What would be your ideal quicksand scene/fantasy/situation?
Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2010 1:44 pm
I don't know whether this has been asked before (please point me in the right direction if it has!) but what would be the ideal quicksand scene/fantasy/situation for readers, if they could have their ideal?
The kind of thing I'm thinking about is: would it involve you sinking, or somebody else; male or female (if somebody else); does the person who is sinking go under or get out before then; do they escape on their own or does somebody help them out? What other factors would readers like to see?
Hope nobody minds that I've posted the question, but I thought that as this is a quiet time for quicksand-lovers (especially in the northern hemisphere!) it mght be interesting as a discussion.
