villainess killing guy or Female killing bad guy
I was reading through the stories section and this idea came to my mind. How about creating stories with pictures to go with it? If someone is writing a story they can choose pictures from a movie or an independent film to go with the story scenes so as to make it more interesting. If someone is in mood for a little role playing then they can have their girl friend or wife play the villainess or good girl part and the story writer man can play the guy getting killed. What do you all think?

Re: villainess killing guy or Female killing bad guy
I guess nobody will reject a decent story.
Pictures (screencaps, artwork, poser or whatever the author chooses) are a good way to spice it up.
I don't know if a roleplay really works. People can suggest a character, with a more or less detailed description and some pics. A writer may use them, hopefully in a way the person who brought the character in likes it.
So it may be typical fan fiction (continuing the story of am movie), or complete fantasy (without connection to the flick the character is taken from).
Are you writing stories?

Re: villainess killing guy or Female killing bad guy
I want to write a story but I don't have pictures to go with it and that is why I posed the question.

Re: villainess killing guy or Female killing bad guy
Taking pictures from a clip shouldn't be a problem, Windows Movie Maker can do, as well as most players.
Just a suggestion, since you are interested in a clip with Cynthia Rothrock killing a henchman:
http://com4.runboard.com/bevilbabes.f7.t29956
How about taking some pics from other movies, with henchmen getting beaten or killed. These are mixed with some of Cynthia, and a story is written around them.
Finally the bad guys hire the girl from the opening scene, who is still mad at Cynthia, as their secret weapon.
Will she avenge her defeat, or will Cynthia finish her for good?

Re: villainess killing guy or Female killing bad guy
I've got to admit that I've always thought photo-stories never quite have the same impact as either a text story or a video. Maybe there's something wrong with me  .
I guess as long as the images you have are consistent, then you can come up with something...

Re: villainess killing guy or Female killing bad guy
In a good story there are no pictures needed at all, they emerge in the readers head.
Characters are introduced one by one and it climaxes in a final showdown.
However, if the story only consists of the showdown, with very little foreplay, it's something different.
Reading a story, I wonder what will happen to a character. Will he or she win or loose, live or die, escape or get caught?
My sympathy often goes with minor characters, but usually there is not much place to describe them.
For example, if somebody would write a story about the raid of Sumuru's island (from "Million Eyes of Sumuru"):
There are dozens of uniformed female guards, and in words only you might read "a big blonde", "a black beauty", "a redhead with big tits", etc. The author can give them names, but that's about all.
Now the invaders observe the objects, and they will notice a guard here and a guard there. In a fetish story they might notice cup sizes and other things, but in an action story they will only care about weapons and routine.
So the author may spice the story up with pictures of each guard the invaders notice.
When the battle begins the reader will get curious what will happen to his favorite minion.

Re: villainess killing guy or Female killing bad guy
I've got to admit that I always find it more interesting to explore what's going on in the head of the character who's perpetrating the violence - simply to understand why they are following that path.
As the previous poster pointed out - the action takes place in your head, unless you're reading a comic book...here's a case in point - it's from a later part of How I Met Your Mother (the bit I posted in the humiliations section) & I tried to get across the character's viewpoint as she's going about a particularly grisly task.
The first person parts are her thoughts, the third person parts are her actions - ordinarily the first person bits are in italics...
***
It’s been awhile, but I can still do silent – and I like the dark.
Lurking in the bushes that ran along one side of the farmhouse, Leah watched and waited. Inno’s intelligence suggested no more than six men. Three of them seemed to be prowling around the exterior – one lagging behind the other two.
As he walked past the bush two hands reached out – one clamping across his mouth, the other grabbing his shoulder. By the time he had been dragged into the bush his companions were ten feet away – there was a dull snapping sound that neither of them took much notice of.
Tom once saw me in action in the field and told me that I had a green thumb for violence. I think he meant it as a complement – but I always thought it was more like a warning. All I know is that it stung like hell at the time. It still does. My daughter has a green thumb for roses.
Her feet were swift – Leah covers the ground from her hiding place to the two men in a few seconds. There’s just enough room between them for her to slip right by them. The shocked expressions on their faces are soon wiped out and both her hands flash out, striking with deadly force in knife-edge strikes, crushing their tracheas in a sudden burst of movement. Both men died within thirty seconds of each other, their brains starved of oxygen by Leah’s simultaneous attack.
Yes – I can fight and yes, I’m good at it. But the hurting – I never enjoyed that. I know others who do. If you’re gifted in a terrible discipline then every time you face someone, you face them in the knowledge that you can break bones. Displace their arms in their sockets. Blind them. Cripple them. Kill them when necessary.
No matter how joyous and loving a life I lead - it’s always there; the worm inside the apple. Shake hands with a new person and I instinctively take note of the nerve clusters and pressure points. Go out with friends for dinner and I know how easily I could take them out in less time than it takes to order the wine.
It took Leah a few minutes to drag the bodies out of sight. Less time than it took to kill them.
Make love to a man who you’d give your life for – who has demonstrated he would do the same for you in a truly grand manner - and seeing him so exposed – so vulnerable…
I’m sick of it.
Creeping into the house, careful not to alert anyone to her presence, Leah’s senses were at their peak. She had withdrawn the pistol from the makeshift holster on the side of the right leg of the jumpsuit – which was marginally too big for her – and swept through the ground floor of the building.
As Leah moved level with a closed door, she paused to listen. There was the sound of water running, coupled with a flushing noise. Pressing herself against the wall next to where the door would open, she waited. Her ears picked out the sound of the bolt sliding across, and then the door opened.
Leah’s leg swung up, striking the man in the stomach. As he doubled over from the strike Leah drove her fist into the back of his skull, just at the critical junction of the spine. He fell to the floor with a small grunt, his lifeless eyes looking out at the world.
You can’t compartmentalise a lifetime of learning where to place your fist to cause maximum damage just because you might be in polite company.
And when you’re fighting for your life all those practice runs want to come to play. There’s a part of me that’s like a sword – and sooner or later it wants to be unsheathed.
My training isn’t about restraint – it isn’t about remorse. I remind myself that every bone I break, every life I take here gives Inno’s granddaughter a better chance to see tomorrow. I can’t think of these men as human – not with what I have to do. I’ve become what I least wanted to be.
Can I forgive myself?
Dragging him back into the toilet – and almost retching at the smell – Leah finished sweeping around the ground floor. It was empty.
A green thumb for violence? Screw you Tom, I never wanted this. I have all I ever wanted at home.
Is that enough?
I have a man at home who I love more than anything and two children who are beautiful – a picture perfect family.
Can I walk away from this? Can I step back from the precipice, from a fall that is finite and complete?
They hadn’t even bothered to disguise the entrance to the cellar. Lifting it up, Leah advanced into the dimly lit room. She heard two voices – both speaking in Russian. As she reached the bottom of the stairs Leah noted that both men were looking at something on the table, their backs towards her. She then saw the frail figure of Irina in the corner of the room. There was a rope attached to her ankle that was secured to the wall and her hands were tied together in front of her.
The young girl’s eyes went wide – Leah put her finger to her lips to try to prevent her from screaming. The girl seemed to understand, whether by instinct or some sort of experience, that Leah wasn’t here to hurt her. Leah then gestured that she should cover her eyes with her hands.
Irina heard two sounds that were almost like someone coughing. The next thing she felt was a pair of hands untying the rope from her ankles and wrist. Irina looked up at the brown haired woman dressed in black from behind her hands. She smiled at her.
“Your grandfather sent me to collect you,” Leah said in Russian, remembering the phrase Inno had taught her in the car before she had left. “He’s waiting for you.” Irina offered no resistance to Leah as she picked the child up. She could feel the girl shaking in her arms as Leah left the farmhouse. By the time she had reached the car, the girl was clinging to her like a limpet.
Any doubts Leah had about her course of action that night were wiped away the moment she saw the expression on Inno’s face when she opened the passenger door with his granddaughter in her arms.

Re: villainess killing guy or Female killing bad guy
If I understand justincc's roleplaying idea right, he might describe what's going on in the head of one of the guards before and while Leah kills him.
Why not writing a story like this (in 3rd person perspective), with the thoughts of various characters (in italics)?

A "story" may be just 2 frames.... or more if I can fit the pics to a storyline. Anyway, the pictures inspire the story, not the other way around (unless you are making photos for this).
