anonymous userParticipantSeveral stories I have read recently mentioned requests for story ideas so I thought I’d share some one-shot ideas I have abandoned.
A story about a cosmology student who has their long blonde hair cut off forcibly by there instructor before getting a job at the instructors salon where she forces her to keep it short.
A long hair obsessed fashion journalist who is behind modern trends and there editor forces them to get a short haircut and write about how much she regrets not going short earlier. All the time she hates it and misses her long hair.
Someone who originally discovered their a lesbian when they developed a crush on the young barberette at the small town there from. They come back to visit after university to visit there grandparents and pay the barberette a visit.
After a few years of bad results a womens football team (or other support) appoints a strict no nonsense manager (female) who has experience managing in men’s football. She then inforces stick discipline controlling most of the players life and forces them to get identical practical haircuts.
A rich brat gets her long hair done at a very expensive salon. But when she goes to pay her dad has cut off her cards and as punishment the owner cuts her hair off for extensions and forces her to work as a shampoo girl to pay off her debt. When her dad finds out he likes that she is working and threatens to cut her out completely if she doesn’t keep the job.
A young women who gets a job at a salon from a friends recommendation discovers that they have a mandatory haircut policy after its too late too back out.
Two biology/chemistry students are caught in the labs with there long hair down against school policy. They have no choice but to go to the university salon or get suspended. After having there hair cut short they use experimental hair products developed by the lab (hair growth inhibitor/permanent dye/etc cetera). They start to suspect this was an elaborate scheme for the lab to get test subjects.
Two hikers in a country where they don’t speak the language get trapped in a small village when they miss the last bus. Not knowing what to do they go into town where the only place open is the local barbershop. A few misunderstandings later and they both have there hair chopped off and leave to spend the night with two young guys from the village.
An all womens dorm is made up of 6 college students. Five with very long hair one with a short pixie but over the course of a year through persuasions, bets and peer pressure all are convinced to part with their long hair.
If anyone likes and wants to write any of these feel free. Also if anyone has any ideas of there own or a variation on one of these let me know because I have been looking for new story ideas to potentially write.

ParticipantJust curious if you’ve checked out The Start of Something New series. Far from a one off, but I do recognized some similarities between some of the ideas you suggest & what happens in that series.
Instead of a Woman’s football team, it’s about a group of college cheerleaders & they all live in a giant mansion on campus together. They all start as the typical long hair cheerleader but one by one that slowly changes. So, maybe not a dorm, but close & similar idea.
Other ideas are a bit more of a stretch but I see modifications. IF you’re interested, it is a bit of a commitment, but hopefully the reward is there.

anonymous userParticipantI have read parts of the start of something new series. Although I find ensemble stories aren’t really my thing because I struggle to be interested in more than a few characters at a time.
I can definitely see the similarities between it and the dorm idea but I was imaging it more as having one pov character and most the girls being very minor side characters. Whereas the start of something new series has quite a bit of characterisation for all the girls which makes each of the haircuts more personal but I presume takes much more effort to write.
The women’s football team idea is quite a bit different in that the cuts would be forced by the manager rather than convinced over time. This idea was inspired by some of the hairapparent stories where there’s almost a production line of ponytails that have been cut off.

ParticipantI understand exactly what you mean. The Start of Something New started off more as you describe, with one main character & the story told from her perspective with each new chapter dealing with a different teammate. I decided to make it more of an ensemble. Personally, I’m not as into the forced/punishment kind of stories. So the nice thing about this site is it has a little of everything for all interests.
Yes, I wanted to further develop these characters. Honestly, writing the haircuts is the least interesting/fun part for me, but also the part I think needs the most emphasis given what this site is. I have all the ideas, it’s getting them down that’s been the challenge.
I am intrigued by some of these ideas, though, so hopefully you’ll take a run at it & see what you can come up with.

ParticipantLike Wozzie,I am not into force but persuasion…those who force others need to be punished for doing that before the story’s over or it leaves a bad taste for me.
That said,the one with the editor and the journalist…is the editor a short-hair evangelist with short hair herself?…or does she have long hair and get off on making others go short who don’t want to?2nd December 2024 at 11:28 pm #63505
anonymous userParticipantThe editor and journalist idea I came up with because I got recommended an article from some fashion magazine about a writer saying they would never cut there long hair. I didn’t really think about the editor but it would probably have been someone with long hair on a power trip.
I understand not being into forced stuff I’m not entirely sure why I like some of it and not others. It largely because of how personal I see hair as being. I think a story where someone doesn’t care about there hair at all is less interesting than someone who is super attached. Hair being very personal especially to femininity and people identity make it being cut very powerful for lack of a better word. I more prefer when it is out of a characters control but still partly because of their actions then physically forced.
For me I find the dread and knowledge there is no choice just as interesting as the haircut. After the haircut too I find characters not liking there haircut (as it represents an identity) erotic although I doubt this is common. For me someone with long hair is far more interesting (for lack of a better word) if they want to cut it short and vice versa.
Also regarding the point on endings I prefer unhappy ending to happy ones (I don’t know why). And stories leaving a bad taste, as you put it, through the bad people winning or bad things happening to good people are more interesting to me. Although this is largely just me liking angst and happy endings feeling hollow to me.

ParticipantIf something is to be erotic to me it can’t be a downer…bad guys must lose,period.
I like to see a woman transformed progressively far beyond where she would have intended to go at the beginning,but never unwilling at any stage of the process.3rd December 2024 at 8:03 pm #63521wozziewoo
ParticipantKind of unrelated, but similar. Given the different views expressed here, curious what the interest level would be for this story idea. The actual hair cutting would be almost secondary, but the thought process & “potential anguish” would be the driving point of the story. It may be a sliding doors/choose your own adventure kind of story where different decisions lead to different outcomes. Facing different choices & making difficult decisions & then dealing with those consequences would drive the story. There would be hair cutting involved, but not be the main focus. Just curious how people would feel about something like that.

ParticipantI just noticed…the first of the one-shot ideas presumably intends a cosmETology student rather than a cosmology student?
Quite a difference in disciplines/settings. -
