I made a trailer for my current mystery story yesterday.
I like how it turned out!
I wish I had someone to bounce Perry Mason ideas off of. I was chatting a bit like that with Mae, as she popped up again, but she vanished just as quickly. And as before, I have no idea how to contact her.
I want to bring Andy into The Macabre Mansion. And, based on a dream I had the other night, I decided I wanted some hurt/comfort. I think I want him to be seriously hurt, to the point where they're not sure if he'll live, and it angers Tragg and the others and spurs them to work even harder to solve the mystery and bring the bad guys to justice.
But I'm not sure how I want Andy to be hurt. I think either he is fighting with a suspect and falls, or the creep shoots or stabs him. Sometimes I'm in the mood for bloody injuries and sometimes I'd rather just knock them out with a blow to the head (and if I want it serious, they can stay unconscious for a long while). I think as I'm typing, however, I'm leaning more towards the fall (or being pushed).
I know that in any case, I don't want that to be Andy's only role in the story. I want him to be investigating and learn important things before he's attacked. Then the plot is furthered and it doesn't look like I dropped Andy in randomly to get him hurt (or worse, that he can't do his job). He's a very capable policeman.
It's interesting; usually I have at least one person to bounce ideas off of in a fandom. But for Perry, I really don't know anyone familiar and interested enough with things that they would make a good sounding board (other than the ever-vanishing Mae, and maybe a couple of my readers). Hence, I've had to figure out the plots of the stories entirely on my own. I've unraveled every knot by myself. It's been so long since I've done that. It's kind of refreshing to know that I can still do it. But even so, I really like having someone to chat it up with about the show in general.
