/lit/ - Literature

Hey /lit/ - I have a bit of a personal mission to get a 5000 word short-story done by the 16th of December.

I have a few loose ideas, but none of them are exactly screaming at me to be fleshed out and given an actual plot.
If you have amusing ideas/settings, suggestions would be very welcome.

Also, I can post some of the ideas I do have, and maybe someone might have some good advice for further plot-development and such.

“Welcome back to the Province of Toronto, Mr. Dresden. ” A soft-voice rescinded its temporary hold on Matthias’ vehicle while two white sphere’s with glowing red eyes examined him through the tinted glass of his car. “The Toll for Vehicles in the city is currently: $25.50.” The Voice chimed. “Please insert your card.”

Matthias didn’t move. His gloved fingers tightly wound around the authentic leather of the BMW. Closing his eyes, he could see himself through the camera’s eyes- and saw the bytes of data flowing through the Toronto Police Department in regards to his vehicle. “Please,” The Voice chimed once again. “Insert your card.” Yet as it spoke the camera lights turned a bright turquoise and the steel bar blocking Matthias’ entrance onto the 401 Highway eased into the walls on either side of the car. Behind him, a sea of vehicles all moving at inches per hour impatiently waited for their chance to make and spend their money in the metropolis. Matthias pressed down on the accelerator, and bolted forwards.

The forum is just a bunch of egotistical kids clawing for power. They could have easily held the discussions on /lit/, but instead they have to move it onto their territory so that they can be in control. This on its own is fine, but then they continue to invite people from /lit/ over, making it thereby an extension of /lit/. Why not just have the discussions here? It's not like the board moves fast. I'm pretty sure it's so that whoever the admin of this shit is can have the ultimate superhero powers to lock and delete threads, making him the toughest kid in town!

Sup /lit/,
How many of you are published? What format?
