Originally I had planned to write a story to 'poke fun' at the genre, kinda like Scary Movie. However, I got stuck midway, and decided to go the old-fashioned way, but forgot to change the typically-cliche-two-couples into something different.
The character of Bugman was already in my mind on day one of the contest. Maybe that explains why he is the least boring of the bunch. (I, myself, like his character). I agree that the two couples are rather bland and boring.
Everything until the 'slashing' was done in the first two-three days. I then got seriously stuck about the ending. Couldn't come up with anything, except for a beehive. I figured let's keep it in the bug world then. But yeah, not a good ending.
Again, I want to thank everybody for their words and criticism. I have learned a lot from all this.
P.S. Sorry for the late response here. Was caught up in nasty RL affairs.
The Bugman is an excellent character, he has genuine potential. As I said in my very brief review, I'd like to see more of his motivation and his history.
There could be a lot of depth in his desire to record different species and his desire to control life.
He's definitely a character that you should work on and find a better story for.
