Goddamn, some of the stories on Royal Retard are alright, but actually finding them is more trouble than it's worth. The ratings are comments are completely arbitrary because it seems like fluency is the only critera for some of these people, and if the bar is that low it's no wonder. I'm not averse to some wish fulfillment fantasy slop every once and a while, but it's completely undermined by the godawful pacing. Maybe it's my experience as an English tutor in college, but it's impossible to get into a story when my brain is more occupied with how much of the story I could gut and instantly improve it.

What would you recommend to someone who just read 10 books from PK. Dick in the span of a month and wants more Dick. His whole insanity/false reality themes really do it for me.

Can I get into Royal Hollowway with an ACC? I was an A* student I swear, I resat but covid happened and resitters didn't get new grades. I don't want to go to fucking Swansea anymore. Please. I'm thinking of doing Bussiness and management, my year at Swansea has put me off English Lit

>You're not wrong but if you read the notes to certain editions, you will see it has origins elsewhere
Would love to see one of those notes

What a fucking WHORE. She should be married with children leading a fulfilling life, not being a fucking prostitute. I hate modern women so much. I HATE THEM SO FUCKING MUCH.

I'm pretty good at coming up with ideas for a story, and I also wouldn't say my prose is inherently bad, there are some short sequences that I think I've written quite well. But when it comes to properly executing the whole idea into an actual novel and meshing all those sequences together, I'm always very unsatisfied with my efforts and lose passion for the entire project.
I unironically think some of my ideas could make for bestsellers if they were given to experienced authors, but I can't bring myself to create something good or even just finish a single damn thing just to see how shitty it ended up being. Is there anything I can do?
