And no, Its not a love story, lol.

Anywhom, The book follows the life of a man by the name of Francis Roman, who at kindergarten finds a paper in his pocket who says to squish a bug from his "Secret Admirer" and he does do so. And, He actually liked it but does not know why. Later on in his life, the Secret Admirer starts to send more sinister letters to him, and if he does not do so, bad things start happening to him every day he delays it. However, when he does do so, he seems to not want to stop. Soon, it gets in the way of his social life and he slowly becomes an outcast.

Does this sound good? I would love to hear your opinion.

So, it starts out innocently by having to squish a bug and then turns to be more sinister. And then it later consumes him. Nice! I think it'd be cool if you have the main character search for this "sinister secret admirer" in the process of them doing these things. And then maybe there should be like people who are worried about him when he becomes an "outcast" but they get hurt in the process of helping him.
Just some suggestions but you've definitely got a good start :)

Heh, I put all that in my story actually XD and I'm almost near the end of the basic draft. I think it's really good, with a ending with so much shock I think even Empire Strikes Back might have a hard time keeping up with it (And im not exaggerating much either.)

ok I think you should just write it for yourself and then share. Writeing is good and a story is a story.

So get a going and if you get stuck on a plot whatever let me know, but really I am not into weird sex stuff or that. Maybe you could have good stuff - like a note requesting he raises cash for a charity or good cause. or learns to play banjo and entertain kids or whatever but have some nice. this world needs it.

Nice! I think it makes it more thrilling and suspenseful. Well, that's a pretty brave comparison... But it could happen ;)
Now I'm enthralled. I wonder if the secret admirer will ever be revealed... or something else?

I can not say, Sadly. However, Im sure you will be quite surprised, and unnerved!

But, I'm going for the unnerving, creppypastaish feel. I will not say the exact pages, but I made it around 100-500 pages long. I'm glad people are liking it :D

Actually, I think that sounds quite interesting. I'd like to read it when you're done writing it (unless you're a total prick and want money for it). So if it's not too much trouble let me know when it's done.

Don't write for others. Write for yourself. I could never finish writing something because I'd always think about what others would want and not me. I'd just write it and see how it goes (:

Trust me, I hate those as much as you do. I'll post it on a downloading site like RapidShare or the sort. For free.

And I will gladly keep you updated.

Kinda reminds me of Heavy Rain. It sounds like it would be a good book, if not my type. Hope everything goes well!
