just Googling it will find you several. You can set it up anyway you want. The only criteria is that it contains an ethical dilemma that is, in a sense, "solved" through the interaction of your characters. it doesn't have to be a perfect solution, just one that is logical and makes sense. I wish you luck if you decide to take this offer! Quote
Keith Inc. Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 Well, damn. I just wrote one about abortion... What sort of moral dilemas do you think ARE appropriate? Quote
Asexual Biped Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Posted November 2, 2010 Well, abortion and the more controversial issues are fine to write about. I just didn't want someone to do something like, "Abortion is wrong because God said so!" or something like that and create a war over a challenge-plot. I was thinking that the story should be logically thought out and have actual (not to bash religious people) reasons for why the issue is either "right" or "wrong" If you have one on abortion and it's well-done, then that works great! Sorry about the way I worded it. Quote
Keith Inc. Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 I dunno how 'well done....' Star Trek: Next Gen on Crack, a story between the Naked Now and whatever the next episode was http://tv.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095532 Quote

Keith Inc. Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 It wasn't quite what I meant, but I think you did a good job. Well, thank you. But what are you after? Something, a hook to hang the story on... Quote
Asexual Biped Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Posted November 3, 2010 Well, thank you. But what are you after? Something, a hook to hang the story on... I think I was more going for a dramafic, in the sense of it being more serious and real-to-life. As for a moral dilemma, you could Google some, but almost anything can be a moral dilemma even though it's accepted as 'normal' Hell, in the class that brought this challenge to mind, spanking a child is now a moral dilemma! I think it's really what you view as moral. (If that didn't answer your question, I apologize. I probably have misunderstood what you were asking.) Quote
cowgirl65 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Does fall in love with a guy then find out he's your half brother and wonder 'what the hell do we do now?' count as an ethical dilemma? (it is an AU fanfic, just in case you're not interested in that type) http://tv.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095477 Quote

Keith Inc. Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 I think this might be more of what you're looking for? http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600103216 Quote
