I love it when it snows...

...But only because I don't have to go out in it. Only, today I did, and it was a blizzard. Seriously. Took me half an hour to dig my car out so I could do what I needed to do. In a sharp wind that sent the snow sideways. Drove 5 miles an hour on snow-packed streets with other idiots out in it. And it's still snowing, out there.

But now I'm back in my cozy, warm apartment sipping hot tea and thinking about how to deal with new ideas for Taking Nicky. Suggestions made by the characters, for me to choose from.

Does Rett overpower Nicky, tie him up, take him to an isolated spot and rape him? It's what he wants to do but can't figure out how without eventually having to kill the guy to keep himself from being found out. And that's too stupid for him to do.

Does Rett find a way to drug Nicky and use him and record it, then use the recording to protect himself? You say anything and this is broadcast all over the world on YouTube. Not very reliable as a defense.

Does it turn out Nicky liked being forced into sex with Rett and now won't let him go? I've seen other stories like that, though, so not so sure it would work here.

Do Rett's buddies...Vance, Ben and Liam...find a way to become part of the assault on Nicky? Like find video he recorded years ago during a revenge rape. Not sure how to handle that.

Is Rett the one really being set up? He goes after Nicky but it's him who is wanted as the rape victim. Maybe as the eventual slave of an oligarch. Nicky's in on it with Vance, to help fund a movie? That's closer to fantasyland, but...

Decisions...decisions...
