Something I recommend you do, that might be helpful, before dismissing an idea, find someone to bounce it off of first. That's kind of what you are doing here, but you are being too hard on yourself. Everyone has ideas that are hit and miss, and it kind of reminds me of a quote from Thomas Edison, paraphrased since I cannot remember the exact one. When asked about failing multiple times before succeeding with his light bulb, he responded along the lines of I did not fail 99 times, but discovered 99 ways not to build a light bulb.

Really what I am trying to say is, just because the first attempt at an idea did not work the way you wanted, do not dismiss it as bad. With this idea now, it has potential, but it is too skeletal to really know for certain. It needs more to determine how it would work. If you are hesitant to go too much further in depth with the character, because you think it will be a "bad idea" and you want to work on it still, you can hit me via e-mail and you can run it by me. Of course, my ability to respond will be severely hampered over the next two weeks, but you can still try.

If you do want to use me to further work out this idea or others, my e-mail is border name without brackets at Google. And that actually goes for anyone else interested in hashing out further ideas. I spent about two years in various workshops, so I would be happen to listen to any ideas and provide input.

...just badly implemented ones.

So, according to that Monster Girl Encyclopedia, the whole reason for a kraken's existence is to kidnap male humans and basically hold them prisoner, raping them for the rest of the man's life. Gulp! Now that could cause a lot of juicy, interesting conflict, especially considering the PPC's official policy on rape as something agents just plain aren't supposed to do.

So maybe Medical and FicPsych have got Stephanie permanently pumped full of libido-suppressing drugs, but there are still going to be a lot of males who won't feel comfortable near her just in case the drugs wear off. And some straight women will hate her just in case the drugs wear off and she rapes their boyfriend/husband/slave/whatever.

Build the story around that conflict, and it might work.

I don't see anything bad about the idea you have right now, other than the fact that it's very small. Here's my suggestion: flesh Stephanie out some more. Give her a personality, a life, some quirks, some hobbies, and some flaws. Think of a character arc for her, with ways for her to grow. Then, I suggest a test drive. Try one of the 46 (I believe) Permission Prompts-- select one at random or just pick one. Take Stephanie out for a whirl and see how you like her.

You say that 90% of your ideas are bad, but I disagree. I think you're second guessing yourself too much. You said you cut off a thought immediately, because you thought it might be bad, and you're extremely uncertain about it at a very early stage. The thing is, right now you only have a tiny idea, like a little seedling. You can't know what it will grow to be, but you're already worried about it. So that's my advice-- nurture the seed a little. Let it grow up enough to see what it's really like, and then make a careful, thoughtful judgement on what you want to do.

And here's another little piece of advice, one I'm still struggling to adhere to myself. Don't throw away your ideas: write them down. Keep a little folder on your computer for the ideas you have. Jot them down whenever you have them, then look at them every so often. Even if you don't think they'll work now, later on down the road you might like them.

Keep your chin up, Voyd-- I like your writing, and a few bad ideas aren't always... well, bad. They teach you what will work, and what won't. And because you've been open about your problem (which isn't the easiest to do) we can help you.

Remember: "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

If you are asking what to do with the character, here's what comes to mind for me. Even if you create a character you are uncertain about, at least give some more depth to the character. It certainly will not hurt.
