I am in love with a young lady, but she lives very far away.
Also, she is a little too young.

>>1248169
aw, im flattered

inb4 "i wish to be the little girl."
I wish I could just magically finish my PhD and move on. This, however, is not happening anytime soon. Enjoy the grinder.

>>1248176
Good luck with that grindan.

I wish I could apply to a real 4-year university in the major I want without having to worry about financial aid and other related shit.

Also, I wish to have more loli friends.

To break beyond selfishness of individual, gene, proximity, belief, and race.

>>1248176
>>1248184
What do you plan to do with your degrees?

Can you step out into the working world?

I wish I had a tuna fish sandwich w/light mayonnaise. I'm hungry.

>>1248190
I love language. I don't mind people, I just see them as... I don't know how to explain it. They're more like utilities. Not that I'm autistic, I still recognize them as human, just that I don't really care how they perceive me or anything like that.

>>1248197
DEEP

I want to become King of England .... despite not even being British.

>>1248205
But that position brings you no power... would the prime minister be better?

I want to build a robot girl and a SAW that fires shotgun shells just like a SAW.

I want to make a VN, but I can only code, can't write and can't draw

I also wanted to invent a dimentional travel device that's just like the one in Sliders except it's whenever I want and wherever I want instead.

i hope to one day die, as immortality would really suck

>>1248227
I wish I could code...

>>1248239
coding is quite easy, it just looks intimidating due to the irregular syntax. take a class or pick up a book, its really quite easy to learn

>>1248239
Can you write or draw?

>>1248243
Too apathetic too learn

>>1248248
Writing's somewhat okay - drawings are shit.

>>1248248
Not that anon, but I can write.

>>1248243
quiet, you

I want to design and build a combining die cast toy robot, like the ones I buy.

I think I can achieve it, but I have more important concerns at the moment. Mostly to find a career I enjoy, and to help out my mother and sister, who are struggling with their own problems.

And after all that, I just want to take it easy. I'm not bullshitting or trying to be a meme fag. I'd really love to be able to relax, and to just be free from my worries.

i wish to be a power ranger..

>>1248253
>>1248256
Write something then, if it makes me BAWWW or laugh i'll VN-ize it

I wish to be a mecha pilot

>>1248268
I have the foundation of a novel that I'm going to try writing when I get a little older. It's probably a stupid idea and I'll fail, but it'll be about a scientist that discovers a way to save memories. He then, partway through, succeeds on restoring these memories to a different body. The body happens to be a young girl, and they were his memories. From that point out, the story will be told from the point of view of the old-scientist-turned-loli, who must now struggle with the idea of being a copy of a person, let alone being in the wrong gender and age body.

>>1248289
Oh, I forgot to mention: it'll try to be a statement about self-identity, by using the irony of a young girl actually being an old, very intelligent man.

>>1248289
>However, like all projects Anon starts, will inevitably fail.

>>1248292
So... is it going to be mostly BAWWW or mostly funny?
Because I think you need to rouse some kind of emotion in the reader for the story to be a success

>>1248297
When I said irony I didn't mean comedy. I meant the illogical and opposite situation that differs from the expectation. The story itself will be about the copy of the scientist trying to come to terms with a new body and a new life, and will definitely be more of a drama. Ultimately, such a thing shouldn't exist, and the real scientist will likely try to right his wrong in the end. The way it'll play out will make the reader question whether or not the copy, being a fully mentally capable person, and by that time accustomed to the body he's in (actually more of a female by that point), has the right to life.

>>1248297
Give me a few minutes. I'll write up a preliminary bit of the story. I've played this particular scene through in my head quite a few times, so I'll put one iteration of it in writing.

>>1248289
Be sure to advertise that book here if it ever gets published.

I want to be wealthy enough that I never have to work a day in my life.

>>1248306
and to earn such money you must work.
what a paradox, eh?

I need to finish up my airports maket see if I can get one or to friends to help.
PS Majoring in Architecture is a bitch but I really love it.

I will be the one to destroy death.

>>1248372

>>1248368
Where are you studying arch? I was doing architectural engineering at Cal Poly, but when I found that they forced you to do all the art and drafting that a normal architecture student goes through, I couldn't do it. They graded based on the quality of your art, and to pass the class I was having to spend more hours than I could afford in a day doing a single oblique on vellum.

4chan's probably gonna fuck up the whitespace. Try to bear with it, and remember that this is something that I literally just typed up and quickly proof-read. It's merely a general reflection of the idea behind the story in my head, and is not intended to be an actual piece of edited writing to be critiqued as if it appeared in a work of literature.

Slowly, I feel my body rouse itself to consciousness. It's a long process, and I fear for what put me out cold. As I come back to the surface, it almost seems like my brain has to manually reconnect with my senses...
First I get my sense of touch. I feel the cold of the floor; I must have been knocked on my back by the shock. Shortly after, I find my sense of smell and taste. I can definitely taste an electrical shock - that kind of weird tinny flavor you get after you rub your tongue along a 9-volt.
Then I can hear, and this is when I start getting concerned.
"Doctor! Are you alright?!" That would be Laura. Of course I'm alright, just let me get a hold-
"Yeah, the backlash was worse than last time though," I respond. Or... someone responds. But, that wasn't me, I didn't say-
"What of her?" that same voice inquires.
"The vitals are there, like always, but there are no signs of awareness. It was probably a failure again," Laura explains, solemnly.

Then I become aware of my body. I can feel it... things are weird. It's like every inch of my body had fallen asleep on me, and I have to work and concentrate to wake it up. Ah! I feel it! Pain, I feel pain! A pain in my lungs that is excruciating! Breathe! Focus, focus. Remember your mouth, remember the feeling of drawing the air in through your mouth...

I hear myself draw in a sharp breath, and a gasp of surprise from Laura. I told you I was alright, you fool, but you seemed to be more interested in the experiment. I take but a moment to mentally probe my body. My limbs are all still asleep, but they don't feel injured. My stomach's empty, a lot emptier than I remember it being. I ate lunch only two hours before we attempted this experiment, so I shouldn't be that hungry...
Ah, my eyes. I can feel my eyelids. So, I try to open them.
I see myself.
"She's awake..." I say. No, wait. I didn't say that.
"Are you alright?" I ask. It was my voice, and my lips moved, but I never meant to say those words. I try to ask Laura what's going on, but all that comes out is a high-pitched groan.
Wait. High pitched? This isn't right, something's not right. No, don't panic, calm, calm. Breathe. Ah, too late- I reach my hand up to rub the pain from my temples, but a fragile little hand responds. What? I turn my face to look at it, but then I notice that my reflection doesn't follow.
"W-... What's going on here?" I hear a young voice stumble out.
"Whoa... she... is alive." I say - he says - as a startled look comes over my - his? - face . It's definitely "him". But who is he, then, if not me? Or, who am I, if not him? I sit up, hurriedly, and bump myself in the head. I quickly raise my hand - he raises his hand? - to rub the spot where we hit. I'm still too dazed to recognize the pain...

Who am I, if not him? I look at me square in the eyes. Look at him. Him. That's not me.
"Who are you?" I ask, in the same young voice.
"Doctor Michael Gerard."
"I'm Doctor Gerard. Who are you, I asked."
"No, I'm Doctor Gerard. You," I - no, he - sighs as he looks me in the eyes again, "are a copy of my memories."

Memories. That's right.

"The... experiment?" the small voice asks.
"If you're here, a success." I... Doctor Gera-... He responds.
"Then... I'm...?"
"Yes."

A fresh rush of panic washes over me. I'm the result of the experiment. I'm a copy of me. Of him. A copy.
Wait. That means that I'm in the body of the girl. I look down-

>>1248190
I'll probably hide in the soft cocoon of academica, or go into journalism (I have an associates degree in journalism) or publishing.

>>1248368
Oskar?

>>1248409
>>1248411
>>1248412
And the tl;dr for those fags here that don't like stories: "lulz im a loli now"

>>1248412
>>1248411
>>1248409

Interesting. I'd read such a VN if it was ever made, assuming it doesn't degenerate into some kind of shitty X-Change type scenario.

Hmmm this story have potential
But with a loli involved, I can't help but hope for rape and BAWWW

by the male-self of course

>>1248415
ANDRE~

>>1248433
Worse. Think about any graduation parties you recently attended.

>>1248423
Yeah, I want a "LOL TURNED INTO A GIRL" game that isn't a shitty porn with porn game.

>>1248409
>>1248411
>>1248412
I like it. But make two versions, the manga version the serious one and the other version serious mixed with humor for it to go far.

>>1248423
No, the idea will be that he tries to fit into the body, because when he doesn't he invariably ends up having to come up with some kind of explanation for why a little girl is acting the way he does. He basically tries to find a medium in which he can exist without standing out and having people wonder, yet can still feel like he is himself.

Then, right before the copy is able to accept himself for who he has become, "he" (as he really becomes more and more of a female) then has to deal with his original's realization that this power should not exist, and that it goes against the "natural law". In the end, the scientist's morals win out and he then concludes that he must "fix" this imbalance in the universe.

>>1248444
Are you saying that it has to be light-hearted and contain humor in order to sell well? I don't believe that's true. I think that it would even sell better if I can write it properly with a dark tone to it. Relying on comedy and good feelings is a crutch to a writer.

>>1248450

Most excellant. Some interesting concepts you have there, and I really hope you have the ability to successfully pull them off. I really do hope you can come up with some kind of rationale explanation as to why they chose a young girl to use as a test subject though.

I've got ambitions for life after death. The way fate has revealed itself to me, I can live without fear.

>>1248466
Young girls are often offed by the impoverished, because they are weaker and draw from the family rather than give (dowries are just one example of this). It is just much more economically feasible to be able to purchase a young girl than a young boy. As for the fact that it's a girl and not a woman - well, uh. Dunno. It felt like it would make more sense.

>>1248473

Ah, I'm sure you'll be able to come up with some pseudoscience reason for it. Something along the lines of needing a brain mature enough to accept the 'data' but not old enough to have suffered and real decay.

>>1248486
Actually, that's what I was thinking. A body whose soul had not had enough years to attach (which would occur during puberty, of course).

To wander the Earth until I die, having a positive impact on those I meet.

>>1248457
Dark tone is good too but just remember, your readers are not reading to get preached about your views on mind-body dualism, you have to first of all entertain them. It doesn't have to be comedical but it does have to engage them emotionally

>To wander the Earth until I die, having a positive impact on those I meet

Is that you Mr Junker with a memory card?

>>1248500
sup kino

I just want to see some decent robots before I die.

i wish to have a hologram waifu

>>1248509
>>1248520
Kino? Mr Junker?

I not understand...

>hologram waifu

That shit never ends well

>>1248532

You already have a monitor; why do you need something else you can look at yet never touch?

I dream to see most of the world one day. At the moment, I'm trying to find a job that I really like, or if not that, at least something that can let me have access to the net/computer while I work.

>>1248503
The story was never meant to be about preaching. It was meant simply to tell a story. The scientist will adopt a rather harsh sense of self, which will be played upon to inspire a connection with the copy who merely wishes to be able to accept who (s)he has become.

Any philosophy or questions that arise out of the story are going to be brought about by the reader. I feel it's important to simply leave it as a story. Since the narration will be originally from the point of view of the scientist, and then from the loli, the reader will see their takes on the subject at hand, but only in terms of simple desires and wishes - the desire to live, the hope of self-acceptance, etc. I hope it will be easy to feel a connection with the loli, as many people sometimes struggle to find their own identity and means of accepting themselves in life. Then, when the scientist in the end finally decides to act upon what is "right" - the reader should feel that he is in fact the villain, despite his altruistic and very "for the right of the world" intentions.

It's that inner struggle - knowing that the scientist is right, but wanting the loli to live - that I hope will capture the reader.

>>1248538
but she would be a tsundere hologram i could talk to. also i hate physical contact. skin cells fucking suck

>>1248546
Oh i see where you're going with this, yeah that might work

Probably not on the anon here at /jp/ though, since anon wishes to be the little girl

>>1248537
sauce?

Continuing from: >>1248617

Third, recent studies have actually shown that a lot of the conscious thought appearing to us as sentience is actualyl a side-product of our brain explaining the things to our consciousness as it goes on, not necessarily the other way around. The sentient responses have often been observed to occur after the action - think of reflex movements - only on a grander scale. Considering scientific accuracy in this, you'll probably have to drop some of the mind-body dualism you intended for this, since it's rather apparent the mind is not a distinct part from the body at all.

For suggested reading before doing anything, take a peek on established, famous scifi writers who have tackled issues similar to this, then decide what you want to take them and what you want to do differently. It's not an excuse to say you don't want outside influence, since as a writer, you have to think stuff through a lot more than the reader does, you have to be several steps ahead of your audience, always. This includes knowing or recognizing several viewpoints.

First thing to do, read Blindsight by Peter Watts. It's available online here:
http://www.rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm

>>1248546

Hm.

When you first described the story I almost facepalmed due to the "I wanna be the little girl", but now that you've elaborated it a bit, we can get into business.

First, you might want to drop stuff like the main character covering 'her' sex upon waking up. Assuming he's a copy of the scientict himself, he should be just as ruthless and up-to-the-point in proving the experiment as the original one were. In a way, he should also feel a sense of relief and success upon waking up and realizing the situation, nor should he care about covering a body he's probably himself operated earlier.

Second, people do not usually recognize their voice unless they are extensively videotaped and follow the recordings of themselves. The voice will have a familiarity, but due to different POV and different filtering aspects of the girl body's ears - if the person can't connect the dots enough to know his situation upon waking up, he clearly can't recognize his own voice.

I wish I could have a new computer and a DS.
I could get a job, yeah, but leaving my room is a bad thing

Give me a new computer every 3 years, next gen consoles when they come out, and food everyday, adn I could live indefinitely.

if any of you has read Stephen king's "Everything's Eventual" short story (Dinky Earnhart), that's the kinda life I want to live.

>>1248628
Enjoy your endless and meaningless existence

>>1248629
There is no meaning in this endless universe.

>>1248632
This universe is finite.

And we make our own meaning.

>>1248632
You're suppose to go look for them, hence what this thread is about

>>1248166

I wish to change the world. Although to do so I have to change the perspective and thoughts of mankind.

I am starting by infiltrating a respected community and hope to spread my propaganda for a better world soon.

Will be graduating from med school and become a doc in a rural area. Soon they will know. Soon.

tl;dr Jokes aside, do want to make the world a better and nicer place. Starting small.

>>1248653
Don't bother. Mankind is shit.

What makes this world more real than a fictional one? I want to solve that, or at least show the way to find it. So I want to produce a zero-parameter theory of everything, something that explains all of nature without any possible tweaks. That way we'll know that this universe is objectively real. Then we can start looking at achieving something with it.

I also want to marry and raise a daughter, but for now I'm putting everything into getting a Fields Medal, since that's more time-limited.
